(from Mark Murray): Summer 1994. The City of Roseville used to let us do shows at the Cosmos (the big, red sculpture thing off I-80, near the N. Sunrise Home Depot). They were always jam-packed with a lot of great bands. This video captures the tail end of the Sea Pigs’ set and all of Misery’s Echo. Misery’s Echo consisted of Twig (Kill the Precedent, Diseptikons, Fatso, Spinach), Tim (Second Coming, Fatso, Spinach), and Dave (Koi).

Pat Melarkey, owner of the legendary Melarkey’s venue on Broadway, passed away recently. Thanks to his venue and Brian McKenna, I saw a ton of great bands there.
I have a lot of shows from there to digitize, but thankfully Kirk Janowiak posted this Welt video today. Thanks!

RIP Scott Weiland. Too bad the drugs were stronger than you, as you had talent my man. This was my 2nd time seeing/filming the Pilots. Light show was cool, though the strobes fucked with my focus throughout the gig. Apologies for that, but the feeling of the show is captured beautifully from start to finish. Scott was a dancing madman. Enjoy!

Here’s another gift from Gary (Shurtleff, “Bootleg Cowboys” youtube channel)- he filmed STP at Arco back in 1993. He has this posted on his channel, but this is a fresh transfer with better audio levels, transfer with a digital output, and some denoise work done in Adobe Premiere Elements. Thanks to Gary for giving the OK to post these!

Tonight, Metallica is playing an outdoor show in Sacramento for the first time in over 20 years. It looks like they last played the Cal Expo Amphitheater (during the state fair!) in 1998. This one is from the tour prior to that one- the 1994 tour that came through in the summer of that year.
A huge thanks goes out to Gary Shurtleff (fromthenosebleeds yt channel) for bringing his master tape over last weekend for me to transfer, and for giving the OK to post this one. I see that “metconcerts100” has this posted, but it isn’t from the master tape.
Anyway, I hope everyone has fun at the show tonight- be prepared to walk about 5 miles. I’ll be the guy with longish hair and a 924 gilman hoodie on. Come say hi! If you aren’t going, watch this and imagine being there tonight. Haha.

Prong’s opening set for Sepultura and Pantera was LOUD- you can tell how close they are to overdriving Arco’s sound system. It’s good that Gary (fromthenosebleeds on YT) had specialized mics for volume, otherwise this would be an unlistenable mess.
Don’t let the thumbnail fool you- there are nice closeups throughout the video.

Let’s make this a Gary Shurtleff (posts from my YT channel) and Terry O’Reilly (linked posts to sacramento music archive dot com) weekend.
Here is one of Gary’s. You can see a lot more of his work on his channel- “fromthenosebleeds”. He generously gave me the OK to post Sacramento related stuff he shot. Thanks Gary! I never enjoyed shooting arenas, I have always been more of a small club kind of guy, so I appreciate his work.
Here is Sepultura, Opening for Pantera at Arco. Full set.

Here’s another master from Gary (fromthenosebleeds) that I digitized recently, then degrained. Man, he has a ton of Pantera shows. I think I did about 15 Pantera shows for him. Here is the earliest Sacramento show that he shot- from 1994 with Sepultura and Prong opening. Thanks Gary!

Well, I wish I had an interesting anecdote about this show, but all I recall is that Dean allowed me to shoot from the balcony which is reserved for bands, and that he was very gracious. Otherwise, I’ve got nothing. I am sure it was a good show, but coming off the casbah show the night before meant about 3 hours sleep for me, then this show. Enjoy! Filmed with Sony TR81 and stock mic. Check out the raging seated dinner theater crowd.
