R.K.L.- VFW, Green Bay Wi 8/26/94 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape complete Rich Kids on LSD

For today’s On This Date in history, I decided to pull this one out. I feel bad because after I worked this up, I realized that I teased posting a Robbie Fulks show from The Palms on this date (we have a series of Sac Music Archive songs airing on KDRT where that was done), and I Robbie Aki was ok with releasing the beer lords video that I filmed in on this date 1988. D’oh! Sorry.

This one comes once again from Jason Ross’ collection. I could have sworn I already posted this but no- only the board tape from this show. Maybe someday we can put it all together. Barry ward has about 15min of this show on his channel, but this is the more complete 50min set, and probably all that exists.

Lagwagon- Berkeley Square, Berkeley Ca. 8/26/94 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape enhanced

Brian McKenna mentioned that today is the anniversary of a show that he promoted at Grind skate park in west sac- Lagwagon headlined. I wasn’t at that one, but here is a different Lagwagon show that took place about a year before in Berkeley. Not too bad for a 1994 audience video!

R.K.L.- VFW, Green Bay Wi. 8/26/94 Audio only xfer from 1st gen soundboard Rich Kids on LSD

I’ve been on a bit of an RKL kick lately. It is fun to hear these shows, but also heartbreaking to listen to Jason. He was so funny- I didn’t know he had kids. Just tragic that he passed away while trying to get clean.

Anyway, this is another recording from that amazing gift that is the Jason Ross archive. I popped it into Izotope and bumped the vocals down a bit, and bumped the bass up a bit. Mix fluctuates for the 1st 5min or so but settles down. Very enjoyable.

Slayer- Fresno Wilson Theater, Fresno Ca 8/23/94 xfer from 8mm master tape enhanced Thrash Metal

Here’s the last one from Gary’s ( @bootlegcowboys ) for a bit. He already has this posted on his channel, but this is a fresh transfer done on my equipment and then denoised in Adobe/Neat Video. That denoising works wonders for these grainy 8mm tapes. Big thanks to Gary for giving me the OK to post these “Sacramento” based videos (I am pretty liberal with that, I include central valley).

Lush- KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic, Santa Monica Ca 8/9/94 xfer f/ DAT FM Clone Interview 4ad indie

For today’s On This Date in History, I digitized a DAT that I cloned myself back in 1994. From 1992-1995, I lived in Whittier (southern cal). I had a few good friends during my time there. Kevin Haynes lived up in the northern part of the L.A. area and could pick up a good signal from KCRW. Almost all of these old KCRW DATs came from him. Thanks Kevin!

I was excited to digitize this one as I didn’t remember a Lush KCRW MBE performance. Well, now I know why- they didn’t perform. It was just interview along with CD tracks. It’s an entertaining interview with Miki and (I think) Chris, which makes it historically significant regardless.

R.I.P. Chris.
