Here’s a decent audience recording of Avail right when they started their lookout records run. I decided to post this one because of the unruly crowd – it sounds like there was at least one person who was disrupting the show. Tim had to stop the song/show multiple times because of this guy.
It sounds like this was done with some type of pro walkman, it has that “big hall echo” going.

Here is a really cool one for today, again from some of the stuff that I digitized for the Turn it Around doc. This was a poorly lit basement show, and the original tape was super dark… but since Jason Ross had the awesome old-school giant GE VHS camcorder, the recording was clean enough for me to boost the hell out of brightness and exposure to make it watchable. Thanks Jason!

Here is the full soundboard from the Aron’s show. I posted the video earlier this week, but it cuts in at abour the 10 minute mark. I can’t remember, and I wonder why I didn’t film the entire show. I think I was worried about standing in front of people… which explains why I cut Jessy off on the video rather than filming straight on.
One of the best encores ever- Dragon Lady/The Grand Tour. Damn.

Soundboard rebalance (increase bass & guitar, decrease drums) in Izotope.
I don’t think I ever posted or shared this video before. The audio from the camera’s stock audio mic was terrible- totally distorted. I tried to do some shadow correction in premiere but it kinda freaked out, so I merely denoised/degrained the video.
I’ve also had a DAT master soundboard of the show, but the mix was pretty uneven. I was able to rebalance it in izotope to make it listenable.. I pushed it as far as I could without making it sound weird.
Featuring the head and long black hair of Todd Nakamine in the foreground 🙂
Oh, and this is the earliest GF video on youtube… which proves nothing except show how old I am.

Here’s today’s thing. I was working on a video of one of my all-time favorite bands, The Geraldine Fibbers and I found this DAT along with the other one. Here is a DAT clone of their appearance on KCRW MBE, right around when “Lost Somewhere…” was released. I love GF, especially pre-Nels.
