Van Halen- Cal Expo Amphitheatre, Sacramento Ca. 10/13/95 xfer from 8mm master Enhanced upscale 1080

Another classic video from Gary Shurtleff’s collection of master tapes. Check out a lot more of his stuff at @bootlegcowboys – he was the main guy who filmed the arena, stadium, and amphitheatre stuff in the 90s.
I digitized all of his masters for him last summer, then denoised them to remove that 8mm grain and upscaled to 1080p. Looks nice.

Rancid- DV8, Seattle Wa 10/11/95 Audio only xfer from low gen cassette East Bay Punk

This one is an audience tape, but it sounds pretty decent so I figured I’d post it. There was a guy in the northwest who taped on DAT back in the 90s, but his recordings were usually a little more bass-heavy. Regardless, sounds like a pro walkman tape at minimum.

From Jason Ross’ collection

Lordz of Brooklyn- Sublime’s 3 Ring Circus Tour, Nor Cal, October 1995 xfer from Hi8 Master tape

Here is a short clip of a Lordz of Brooklyn show from Steve Rogers’ collection. This was on the October 1995 tour with Sublime. This looks like it could be the Phoenix Theater/Petaluma date on 10/28, but it is hard to confirm. Before the Sublime fans swarm me, there is no Sublime footage. Sorry.
