Magnolia Thunderfinger- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca 12/31/97 xfer from low gen VHS

So I found this video for sale in one of our local COOL record shops. I checked with Jim McLain and was surprised to hear that it appears to be uncirculated! What a find!
The camera performs some extreme light adjustment when shotting skid (and the Old I lighted sign) and other members away from the light. It’s cool once you get used to it.

The Kirby Grips- KALX Live in Studio, Berkeley Ca. 12/13/97 xfer from master cassette tape SFTRI

Happy 2024 everyone, here is another bay area-based band performing live in the KALX studio. It looks like they put out a couple of releases on my ex-brother in law’s label, Sympathy for the Record Industry. Cool- I had not heard them before this. Hopefully Rick will see this post, since he is off enjoying the weather in Australia! I am not jealous at all.

Baseball Furies- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 12/12/97 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette punk estrus

Here’s one from Robert Eggplant’s collection.
American punk band formed in Buffalo, New York and moved to Chicago, Illinois later on.
This might be their only show at Gilman- the list has nothing, not even this show. Had to dig into newspaper dot com archives to find a listing.
