Centro-Matic: Great American Music Hall, San Francisco 2/19/03 xfer from DV Master!
Here’s a video of Centro-Matic in their prime. This set was pretty short because they were opening for Ben Kweller on this tour.. but it was the only video of Centro that turned out ok. I did another from 2002 in Sacramento, but it is super dark. Filmed with a nice JVC DV camera- don’t remember model #. I also have a DAT soundboard of the set, but this audio is just from the camera.

Whitesnake- Arco Arena, Sacramento 2/19/03 xfer f/ master/1st gen enhanced multicam with soundboard
It’s Friday! Since it is a long holiday weekend, let’s do a 4 video weekend- one from each collection I am working, plus one from me.
This one comes from Todd Nakamine’s collection- he has a bunch of promo TV stuff in there. This one caught my eye as it was unique and it was from Arco Arena- it was produced by a smaller community cable show called C.C. Rock. CC Rock is/was a half hour TV Show created in 1998 by Metal Matt Bolender. Matt was posting some of his archival live shows on youtube (channel name MetalMatt Bolender if you want to check it out), but he seems to have stopped about a year and a half ago.
Anyway, this was a 30 minute show that had Whitesnake promos, interviews and some live footage from the Arco Arena show (2 cameras with soundboard audio! wow). Youtube blocked the whole thing worldwide because of the promos so I had those edited out, you get the 19min that is remaining.
Produced by: C.C. Rock

Centro-matic: Great American Music Hall, San Francisco 2/19/03 Xfer DV Master w DAT Soundboard Audio
Here is one that I have been wanting to synch up for quite a while, and decided now is a good time because Will Johnson is coming through town (er, Reno) this week! Also, Centro-Matic is scheduled to play their first show in 7 years in a month or so.
Thanks to Will for always being cool about taping.

Scorpions- St Pete Times Forum, Tampa FL 2/2/03 xfer f/record label VHS w/Brian Johnson from AC/DC
Man, going through Todd Nakamine’s VHS tapes is like going on an easter egg hunt. What’s on this tape labeled Squeeze from Country Club? It’s Kiss. How about this one from Def Jam labeled “Scorpions”? The band was never on Def Jam, so it’s a mystery. Well, it’s side stage/camera pit footage of that one time Brian Johnson from AC/DC joined the Scorpions onstage to perform “Rock You Like a Hurricane”. Pure gold!
I wonder how much alcohol was consumed in order to make this seem like a good idea. Glad nobody got hurt.
