Elsah- Varsity Theatre, Baton Rouge La 4/28/05 Xfer from Hi8 Master Enhanced alt.country
In case you missed it on the first Elsah post, here is some info about the band: “Elsah formed around singer-songwriter Neil Werries in St. Louis in 1997. Stories of growing up in rural and small town central Illinois along with a love of bands like Uncle Tupelo, the Meat Puppets and Blue Mountain inspire Elsah’s blend of punk, rock and old time country music. Werries relocated to Baton Rouge in 2001, continuing to write and perform with likeminded musicians. Elsah’s three-guitar front – Werries on acoustic, Sam “Boykin” Short and Glenn Harris on lead – is rounded out by Nick Butitta (bass) and Chad Townsend (drums). Elsah has remained as a standard bearer of Alt-country music throughout the Gulf South for over 20 years.”

Grand Champeen, Li’l Cap’n Travis, Moonlight Towers- Covers Night 2, Parish, Austin Tx 4/23/05 digit
Late posts today because everything has been more work than it has seemed.. all day long.
Here is a classic show of 3 great Austin bands- 2 of which are some of my all time favorites, playing mostly covers for On This Date in History.
I could not figure out where one band ends and another one begins for this show. There is one clear set change at about 30min, and I hear Grand Champeen doing Ace of Spades at about 85min, but otherwise I don’t know. The fact that they are doing covers, although it makes for a fun/unique show, isn’t helping with the splits. So you get it ALL. Enjoy Austin’s finest doing covers of their favorite bands.
The board mix was heavy on vocals and light on everything else, so I rebalanced it in Izotope. That’s why it is so late- it took 2 hours to process!
The “digit” at the end of this is supposed to be “digital clone” as it bounced from DAT to CDR etc.
Recorded by: ? (I would not be surprised if the taper was Lance Davis)

Billy Goats Gruff- Moods, Sacramento Ca 4/9/05 xfer from band VHS tape
Last video post of the weekend is a local band called Billy Goat’s Gruff. They had Billy Haggard on guitar, Mike Parisi on drums, and Nino Luna on Bass. They played a mix of covers and originals. Billy also achieved recognition as the kid from the mattress commercials who would say “tell ’em Billy sent ya!”.
Camera does not move, so it is a better listen than a watch.

Groovie Ghoulies- Boardwalk, Orangevale Ca. 4/1/05 xfer from DV Master!
Good morning! I am starting to get back into a rhythm of posting stuff, now that the move is done. I know a lot of people have asked for things- I’ll get to those as I find them. Things are still a bit disorganized. Here is a Groovie Ghoulies set , opening for 7 seconds at the Boardwalk in 2005. I don’t think I ever shared this before. Filmed with a higher end DV camera with stock mic (don’t remember the model).

7 Seconds- Boardwalk, Orangevale Ca 4/1/05 xfer from DV Master Tape enhanced w/ DAT Soundboard Audio
This was the first 7 seconds show I saw in 5 years. I am a bit perplexed as to why- I usually catch every show when they play around here. Maybe they were on hiatus.
This is a really great and fun show. I love when Kevin helps to direct the stagediver off stage- too funny. His voice is a little hoarse from being sick and being on the road for a month, but still sounds great.
Audio sounds great- Claude gave a nice mix and I was able to make it even better in Izotope. This was filmed with an older DV camera that was on its way out- it had a dead pixel and no image stabilization. The camerawork is a little shaky.

Groovie Ghoulies- Boardwalk, Orangevale Ca. 4/1/05 enhanced Master DV video rebalanced soundboard
Kepi announced something on his facebook page today- it is a cool new thing called “99 Lives”, which is a limited membership program through Patreon. A maximum of 99 people will be allowed and he performs daily for you. Sounds cool. Check his page if you are interested.
Here is a show I filmed back in 2005, and it could be the most “on” I have ever seen them. We don’t get a chance in Sacramento to see the touring machine that were the Ghoulies. We would see one off shows during breaks in touring. They are firing on all cylinders here- it bums me out that they only had a 30min set. I could have taken an hour set, easy!
