Adolescents- Goldfield Trading Post, Sacramento 9/18/24 4k UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Audio punk

The Adolescents “co-headlined” that Strung Out show a couple weeks back, and it was a really great set. They were playing songs that they had not played for YEARS- Brats in Battalions, OC Confidential, and Lockdown America… then I checked the album I bought at the show. The new record has re-recordings of all those songs. Hm. Great set.
The audio sounds better on this one vs. Strung Out since I was closer to the stage. I was almost taken out by the pit a few times so I moved back for Strung Out. Too bad, this sounds way better.
One last thing- I made a massive mistake. The band started abruptly and I had to hurry to start the G9ii, and in the process I started it and immediately stopped it again. I thought I was filming away until about 9 minutes in- I see no recording indicator on the camera. The camera was powered on but not recording. D’oh! So for the first 10 min or so, you only get the 3 gopro angles, then the G9ii kicks in. Speaking of kicking, I was kicking myself for that screwup.
Features Adam Gomez from The Dickies on drums!

Adolescents- Ace of Spades, Sacramento 2/26/22 Complete Show 4K UHD Punk Tony Cadena Reflex

It took a while for this one to get prepped- the audio on my master recording was super thin, so I had to wait for better audio. The audio has some slight issues in one channel on and off, but it is still WAY better than the audio from my little point and shoot.
I have to admit, I was not as into this set as I expected. I am a huge Adolescents fan, and I have driven to the bay are multiple times to see them… but this set left me cold. Maybe it was due to me being on the back balcony, I was not close. This was also the first time I have seen them without Steve Soto, so that could be it. Dunno. Hope you like it.

Adolescents- BComplex, Portland Or 8/12/06 xfer from master tape Live

Here’s another nice looking video from Craig Babb. There is no decent quality video of the band from this era, so happy this exists. Same call goes out on this one – if anyone has any leads on any high quality audio from this show, let me know.

Adolescents- Rock on Broadway, San Francisco Ca 7/19/86 xfer master audio cassette with Discontent?

It’s always a bummer when a band has an off night. This Adolescents show was plagued with an endless series of sound and technical issues. First, there were sound problems. Then an amp blew or something. The odd thing is that there is a metal band that plays at about the 28:00 mark, then more Adolescents after the tape flip. Wayne said the most metal band on the bill was Discontent, so it may be them.
Wayne emailed me a more accurate flyer for the show, but I either forgot to use it or it came after I created this. Sorry.
