Agnostic Front- Metro, Oakland Ca 10/3/18 Multicamera with Rode

After all these years, I had never seen Agnostic Front. They played last month at the Metro so I rolled out with Eric Marias. It was a good show- they played all of the classic songs you’d expect plus their best newer ones. It’s nice when a band knows the songs that people want to hear and they play ALL of them.
Stick with the video- the audio gets better after about 10min and the gopro by the guitar gets readjusted about 10-15min in.

Agnostic Front- Fender’s Ballroom, Long Beach Ca 7/12/86 xfer from unknown gen soundboard tape NYHC

Back in the old punk rock tape trading days of the mid-1980’s, there were a lot of bad quality tapes. REALLY awful sounding stuff. Sometimes a trader would list a tape as a soundboard and it would be a mediocre audience. If you could actually hear the music= SOUNDBOARD! Actual soundboards would almost always be hissy and generated.
Every once in a while, you would get lucky and get a tape that sounds really nice. This one is really a soundboard and pretty damned good. Even though it is an unknown gen tape, there is little to no tape hiss. My only complaints were that it was lacking in bass (which I fixed in EQ) and vocals are a little buried (which I COULD fix if there is enough demand).
Overall, a nice sounding set during the Cause for Alarm era. Check out how low they are on this bill- holy crap what a lineup!
