Avail- New York City 4/21/96 Xfer from Low Gen VHS tape Enhanced Tim Barry

Here’s another one from Wayne Triggs’ stack of VHS tapes. Man, this one is super low gen- it almost looks like a master tape, but that’s impossible. No smears/color bleed common with copied VHS tapes.
The date is a guess, but it looks the same as a different angle of the show entitled “AVAIL NYC 4/21” on youtube. The poster put them up on 4/22/06, so I am running with it. Someone tell me if I have it wrong.

Avail- Nile Theater, Mesa Az. 7/28/95 xfer from low gen audio tape Tim Barry

Here’s a decent audience recording of Avail right when they started their lookout records run. I decided to post this one because of the unruly crowd – it sounds like there was at least one person who was disrupting the show. Tim had to stop the song/show multiple times because of this guy.
It sounds like this was done with some type of pro walkman, it has that “big hall echo” going.

Avail- Macondo’s, Long Beach Ca 1/1/95 xfer 1st gen VHS tape complete show enhanced Tim Barry Punk

Well, I did everything I could with this one but the lighting was not very good in the first place. Well, the lighting is good on the crowd, but not the band. I took it from being super dark to semi-watchable. Thanks again to Wayne Triggs for letting me digitize and enhance these shows for posting.
