Alright, more historically significant master tapes from Wayne Vanderkuil. This is from the legendary show at Ruthie’s where the entire Venice/Suicidal scene seemed to have converged on berkeley to play a show. This sounds pretty damned good for an early audio recording.
I also learned that Beowulf is back together and they seem to have a million active mambers.

sounds like I might have EQ’d this one, but I didn’t keep my notes
Slowly starting to get back on top of things around here. This is from Wayne Vanderkuil’s amazing collection of tapes. He taped so many shows in the mid to late 80s it is kinda mind boggling. A good amount of his tapes have him and friends (John Scharpen, Andy Andersen, and tons more) goofing off before the bands starts… on tape! I edit most of them out because I am pretty sure that Wayne and friends would be mortified to have them posted, but this one is benign enough to post. lol.
One of the nice things about posting collections at a faster rate is the ability to share more- there is so much to work through. Wayne has hundreds of tapes, and I have shared maye 20 so far.
This one is from one of Suicidal’s early runs up to Northern Cal, and they brought their Welcome to Venice mates Beowulf and No Mercy.
