Darling Buds- Metro, Chicago Il 12/2/92 xfer from 1st gen cassette WXRT-FM Broadcast

WXRT was such a cool station- they broadcast so many great shows in the late 80s, through the 90s. Many of them have been widely circulated and have even appeared on some official releases- gotta have that bonus material for reissues. This show seems to have flown under the radar a bit. I did not get this from my usual Chicago trading friends (Ross Weyman, Paul Galis, etc) and I got it after I was mainly trading on DAT… I wonder who I got it from…

Naked Raygun- Cabaret Metro, Chicago Il 7/19/91 xfer from master tape/CDR Clone Complete Show Mott

Lots of great things to choose from for today’s On This Date in History. I picked this one because it has been a while since I posted anything Naked Raygun related, even though I have over 50 live shows of theirs and many of the lowest gen copies still out there. It also has a cover of Mott the Hoople’s All the Young Dudes somewhere in this show, which is a treat.
Image for the video was swiped from Naked Raygun’s instagram- that poster is in the rock and roll hall of fame.
I tried to rebalance this one since it needs more guitar to my ears and it just buried the vocals, so you get it as is. Enjoy!

Naked Raygun- Metro, Chicago Il. 5/29/88 xfer from 2nd gen audio cassette Live- hardcore fans only

I had someone from the Naked Raygun: nrmy facebook group ask me to post this one. I warned them that it was terrible quality, but they wanted to hear it anyway. So, sorry about this one. This goes to show that I actually do have some quality control over here- I don’t post everything I digitize… unless someone REALLY wants it. 🙂
Oh, and it is incomplete.

7 Seconds- Chicago, Il. 8/17/86 xfer from fair quality VHS tape Live The Metro?

Man, there are so many things wrong with this video and I spent way too much time trying to fix them. But it is one of my all time favorite sets by the band, and there are not many vids with this lineup. That looks like Joe Bansuelo on bass, and I don’t know on guitar.
So I got this in trade in the late 1980’s and back then, if you got a dub of a VHS tape that was remotely watchable it was amazing. I had a memory of the quality being WAY better on this until I popped it in to digitize it. Yikes. Plus, you have that superimposed “D” that is annoying as hell, which was on the source tape. The guy’s trade list had “D” in the comments and I was like “I wonder what that means”. OH.
I tried to fix the picture but it is way too overexposed. I remixed the audio and de-hum’d it in izotope and then it would not synch back up properly. So here it is, warts and all. No apologies- it is a great set.
