Rough day today. I digitized a lot of my friend Gary’s 8mm master tapes- he is “fromthenosebleeds” on youtube. I am enhancing (degrain) and posting all of the Sacramento shows, with his approval. Thanks Gary! I know that some of my friends are big PJ fans, so I hope this helps people get through today.

Tonight, Metallica is playing an outdoor show in Sacramento for the first time in over 20 years. It looks like they last played the Cal Expo Amphitheater (during the state fair!) in 1998. This one is from the tour prior to that one- the 1994 tour that came through in the summer of that year.
A huge thanks goes out to Gary Shurtleff (fromthenosebleeds yt channel) for bringing his master tape over last weekend for me to transfer, and for giving the OK to post this one. I see that “metconcerts100” has this posted, but it isn’t from the master tape.
Anyway, I hope everyone has fun at the show tonight- be prepared to walk about 5 miles. I’ll be the guy with longish hair and a 924 gilman hoodie on. Come say hi! If you aren’t going, watch this and imagine being there tonight. Haha.

I should be at the awesome Kepi/Kevin Seconds/Hutch Harris/Dog Party concert at the Side Door right now, but family obligations won out today. Instead, here is an Ozzy Osbourne vid from Cal Expo amp. My friend Gary taped this, and he is not happy with the audio. It’s not bad, it has quite a bit of crowd noise. If anyone has a line on a better audio recording, let me know.
PS: This version of War Pigs caused this video to be blocked. I trimmed it out, but if it is still showing blocked, it should be vieable once YT trims that song out eventually.

Here’s my master recording of Bowie from Cal Expo. It is decent quality- not amazing but quite listenable. It had some of that funky Amphitheater High End Phasing that you get sometime when recording in environments like this. I EQ’d to boost the bass a bit and reduce the high end phasing. Hope you enjoy. I think Jerry Perry, Paul Piazza and Chris Macias all mentioned that they were at this show too! Transferred with a Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck – EMU1212M audio capture card – Reaper.

Back in the late 80s, I was trading VHS tapes like crazy. I saw this video on someone’s trade list and snagged it since I was at the show (check my audio recording on the archive), and although this is a typical arena bootleg video, it’s not that bad.
