I did not film this one (obviously)- posting all Ghoulies stuff for the sacramento music archive.

Chumbawamba- Opera House, Toronto Canada 10/20/97 xfer from DAT FM Clone Complete Show
This was supposed to be a collections post, but I had already digitized this one before we “discovered” the Green Day video posted earlier. So, 2 On This Date in History posts today.
This one is for my Sacramento friends- one of the leaders from this band, Danbert Nobacon, is playing the Cafe Colonial along with a STACKED lineup next month! If you only know this band from that one hit, you need to dig deeper. What a story. All that Tubthumping money helped to finance their anarchist collective (and causes) for years. Never lost sight of who they were. So great.

Redd Kross- HMV Music, Toronto Canada 2/19/94 xfer f/ 1st gen audio cassette in store full band
I have been having some trouble with the On This Day in History content this week- I had to make a last-minute change yesterday because the original post was pretty lousy, and now today I went to pull a Naked Raygun tape to digitize and it was mislabeled- the tape number on the excel sheet is wrong.. which means it is here somewhere but lost in a sea of 4,000 cassettes. So then, I tried to do a video that I shot back in 2016. I did a lot of work- long writeup and an enhance job and then realized that I already posted it back then.
So here is a tape that was in the place it was supposed to be (tape 3169) and was not online yet. Man, what an ordeal. That’s why I usually do these ahead of time. Redd Kross played HMV’s performance space back in 1994. I had rated this one really low on the ol’ tape list but it was clean and clear enough to allow for EQ to sound decent.
And yes, I know that is a picture of Sloan. That is the only photo I could find of a band performing at HMV. Coincidentally, I taped Sloan & Redd Kross at the same Melarkey’s show in 1997.

James- Opera House, Toronto Canada 3/8/92 Xfer from Pre-FM Soundboard DAT Clone Laid
It’s the Patreon voter’s choice post of the week!
I decided to have some fun these past couple weeks and look through my “don’t trade” lists for anything I taped that is no longer sensitive, or ones where the statute of “no trade” limitations expired! Haha. Some of my friends (like KN and GD) will be forever “No Trade” at their request, but I can pick out a few to share.
I don’t recall where this one came from, but it sounds fantastic. There is a shorter, muddier sounding FM broadcast of this show but this one is perfect! No annoying FM compression.
If you want to join the voting party, hit up the patreon in comments. This week will be “pick an Aftershock fest day 1 video”- that vote starts late tonight or tomorrow. Next week will probably be more no list audio.
I am clearly having too much fun with this.

7 Seconds- Siboney, Toronto Canada 11/9/89 xfer from 3rd gen? VHS tape Punk
I took yesterday off from posting since I thought everyone would be watching the SB, but the website got over 200 hits so maybe you all hate sports! Speaking of hating sports, here is a 7 seconds video.
I am confused about this DVD- I have a 3rd gen VHS tape that I traded for in the early 90s, but my DVD of this shows it as ? VHS gen-DVD. I think it is my digitized VHS tape, so I am labeling it that way. When I retire, I’ll get the time to compare.
Only 1 song of this show has been posted to YT before!

Slayer- Concert Hall, Toronto Canada 3/31/85 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash Metal Kerry King
It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! This might be the last Ultimate Revenge tour tape that is in his box. It has been so much fun to listen and clean up all of these shows for him.
This one sounds pretty damned good- no distortion, you can hear the low end in the mix, it’s an enjoyable listen. Before all the Venom freaks ask, no- there was no Venom tape in the box from this show. Sorry Joseph!

Slayer- Spectrum, Montreal Canada 3/25/85 xfer f/master/1st audio cassette Tour Manager Doug Archive
I was trying to find something on my youtube channel last weekend and I sorted for drafts.. and holy crap there is a bunch of stuff I forgot to post! Here is the first one. This is THE very last TM Doug tape from the ones he sent me last year. I thought I had done them all, but no. One more. Of course, it’s Slayer.
This one sounds a bit better than the one from the night before at the Spectrum. I don’t know if Doug taped these- they didn’t have quite the same quality as his usual stuff.

Venom- Spectrum, Montreal Quebec Canada 3/25/85 Ultimate Revenge Tour no Mantas xfer f/ Master tape
I made a mistake on the post today- the tape was not marked at all, so I listened and made a guess- with the shout-outs to Voi Vod, I assumed it was the show that they played with them at The Ritz on 4/5/86. Doug just emailed me and told me that it was not the Ritz show, and that it might be Montreal. I went back and listened to the tape closely and Cronos does mention Montreal after Black Metal. A quick check of setlist.fm shows that the set matches the Spectrum show from 3/25/85. So, there you go. I totally whiffed on the ol’ detective work on this one.
here’s my original post for reference:
Since there are not one but two pieces of news about Venom in today’s news cycle, I figured I would post the last Tour Manager Doug master recording of Venom. About those news items- Tom talked about Cronos “hitting” him when we were all backstage at the Crest show in 85, and I think the black eye was still visible. Odd to see that story get some legs all these years later.
Regarding the Venom Inc article about Abaddon’s departure from the band, I’ll keep my opinions (mostly) to myself… but I know how well Antony treats his fans and he was battling cancer as well (not mentioned in the article). He’s a good guy who seems to have gotten a raw deal.
Anyway, this one is definitely a Doug master. You can hear him clowning with friends during breaks in the music- he clearly prefers Voi Vod over Venom “Voigod! haha). Classic!

Slayer- Spectrum, Montreal Canada 3/24/85 xfer from master or 1st gen audio tape Thrash Metal
It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday, and Christmas Eve. A perfect time to post some Slayer.
Btw, it was nice to see everyone at Brian’s benefit show last night. My neck is killing me from looking up at my camera screen for 5 hours. Sorry to The Brodys, Storytellers and Snobs. I hit the wall after 5 hours of filming and had to bail. Kudos to Cardel for keeping the show relatively on schedule. 20 bands playing 12 minute sets was really something!
Anyway, on to the Slayer tape. I suspect that Doug did not tape this one because the type of tape in his collection- it was not the same as what he usually used. Also, the quality of this one is not “tour manager doug quality ™”. It did not have that clear, clean, crisp high end sound while lacking low end that the rest of his does. Oh well, I did my best with EQ’ing it. Fair quality.

Slayer- Spectrum, Montreal Canada 10/29/84 xfer from master audio cassette
It’s Tour Manager Doug Thursday! I am having one hell of a time signing in to youtube on my desktop pc, so I am typing this out on my phone. Man, I hate using my phone for stuff like this. anyway, here is yet another Slayer show from Doug on that Fall 84 run back east. I still have a lot of slayer to post- trying to get them all up before Slayer’s show here in October.
