Feint Tocsin- Candlerock Lounge, Sacramento Ca. 9/28/91 xfer from band VHS tape enhanced Herbicide

Here’s a rare one from Mike Parisi’s collection- a video from Feint Tocsin. They were a progressive metal band who formed around 1985 and were active into the 90s. Features still-active Billy Rainey on guitar. In fact, my daughter had a saxophone lesson at the local music place and I hear a guitar lesson.. they are playing Iron Maiden’s “the Trooper”.. and out pops Billy from the other room. Of course he is still a metal guitar teacher! Classic. Also has Mike Parisi on drums- I never knew he played with them. Also features guitarist from Herbicide- it’s a whos who of the old metal scene!
Anyway, this one sounds pretty good for an audience camcorder recording, and is the longest live show of theirs on YT right now. Their demo is on YT if you like what you hear.
Also, Mike Parisi is selling some old school shirts of some of these band- I think he has a feint tocsin shirt over there. Mike, drop a link if you’d like.

After Dark Club- Candlerock Lounge, Sacramento Ca. 9/28/91 Enhanced xfer from band VHS tape enhanced

I don’t know what happened between bands at the Candlerock at this show, but this one is totally dark and the Feint Tocsin one looks good. Maybe the After Dark Club wanted to be… dark. Dunno.
I did my best to brighten it up and degrain it. Once again, Mike Parisi’s old VHS camcorder mic comes through- it sounds pretty decent. They played so loud that my video of them sounds terrible.

The Rosebuds- Candlerock Lounge, Sacramento Ca. 8/18/90 xfer from master tape enhanced

When I saw The Rosebuds play the Jerry Perry benefit last December, I mentioned to Jim Rivas that I had filmed them back in 1990. So, at his request, here is The Rosebuds from the glorious Candlerock lounge. I can’t believe this place is still open- it was dying back in 1990!
The lighting was pretty uneven, so I tried to enhance it a bit by brightening and increasing exposure. You can now see the right hand side of the stage a bit.
The Rosebuds have always been one of my favorite Sacramento bands, and their performance at Jerry’s benefit was special. I can’t wait for everyone to see it!

The Boon- Candlerock Lounge, Sacramento Ca. 8/18/90 xfer from master tape enhanced

Here is The Boon’s set from that same show as The Rosebuds. The Boon were John Conley & Mike Yoas from Desario, Scott Wagner and I think the drummer’s name was Mike?
Anyway, this is the longest Boon set I saw, and we saw quite a few shows back then. My tripod was broken, so when it rested it looked like the band was playing uphill. I tried to fix that with Adobe, but you can still see the camera flopping around.
