Todays’ On This Date in History is later than usual because I had my first MRI ever. What an ordeal- 3 hours at that place, laying on my stomach in a tube for 40min with my wrist out in front of me. Blah.
Anyway, this one comes from Jim Utz’ collection. He met a person (name forgotten) who videotaped a bunch of Sonic Youth’s 1995 shows. am not sure if a complete version exists- even Sonic Youth’s website shows the documentation as incomplete.

It’s time for a Patreon Voter’s Choice bonus post! The theme was “Pick a No List Digital Soundboard”. I used a random number generator to pick 5 things.. and then after I started the poll, I realized that these were ON the main list, not off list ones! Derp. So this coming week is the no list vote. Should be fun- I will add the link to Patreon in case anyone wants to see it.
After this show won the vote, I realized that a) it was a cassette master-digital(DAT then CDR) and b) it was already on youtube, but not nearly at this quality. So let’s proceed. I promise I’ll stop making mistakes someday.

We received a new collection recently from Anonymous 3. He is an old friend- in fact, he crashed the very first concert I held. I had a kegger party in the back yard of my Dad’s house off Mariposa Ave in 1983 or 84. Bodily Harm and Legion played. These older dudes(by a couple years)- one with some pretty cool hair came in after the bands stopped. That’s how I met Anonymous 3. We have been in contact on and off for the past 40 years. Here is the first tape I picked out. Raven Slaughter(person) was from Cleveland, then moved to Florida, back to Cleveland, to Los Angeles (which is when this demo was produced), back to Cleveland, then to Montreal. I can’t find any info on him after 2016, when he was supposed to play a show in Cleveland but was too weak from MS to make the trip. I’ll shamelessly tag Ken Dixon/Cleveland Live Music since his friends would probably appreciate this, and maybe fill us in on him post-2016. Tape seems to be a copy off the master, but quality is a bit lacking. Includes a few live songs recorded to 4 track.
