Here’s one that was on my youtube channel, but somehow did not get posted here.
Two of the people who helped to start Sacramento’s punk/alternative scene held a discussion at Artstreet last year.

I usually post Video on weekends but I had a busy day, so you get this. The audio quality isn’t great, but I think I was at this show and I know that a lot of my friends were there too. The quality gets really awful about 15min in, but then it improves for the rest of the show.

In remembrance of Reed Mullin, I’ll be posting a few C.O.C. shows over the next few days. The first one is one that I know Jeff Arellano (Gus Buss) will be happy to see- he proclaimed this show to be the best C.O.C. show ever.
I usually have good lineage info on Sacramento recordings, but this one is a bit of a mystery. It does not appear to be one of the tapes I got from Mark Martin’s collection. It looks like I might have traded with someone outside of sacramento for it… but there is very little tape hiss. Odd.

Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon, Audiophile 2496 card, Reaper, Sony Sound Forge for normalization and bass boost (yes, it was even less bassy than this).

Verbal Assault is coming to Sacramento for the first time since 1986! I saw that they had reunited a while back, but I didn’t think they would ever make it back here. Huge props to Scott Torguson (and Chris Lemos of course) for making it happen.
Here is a mediocre recording of their last time playing here, opening for 7 Seconds on a stacked bill. Stew could book those awesome lineups.
PS: There are 2 versions of this flyer. I have an actual poster of the other version, autographed by 7 Seconds… but I can’t find my 11×17 poster folio right now. D’oh!
