So I got back in touch with Bobby Whitright a couple of days ago and he was looking for a specific Redrum show. Since I was listening to this one, I decided to post it as well. Taped from the soundboard on a high bias cassette. Club Me became the Cattle Club shortly after this show. Great covers of Misfits and Iron Maiden toward the end of the set. The mix settles down and while it is imperfect, it ain’t bad.

Here’s a fun one that is vastly improved with all of the enhancements. This might have been the last time I saw Redrum with the Bobby and Jeff lineup. Show stops about halfway through so Vonni can have a bathroom break… and I follow him into the bathroom for a quick interview. What was I thinking?
We tried to enhance the board tape to bring up guitars, but Jeff’s bass is at the same frequency as the guitar so when I boost guitar, I get an annoying bass “pluck” which is unlistenable at the end. So, you get the raw board tape. It’s not too bad.

I heard Vomit Launch for the first time, opening a Stewart Katz show- it may have been a 7 seconds show in late 1986 and I liked them immediately. I think that this was their first Sacramento appearance after I bought my camera- back in the Clint/Jeff O’Toole/Greg Dean promoter gap between Stewart and Brian & Jerry.
I took my master and brightened it and de-noised it, then added “Anonymous”‘s audio, courtesy of an Aiwa handheld recorder with stock mic? Or it may have been a Sony ECM909 at this point. Anyway, it sounded better than my stock mic.

I saw Bliss open up that drunken AVM show in August of 1988 and was hooked immediately- they were reminiscent of the more obscure SST stuff like Abecedarians, Always August, etc. Brandon even had the Greg Ginn style clear plexi guitar!
Me and “Anonymous” went to Club Me (pre cattle club) to check Bliss and Vomit Launch out. We got the OK to do a soundboard.
My friend Sam (Thehappyone on youtube) did the audio synch on these. It is not easy to synch multiple analog sources. Thank you.

Man, I could have sworn that this was a Cattle Club show, but I guess not. This was kind of a funny story- I always asked permission from the bands to film back then. At this show, I had gotten to know the promoter pretty well so he goes up to Joey introduces me and kind of “tells” him that I am videotaping. Joey had this “who the hell is this kid” look on his face. Classic!

The Mimes had Scott Capizzano on drums, and a bunch of other guys I don’t know. 🙂 Scott, can you please let us know who was in the band in late 1988? Filmed at Club Me, which would become Cattle Club. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 camera and Sony ECM909 mic.

This was the first of 6 or 7 fIREHOSE shows I filmed. The venue was called “Club Obsession”, then “Club Me”, then finally Cattle Club during the glory years. This was before Jerry and Brian’s time, a guy named Clint booked the show. Filmed with an Aiwa CV80 and stock mic. A little dark but not too bad.

Here’s another new post of an old show. The original audio of this video is complete garbage, the high end distrotion on the audio track made it unlistenable. We have taken Anonymous’ better audio and remixed/synched it with the enhanced video. Massive improvement. I think that this is fIREHOSE’s first appearance in Sacramento. At least, it was the first one I knew about.
