Sacramento friends should like this one. This has been online for years, but this is a much better looking and sounding version. It’s a lossless transfer right off of the TV Umatic Master tape, so it doesn’t get much better than this. The quality really kicks in at about 7 minutes.

Late start today. Here is one from Lizz Fisher’s Umatic Master tapes of her Sacto Active Rock show. This had to be one of the first ones she did. Ian Faith was constantly playing Sac in the late 80s and early 90s. They even might have been on the bill for the first Cattle Club show ever. Here is an upgraded version of the VHS one I posted a few years back. This one looks great and sounds even better. Glad I got to see the band back in 2019 at the Cattle Club 30th reunion show.

Here is the first out of 2 Kai Kln appearances on Sacto Active Rock in 1991. I posted the 2nd one a couple weeks back. That shows you how popular the band was at the time. They were THE BAND in Sacramento at the time- packing clubs, opening big shows. infectious energy around the band.
Thankfully, there is no caroling in this one. Just absolute ripping.

It’s time for another one of these upgraded Sacto Active Rock transfers. These have been posted before, but they were transfers off of a VHS tape. We are now making our way through all of the TV Station Umatic master tapes. Looks and sounds amazing!
This was the first episode of Sacto Active Rock. Features John Taylor on drums, before he joined Deftones I think. INWYT also played some of the first Cattle Club shows.

Collections time, and another one from Ken Doose’s box of videos. He got this VHS tape from the band, so it is most likely 1st or 2nd gen.
This one made me chuckle because there is almost no guitar in the studio mix. Even when playing for TV, Bill has his amp cranked to 11 (louder stage volume=lower board levels for the uninitiated). LOL, just kidding Bill. You owe me a text btw.
I don’t know which community cable this was filmed with- probably Roseville or Sacramento. Lighting was so dim that I had to bump up the brightness and exposure before denoising.
