It’s Not What You Think- Sacto Active Rock, Sacramento Community Cable 1/15/91 xfer f/Umatic Master

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.

Identity Crysis- Community Cable Live in Studio 1988 xfer f/1st gen VHS off band archive tape Banger

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.
