D.R.I.- Ventura Theater, Ventura Ca 1/16/11 xfer from MiniDV Master w/Interview R.I.P. Josh Parten

I met Josh Parten back in 2014 when I filmed his band (Mass Terror), opening for English Dogs at Gilman. He used to film shows way back so we became fast friends. It was a shock to hear of his passing. He sent me a box of about 30 DV master tapes in 2015 which I digitized for him. I just looked this one up and it doesn’t look like he posted it. I will add Josh to the Collections rotation and post all of the videos he sent me. He actually contacted me later and we talked about doing more of his tapes but it never happened.
This one includes Josh interviewing 2 members including Harald O.

D.R.I.- Chain Reaction, Anaheim Ca 9/25/10 xfer f/master DV tape complete show DRI Dirty Rotten Imbe

I am late on everything today. We are grabbing another one from Josh Parten’s master tapes for today’s on this date in history. This time, it’s DRI from Anaheim in 2010.
I checked online and it looks like there are 2 other angles of this show, including one from my old pal Ryan from Vulture Video. It might make sense to do a multicamera someday.

D.R.I.- House of Blues, Hollywood Ca 12/20/09 transfer from master DV tape Dirty Rotten Imbeciles

Here’s another one from the DV Masters that Josh Parten sent to me about 10 years ago. Man, the audio on this one is ROUGH. If anyone has a lead on better audio, let me know. It might be worth a sync job.

D.R.I.- Ramona Mainstage, Ramona Ca 12/18/09 xfer f/DV Master Tape DRI Dirty Rotten Imbeciles Full

I am pretty sure that this is from Josh Parten’s collection (R.I.P.). I had it on my list as a Vulture Video master, but 1. Ryan didn’t post it on his channel, and he usually posts his masters and 2. The audio is distorted in the same way that many of Josh’s videos are, and 3. it is in 480p. Hopefully someone can help confirm that.

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles- Cactus Club, San Jose Ca 3/24/01 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape Complete Show

For today’s On This Day in History, I pulled this one off of a DVD that I received in a trade. I don’t know who filmed the show, and I can’t remember who I got it from. Looks like “Anarchy Video” is at the end of the video. Funny thing is that the interview at the end of this video is on youtube, but the live set isn’t.
Posting this now, and then something completely opposite of this later today. It’s a “choose your adventure” monday.

D.R.I.- Numbers or Axiom,Houston Tx 10/30/88 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Complete Dirty Rotten Imbeciles

I have mentioned Mike Elias(sp?) before- he is/was a character who we traded videos with- he used to blatantly film bands without permission- and if he got caught/shut down, he would write me “those guys are essholes”(he would send me letters with these grievances). He definitely had a unique approach. If anyone knows where he is now, please let me know.

I have found 3 different references regarding the venue for this show- Mike’s info and newspapers dot com show it as a venue called numbers. metallipromo has a hand written flyer that shows Axiom. I am going with Numbers.

Jim Utz and I both traded tapes with Mike, and this one comes from Jim’s collection. Clearly audience shot with a bunch of heads in the way. At least it sounds good.

Lots of good stuff on this one, including stuff from the Creamers (check it out RJ) and lookout records’ own Plaid Retina.

D.R.I.- The Farm, San Francisco Ca 10/25/86 xfer from master Soundboard cassette DRI Dirty Rotten

Late post today but it is a good one. This is from James R Edmonds’ master tape. The raw mix started out pretty good, but then guitar overpowered the mix- it was all you could hear. I did everything I could to bring up bass, vocals and drums in Izotope and it sounds pretty decent. This is peak D.R.I. — that 85-86 time frame was untouchable.

Rebalance in Izotope Rx8: Vocal +9, Bass and Drum +10, guitar -1. Yeah, it was that extreme.
