Circle Jerks- Granada Theater, Dallas Tx. 9/1/22 4K UHD Multicam with SB Matrix audio

Aw, I failed on my promise for an all-Jess video weekend. There is 1 more Slobberbone video that I shot that will be posted as soon as we get it finished up. Sorry.
Here is the only Circle Jerks video that I was able to shoot during my week-long tour of texas with them, 7 Seconds and Negative Approach. Huge thanks to Dmitri Coats for permission. As usual, things went wrong. The audio is not great- this is the same equipment that gave us the killer Mohawk Austin audio soundtrack, but this was an large older theater and the sound was decent in the room, but not great. Big thanks to Jim McLain for making it sound as good as possible.
Also, I did not realize that the drums were going to be wheeled closer to the front of the stage. I set up my gopro early and got out of there, then the drums moved. So, no gopro camera.
Overall, it still turned out pretty decent. Another huge thanks to Jack Pier- if it wasn’t for his angle on the balcony, we would have been toast. My tripod encountered a ton of vibration.

Negative Approach- Granada Theater, Dallas Tx. 9/1/22 4K UHD with SB Matrix audio full show

The first night of the 7 Seconds/Circle Jerks tour was a tough one to shoot. I mentioned on the Circle Jerks post that the venue was very old and the sound was not great- very boomy and the board mix was brickwalled.. nothing sounded good. Camera angles had vibration issues. Ugh.
So that’s why this Negative Approach is only 1 camera. Both balcony angles (Jack Pier’s and mine) suffered from vibration issues. The only one that was salvageable was my GH5S angle. So, if you wonder why I stay zoomed in on the drummer, or on John for too long, it was because this was supposed to be the closeup/isolation angle out of 3.

7 Seconds- Granada Theater, Dallas Tx. 9/1/22 4K UHD Multicam with SB Matrix audio

Aww, here is the very last video to post from that Texas tour in September. That was a lot of driving, but a lot of fun as well. I still have a few audio only recordings to share from that run, but this is it for video.
Like I mentioned before, this was a tough room- it was an old theater with pretty rough sound, plus the balcony vibrated so badly that one of my angles was useless. Huge thanks to Jack Pier for the camera help or I would have been toast. This one turned out a lot better than the Circle Jerks’ set, especially audio.

Slobberbone- Barley House, Dallas Tx 12/31/02 Set 1 DAT Master Soundboard Clone rebalanced R.I.P. Jess Barr

Jess Barr, Slobberbone guitarist, passed away Monday night at the age of 46. To say that this is devastating doesn’t seem to be enough.
I got to see Slobberbone play w/Jess 7 times from 2000-2003- in Berkeley, Sacramento and Chico. If they came within 2 hours of Sacramento, I was there. I even got to help bring them to Sacramento (thanks to Chalres Twilling) a couple of times. He was a force on the guitar and was a great showman- he even endured the beat to hell banjo that he would need to play every night.
After Jess left slobberbone, I did not hear much about him. I know that he opened up a bar and had a family, but not much more than that. It was comforting knowing that such a great talented guy seemed to be doing what he wanted, on his terms. It is such a shock to lose him so young.
I wanted to get a video ready today, but it isn’t cooperating so I’ll pull from the 71(!) live audio concerts I have. Let’s make this Jess week- I’ll post a week of slobberbone and Drams stuff in honor of the man.

Slobberbone- Barley House, Dallas Tx 12/31/02 Set 2 DAT Master Soundboard Clone rebalanced RIP Jess

In tape nerd circles, they sometimes do a thing called a flood, where people post a bunch of stuff by 1 artist in honor of them. I don’t have the bandwidth to do a flood, but it will be a more of a light shower, with (hopefully) more than 1 post per day. I’ll do as many as I can in this week.

Here is the late set of the show I posted yesterday. I had planned to post both of these together but the mix on this one changes so much that I could not use the same settings. The guitar gets REAL loud for the 2nd half of the set. I tried to adjust it so you could hear guitar for the 1st 25min but also hear anything other than guitar for the last 25.

Really cool set with a bunch of covers- I just randomly clicked in to make sure the upload worked and they were doing The Long Ryders’ “Looking for Lewis and Clark”. Wow.

Old 97s- KTCK-AM, Dallas Tx 6/27/00 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette 97’s alt.country

Here is a crazy one- Old 97s make an appearance on a sports talk radio station. The radio hosts clearly are not accustomed to hosting musicians, or maybe their demeanor is always this abrasive.. but it is an entertaining listen.
Interview and 3 songs in studio: Lonely Holiday, Jagged and Crash on the Barrelhead.

Murry Hammond- KNON, Dallas Tx 6/00 Interview and Live in Studio xfer from 1st gen cassette Old 97’s

Sorry for the late post. Given the storm and its aftermath, I am pretty sure that nobody in Sac was missing the post for today anyway. Since it is so late, you get a short audio post. Murry is the secret weapon of the Old 97’s. Looking forward to seeing them in a few months in Chico and Roseville.
I have another really cool Murry related post ready, but I wanted to ask him if it is was ok to post… and I can’t find his email. Murry, please message/email me if you see this- thanks!

I tried de-static’ing in Izotope and it made it sound weird.

Mazzy Star- Trees, Dallas Tx 3/9/94 Live Audience Recording xfer from DAT Master Clone

Cramps- Dallas, Tx. 2/5/92 Unknown gen VHS xfer Live full show

Sorry about the quality on this one. I wouldn’t normally post something like this, but it was requested from someone (I won’t name them) and I had no time to pretty anything up today.
Here’s why he requested it:
“I was at that show and tripping hard on acid. I remember it as a fantastic show. I’d like to confirm that.”
So, please report back and let us know.
From Jason Ross’ collection

Cause for Alarm- Rock Against Reagan, Republican National Convention, Dallas Tx 8/2x/84 Soundboard

It’s mediocre Monday! Everyone is asking tons of questions today, making this day truly meh.
Here is another interesting one from Barry Ward’s collection of tapes, and they appear to be somewhat uncirculated (not on youtube at least).
The first one from this tape is Cause for Alarm, playing Rock Against Reagan. It also contains the spoken word/MC’ing of Stoney Burke. Really cool stuff and only mediocre due to the lack of high end, distortion and hiss.
