Doughboys- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 9/2/88 Xfer from 1st gen cassette soundboard Audio Only

The Doughboys were one of those bands who should have been bigger than they were. They eventually signed at a major label in 1992, then broke up in 1996.
This was another “hard” mix, meaning that guitar was in one channel and bass/drums/vocals were in the other. I remixed it to boost the bass/vocal track a bit and then did a reverse pan to make it sound a little more normal. Hope you like it. Mix finally settles down about 10 minutes in.

Here is the next one from Russ Gibb- I posted the ALL set last week, here is the Doughboys set. Who is that talking about a lawyer at the end of the set? Is that Smalley? Haha, talking about suing the video guy is VERY punk rock imho.
A little about these tapes: Russ Gibb was a legendary promoter from the Detroit area in the 1960’s/70’s- who did a ton of other things: TV Station manager, School teacher, Disc Jockey, etc. Check his wikipedia for more info (in comments).
Russ passed away in 2019 and someone on Ebay has been auctioning off a bunch of his archival items- show posters, demo tapes, etc. Some of the items that got me interested were these videos. These are beta master tapes with raw footage for the back porch video series/TV show?.
Man, these beta video cameras must have been NICE studio cameras for the quality to be this good for 1988.
I just bought a used high-end beta player from Japan that will arrive next month, so I will try to get a better capture of these.

I didn’t get the OK to post the other video I had planned for today, and Dean Crist asked for the Doughboys set after I posted All yesterday, so here it is. They were such a great band, it’s too bad that they didn’t seem to get the acclaim that many of their peers did.
