Barkmarket- Dragonfly, Los Angeles Ca 10/18/96 xfer from Hi8 master tape Enhanced

Youtube’s automatic thumbnail picking machine must be on the fritz today. The video is quite a bit better than the thumbnail. This is another one from Steve Rogers’ collection of Hi8 videos he shot in the 90s. I am not 100% sure of the year- the tape only said “barkmarket 10/18”. I assume it is 96 since that is when Steve videotaped a bunch of stuff, and 10/18/96 is a weekend day.

The Muffs- Dragonfly, Los Angeles Ca. 2/7/95 xfer from 8mm master tape pt 1

I lived in the L.A. area from 1992-1995. I had 2 good friends when I lived there- Todd Nakamine was one of them. We met at a Penelope Houston show at Bogart’s shortly after I loved there in 1992 or 93. We both filmed shows. In 1995, Todd’s camcorder died, so he would drive out from Redondo Beach (I think), pick up the TR-81, then go back and tape a show. He did this a few times- once for this show, once for a fem2fem in-store performance. That’s an hour round trip, that was dedication! Anyway, Todd was always trying to get me to see this band called The Muffs. I never did, and then years later they become one of my all-time favories. Glad I have the tape now. The audio is extremely distorted- sorry about that. They must have been loud.
