Econochrist & Born Against- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 2/19/93 xfer from master soundboard cassette tape

I had planned on posting a melvins show today, but I couldn’t figure out my own damned tape. I’ll post it soon- it’s pretty cool.
Here is another Radley Gilman show. This one also confused me- the file was supposed to be Born Against and Econochrist.. but the other file sounded like album tracks. Maybe the Born Against is just THAT good- who knows… or maybe that was really album tracks and this is both bands. I had no time to sort it out. Sorry.

Update: Thanks to youtube commenter Troy Malish, Born Against starts at the 31:58 mark of this post. I wonder what the heck that other stuff on Radley’s CD was.

Recorded by: Radley Hirsch
Equipment used: Unknown tape deck into Pro tascam CD recorder

Econochrist- McGregor’s, Elmhurst Il. 8/9/92 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape Live East Bay Punk

Here’s the next one in the series of VHS tapes that I digitized for Corbett and Dan, for the East Bay Punk doc. Here is Econochrist from McGregor’s. I was able to enhance this and remove the grain without making it look like you are in a dream, which is rare for a copied VHS tape. As with all of the McGregor’s shows, I hope to re-digitize them and see if I can use the canopus box to bring that exposure down a bit.

From the collection of Jason Ross

Econochrist- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 10/6/89 xfer from Soundboard Audio Cassette East Bay Punk

You are going to get an assortment of East Bay punk bands this week, thanks to Todd Pritchard. Today’s post comes from Jason Ross’ collection. The mix wasn’t perfect on this one, so I popped it into Izotope and rebalanced it, and removed as much hiss as I could without making it sound weird.
