Jawbreaker- McGregors, Elmhurst Il 8/23/93 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape Live East Bay Punk

I was finally organizing about 500 discs on random spindles into some semblance of order, and I came across these. I digitizied a ton of stuff for Corbett and the East Bay Punk documentary, and I kept the raw files for these ones. These come from Jason Ross’ collection of great tapes that he sent me a few years back.
This tape (as with most mcgregor’s tapes) is super overexposed. Now that I know how to adjust it with the Canopus, I will need to re-transfer this sometime in the future.
I’ll be posting east bay punk/gilman/lookout related artists all week!

Samiam- McGregor’s, Elmhurst Il 11/4/92 Live xfer from 2nd gen VHS East Bay Punk Turn it Around

I took the weekend off from posting. I had posted something every day for what felt like an eternity. I figured no one would be paying attention since everyone was watching election results, speeches and the like.
Here is the last one (for now) from the VHS tapes that I digitized for the Turn it Around documentary. This is another one that Bob & Mike Byrne shot.. and some good news – it looks like we will be able to transfer the masters and clean up these (and many others) soon! Regardless of where they are posted on youtube, I will link them to the Sacramentomusicarchive website, so be sure to follow the site for updates.

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.

Capitalist Casualties- Macgregor’s, Elmhurst Il 7/26/92 transfer f/1st gen VHS tape Sonoma County Pu

Aw man, late post. This one is from Jason Ross’ collection and filmed by the Byrne brothers most likely. I picked this one because I recently digitized a video of this band at a house party in Sonoma County for the “Distrubing the Peace” exhibit at the Sonoma County Museum in Santa Rosa. this band’s intensity is off the charts. The exhibit runs until mid-August. I really need to get there one more time.

Monsula- McGregors, Elmhurst Il. 7/1/92 Live East Bay Punk Green Day Pinhead Gunpowder

Here’s today’s video- it’s another one that I digitized years ago for the Turn it Around documentary. I never really paid much attention to Monsula, but I finally gave them a good listen during The Lookouting run of shows and finally appreciated their greatness. Such a great underappreciated band.
