Here is the Final Conflict set from Friday night. Ron said that he was worried that his voice was shot before they played, but he sounded fine.

Here is yet another newly edited multicam from Den of Sin. It was nice to talk to Ron before the show- I had filmed/audiotaped a huge show at the Observatory back in 2014 that they played. He told me that was Drew from Crucifix’ last appearance ever, when he performed with 1984 that night. Lucky to have captured that one.
Anyway, here they are at Den of Sin from last October. Good show, not enough people showed up.

I wish it wasn’t such a pain to video at The Observatory. It is designed for a killer video shoot- Multi levels and great sight lines, plus their board tapes sound outstanding. Oh well, at least I got to do this one. Very thankful to Chris from Side Effects for the video pass.
Even though this is only 2 cameras, it mixes well since Ryan was right up by the stage and I was filming from the 1st or 2nd level.

As discussed yesterday, here is the Final Conflict set from Gilman. This one looks a little darker than the Half Off, it just might be due to Ron wearing a black shirt making it seem that way.
here’s what I wrote yesterday about this show:
Wayne Vanderkuil, our long-time friend and contributor to the archive, sent a box over with a few VHS tapes earlier this week. One of them had this show- I have had this on VHS since the late 80s, but this copy is way cleaner. We think it is off of a 1st gen copy, but not 100% sure so we’ll call it “low gen” for now.
I am surprised that I don’t have the soundboard tapes from this show. It seemed that every Gilman show was taped back then… (edit- there are board tapes in Wayne’s collection, so we’ll probably repost this once we get to those tapes… and if the mix is decent)
This video was super dark- I think it was filmed with one of those external cameras cabled into a portable VCR- when people move, they look see through. EARLY home video tech. I was able to improve it quite a bit with Adobe and Neat Video. Thanks Wayne!

This is another James R Edmonds creation- at times, he would borrow a microphone from the soundman and do an audience recording with the mic lined into a boombox. That’s the case with this one. Sounds pretty decent- it clearly has more clean low end than a typical 80s punk rock audience recording.

This is one of the better Final Conflict sets I have heard. They were opening for “Grave New World” era discharge, and they were not only bagging on them, but also the venue and anything else came to mind. Funny, entertaining show.

As I promised (or threatened, whichever is the case for you), here is the complete Final Conflict set. The video only has about 15min of real footage & soundboard audio, but the band played for 45min. Here is the complete set, audio only. This is worth the listen for the between song banter alone.
