Here is an unexpected one for today’s On This Date in History. I usually take pride in bringing the highest quality audio and video possible. Many of you know the story- I bought the best gear possible to do this once. But every once in a while, you’ve gotta slum it I guess.

This has a date of 9/8/85 on my tape list, but C.O.C. played CBGB on that date. So either the date is wrong on Jim Utz’ tape or this is actually from CBGB. The band asks if anyone is actually from Flint, so I assume that the (vague) location is correct and the date is wrong.

But the quality is total trash. It’s a slightly better listen than it is a watch.

The only reason I posted it is because it seems to not be available anywhere online. If anyone can point me to a better version of this out there, I have another OTD that I can put up in its place.
