I was planning on posting a video today, since it is Friday… but I am working through Eggplant’s latest box of tapes and this one is too good. Generator was a very short-lived band that Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong started prior to Rancid, and after Downfall ended. I don’t recall ever even hearing about any other generator tapes other than the 5/3/91 video that Rodney Parker filmed. This is amazing. 30 minutes long as well.

Last June, I posted a video of this show from Arica Pelino’s VHS tape. She thought that she taped it, so I labeled it as a master and posted away. A while after that, my old friend Rodney Parker let me know that he actually filmed the show! That led to us discussing/figuring out how we can get these tapes re-transferred with the lossless setup and that finally happened late last year.
So here is a very clean version of the Generator video. There is also a soundboard tape of a different Generator show on the website/channel if you want a better audio experience. Thanks Rodney for sharing the tapes!
