Government Issue- Graystone, Detroit Mi. 9/13/86 lossless xfer from master beta tape enhanced

Here is another one from the Russ Gibb archive. I bought a hi-band super beta machine from Japan to play these (and other tapes) back. I start with this tape and the machine dies after playing the tape. The tape is stuck in the unit and this is all I have to show for it. Shout out to the Ebay seller for taking care of the problem. I just received the same model (US version) yesterday, so the beta transfer party will continue.
Anyway, this is just amazing footage of GI. The only downside is that they played so loud, you can’t hear Stabb’s vocals from the stage. The cameraman moves to the back of the room at the end of the set and it sounds much better. They keep losing power to the stage as well. Typical punk show.

Inside Out- Graystone, Detroit Mi 9/13/86 xfer from master beta tape Enhanced Russ Gibb Archive

This was also on the Government Issue tape. I was hoping that this was Zack De La Rocha from Rage Against the Machine’s early hardcore band. I was wondering if they made it out to Detroit… alas, this is not that Inside Out. Here’s what Discogs has to say about this Inside Out band:
“Inside Out (Detroit USA) are an all-female power trio who formed in 1985, and specialised in a brand of hardcore punk / grunge / psychedelia in the vein of female grunge bands such as Babes in Toyland and L7. They released a number of singles in the period 1990 – 93, along with 2 LPs. The singles were on Meantime Records, Icon Records and Anti-Music Records. The LPs were both released by Meantime Records. The band also recorded a Peel Session for Radio 1 DJ John Peel.”

The Misfits and Necros-Community Cable Commercial Last Show Graystone Detriot 10/29/83 Umatic Master

This one is from Russ Gibb’s collection. I got this one off Ebay years ago and now that the good umatic machine has been repaired, it finally gets a proper transfer. This is a 30 second commercial for the last Misfits show ever, taken right off the original TV production master tape.

GLENN AND HIS COPYRIGHT MINIONS- PLEASE READ:
I know that you guys like to give out takedown notices and copyright strikes, but please hear me out on this one. This video is ineligible for me to monetize- Glenn is getting EVERY PENNY of streaming revenue from this. It also doesn’t show this Misfits performing at all- there is nothing to hate about this. I paid over $30 for this tape and I am getting nothing for it, so think of this as my gift to you. Don’t throw away my gift. OK? Thanks.
