Green Day- Silver Dollar Club, Phoenix Az 9/4/91 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape lookout records punk

Well apparently today is the 33rd anniversary of Kerplunk’s release. Our pals at Green Day Brasil (instagram) asked for something close to the release date to commemorate this occasion, so I found this tape in Arica’s suitcase. From the look of the actual tape, it didn’t look like one that Arica filmed… but it still looks very good. I’m estimating a 1st gen VHS- I bet that Arica will confirm or correct me when she checks in from her world travels.

This means that Tour Doug Tuesday returns next week- sorry metalheads

I checked on youtube and elsewhere and this does not seem to be out there. According to GD Brasil, this is the earliest documented recording of Dominated Love Slave.

Green Day- Cybelle’s Pizza, El Cerrito Ca 6/29/91 lossless xfer from master VHS tape Enhanced

As promised, here is the last of the “4 day video weekend”. This one comes from Rodney Parker’s master tape and is one of the most improved videos that I was able to do- thanks Rodney! Check out his channel @BayAreaPunkShows for more great stuff!
Cybelle’s lighting was close to non-existent so the early ’90s video camera didn’t pick up much… but thanks to a clean transfer and lighting adjustments/denoise in Adobe Premiere, it looks alright. Sounds good as well. Now if people would just get out of the way, it would be perfect!

Green Day- Rodney Parker’s, 1893 Sagewood Ct, Concord Ca 6/16/91 xfer from master VHS tape enhanced

OK, my “on this day in history” post is taking forever to process, so let’s do this one first today.
I met up with Rodney Parker a few months back and he let me borrow his collection of VHS and 8mm master tapes. He filmed this one back in 1991 when the band played his graduation party and he posted the raw footage to his great bay area punk shows youtube channel about 12 years ago. The video was very dark as the sun set and you could not see the band well after the first few minutes. I tried to enhanced it in Adobe premiere and it didn’t help much… and then I remembered that virtualdub has the ability to adjust brightness and contrast at the source, so that’s what I did. I cranked up the brighgtness, adjusted contrast for the last 11min of the capture and then did the work in adobe. You can actually see them playing now! Sure, it looks like 1980s night vision security footage, but still, you can actually see them.

Green Day- Paradise Lounge, San Francisco 5/7/91 transfer from master audio tape

Yes folks, this one is actually the Paradise Lounge show. I posted a show a few weeks back that claimed to be a Green Day Paradise Lounge show, but it was actually Gilman 5/3/91. We have also confirmed that Arica recorded these- they sound just like a Ben Harper one that she tapes years later.

The vocals were buried on this and there was a really annoying bass rumble so I EQ’d the bass rumble out, then rebalance in Izotope to make vocals audible.

Green Day- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 5/3/91 Lossless xfer f/ Rodney Parker’s VHS Tape Enhanced Lookout

A few months ago, I posted this video from Arica Pelino’s collection. At the time, we had thought that Arica had filmed this video but Rodney Parker let us know that he was actually the filmer. A while later, Rodney kindly loaned me his tapes and I was able to do a fresh transfer of his VHS master tape. So this one should be a little bit better quality than the version on his (great) bay area punk shows youtube channel. You should check out his channel- he has a ton of awesome videos including a bunch from the past 10-15 years that are really cool.

Green Day- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 5/3/91 xfer from VHS Master tape enhanced Arica Pelino Collection

Here is a special surprise post for a Wednesday. Arica has asked for this one to be shared this week- it is a show that she filmed at Gilman in 1991. She then handed off a suitcase packed with tapes (including this one) to me a few months ago for digitizing. This has been posted on youtube before- Rodney over at Bay Area Punk shows posted this set 12 years ago, but not in this resolution. EDIT- Rodney filmed this one, not Arica. Sorry Rodney!
HUGE thanks to Arica for sharing her collection with us. There is a lot more to come!

Green Day- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 5/3/91 transfer from master audio tape Better audio source

Here’s something to brighten your Monday! I really enjoy putting up old, uncirculated Green Day stuff. This is from Arica Pelino’s collection.

We are not sure who taped this one. Arica might have/probably did. Check out that bill- GD, Fifteen and Sacramento’s Kai Kln. Holy crap.

It’s a decent non-pro walkman recording.

EDIT: This is from 924 Gilman on 5/3/91, Paradise Lounge is coming soon! (it was on the other side of the tape)

Green Day- Santa Rosa High School 1991 Transfer from Low Gen VHS Tape Lookout Records Billie Joe

NEW COLLECTION. That’s right, new collection. Gabe Meline has been a supporter of the archive for years, so I considered it an honor when he asked me to digitize video for the Sonoma County Museum’s “Disturbing the Peace” exhibit. That exhibit is now done in its physical form, so we can start posting stuff here. Thanks Gabe!

This video was one of my favorite ones in the exhibit- there was a ton of great stuff, but this one was really cool. 2 students used as mic stands! Decent audio! What’s not to like?

Sweet Children / Green Day- Billie Joe’s tape to Arica Demo and 7″ Sessions tape complete

It’s a late for the collections post today. Sorry Arica!
When I posted the Sweet Children demo last month, people chimed in and wanted to hear the entire tape that Billie Joe gave to Arica, so here you go. Check out “Words I Might Have Ate” from the 1,000 hours session. There is awesome stuff throughout this tape. Enjoy!
