Green Day- Davis Community Center, Davis Ca 6/2/89 xfer from master incomplete brightened

Here is one for Scott Torguson and Danny Ensele. I asked Jim McLain to brighten my operation ivy last show master, and there happened to be a bit of the Green Day show on there as well, so he did it too! I should have asked him to do both, he does amazing work. Check out his youtube channel if you can. So, I went to this show after seeing Green Day play at Gilman on 5/28. I fell in love with them immediately so I went to this Davis show. This video would have looked GREAT but they turned the lights out right before they played. D’oh. I talked to Billie Joe about this video at the Monsula show last year- he not only knew about the video, he said he watched it and that there is an unreleased song on it called “xxx” (I can’t remember, shit). I thought that was really cool that he knew of the video. I’ll post the complete non-brightened version next.

Green Day- Davis Community Center, Davis Ca. 6/2/89 xfer from 8mm master enhanced LIVE

OK, here is the last one for today. I did my best with this one but it looks like bad surveillance video. They turned the lights off so the band only had lighting from behind them. In past versions of the video, you can’t see the guitar at all. I cranked the shadow fill effect in adobe premiere and de-noised the video as much as I could with the neat plugin. I hope you like it. If not, the original version is on sacramentomusicarchive.com as well.

Sweet Children- Complete Demo 1988 xfer from low gen audio cassette pre- Green Day HBD Billie Joe

Today is Billie Joe Armstrong’s birthday, so let’s pull something extra special out of Arica Pelino’s suitcase of gold here.
Some tracks from this have been out on youtube for some time, and I thought I saw the complete thing somewhere but I can’t find it now. Regardless, this is the first time that this has been transferred with the Nak Dragon and the capture chain over here. Wow, it sounds really good. This is on a normal bias tape so I didn’t have high expectations, but it sounds excellent!
Track list is in the image – just the Sweet Children demo in the upper left there.
Highlight for me is during the end of the instrumental- it just cuts off and Billie Joe recorded over the end on this tape and says Never Mind. LOL.

Recorded by: 924 Gilman (not sure which engineer- Radley? Marshall?)

Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
