T.S.O.L. – Hoosier Ballroom, Indianapolis In 11/29/86 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Soundboard Audio

I had another video post planned for today and then I realized that I was overdue for one from Tony P/Phil Go’s collection, so I scrambled one together here.

This one is pretty nice, and all that exists on this tape from TSOL’s opening set for Red Hot Chili Peppers. The board mix is a bit high on vocals. I think I might do extra work on the RHCP and rebalance the board mix before posting that one.

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Hoosier Ballroom Indianapolis In 11/29/86 xfer f/1st gen VHS rebalanced audio

This video has been around a long time. Well circulated.. but I think this one might be the best version available. This comes from a lossless transfer of the VHS copy straight from Tony Philputt’s master tape. I pulled the audio track off the tape and rebalanced it- I boosted the bass way up plus touched up the guitar and vocals a little. Also brightened and adjusted contrast, degrained in adobe/neat video, then popped the new audio track in and processed it. Not bad.

It’s pretty wild that the band has 2 full shows documented 5 days apart, when they were at the top of the game. Thanks Tony.

Frightwig- Hoosier Ballroom, Indianapolis In 11/86 Transfer from master VHS tape Soundboard Audio

I waited until a lot of the election results were in before posting- I hope people will find time to check this out because it is amazing! This was the other Patreon Voter’s Choice that serves as Julie’s collections post this time around.
The board mix is pretty good- better than some of the others. It still might be worth a rebalance sometime in the future.

Let’s Active- Hoosier Ballroom 9/18/86 xfer from low gen VHS tape Mitch Easter

Here’s one from Phil Go/Tony Philputt’s collection that is already on YT but not in this quality. I think Tony’s tape is either a master or 1st gen VHS because it is super clean, but the audio was totally messed up through both shows on the tape I have. Luckily, the lesser quality show that is on YT had decent audio, so I ripped that, EQ’d out as much distortion as possible, and synched it with this video. That’s a LOT of work for the 100 or so views this will get, haha. It was worth the work.

It looks like there will be a parade of bonus posts for the next week or so. Some are Patreon thank-you’s, some are re-do’s of VHS transfers that had audio issues. This is the latter- Audio was totally blown out on this post from a couple weeks back, and my pluraleyes synch did not work. So here it is again with proper, in synch original audio.
