7 Seconds- White Oak Music Hall, Houston Tx 9/3/22 4K UHD Multicamera with Matrix Audio Hardcore

TLDR: Guitar comes in soon- give it a minute!
Wow, I am kinda shocked as to how well this one came out. Like I mentioned in other posts, EVERYTHING went wrong on this one. Getting to Houston was a nightmare- there was a monsoon-like storm and there was no visibility on the freeway. I get there late during soundcheck and the venue is very nice– the nicest one of the tour and the staff was nice. I lost my camera pole mount in either Dallas or San Antonio and did not realize it until I looked in my bag to use it here. So, I tried strapping the monopod to a post with bungee cords which caused too much vibration to use.
Then, early in the set, my gopro on Bobby freezes up. That has never happened before. So, this 4 camera video changes to 3. That issue caused me to panic-buy another gopro in Austin and relegate this one to backup status. Plus, my GH5S camerawork is super shaky because I was holding it by hand and my bionically repaired right shoulder was not having it.
So, like I said, it has no business being this good. Thanks to Agelos (Tromster) for saving the day.

Negative Approach- White Oak Music Hall, Houston Tx. 9/3/22 4K UHD Multicam with Soundboard Audio

This is the last Negative Approach show to post from the September Texas tour, and the last one from the ill-fated White Oak Music Hall show… but this was definitely the best video of the night. We were able to use the G50 “monopod strapped to a pole” goofy setup that I improvised, at least. That angle was still lousy- loses focus and vibrates a little but still gives some decent shots… sometimes.
Forward to 2min if you don’t want to hear the “Popcorn” theme that NA used as intro music to each show. That was my cue to get my ass in gear, btw.

Circle Jerks- White Oak Music Hall, Houston Tx 9/3/22 Audio Only DPA4061 Mics

Oh man, work is getting like it was a couple years ago- 8.5 hours of meetings today- 5 hours down so far. It’s going to make these daily posts challenging… and of course, when I need to create posts as quickly as possible, Youtube decides to stop processing my audio posts. After having this one bonk out about 5 times, I finally had to do it the old/hard way. I guess I’ll be working with YT tech support soon.
Anyway, here is the audio from the Circle Jerks Houston show. Video was not allowed, so I went ahead and used the ol’ DPA mics to get this one. This was the nicest venue of the tour and a sharp contrast from the (awesome) warehouse style San Antonio club. Meh, give me $7 beers and roll up doors over this fancy place and $15 beers. Anyway, it sounds pretty good because of the pristine sound system. I guess there are some benefits from going to a nice venue…

Slobberbone- Rudyard’s, Houston Tx 6/1/02 xfer from DAT Clone Soundboard Complete Brent Best

Here’s that other Patreon Voter’s Choice I had promised earlier. This one sounds really nice. Thanks to Marcus Winfree for taping it. At the time, I didn’t really think about how much he had to travel within Texas to see these shows. I realized it when I was following 7 seconds around texas in 2022!

Speaking of Patreon, this is last call to sign up before the prize drawing takes place this evening, and the new ballot goes up. This week’s theme- Lookout Records!

Old 97s- Fitzgerald’s, Houston Tx 7/4/97 xfer from Hi8 master Enhanced 97’s Rhett Miller Americana

Well shoot, I have not posted this late for a while. I hope this one still gets noticed because it is PEAK Old 97s. I loved that 1997 tour, it was so much fun. This one come from Neil Werries collection, shot by NH. Neil shot an angle at the back of the venue.
We COULD make this a multicam along with 3 or 4 of Neil’s other videos, if you can help us time stretch/match the angles. The problem with old analog gear is that they tend to drift apart from each other as the show progresses. If you are good at aligning audio to video, you can really help. Please reach out via the website or (my name) at hotmail.com. Last time I tried this, I got hacked and my old fb account was disabled. Let’s hope it goes better this time. Please reach out- we could use your help.
Here is the list of analog multicams that need alignment:
old 97s barleypalooza 6/1/97
Gourds barleypalooza 6/1/97 (one angle is already up on the channel)
Old 97s- fitzgeralds 7/4/97 (2 angles)
Silos- lexington ky 7/26/97
Silos- Louisville Ky 7/25/97
I think that’s all of them.

7 Seconds- Fitzgerald’s, Houston Tx. 9/27/91 xfer from 4th gen VHS tape punk hardcore

Here’s another one from the old 1980/90s VHS collection. Usually when you trade for a 4th gen VHS tape, you would expect pure garbage quality.. but this one isn’t that bad. The camera guy did a good job with the closeups and it sounds good as well. It’s watchable.
And look at that hair! Well done, Kevin! 🙂

Jane’s Addiction- Numbers, Houston Tx. 1/14/89 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape On This Day

Alrighty, here is the next “on this day” post. Yesterday’s was odd- either nobody cared about it, or it was buried in FB’s algorithm.. and then a bunch of fake fb profiles liked it. So, er, thanks to “grace grace”, “Lucy Lucy”, “Sally Sally” and the other 78 bots who liked the post along with the 3 real people. Man, that was weird. Let’s hope that this one goes better.
This one comes from my good friend Jim Utz- we started trading tapes in 1986 and have been friends ever since. We both used to trade with a guy name Mike Elias(I think that is his name). He was a personality- very funny guy. He would bootleg shows in small to midsize venues and then get super indignant when he would get busted. I still remember him writing me and calling some band “ess holes”. The joys of tape trading. Mike filmed this one.
Camera work is shaky, but it sounds decent and it is way better quality than the other one on YT at this time.

D.R.I.- Numbers or Axiom,Houston Tx 10/30/88 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Complete Dirty Rotten Imbeciles

I have mentioned Mike Elias(sp?) before- he is/was a character who we traded videos with- he used to blatantly film bands without permission- and if he got caught/shut down, he would write me “those guys are essholes”(he would send me letters with these grievances). He definitely had a unique approach. If anyone knows where he is now, please let me know.

I have found 3 different references regarding the venue for this show- Mike’s info and newspapers dot com show it as a venue called numbers. metallipromo has a hand written flyer that shows Axiom. I am going with Numbers.

Jim Utz and I both traded tapes with Mike, and this one comes from Jim’s collection. Clearly audience shot with a bunch of heads in the way. At least it sounds good.

Jane’s Addiction- Club Xcess, Houston Tx. 10/11/88 xfer from 1st gen VHS Tape Perry Farrell Complete

This video is similar to the one I posted 9 months ago for one of the very first “On This Date” posts I made. It’s a Janes Addiction show from Houston, comes from Jim Utz’ collection and was filmed by Mike Elias(sp?). It’s odd that Janes would play 2 shows 3 months apart in Houston, but I guess that’s how it rolls when you are blowing up in popularity and you get to open for Iggy Pop.
