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.

I traded with this guy in Houston, and he was quite a character. I think his name is Mike Elias (Alias?), but my memory is fuzzy. He used to blatantly film bands without permission- and if he got shut down, he would write me “those guys are essholes”(his exact er, words). He definitely had a unique approach. 🙂 If anyone knows where he is now, please let me know. I lost a master tape and he is the only guy who I know, who has a 1st gen copy of something I really want back.
Anyway, I did not trade for this one- my good friend Jim Utz did, and this is from his collection.

Posting back-to-back today. This one is from Jason Ross’ collection. At this point, I am just grabbing handfuls of tapes from some of these collections and digitizing them and then checking online to see if it is out there. This one doesn’t seem to be online, so here ya go. I used to love this band in the late 80s.

It’s mediocre Monday! Here’s a request from Brian McKenna- he wanted to see a Big Boys video. Back in the 1980s, we would dub and trade VHS tapes back and forth with others across the country. Trading overseas was difficult due to different formats. So, after a tape would get copied and traded 3,4,5 times, it would look like THIS. Brian wanted a video where he could watch the Big Boys on a big screen TV. This is more like the Big Grainy Blobs, but I hope he (and others) like it. Posting on mediocre Monday due to mediocre quality.
I got this from a guy in Houston, so it might be relatively close to the source. The guy’s name is/was Mike Elias(sp?) and he was a character. Any time he would get shut down while videotaping (without permission), that would make that band an “esshole”. Classic dude and I wish I could find him so I could get a cleaner copy of me hanging out backstage with Slayer- my master is gone.

This one is from Barry Ward’s audio cassette collection. Since most people will be watching that big game and associated pre games, I decided to post something for people who hate that stuff. This is one of the craziest, most confrontational radio shows I have heard. It’s all over the place and seemingly programmed for listener discomfort. I love it!
It’s a must listen for people who enjoy early punk rock radio shows.
