Thin White Rope: I-Beam, San Francisco Ca 2/16/90 xfer from soundboard cassette incomplete

For today’s On This Day in History, Thin White Rope played with Young Fresh Fellows and American Music Club at the I-Beam. It was a Frontier Records showcase. Man, Lisa Fancher had great taste in the bands that she signed to Frontier. What a lineup.
This is about 20 minutes of Thin White Rope’s set. My tape is a bit longer but the first few i=minutes is unlistenable due to a bad tape dub. Hopefully ML or someone has the full set because it sounds great!

Recorded by: ? (possibly ML Compton)

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

Buzzcocks: I-Beam, San Francisco Ca. 11/27/89 xfer from cassette

Here is another Buzzcocks show from the archive, during their first trip out west after they reunited in 1989. So my notes on this one say “1st gen cassette, done with my deck”. I can’t remember who borrowed my equipment to record this show- was it you, Mark Martin?
Anyway, I remixed it and took the edge off the high end and boosted the hell out of the bass. It was thinner before, believe it or not.

Recorded by: ?
Equipment used: Sony WMD6C Pro Walkman, Sony ECM909 mic.

Thin White Rope- I Beam, San Francisco Ca. 3/20/89 Enhanced xfer from Master VHS Tape

Again, HUGE thanks to Paul Ashby for trusting me (and usps) with his master VHS tapes.

Here’s what I did to enhance this one:
VHS Playback/Transfer with JVC HRS9800U w/TBC on, into Canopus ADVC300
Adobe Premiere Elements to birghten, increase contrast, haze removal. Noise reduction via Neat Video.
Export to MP4 at 1080p.

Minutemen: I-Beam, San Francisco ca 9/23/85 DBX Cassette Soundboard-DAT-CDR Complete Set

Against my better judgment, I’m going to try to post another bay area Minutemen board tape for today’s On This Date in history. I checked thoroughly this time- nothing on live music archive, nothing on youtube.

The tape was damaged at the beginning of this, but it pulls out of it pretty quickly. Forward to 5min if you can’t handle the quality at the start.
Probably should have rebalanced this- needs more guitar
