Rush- The Forum, Inglewood Ca 11/27/96 xfer f/1st Gen VHS tape complete show Geddy Lee Neil Peart

Today’s On This Date in History comes from Bootleg Cowboy’s collection of VHS tapes I have had here for a loong time. In fact, his collection was the first I took in. After yesterday’s MDC debacle, I am paranoid about posting something that is already out there on YT, but this one doesn’t seem to be out there. That’s unusual for a band like Rush. This show is close to 3 HOURS long! Kudos to the cameraman for bootlegging a concert for that long. Not easy.

I tend to not celebrate holidays like this (you know, the ones where you were fed a line of BS in school and then you find out later what really happened), but I am super grateful for everyone who is supporting my attempt to make my hobby into my full-time job. You seriously have no idea how much you have helped me personally by being here, encouraging and helping me, and supporting me. Thank you.

Metallica- The Forum, Inglewood Ca 1/7/92 xfer from 8mm master tape Black Album Tour complete show

We have a new contributor to the archive! My old friend Erik F sent me a couple of boxes of 8mm master tapes to digitize over the past 6 months, but I was not sure if it was OK to post them. Erik just came back and let me know that the shows were filmed by Barry Goldstein and we are good to start posting them.
The first one is one of 2 Metallica shows from early 1992 that Barry filmed. I see other versions of this show on youtube, but I think this is a different angle/source. This was back when they had the tapers section and people could bring their recording devices. This one is about 3min longer than the other one posted. This one has a substantial amount of the early part of the show filmed off the video screen.
Also, I think that this concert poster image I found online to use for the facebook posts is bogus, but I could not find a legit one.

Bruce Springsteen- Sports Arena, Los Angeles Ca 9/24/92 xfer from 8mm master tape

Alright, I had to pivot a bit and post something other than what I had planned today. If you are a youtube subscriber and you received a Zeros video notification, please ignore. Need to get the band’s OK to post I think.
Instead, here is the last video I have from Barry Goldstein’s collection. 3 hours of Broooce. Holding a video camera relatively still for 3 hours while avoiding arena security is quite the feat.
If anyone has the exact date, please let me know. It was labeled “bruce forum night 1” only. Assuming early 90s since that was when Barry was active and taping.
