BOOTLEG COWBOYS – The Music Industry’s Outlaw Historians Unreleased Documentary 2016

So here’s something a little different. My friend Gary Shurtleff funded & produced this feature-length documentary on concert bootleggers. It is really well written and I think the story is engaging. I am in the doc along with a bunch of my taping friends- Jesse Davis, Joe Burns and many more. Lots of footage from bigger shows in Sacramento- mostly metal but some punk as well.

We are posting it to the archive because Gary was blasted by the youtube copyright jackals and he pulled it from his channel, so we are using the “misfits method” to make it available to all of you.

I have a couple of speaking parts in it, so if you aren’t tired of my old man stories yet, check it out. Check it out anyway, it’s pretty entertaining.

Korn- Arco Arena, Sacramento Ca. 12/29/96 xfer from 8mm master tape Enhanced 1080P Upscale Nu Metal

Alright kids, it’s time to feed you Bizkits and Korn with a spoon (if you get that reference, you are cool. If you don’t, you are still alright but you should google those lyrics and listen). Actually, it’s only Korn today- no Bizkits.
Korn opened for Metallica on a run of shows in late December 1996. Here is the Arco Arena stop of that tour. As always, huge thanks to Gary at @bootlegcowboys for giving the OK to post enhanced/upscaled Sacramento-related content to the channel/website here. Gary is cool.

Korn- Selland Arena, Fresno Ca 12/19/96 xfer from 8mm master tape Enhanced 1080p upscale

Here’s the 365th post of the year, and the last one of Gary Shurtleff’s ( @bootlegcowboys ) collection. Thanks Gary. Thanks to everyone for enduring a post every single day in 2023. Let’s keep the streak going into 2024.
This is Korn’s opening set for Metallica in Fresno. I searched everywhere for a poster for this show and came up empty, so the facebook post gets a photo of the OLD arena. I think it is still operating today, over 50 years old.
Happy new year everyone!
