Here is what is left on that amazing Fender’s tape- about 10 sets from 11/8/86, a complete Crumbsuckers set from this Adolescents show, and 4 minutes of The Adolescents. Sorry Patrick, this is all there is. I will keep watch for more videos from this show.

Ah man, I missed my daily posts for yesterday. Busy day grant writing and then off to Sudwerk to barely catch the start of the amazing sets there. Whew. Nice seeing everyone in real life! That means you get FIVE awesome things today- yesterday and today’s 2 scheduled posts and today’s “this date in history”.
This one is from Chris Eng’s collection. There were about a million bands playing at this show and the filmer seemed to have caught them all. Even though this is only 15 minutes long, it is the 2nd longest video that I can find out there by the band.

More from Chris Eng’s seemingly endless stream of bands on this one Fenders tape. A million bands played that day and this tape seems to have them all.
There is a better quality version of one song from this set online but it doesn’t seem like the full set is out there.

Another set in this 10 band bill. Excel was untouchable in this era- loved those early demos! We have also learned that Patrick Vergara filmed these sets and his masters are gone. That’s why I am not too picky about archival tapes being from the master tape, so many original tapes are now long gone… even some of mine.

Here’s a band I have never heard of, and it seems that a bunch of people have also never heard of them. When you look a band up on discogs and they are an old metal band, any demo tape that is released usually has a ton of demand. This one? Zero. Damn.
Necropolis were a thrash/Death Metal band from Laguna Beach, California. They released one demo and were on a comp with a bunch of bands including Bloodcum. Members were Andrew Prietto, Paul Chorbi, Robert Verns, Steve Resnick.

Back in 1986, Andy Andersen let me borrow a couple of Attitude Adjustment’s VHS tapes. This show from Fender’s has 3 bands- I have video for all 3 and soundboard audio for 2. This set is the one that doesn’t have a board tape, which is too bad because the audio sounds like hot garbage. Expect the 2 other sets to be posted with soundboard audio in the upcoming weeks.

Here’s another synch job that I have been hoping to get done for years. We had the video (not great quality, but this is a 1st gen from Andy Andersen) with HORRIBLE audio plus a separate soundboard audio tape that starts off kinda weird but improves after about 5min. Thanks to King Bean, we now have at least a listenable video. It was all distortion before.

This is one of the better Final Conflict sets I have heard. They were opening for “Grave New World” era discharge, and they were not only bagging on them, but also the venue and anything else came to mind. Funny, entertaining show.

As I promised (or threatened, whichever is the case for you), here is the complete Final Conflict set. The video only has about 15min of real footage & soundboard audio, but the band played for 45min. Here is the complete set, audio only. This is worth the listen for the between song banter alone.

I picked this one for today’s On This Date in History because I thought it would sound good.. and it does get better after the first 10 minutes. I did my best to rebalance it for the first 10, but it’s still pretty rough. Forward Tricia Toyota at 10min if you can’t take it, haha.
It seems to cut at 47min. The tape is labeled in a somewhat confusing way, but I think that’s all of it that exists.
