Here’s another one from Wayne Triggs’ stack of VHS tapes. There is a shorter, lesser quality version of this show shot from a different angle on YT. This one looks a lot better but sounds just as lousy. I wonder how they were able to get booked at the library.

Last one for today, from Rick Sylvain’s KALX archive of tapes. This reminds me that I need to add a bunch of notes that another KALX DJ commented and it sounds like they might have tapes as well.
Speaking of tapes, I get to hang out with my old friend Craig Hilmer today. He taped a bunch of stuff in Austin and San Antonio back in the 80s and early 90s. Let’s hope he brought a box of masters.
I’ve mentioned before that these KALX soundboard simulcasts were a crapshoot. Bad words could slip out, board mixes could be uneven.. and this one checks all of those boxes. I did my best to rebalance and bring guitar up in the mix, but that guitar must have been BLASTING from the stage, haha. Hope they didn’t get in trouble for language.
