Uncle Tupelo- Paradise Theater, Boston Ma. 2/29/92 xfer from band archive audiotape Neil Young SBD

Here’s another board tape from uncle tupelo’s band archive, and it is a doozy. This is from the run with Teenage Fanclub, at the Paradise in Boston. This one is unique because they close the set with the Gang of Four cover PLUS a Neil Young cover.
Not only that, but I tried to find a flyer for this show online and found this article about the show… written by Craig Finn. Could it be THE craig finn/ Sure seems like it, he was at Boston College at the time.

7 seconds- T.T. the Bears Place, Cambridge Ma 7/28/87 xfer from unknown gen VHS

Here’s another installment from the DVD posting project. I am working through my DVDs and posting anything that is Sacramento-related, alphabetically. We are about 1% done so far.
Anyway, here is a nicely shot 7 seconds show from Cambridge ma in 1987. It’s too bad the video is so generated, a clean transfer off the master would probably look great. Anyway, great show from a great era of the band.

Henry Rollins and Ian Mackeye- The Rat, Boston Ma. 2/4/87 Spoken word together xfer from 3rd gen

NOTE the first 20min of this is rough- lots of audience chatter. It gets a lot better after 20min. Fast fwd if you can’t stand it- it’s worth the listen!

I think this was a one of a kind event- Henry Rollins and Ian Mackeye on stage together, reminiscing about the fun times working at the pet shop in D.C. and talking about ill-fated tours. Henry was doing spoken word shows regularly at this point, but I have never seen Ian do one of these since.
I also have a different recording of this show (recorded by Jim Hildreth) that is longer- 90 minutes- but lesser quality. Let me know if you are dying to hear that one and I’ll pull it out.

Kilslug- The Rat, Boston Ma. 1/8/87 xfer from 1st gen tape Rathskeller Upside Down Cross Adolf Satan

Hi Everyone, it’s Kilslug Friday! Here is yet another Kilslug show from the infamous Rat in Boston. These shows sound like drunken parties, wish I was there.
In the early 90s, I found a cassette trader with a bunch of Kilslug master audio recordings so I snagged them all. It looks like only 1 or 2 are on YT so far, so you all get to be abused with Kilsug the rest of the week.
Listen to the “Answer the Call” album for the properly recorded versions of these songs.

Kilslug- TT the Bears Place, Boston Ma 12/11/86 xfer from 1st gen audiotape Upside Down Cross

Hi Everyone, it’s Kilslug Sunday! Here is the last in this series of Kilslug shows, again from Boston. Man, I wish they would have played California at some point. This coming week, I plan to pull out some single cam & multicam videos that we filmed/finished editing but for one reason or another never posted. It should be a good time.

Kilslug- The Rat, Boston Ma. 9/17/86 xfer from 1st gen audio tape Dirge Upsidedown Cross Adolf Satan

For those unfamiliar with the genius of Kilslug, I have a story for you.
Back in the 80s, we had no internet to give us instant music recommendations. I was a big fan of Ron Quintana’s Metal Mania zine and would pay close attention to their record reviews. They reviewed Kilslug’s “Answer the Call” and called it “Death Death Metal”. I was like, holy shit, how heavy can this be? So I bought it and brought it home…. and I was like “What the fuck is this SHIT?”. It was this dirge of noise and Larry Lifeless’ wailing about being a worm and stuff. Over time, I forced myself to listen to it because I spent money on it… and I started to like it. I have been a fan ever since.
In the early 90s, I found a cassette trader with a bunch of Kilslug master audio recordings so I snagged them all. It looks like only 1 or 2 are on YT so far, so you all get to be abused with Kislug the rest of the week.
Listen to the “Answer the Call” album for the properly recorded versions of these songs.
