My laptop decided to die so I am tapping the daily post out on my phone. man, I hate using my phone for computer tasks.
anyway, here is another one from Dan Pettit’s collection. this is a bonus live show at the end of the demo. to give you a sense of timing, this tool place the week after sonic youth’s somewhat famous shows there.

Jordan Wolfe stopped by today and dropped off a BIG box of tapes. There is a lot of stuff you will want to see, but this is the one that he wanted to post first. FS at CBGB!
I will let Jordan tell the story(and edit the post here), but he told me that they *really* wanted to play CBGB before it closed. A few months before it was scheduled to shut down, they received a call to open a show. So they did what any reasonable band would do- they drove from California to NYC to play the show!
Transferred from Jordan’s DV master. Audio is distorted, but you get the idea.
Recorded by: Jordan Wolfe
Equipment Used: Canon(?) DV Camcorder
I did not film thuis, just uploading all ghoulies stuff not already on YT, for the sacramento music archive project

Thanks to an anonymous donor and the “frenchonionsoupandkittylitter” youtube channel, we have a special treat today. This is a stellar recording of one of those famous unannounced club shows that Prince used to do.
Here is the detail:
Prince & The New Power Generation

The Players
Total Run Time; 1:53:05.000
Also, I happened to check out the old frenchonionsoup channel and it looks like the Misfits show from Vegas got whacked. We will need to figure out how to make that available again. 🙂
In our search for better audio for Steve Rogers’ videos, we found that there was a nice sounding soundboard tape of the Crowes from this date. I asked the taper for the files and he sent them over for synch. Well, it appears that the band played 2 sets that night and the board tape is not this show. Damn, we tried.
Edit: Steve let me know that this is the soundcheck. Mystery Solved.

Here’s another one from Wayne Triggs’ stack of VHS tapes. Man, this one is super low gen- it almost looks like a master tape, but that’s impossible. No smears/color bleed common with copied VHS tapes.
The date is a guess, but it looks the same as a different angle of the show entitled “AVAIL NYC 4/21” on youtube. The poster put them up on 4/22/06, so I am running with it. Someone tell me if I have it wrong.

Here’s another Ebay score- Babes in Toyland live in the studio, recorded for radio broadcast. This is clearly the pre-broadcast soundboard recording. There were big gaps of silence on the DAT from when they were broadcasting commercials or something. I did miss one bit of silence at about 26min. Keep listening, they do come back. The mix on that first (real) song could use some work- vocals are buried.. but the rest is good.
By the way, even though I keep posting stuff I bought off Ebay, that doesn’t mean that I am running out of material. I still have my 4,000 cassettes, 2,000 DATs, and 1,000 VHS tapes work through.. along with Jason Ross’ collection of 1,000+ VHS and cassettes, Anonymous’ cassette masters, Radley & Dal Basi’s stuff and many more. These just happen to be in front of me today.

Used Sony Soundforge 10 to clip it all together
It’s the weekend! That means that you all get moving pictures with sound from me, rather than just audio only.
I am surprised that the full show isn’t on YT yet. There is a 20min clip up, but not the entire Japanese TV broadcast. Includes a 10min tour of NYC clubs (Knitting Factory, Pyramid etc) at the start along with an interview with TFC.
This is GREAT stuff- proshot full show of the band at their peak!

Here’s a post for John Moulton, Channing Lewis, Michael Crow, and Jersey Joe. Everyone is trying to figure out who the guest is playing the strat in this picture. My guess is Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo, but Dave calls out a special guest that is not intelligible. but is definitely not Ira. Can anyone solve the mystery of the mystery Strat guest?
I’ll be posting 12/7/88 tomorrow, lesser quality than this one.

Soul Asylum played 2 nights at CBGB in December of 1988. This one doesn’t sound quite as good as the 12/8/88 show, but I mixed out as much distortion as I could. Again, this is for John Moulton, Channing Lewis, Michael Crow, and Jersey Joe. Everyone is trying to figure out who the guest is playing the strat in this picture. My guess is Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo, but Dave calls out a special guest that is not intelligible. but is definitely not Ira. Can anyone solve the mystery of the mystery Strat guest?
The pic is likely from 12/8/88, but I did not listen to 12/7 closely enough to hear if there are guests on this one as well.
