Galaxy Trio- Satyricon, Portland Or. 1995 xfer from master videotape with Sam Henry

Here is another cool Galaxy Trio video from Craig Babb’s collection of master tapes. This one features Sam Henry on keyboards for the last minute of the video. Sam was a legendary drummer- starting with The Wipers in the late 70s, to Napalm Beach in the 80s, through many great punk/surf bands up to 2022. Sam was on tour with Jenny Don’t and the Spurs in late January when he fell ill. Doctors discovered that he had cancer, and he passed away on Sunday. What a terrible, sudden shock- I will add a link to the Gofundme to help his family in comments.

Ween- La Luna, Portland Or 11/9/94 xfer from 8mm master tape enhanced Gene Dean

Here’s another one that Craig taped- this one turned out pretty good! Audio is not too bad, but if anyone has a lead on a better source, please let me know. LMA has nothing but I know this is a well documented band.

L7 and opener?- La Luna, Portland Or 11/8/94 xfer from 8mm Master Donita Sparks

Here is a very short one today from Craig Babb- there is a guy with a didgeridoo playing at the start for a couple minutes, then 1-2min of L7. Sorry, that was all that was on the tape.

Cracker- Autzen Stadium, 061894 xfer from dat clone audio only

don’t have access to wifi so I will attempt to post this to the website from my phone.
This show is probably my favorite cracker set ever. Opening for the grateful dead no less. Morgan fichter (CVB violin 1989-90) joined the band and they played a few songs from the 1990 camper van Beethoven set. Very nice surprise.

Cracker- Autzen Stadium, Eugene OR 6/17/94 audio only xfer from DAT clone opening for Grateful Dead

Cracker opened a 3 day run for the Grateful Dead in Eugene OR in 1994. This is the 1st of the 3 show run. This show is more of a standard Cracker set vs. the killer 6/18/94 set w/Morgan Fichter.

The Queers- Corvallis, OR 3/14/94 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette Lookout Records Punk

Big thank to Tim Davenport for sending his cassettes over for digitizing. This one was very clean, but vocal heavy and little to no bass in the mix. I did what I could in Izotope to fix it up.

Sleep- W.O.W. Hall, Eugene OR 2/18/94 xfer from master videotape enhanced Matt Pike WOW

Here’s a short one for you today, but it is pretty damn awesome. Here is a 7 minute clip that Craig Babb filmed of Sleep opening for Hawkwind back in 1994. This one was super dark so I brightened and fixed up the exposure before denoising. It sounds pretty good as well! Thanks Craig!

Sow Belly- John Henry’s, Eugene Or Mid-90s xfer from 8mm Master Tape Enhanced Grunge

Happy Friday everyone! I have had this one in the youtube upload queue for 2 months, and finally reached out to Craig Babb to get a little more detail. This is a different Sow Belly show than one that was posted a while back.
Sow Belly were Chris Baxley, Joe Baxley, Mike Brilowski, and Seantos McDonald. They released a couple of cassettes on their own in the early 90s, and a self-released 7″ in 1991.
