Another Wednesday, another rare as hell Arica Pelino video. This one is an apparent uncirculated Econochrist video from that same show as Lung Butter. Same with a lot of Arica’s video, this one sounds ok- not distorted. Nice closeups. Thanks Arica!

Here’s the first full show video from Arica Pelino’s collection. Chronic Decay were from Manteca (if my halfass Discogs sleuthing is correct, but it may not be- they are listed as a heavy metal/thrash band) and were clearly influenced by bands like Victims Family- jazz punk sound. Really great stuff!
If this is the Manteca band on discogs, members may/may not have been:
Bass, Vocals – Acy Guin
Drums – Mark
Lead Guitar – Paul
One last thing- I know that this has VHS copy-looking degeneration. It’s a master tape because A) Arica told me that she taped it herself and B) It was mastered in 6 hour (SLP) mode. Even oriringal recordings can have that shadowing in SLP mode. Lighting comes up at about the 28:00 mark and looks much better. Sounds great- love those old VHS camcorders.

It’s Friday! Man, what a long week. Here’s a pretty cool one from Arica Pelino’s suitcase of goods- a Bad Religion set that she filmed back in 1991. The audio is really good on this for a camcorder- like I mentioned before, some of those old VHS camcorders had solid mics. The camerawork and lighting get much better about 7 minutes in. BR fans will dig it. Thanks Arica!

Here’s something you don’t see every day- a multicam video from phoenix theater from 30 years ago. People filming with this type of quality on location was kind of unheard of back then. There were a couple but they were for community cable shows. There are no credits on this one, so it is hard to tell if this was ever aired or if it was just hobbyists. Cool regardless.
There was a really bad hum in the audio so I extracted it and used Izotope’s de-hum feature which kicks ass.
From Eddie Jorgensen’s archive. He is the long haired drummer. 🙂
From eddie: This particular show was Disciples Of Ed (DOE), The Louies, Hood House, and Chomphard at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, CA, Show was sold out and was an all local show.

Here’s another video from the collection of tapes that Gabe Meline gathered for the Disturbing the Peace exhibit. This one is good but not great quality, but the cool thing about it is that this seems to be the only video of the band from River Theater from the early days. It also looks like the same show as Disciples of Ed on this tape (same angle and quality) which should put it in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Cool!
