Rancid- Aftershock Festival, Discovery Park, Sacramento Ca. 10/8/21 Live 4K Enhanced w/ DPA 4061 Mic audio

After getting crushed at Suicidal, I shot over to Rancid at the main stage. I thought I was going to miss the beginning of their set, but I got there pretty close to the start. You can really hear how lame the sound is in VIP on this recording- these are the same mics used for Exodus, Anthrax, Misfits etc and they all sound great. This one is messy.
Not trying to bag on the band, but when I was thinking back on the 4 days, I was listing all of the bands I saw off the top of my head and this one did not even register– nothing stood out. They were good, and this is the obvious “greatest hits fest set”, but I just didn’t remember it at all. I had seen them somewhat recently so maybe that was it.

Rancid- The Bash Fest, Papa Murphy’s Park, Sacramento Ca. 6/16/19 Live Lumix ZS70 Punk

Headlining The Bash were Rancid. I saw them a few years back at Riot Fest Denver, during a torrential rainstorm.. but this was the first time in a LONG time that I was able to enjoy a set of theirs. Greatest hits festival set- I am only a casual fan and I knew just about every song.

Rancid- DV8, Seattle Wa 10/11/95 Audio only xfer from low gen cassette East Bay Punk

This one is an audience tape, but it sounds pretty decent so I figured I’d post it. There was a guy in the northwest who taped on DAT back in the 90s, but his recordings were usually a little more bass-heavy. Regardless, sounds like a pro walkman tape at minimum.

Rancid- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 5/14/94 Master Soundboard Cassette-CDR East Bay Punk Lars Fredriksen

It’s the second Patreon Voter’s Choice in a row! 2 in 2 days. That’s what happens when it takes a week to get a video done. Haha. I’ll be sending out new ballots for one of my recent masters tonight or tomorrow- probably tomorrow. So hop on the Patreon if you want to have fun voting, and you just might win something cool!

This will also double as a collections post, since we were due for a Radley post anyway. There are still more Radley boards to be posted, so stay tuned!

This one sounds pretty good as is so I left the original mix. The guitar comes up and bass comes down after a couple min. The levels and mix change drastically on the song at the very end- could that last bit be from a different show?

Rancid- SCRAP Skate Park, Hoffman Estates IL 10/3/93 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape Live Enhanced Punk

Happy halloween everyone! It looks like I have 7 or 8 more shows to post from the raw files I created for the Turn it Around movie project. Funny story about the project- I mailed about FIFTY DVDs to them.. and they got lost in the mail. I re-did them all and mailed them again! Some postal worker or random Oakland citizen has a lot of east bay punk DVDs now.
This one looks like a big upgrade from what is on the youtubes today. If we could get the masters digitized, we could really clean these (especially the mcgregors shows) properly.

Rancid- Berkeley Square, Berkeley Ca 5/28/93 xfer from VHS-C Master Punk Partial set

I am still digitizing cassettes from the 20ish collections I have over here, so you get the regular schedule this week. 2 more audio contributors to finish and then I move to video. Get ready for some crazy stuff- this DRI tape blew me away today.
Wednesday is Arica Pelino day until further notice. Here is 9 minutes and 24 seconds(924- get it? Pure coincidence) of Rancid from that same show as Tilt. I poked around youtube and this appears to be the earliest Rancid video out there. Wow!

Rancid- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 5/2/93 xfer from master soundboard tape rebalanced

Here’s the last recording I have from that 5/2/93 show that Radley taped. This one was also a little light on the vocals and guitar so I rebalanced it in Izotope as well. The vocals are pretty high in the mix for the first song, but they get a little buried in the mix from then on, so I bumped them up a bit.
I know that the first song is repeated twice. That is how Radley’s CD was, and one track cuts in while the other fades in. I was going to trim it, but kept them both.

Rancid- Phoenix Theatre, Petaluma Ca 3/13/93 xfer f/ soundboard cassette Basic Radio Downfalll Punk

On This Day in History will post later today- I decided to mix it up a bit.
Here’s one from Jason Ross’ cassette collection. This one was odd- the tape had about 8 minutes of another Rancid show at first- an audience recording. I thought it might be the soundcheck for this show, but there is crowd in between the songs, so I just trimmed it off. If you really wanna hear the mystery Rancid 8min thing, let me know.
It’s got some tape hiss and the mix changes/improved througout, so no rebalancing. Too unstable.

Rancid- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 12/11/92 xfer f/ master soundboard tape Punk w/ Billie Joe Armstrong

Since Doug’s tapes have been (and will be) dominating the weekday posts for a while, I figured I’d give the punk fans something to listen to before they bail on me. Maybe I will do this to mix things up at least once a week.
This one comes from Radley Hirsch’s amazing trove of soundboards that he taped while he mixed sound at the club. This one said “Rancid Gilman 121192 with bj”, and I think I hear Billie Joe speak into the mic at some point. This was before Green Day were banned from the club, so maybe BJA played this show with them- the google says that BJA played shows with them in 1993, so it’s plausible.
Thanks to Radley for preserving the history. I rebalanced this one (he prefers to keep the mix as originally produced- sorry Radley), but I think that it really helps this one… until the end and the mix changes dramatically.

Rancid- Live at 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 2/22/92 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette rebalanced

Another late post, and another Eggplant tape. This tape only had “Rancid Live at Gilman” written on the outside, so if anyone can help with a date I would accept that help. UPDATE: Thanks to Todd Pritchard’s investigative skills, we now know that it is 2/22/92- they thank Grimple and False Sacrament during the show, and they were on the bill on 2/22/92!
The mix wasn’t great and the vocals were buried, but I did my best to fix it up in Izotope Rx8, the snare is still super low in the mix
