Big thanks to Angelo Bertini for telling me what to do on Patreon! While this video isn’t pristine quality, it seems to be the highest resolution out there. I can’t recall where I got this one- it might have been in a trade with Mike Pritchard. It seems that this was broadcast on community cable- there must be a better copy out there somewhere.

Bonus post today, thanks to Angelo Bertini! He told me what to do and got this RHCP show digitized. No known lineage, but it has an odd printed tape label which makes me wonder if it was a bootleg being sold at record shows. It has that look.
Not too bad of a recording, probably a Sony D3 or equivalent.

This video has been around a long time. Well circulated.. but I think this one might be the best version available. This comes from a lossless transfer of the VHS copy straight from Tony Philputt’s master tape. I pulled the audio track off the tape and rebalanced it- I boosted the bass way up plus touched up the guitar and vocals a little. Also brightened and adjusted contrast, degrained in adobe/neat video, then popped the new audio track in and processed it. Not bad.
It’s pretty wild that the band has 2 full shows documented 5 days apart, when they were at the top of the game. Thanks Tony.

Big thanks to Angelo Bertini for telling me what to do- Angelo wanted this RHCP tape digitized… aaand it’s not very good. Sorry. I processed the heck out of it to make it listenable. EQ, Rebalance, Dehum, and here it is. It’s no longer awful.
My tape is marked as 2/22/86, but a search on newspapers dot com and the RHCP live website shows that the only time they played this venue at the time was on 9/13/85 when they opened for X. So, I’m listing both dates as possibilities.

Time for more Sacramento History from our new contributor Dave Carness. I have heard my friends talk about this show and I figured we would never be able to experience it apart from the flyer. Dave taped it and while it doesn’t sound quite as good as his Black Flag show I posted in May, it is still listenable. CCT did not have the best sound unfortunately.
