The Jayhawks- Riviera Thtr, Chicago Il 5/23/97 Lossless xfer f/Hi8 master tape Americana Alt country

It’s Friday, so that means video from one of the many collections over here. It is Neil Werries’ turn for a post today. Coincidentally, I happened to be burning a bunch of lossless transfers of his to disc, and I realized that this show had not been posted yet.
For those with skillz- there are 2 angles of this show, but we need help with time alignment for editing. If this is something that you are able to do and you are willing to help, please reach out at shaynestacy@hotmail.com thanks.

Helium- Riviera Theater, Chicago Il 10/26/95 xfer from 1st gen VHS Tape Boston indie Rock

The first of not one, not two but THREE videos today! That’s crazy!
Today’s On This Date in History comes (once again) from Jim Utz’ collection of VHS tapes that I digitized years ago. There was a person who followed Sonic Youth around in 1995 and video’d a bunch of their shows. I have the Sonic Youth set from this show, but I chose this because it seems that Helium shows from 1995 are not too common.
