Michael Moore- Main Gym, San Francisco State University 10/20/03 transfer from SVHS master sbd audio

There are a bunch of videos from Scott Davey’s collection that are not music. The vast majority of his collection IS music, but there is some live poetry and SFSU events like this. I debated putting these up since they go against the Music aspect of the archive, but I realized that these would never surface if I didn’t do them, so up they go.

On other thing- this is in no way a political statement. It is merely an archival document being posted online. The Sac Music Archive is a non-political 501c3 nonprofit. We are not allowed to have a political stance or make endorsements. Unfortunately. lol. Ask my personal opinion (unaffiliated with the nonprofit) when you see me at a show if you are curious.

This is the one that I was struggling with processing yesterday. Including the intro video and personal intro, it runs for 2.5 hours! Buckle up, it’s gonna be a long one.

LaWanda Page- McKenna Theatre, San Francisco Ca 2/24/93 transfer f/master VHS tape Sanford and Son

Everyone once in a while, I will find something in a collection that is not music but is rare and relevant enough to post anyway. This is one of those. LaWanda Page was not just Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son- she had success in dancing and as a stand-up comedienne before her TV role. This is one of those stand-up sets and man it is racy. 18+ you all, log in to youtube to watch.

The quality of the video was challenging. The video was so overexposed that she was a glowing blob of light. I was pretty surprised that I was able to tweak the settings in virtualdub and recover this much. (for the lossless folks out there- I had to pull saturation down to 7 to get this result!)
