7 Seconds- Sports Palace, St. Louis Mo. 8/8/88 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape

This is a pretty unique show- Bobby’s guitar was not getting power for a good portion of the set, so the rest of the band did a bunch of dub versions of the song with the crowd singing along. I love spontaneous moments like these. The power loss/singalong starts at about 5min in. The crowd just keeps going when Kevin’s mic loses power as well. SO cool.
This was filmed by my good friend Jim Utz. Like I have mentioned before, cameras, tapes and batteries were super expensive back then (that’s why there are not a ton of opening band videos). Jim would record the master on a VHS-C tape and transfer it to VHS, then record another show on the VHS-C tape. So, this is a transfer from the lowest surviving copy of the show.

C.O.C. Corrosion of Conformity- Sports Palace, St. Louis Mo. 7/22/87 Audio xfer 4 Track Soundboard

NOTE- This tape had issues for 1st 5min. Forward to 5min if you can’t take the quality at beginning*
As I was digging out the old C.O.C. tapes from Sacramento to post, I remembered this one. This was recorded (with the band’s permission) with Mark Denizczuk’s 4 track recorder. Lineage= Master tape-Jim Utz copy-my copy
KILLER recording and a great set. It sounds like the crowd was crazy and the power blew out at least once.
