Bl’ast- Catalyst, Santa Cruz ca 5/4/01? xfer from DV Master tape incomplete Blast SST Records

Today’s collections post comes from Guerin Myall’s collection of DV tapes. This is somewhat of a wild guess regarding the date and venue on this show, but it looks like The catalyst. The tape was labeled “B’last from Blast Nerve Agents tape”, and the only time newspapers.com shows them playing together at the Catalyst is 5/4/01. Guerin, how did I do?

Also, Al Quint asked for Bl’ast stuff so he gets it. I usually reserve that privilege to my $30/mo patreon subscribers, so consider it a freebie, Al!

You’ll be seeing small/incomplete clips from Guerin’s collection for now. he has a ton of tapes and I only got through about 30 of them before breaking the wrist. the DV machine I use weighs 30 lbs, so it’s going to need to wait until this heals. Sorry.

NOFX- Side Stage no venue/date possibly Catalyst, Santa Cruz Ca 2/28/01 xfer f/DV Master

This one is from Guerin Myall’s collection. The tape is labeled “NOFX Side Stage” and that’s all the detail there is. Since Guerin’s home base was santa cruz and he was most active in the 2000s, I tried finding any shows in that time frame. This one came up. All you internet sleuths, please let me know if this setlist lines up with the 2001 time frame. Maybe Guerin can help out a bit.

There might be multiple angles of this show. Still working throgh digitiing all the angles- time to restart now that the video capture setup is working again.

The Faction- The Catalyst, Santa Cruz Ca Early 2000’s Transfer from Master DV Tape Skate punk

This is one angle of (I think) 3 from Guerin Myall’s collection. I was a huge Faction fan and I had no idea that they got back together until I saw a listing at Capitol Garage in 2002. They were playing in Santa Cruz for a couple years before that. At least I was in the loop for the 2014-2020 reunion years.

We have been plowing through Guerin’s tapes as fast as possible, 2 different ways. Old DV tapes are notoriously finicky, especially at LP speed so we are running them with the lossless setup and then again with the old Camcorder-firewire-into-the-PC thing. There are good things about each method that make it worthwhile.

Man, Guerin had a NICE camera back then. I had a $1600 panasonic pro DV camera and it was noisier than this.
