Jackson Saints- The Chatterbox San Francisco Late 1980s transfer 1st gen DVcam tape Soundboard Audio

This Jackson Saints set may not be the best quality, but it is an absolute scorcher of a set. Does anyone know why they came on stage, proceeded to rip it up for about 10 minutes, get off stage, then some of the band comes back for a cover of Neil Young’s “Birds”… and that’s it? Talk about leaving the audience wanting more. Damn.

All tape flaws/audio hum etc is on the source tape, but it doesn’t matter.

Witnesses?- The Chatterbox, San Francisco Ca late 1980s Transfer from 1st Gen DVCam tape Garage Rock

This one might be from the same night as that Jackson Saints video (w/ soundboard audio) that I posted a couple weeks back. It is right next to it on the tape. Once again, it seems to be a partial set or the encore only.

I am not sure if this is The Witnesses. The tape is marked as if The Witnesses are the first band on here, but according to their discogs page, the guitarist Dave Dick also took care of vocal duties. If this is the wrong band, please correct me. Thanks

Osgood Slaughter- Chatterbox, San Francisco Ca late 1980s transfer from 1st gen DVCam tape Eugene Or

Finally, here is one from Alfie’s collection. I am a few days late on this because I kept forgetting cables and little crap that I needed to do DVcam transfers. Having stuff spread across 2 houses is no fun. What is fun is a working capture PC that doesn’t throw everything out of sync!

Anyway, Osgood Slaughter is a band from Eugene Or who put out a couple self-released things in the late 80s/early 90s. They were clearly popular with the Chatterbox crowd

Stevie Stiletto- Chatterbox, San Francisco Ca 1988 xfer f/1st gen DVCam tape

Here’s the last video that I have for now from Alfie Kulzick. I hope there are more tapes to come- restoring these old Chatterbox tapes has been a lot of fun!
This one had the lowest lighting of them all, but it sounded better than most of the others. It was SUPER red so I had to play around with the color which affects the lighting. After playing with color, brightness, exposure, etc.. I think this is as good as it’s gonna get.
