The Vandals- Paladio, Milano Italy 10/19/96 xfer from FM cassette master-DAT

Let’s dip into the DAT collection for today’s On This Date in History! I got this one in a trade with someone overseas and they broadcast this on the radio over there, bad words and all.
The guitar is a bit low in the mix to start and the mix changes quite a bit throughout, so not a good one to rebalance. It’s enjoyable.

The Vandals- Palookaville , Santa Cruz Ca 4/6/95(Maybe) xfer f/master DV tape Punk

On to Guerin Myall’s collection for today’s video post. I am in the middle of plowing through a bunch of his DV tapes, and we are going to do our best to sort out multiple angles of the same show and edit them together.

This tape was labeled “Fury 66/Vandals” and that is all I have to go on. I checked Santa Cruz Sentinel history and it looks like those two bands played together twice- once at the Vet’s Hall, which does not look like this venue… and a place called Palookaville. I could not find photos online of the venue (and it is long closed), but it said it was “long and narrow” and this place looks long and narrow.. so let’s run with it. This 13min was all that there was on this tape.
