Ramones- The Vogue, Indianapolis In 9/28/88 Transfer from Master/1st gen VHS tape Complete Set

Not only do we have a Patreon Voter’s Choice, but we also have a NEW COLLECTION! This is one of 3 collections that I flew to the midwest to pick up last week. It was the hwy 70 tour: Indianapolis-Columbus Oh- Indianapolis- St. Louis- Indianapolis. That’s about 1000 miles of drivin’.

This one is from Julie Huffaker’s collection. She was born in England and raised in Indianapolis and was filming shows with her partner there since the early 1980s! I picked up about 50 VHS tapes from her collection and we will be posting these over the next couple years. It’s an overwhelming amount of good stuff. Thanks for trusting me with your collection, Julie! We had a nice visit.

Since I was travelling, it was easier to put the first Julie video up for a Patreon poll. We had the highest response rate ever, and we also had a tie. This one is getting posted this week, the other winner comes next week.

One last thing- there are 2 Ramones Vogue 9/28/88 tapes in Julie’s collection and they are the same exact shot. One must be a first gen, but they both look pretty much flawless; hence the “master or 1st gen” label.

Zero Boys- Vogue, Indianapolis In 1/30/85 xfer from low gen VHS tape enhanced Midwest Punk Hardcore

Posting this one early since I am still working on On This Date, and I know people will be heading out to some events today. Be safe and peaceful everyone.

This one is from Tony Philputt’s collection that I picked up from Phil Go a month or so back. Tony either video’d some early midwest shows himself, or I think he got them from the filmer. A lot of unbelievable stuff is in his collection, but they were all commingled with hundreds of other tapes. In fact, there were 24 banker’s boxes full of VHS tapes to go through. It was quite the treasure hunt! It took hours of digging to find Phil’s tapes that he wanted along with tapes from Tony that I think are like this one.

So on to the goods. Man, is this one awesome. There are some serious A/V synch issues but it’s still worth the watch. Quick reminder that you can volunteer at the Sacramento Music Archive nonprofit and work from home and help me fix up things like A/V synch issues- $40/hr of volunteer time in a donation receipt to you. C’mon, what are you waiting for?

This one has out of synch distorted audience audio, then no audio, then more out of synch distorted audience audio, then soundboard audio, then distorted audience audio. All within 10 minutes!

Is that guy at the very end the same guy as the stoned guy meme? The resemblance is uncanny!

There is also a headlining set that I will be posting next month.
Thanks Phil and thanks Tony!

Toxic Reasons- The Vogue, Indianapolis In 1/30/85 xfer f/VHS master or 1st gen

Since we have a bonus post today, let’s get to the collections video now. Good news I think- it appears that the video capture setup is working! I was able to get an ATI TV Wonder 600 USB capture device- it turns out after flushing almost $1k down the toilet, it was the capture device’s fault. Oh well, I guess it was good for the TBC to be recapped…

I am running a few more tapes to test it out, but it looks good so far. Yaaay. 2 months of thrashing around is finally done.
