Following along with today’s “What the hell is this” theme, here is another artist from Robert Eggplant’s VHS master of a house show in Oakland a few years back. I don’t know who this is, hopefully you do! Let me know if you know. Y’know?

It’s viewer participation day, especially if you live in the Sacramento/Bay area. This unknown band played with IGD at this street party in 2000. Does anyone recognize the band or any of the band members? Looks like the guy closest to the camera could be Brian Hay- Beerlords maybe? Especially with that last song called Beer. lol. No idea on the second band. Please let me know if you know. I’ll add a bonus post for today since this one is a short unknown band kind of thing.

This is from Todd Nakamine’s collection and we need some help from you. We don’t know what the venue or date is. Greg jokes about playing the venue often, and you can tell that it is a smaller place with a low stage and low ceilings. After browsing setlist dot fm, I think it might be Night Moves in Huntington Beach or Stardust Ballroom.
Here’s what my friend Agelos says about this and he has more BR stuff than anyone I know: “Bad Religion ????/??/?? Unknown Venue & Date
01 Land Of Competition (few seconds only) 02 Doing Time 03 1000 More Fools 04 You Are (cuts out) 05 Big Bang 06 Voice Of God Is Government 07 When? (cuts out) 08 We’re Only Gonna Die 09 Part III 10 Yesterday 11 Delirium Of Disorder 12 Fuck Armageddon…This Is Hell 13 Bad Religion (only few seconds)
Notes: -Jay wears a BR white t-shirt from the Suffer Tour -Filmed from the right side of the stage. -Brett and Jay stand at the right side of the stage and Greg at the left. -They said that last week they played also at that club. -Someone is in the right stage of the stage with crutches.”
So they are not playing in their usual stage spots and they play there often.
Wait… now that I look at this again.. I was dead-set on this being from L.A., but could it be Gilman? Look at the exit door right next to the stage and when the camera pans to the back of the club, the open doorway seems about right. But Gilman did not have lighting that good back then.

I debated posting this one because it is a grab bag of randomness, but if these audience recordings are Scott’s, it would be a bummer to bury them forever. So here you go, help me sort this out. Nothing is a direct “hit” in youtube’s copyright algorithm.
It starts with some keyboard noodling, which I suspect is Scott. Then there is an audience recording of someone who sounds like Van Morrison. I also heard “willin” that was written by Little Feat. Any help to sort this out is appreciated.
There are a few tapes like this in Scott’s collection that I can put up if there is interest.

OK everyone, I am hoping for your help in identifying this band. This is from Russ Gibb’s archive and the tape says “Rock Band Concert Oct 1979 D.H.S.” If anyone knows who this band is, or if any of these band members went on to any other bands, I would appreciate it. I tried googling some song titles and nothing. The band kicks ass and the soundboard audio, while a little distorted, is pretty sweet for a 1979 show. After super beta machine #1 died transferring another tape, I bought another one and transferred this tape… and then it dies as well. I bought a third one (from japan) that seems to be dead on arrival as well. My garage is starting to fill up with dead super beta machines.
