Thin White Rope- Vis Club, San Francisco Ca 10/24/86 xfer from unknown gen audiotape soundboard

I hope everyone is staying safe and well during this surreal time.

Since I am one handed now. I used my remaining good one to pull one of my cassette trays off the top of the shelves here. I found all kinds of GOOD stuff. Here is an old soundboard recording of TWR from the Vis in 1986. I just learned today that The Vis was the same building as the Kennel Club in the late 80s/90s, and is now The Independent.

This one sounds pretty damned good. I was able to use Izotope to boost the bass (as much as possible) and boost 1 guitar. I got lucky with the guitar- the program doesn’t always isolate the guitar… both guitars are not perfectly balanced, but there wasn’t much I could do about it.

Show starts with a 1 song soundcheck, then the show.

One last thing- I have around 90 TWR listings on the audio list on the sacramentomusicarchive.com website. I’ll need to get to them all someday

RKL- V.I.S. Club, San Francisco 4/5/86 xfer from band archive cassette tape Rich Kids on LSD R.K.L.

Huge thanks to Barry Ward for giving the OK for this one to be posted. It is really cool to hear some early RKL sets that sound pretty decent, quality-wise. Punk recordings from the mid-80s were usually sketchy at best.
I looked for way too long for a photo of the VIS, which is now The Independent. The best I could find was a pic of the club in 1991, when it was the Kennel Club.
