Fifteen- Columbus Club, Appleton Wi. 9/6/95 xfer from VHS Master enhanced live Jeff Ott Crimpshrine

Here is the next show I realized that I had digitized already, when organizing spindles. This one was taped by Jason Ross, and it fell into my hands when he gifted me his collection a few years back. Thanks again, Jason!
With this one, I was able to enhance it quite a bit. It was SUPER dark and I cranked the brightness and exposure, and the neat video plugin did a nice job with reducing all of the noise that ensued.

AFI- 1022 Smith St, Green Bay Wi. 7/15/95 xfer from master VHS Tape Enhanced Live A.F.I. Basement

Here is a really cool one for today, again from some of the stuff that I digitized for the Turn it Around doc. This was a poorly lit basement show, and the original tape was super dark… but since Jason Ross had the awesome old-school giant GE VHS camcorder, the recording was clean enough for me to boost the hell out of brightness and exposure to make it watchable. Thanks Jason!

R.K.L.- VFW, Green Bay Wi. 8/26/94 Audio only xfer from 1st gen soundboard Rich Kids on LSD

I’ve been on a bit of an RKL kick lately. It is fun to hear these shows, but also heartbreaking to listen to Jason. He was so funny- I didn’t know he had kids. Just tragic that he passed away while trying to get clean.

Anyway, this is another recording from that amazing gift that is the Jason Ross archive. I popped it into Izotope and bumped the vocals down a bit, and bumped the bass up a bit. Mix fluctuates for the 1st 5min or so but settles down. Very enjoyable.

Fifteen- Eagles Club, Green Bay Wi 4/30/94 xfer 1st gen soundboard audio tape enhanced! east bay punk

This was a typical board mix- lots of vocals, drums were noticeably higher than the guitar. I was able to take Izotope rx and drop the vocals, boost the guitars/bass and it came out pretty nice! The mix fluctuates but it evens out a few minutes in.

Schlong- Dave King’s Basement, Appleton Wi 10/18/92 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape East Bay Punk Live

Since everyone seemed happy to see the Schlong post yesterday, here is some more Schlong. This one was filmed at a basement show. I feel for the filmer- there is no good place to film, so he/she had to film around people. Not bad considering the circumstances. People in the front sit down after about 10-15min which helps with the view. This is another one that was digitized for the Turn it Around documentary, years ago.
More goodness from Jason Ross’ collection
PS: Check about 20min into the show- that guy filming had a SMALL camera for the time. My Aiwa CV-88 was about twice as big. Imagine lugging that to a show.

The Entertainer- Green Bay Wi Cable shows VHS xfer Rev Norb Boris the Sprinkler Blow Pops Exploited

I pulled this one out to find a specific thing to post, and I realized that the entire 2 hours was pure gold, so I posted it all.
This comes from (I think) Grux from Caroliner Rainbow’s collection of VHS tapes. This is a totally INSANE early 1990s community cable show and I highly recommend you watch some of it. Most of it is just insane ramblings from Rev Norb (from Boris rthe Sprinkler), who seems to run the show along with 1 or 2 other guys.
The part I was trying to find is at 1 hour 39 min- rev norb interviews Wattie from the Exploited and the entire segment (including subtitles) are a perfect encapsulation of how I feel about the band. Thanks guys- this is awesome! Around that same time stamp are The Blow Pops live footage n(1 hour 35) and The Happy Schnapps Combo (1 hour 40 something)… but seriously, the4 entire thing is worth watching. Hilarious bored Wisconsin kids.

D.I.- Kutska’s Hall, Howard Wi 1/2/90 xfer from master cassette Casey Royer Devo

Here’s a tape that jumped out at my from Jason Ross’ collection. I am a big DI fan, so I figured I would pop this one in and listen while working. It is a decent audience recording done with an Aiwa HS-J15 and a custom mic. It sounds a bit like a Sony Pro Walkman D3 recording. I caught DI in June of this year and they were playing a very similar set.

Slayer- Eagles Club, Milwaukee Wi. 4/6/85 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash Metal

Here is the correct info for today’s post. When I don’t have enough time to prep these posts, I make mistakes. Thanks to TM Doug for shooting me a mail right away to let me know.
I found this image online and it made me laugh. It was outside the venue on the day of this show, but it’s exactly how I remember the scene when we hung out backstage in April (Crest Thtr) and August (Club Can’t Tell) of 1985. Nice guys and a party atmosphere.
