All Tradable Non-Tradable

Hay.  May God bless you.  It's a short life folks.  And a long long eternity.

My prior last entry was 04/2008.  I got separated later that month and divorced 11/2008.  I never did update my listing here.  I'm sorry.  I rarely did any trades after 04/2008. I actually did do 2 bigger trades.   I recently learned how to burn discs using my computer so I should be back in the saddle. 
I apologize for not updating my trading status correctly 3 years ago when I should have.  I actually have some shows to add to this list due to those 2 big trades.  Basically more GANG OF FOUR, TEENAGE JESUS AND THE JERKS, STEEL PULSE, PERE UBU,  and a few others.  I'll try to get to updating this list.  Thanks for your patience.

I'm only trading for A or A-, thanks.

I'm starting to give some of my tapes away (ideally, anyone who wants to transfer the A- and above ones to cdr & keep the tapes & a cdr copy).   I'm thinning the collection.  I already tossed most of my shows that are B or lower.  I kept some sentimental ones.

Update: I actually did give away my entire tape collection to a local fellow punk who had come over and admired it.  I know it went to a good home.

If you wanna check out tapes I'm giving away just ask, I'll send you the list.  The tape list is 80% punk.  This cdr list is, what? just over 1/2 punk?

I've got 1,200 tapes and about 1,900 cdrs.

I have a website at www.geocities/chrisbct77  with stuff about music particularly BCT (Bad Compilation Tapes/Borderless Countries Tapes, a living room tape label with 170 HC bands from 17 countries on 27 tapes from 1981 to 1986.  Me and a consortium of punk labels reissued 6 of 'em in the 2000's.)

 

 If you want to know the quality of the recording of a show where I haven't listed it, just ask, I'll gladly tell you and then list it on this site.

 

I stay in contact by email during the trade.  I package well and use Sony made in Japan.  Please send equivilent or please tell me then I'll use less expensive ones as well.

 

I'm flexible and easy going. I mail first class.  Been trading since 1981 (back in the old days when it was all tape and snail mail). ps, Sorry, but doing trading with Japan is expensive postage wise so I gotta do small trades from Japan. Other oversees locations I'll do little bit bigger trades.

Thanks.

10/17/81 Madison Square Garden cdr 1 B+ Clear enough to be A- but aud and recorded slightly away from the stage
05/12/82 El Senario cdr 1 A- I recorded this. 23 trax. Meat Puppets opened for them.
07/03/82 Kings Road cdr 1 B+ I recorded this. Bit muffled sound. On same cdr as Urinals 12/5/97. Total time 68:01. I interviewed them after the show next door with the jukebox goin' over our head. My BCT (punk tape label) partner, Dave, painstakingly transcribed the interview despite that.
10/15/82 Anti-Club cdr 1 A- Some hiss.
01/23/83 KPFK Studio Z cdr 1 A-
01/28/83 Anti-Club cdr 1 B+ Instruments are A, vocals are B+ bit distant.
01/29/83 Al's Bar cdr 1 A- 20/57:22 Final performance of the band. I recorded this show. Only chance I ever got to talk with d. boon. Asked him if ok to record them. He said ok long as it wasn't for release. MINUTEMEN ripped that night. For final 100 FLOWERS songs he and Keith Morris jumped up on stage and sang.
??/??/83 Beyond Baroque cdr 1 B+ Ok, it could be 1982.

12/04/83 St. Zeno church hall: Last White Christmas cdr 1 A- I have several bands on this list all recorded live at this gig in Pisa. I consider it to be the finest recorded punk rock/hc gig ever. Italian punk, like most countries, has its own distinct sound. CCM guys explained to me in 1986 when they played San Diego on their one U.S. tour that the reason Italian punk isn't like any other on earth is because they didn't have a rock history from the 60's. It's a bit jazzy, slightly more experimental yet totally punk. These LWC recordings are the unedited tapes of the show. This is another unique HC Italian band. I'm unaware of any official release by them. They are on disc 3 of 5 w/ USELESS BOYS & WAR DOGS.

03/27/81 Dominion Theater cdr 1 A+ I'm pretty stingy with my A+'s. The moment I heard this I was astounded, like yer right there. I love that one lp with Ant Music, that whole double drum sound. Really, one of the few perfect albums. Their other records don't get a great groove as well as that one.

Adolescents --- Approximate Hours: 2.5

12/09/01 El Rey Theatre cdr 1 B+ On cdr w/ The CROWD, SCREAMERS, FEAR CIRCLE JERKS/WEIRDOS. Each about 15 minutes full set each. Benefit for Flipside zine. My friend Mark and I drove up from San Diego to attend the show not stopping to think something like this would be totally sold out. It was. He scored 2 tickets from a security guard for face value. I'd never heard the ADZ be4. Soon as their song 'Amoeba' came on me and Mark were just beltin' it out especially as we'd spent that whole afternoon at the amazing, wonderful, massive Amoeba in Hollywood. What a perfect gig this was.

11/06/82 Unknown cdr 1 A Wot a story. Blues singer in the 20's through 50's. Went to work in an old folks home. Rediscovered by European jazz fans when in her 80's. She agreed to do some records & shows only if they wouldn't tell the nursing home staff her real age or they'd make her retire. Went on to make 5 lps and a live video. This is the first live show I've seen of her's for trade. Belts it out, wryly. Passionate songs about her man and bein' lively all with a voice in her 80's that is a national treasure.

When cable first came around it had more experimental shows and this was maybe the most experimental national one not on pay cable. NWT just put the L.A. area punk bands on TV along with this talkative host who was brassy? Tragically, he was murdered in the early 80's.

08/01/68 The Peter Sellers Tape cdr 1 A There's no question that a coupla songs like Why Don't We Do It In the Road and 1 other, also maybe Helter Skelter, were something recognizable to me when punk came along 10 years later and I took the plunge.

04/17/96 Cumberland Arms, Byker cdr 1 A This is possibly the finest recording quality show in existance of BK. Sadly, that means there's no other A shows around least that I've found. Bummer.
05/14/96 Democrazy cdr 1 A- I have one show of them on cassette, I think like from North Carolina or someplace and the first song has reverb. It's great. Then she asks, "No more reverb" and that's it. Possibly the only recorded song by them on reverb.

07/22/79 Polliwog Park cdr 1 C w/ Keith Morris. Worth hearing. Once. Wish someone could clean it up.
??/??/80 80-81 demos and New Wave Theatre cdr 1 A NWT on USA Network about 1980. It was startling to see real punk rock on TV. Course, it was a new cable channel, USA network in its infancy, but it was partially national. On about 11:30 pm or so. Yow. 32:03 total.
04/??/81 Damaged Demos - Golden Age Studio cdr 1 A- Mine doesn't mention Golden Age Studio. Mine says w/ Dez, complete, 14 trax.
07/04/81 Electric Banana cdr 1 A- I coulda been a contender. I went to the first half of this show, my friend went to the 2nd half, with, of course, BF. We only had enough $ for one ticket. Doh. Least he got to see 'em.
??/??/81 North Park Lions Club cdr 1 B Today I still blast off hearing their first four years stuff. Now I gotta get Everything Went Black on CD cuz it's all the original singers doing the old songs. With Greg Ginn's incredible definitive punk rock guitar and pre Henry, man, that's the stuff. Blasto.
??/??/82 Studio cdr 1 A- light hiss. Says complete demo. Last 2 trax (of 14 total) are FM including brief interview. 14 63:19
06/27/86 Graystone Hall cdr 1 Last show. 15 songs. Last one (Louie Louie) cut. Everything they released after the Damaged LP was 95% garbage. And then the 2003 Palladium 'Early Years' show with Greg and Dez and some other 'who's this guy' singer and a DRUM MACHINE! man, it was THE WORST! punk reunion gig of all time. It is impossible for there to ever be a worse one. I was saying for weeks after that it killed punk rock. Turns out that was the total waste of time speaking. I was being flamboyant about it. Still, it's incredible how much a difference it made that Keith Morris and the other original BF members were not there. Funny thing is, my friend invited me to see Keith singing with the Rollins Band earlier that year at the intimate Casbah in San Diego. I didn't go thinking the tickets I had for the Palladium show would/could be brilliant. Turns out from the few cdrs I've heard of that Keith/Henry show when they did BF songs, That was what we was lookin' for. Much like when Keith sang 3 old BF songs with the half Circle Jerks/half Weirdos band at the El Rey 12/01. Whew doggy that blew our minds. Oh well.

12/04/83 St. Zeno church hall: Last White Christmas cdr 2 A- Syd on vocals. Antonio on bass who came to my house in San Diego from Italy 7 days after the LWC gig with the tapes of the gig and together w/ his friend who came w/ him who only spoke Italian and my BCT punk partner, Dave, we made 2 official BCT (living room punk label) tape releases of the whole gig from the unedited tapes and reissued 2 cds in 2002. These LWC listings are the unedited tapes transferred to cdrs 11/06 (Thanks Steve). 19 songs on disc 4, 1 song in the middle of IRI!'s set on disc 5 then 5 more songs at the end of disc 6 from the LWC plus 12 more songs from an unknown gig. I consider this LWC material to be their finest ever, live or studio. They did 2 7"s, a split tape that was later pressed as an lp in the UK, a live lp and some scattering of tracks on BCT. One could call this musically in the spirit of the GERMS without at all being derivitive. It's basically ultracore, about the hardest HC I've ever heard that has no metal and no gruff 'i've got the mic in my mouth' vocals and is strictly pure HC. Italian HC is unique in the world. There is simply no HC like it from any other country and the LWC gig, put on by the punk collective the GDHC, preserves what I consider to be the finest punk rock gig ever recorded. On disc 4 with A'USCHALG & IRI! and on disc 5 with IRI! & TRAUMATIC and on disc 6 with TRAUMATIC. My car seat is not solidly stuck in right cuz every time live CCM comes on I'm thrashin' and blastin' and singin' my heart out (if mom is reading this) whilst driving quite safely. Usually like at stop lights and such. Really mom. I'm not kidding.

08/30/02 Strawberry Music Festival-Camp Mather-Main Stage cdr 1 A- Frustratingly, even though Dan Hicks was apparently from San Diego (but they did their music in S.F.) I always missed them when they played like the Belly Up (north S.D. County). I'd see the show listed in the weekly Reader like 2 days after they played. Happened maybe 5 times over the years. I finally saw them about early 07. Even tho 35 years had passed it was still A) Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks B) humerous, tight, swingin' and fun. Real glad I got to see them. You could see Dan was the heart of the band. Makes all the difference having the Hot Licks.

One of those perfect records where every single song totally works. True perfection. They were never better. Never did see them. Was going to at SDSU when I got the mumps in my 20's! Had a bump in my face that made me look like I had a rubber ball in my mouth. But the wife went (still married to her!) and she totally dug it even tho she's not a punk like her aging husband. Their cover of that Japanese cartoon show song, 'Gigantor' is so incredible. Certainly one of my favorite all time songs. I can tell cuz I ALWAYS turn it up and sing along. Loud.

10/28/80 Music Machine cdr 1 B+ 36:11, hiss. lst show with Cal singing. I find good quality live shows by Discharge are rare. Never did see them live. Bummer. Saw GBH about 83. Too bad 1985 Discharge went lame. Oh well. Their 7"s and Why 12" and Hear Nothing See Nothing lp are still incredible. Helps explain why there's all those Scandinavian Dis bands. In the punk heyday of 79 to 84 the punx with punked up leather jackets maybe 1 in 3 even had Discharge on the back, least in San Diego and L.A. Goldenvoice, the tour folks who did punk shows, would fly them in, as well as GBH and 1 or 2 others, at least once a year and they'd play Santa Barbara, L.A. and San Diego, I don't think elsewhere, and fly back. Pretty smart really. I listen to their first 7 records and it's as pure, beautiful, sweet HC punk as you can find. Definitive.

This is 8 trax. Track 1 is ERASERS w/ Robert Quine 1 track, opening act. This show apparently was at 3:30 a.m. That No New York scene w/ the perfect No New York comp lp produced by Eno is a moment in musical history and DNA is part of that noisy, blast out citified punk. It's almost too sophisticated to call punk. I love these guys but I can only listen to so much of it.

I am a moron. And now he's dead from smokin' all those cigarettes. RIP man. Good guy. We'd check in with each other over the years and note how he picked the full on punk path while I picked the work and family one with a toe (or foot) in the water of punk (though in the early 80's I spent 30 hours a week on BCT, course, it was a non money maker so that was pretty indulgent, course, that's punk rock too. It barely paid for itself w/ no salary! Ha.) Best recording quality live show I've ever found of them.

11/15/77 Old Waldorf Theatre cdr 1 A- I like the skinny Elvis. His first LP stuff was the first New Wave sorta stuff I heard in '77. Problem was, I asked my younger brother about it cuz he was a guitarist, and he said, 'Oh, he's just a guy who plays guitar a little differently'. And that sent me off the scent of pursuing punk rock for like 1 1/2 years till 1978 sometime. Ugh. I had no idea I'd plunge totally into HC.

Lots of personnel changes but always Mr. Lee Ving. About 2003 I saw them at Brick by Brick, a fairly small club in San Diego. It was packed. Lee Ving sorta looked like his dad might, weathered and aging. He had like 3 Mexicans/Chicanos as the rest of the band. It was the hardest core show I've ever been too. At least one guy got taken out by bouncers just completely blacked out. It was a very lively show, to say the least.

About 10 years ago I was at a used record store and they were basically gettin' rid of their cassettes, all about $1.50 each. I noticed Sinatra after Sinatra tape and decided to buy 'em all, about 20. I mailed him 18 of them and never heard back cept his thanks for 'em. He passed away about a year ago and his daughter told me recently when I asked about them that he cherished them and had them close to his bed so he could listen to them at will and did so all the time.

They played the World Beat Center and then were added spontaneously to the bill down the street at the tiny punk bad I think called the Velvet, in San Diego. Great guys.

Pat Smear had the best punk haircut of all time, long to his elbow half and other half bald. During the show he leaned against the wall the entire time. Darby musta said 20 times, "Somebody gimme a beeer". The two of them appeared to drink a bunch of 'em both wandering around in the audience together during the opening band's set. During the show Darby climbed onto the top of a double stack of tall speakers. Great show.

Jad Fair had a mic and some sorta distortion mic used well and played his electric guitar the whole night, not plugged in. On purpose? I'm guessing yes. Very nice guy. I love these guys. I have all their records, but gave away their most recent one, Hello, it's horrid. I made a hits cdr of their best songs from their first records and then another one of their 90's ones. Fantastic stuff, cocophony on purpose, driving, and great musical ideas relentlessly. Course, if you don't like Jad Fair's voice which is, uh, speaky most of the time and sorta geeky sounding, yer gonna hate 'em. These guys stand the test of time for me cuz the music is so unpredictable and they can really drive musically. They're rockers but disobeying the rules. No music business manager has gotten ahold of them and formed their music for mass consumption. Some of my favorite songs ever come from HJ. I can't get my sea legs on 'em which is a good thing. They keep surprising me year after year.

01/09/04 Che Cafe UCSD cdr 1 B I recorded this. Houston's finest punk. Their only actual tour since 1979. I ordered their recent cds in '03 and asked if they'd toured. Soon I was sitting at the computer and arranged their 10 city 11 day Southwest tour mostly thanks to the MRR web site contacts. They did some of their great 79 7"s songs but speeded up. Brilliant. Their show the night before at the Smell in downtown L.A. was one of the finest I've attended in my life, maybe top 3 or 5. Breathtaking. I'd loved them for 25 years and never heard them live till that night and w/ those speeded up hits and their great songs and vocals, man I was in punk rock heaven. This night's show was a tick less fantastic but still satisfying. No question, one of the most overlooked high quality punk rock bands on earth. And they're still around. It's all about Houston for these boys. Christian has been the main song writer, guitarist/vocalist all these years since 1979 (78?). He's gone through maybe 20 to 30 drummers & bassists over these 30 years. This is the first of 2 shows I took my dad to. He really enjoyed it. He was impressed that the unchapparoned crowd of 15 to 25 or so year old punx were well behaved, full of energy and slamming while picking up anyone who fell. One punk asked him if he was a cop. I took a coupla pictures of him with Christian and another with a buncha punx with big mohawks. My wife said it looked like he was standing with a bunch of fish. I'm real glad he went.

This is one of those bands where the lst lp, LSR totally rules cuz it's a punk classic while each record after that gets less and less intense and punk and leaves me disappointed.

He visited us w/ his girlfriend in 1984. They went to Mexico for a vacation and when they returned he had the deepest tan/burn, it was in the center of his chest I ever wanna see, it went about 7 skin layers deep if there is such a thing. Ouch. They have one song here that uses that machine and it sounds like a bomb dropping and then exploding using all their instruments. Fantastic. 18 trax on disc 5 of 5 with TRAUMATIC & CCM.

That song on the radio, of course, Inagaddadavida was actually played like regularly and everyone was thrown off by how long it was, what? 20+ minutes. And they'd play the full song. Course, that was FM and FM was, at that time, much looser and less business oriented. Still, it stood out and it was so trippy. It really brought the psycedelic thang out there from that hippy time onto the air waves in a real distinct way. Never did think much of the album. And most folks pretty much had enough of the song after a year or something. But still, it was a blast that surprised and delighted.

None on the Boston mayor's plea the day after MLK Jr. was killed and the ensuing JB song interrupted by audience menbers as James settles them down. About 1975 or so I saw his show live in San Diego at the Community Concorse. Me and my date were 2 of the 6 non black folks there. It was one of the great shows to see and I'm sure glad I did. Total showman, tight horns. What was funny is I noticed he kept building us up, 'I'm gonna take ya higher!' and at some point later in the show we were goin' down the hill. Pure showmanship.

When I was a teenager the local FM station, KPRI, the DJ said the first person to come to the studio he'd give them the Cheap Thrills lp.

I was so jazzed. Fantastic record. Summertime, her version, is one of my favorite renditions/songs of all time.

10/09/88 FIMAV cdr 1 A These shows morph over the years. There's the before vocalist 88/89. Then either vocalist, Y. Eye or Mike Patton both do the same damage, scream. As the years progress the band gets more traditional, less harsh, overall. They sorta go across a broad sprectrum of jazz musical types. I haven't listened through any one of them so I don't know how much the dumb vocals ruin various shows, ruin to my ears of course.
05/14/89 Moers Festival, Freipark cdr 1 A- recorded bit low.
10/20/89 Bimhuis cdr 1 A It's like a less honkin' James Chance and the Contortions set. There's virtually no actual punk in it and certainly no screamer like almost all their post 1989 shows have.
11/03/89 Unknown cdr 1 A Tight jazz meets punk + soundtrack songs.
12/31/89 Puck Building cdr 2 A- recorded bit low. I don't see how the screamer vocalist adds to anything. To me it's a hinderance. Yea, I get it, jazz meets punk. But the vocals just detract for me, they don't add musically at all.

??/??/80 Unknown cdr 1 B+ low volume = tape hiss. could be mislabeled 7"s but no vinyl sounds. For some reason most punx I ever met never heard of the MAU MAUs. Heck if I know why. They did a live lp and at the beginning of the gig they're setting up and some movie orchestral song is slowly building and building till it creschendos and that's the exact moment the band kicks into a high velocity first song. Brilliant. They belong right along side the best DISCHARGE & GBH. Till 1985 when they and DISCHRAGE both went south, ugh.

This is 70% or so blazing psycho hc MEAT PUPPETS. About 20 minutes. I believe all from one show. Mine currently has only 1 track.
02/18/83 Bodies cdr 1 B+ I'd rate this B++ or A--. I taped it. Just a simple bar down the way from SDSU. The band came over to my house, I think after this show. Nice guys. I also drove up to L.A. at the El Senario club and saw them open for the URINALS mid week. After their gig I interviewed them for the small local zine Noise For Heroes in their van. They played me snippets of their upcoming lst lp. I was discombobulated to hear some country twang when all they'd released to that date was the unbelievable In a Car 7" which still today is one of the most intense records ever made along with their 1 song on the MONITOR lp that came from that same session. There's some trax from that 7" recording on the Rykodisc reissue of the lst lp. Those all by itself make that CD worth getting. Get it if you like severe early MEAT PUPPETS. 53:22.
02/19/83 Baccahnal cdr 1 B+ 45:53 I taped this. The audience was mainly there to see the band that the MP opened for. Most of the audience couldn't stand the MP music. Kurt goes, 'If you don't like it you can f off' in a very civil tone. The evening was actually sorta humerous.

06/15/84 boat anchored on San Pedro Bay cdr 1 B+ I'd rate this B++. I drove up from San Diego on a Wednesday night cuz MINUTEMEN were also playing. No one I knew wanted to do a 'school night' drive up and back to Pedro. It was definitely worth it. About 50 folks. Clear night, simple boat. Us and the band filled the deck. Moored just off the dock by a few feet. Standing only. 2 trio bands makin' plentya music in the quiet night time air. After the show I was passing Watt when he and a guy were saying the Double Nickles on the Dime 2xLP had just been recorded. Thanks Adam! He came upon another recording of this show, B rated, and on it he heard the guy talk to another taper. Turns out he hears the same short conversation on my tape cuz I was that taper. Yow. 54:57

I couldn't find anyone willing to drive up from San Diego so, darnit, I went myself and real glad I did. The boat was moored just feet from the dock. Night time, outdoors cuz it was one darned small boat for a gig. Standing only.

But they went on to do a national radio broadcast tour in 1979 and that launched them if ya ask me, that and the fact that they had catchy tunes and on IRS they had a real plan on how to break out. Obviously, leaving the punk rock path, but that's ok.
05/16/79 Roxy cdr 1 A- They played the Roxy, a theater that's long gone in Pacific Beach in San Diego County, in 1979. I'll never know if I was actually there or just imagined it. Bummer.

Too bad this recording isn't better. One of the early/mid 80's best Italian punk bands. They've since toured the U.S. an amazing 10 times. A feat not duplicated by any non UK punk band.

A bunch of old people at Petco Park 2005. (6?). Course, we were in our 50's! Like 15 teenagers there. Gotta admit, it was pretty cool. I liked that they looked so old and didn't seem to care, not like they gotta be pretty for us. Let themselves age. No hair transplats, no lipo, no Botox. Just be in shape man (I'm trying).

I declined always considering Henry's BF vocals to be the least best of their various singers. And I'd never cared for anything BF did after Damaged. I was also primed to see that 'Early Years BF reunion gig at the Palladium. Turns out Keith was brilliant on this tour while Greg Ginn and Dez + some non original BF singer and a DRUM MACHINE butchered BF songs, most of which were NOT early years songs just that pukey metalish durge drek. No question, the worst reunion punk gig ever, forever. Just awful. Worse by 3x than that horrid VIBRATORS reunion gig about 2000.

Impressive by both bands. 2 percussion guys just danced like crazy to some impromptu percussion before SANTANA began. Only the 1/8th of the audience could see them cuz of a barrier. I don't think they did it for anyone, just groovin' to the sweet percussion only SANTANA.
12/19/68 Fillmore West cdr 2 A Along with MALO & TIERRA, who, obviously never made it like SANTANA did, but they did contribute, SANTANA made the merge of Mexican music and rock. It really struck a bell for us Chicanos (I'm half Sicilian too). Very satisfying.

I got punished for only bringing one blank tape and liking the 2 opening bands enough to tape them so this SLITS show I missed recording the last 2 1/2 songs. Bummer. The band had a great attitude. I got to speak with the 4 not original members. The teenage co-vocalist, a UK-African gal danced like an angel. The music was mostly what vocalist/original member called dancehall, sounded like picked up a bit reggae. Only 2 real punkier songs. I really moved to the whole set. A great job of doing a reunion tour.

12/??/78 California Theatre cdr 1 A- I taped this on 8-track at home as it was simulcast on KGB-FM while I attended the show which was incredible. For the show they had a prop streetlight on the stage. I transferred the show to a cassette tape leaving off the last 3 or so songs foolishly with some other unrelated songs on the tape. Over the years I played the cassette probably 30+ times, often at night when driving to or from L.A. Meanwhile, I misplaced the 8-track. When I started trading Waits tapes in the mid 90's I discovered no one had this show. There was one big Waits trader but he only had like 15 minutes of it and wasn't trading it. A big Waits trader from CO came down (for business anyway) and helped me look for the 8-track. No luck. He took the tape and worked it to make it the best version it could be. So my cassette copy is what's out there in Waits trader land. Maybe one day KGB will rebroadcast that show and someone can get the full, bit healthier version. I spoke w/ Tom Waits last year and asked if he remembered what the date was of this show. He indicated he didn't have that sorta info in his memory.

08/11/96 Raven Theatre cdr 1 A Essential albums: 'The Heart of Saturday Night'. To me, the quintessinal Waits lp. At his 70's best. Really, the perfect album. Every single song, perfection. 'Nighthawks at the Diner'. One of the rare record company releases where the live record is filled with new songs, songs he mostly (completely?) never put on any other album. A taste, live, of why so many of these shows rule. 'Small Change' is really equally perfect compared to Sat. Nite. It's him a bit more mature musically. 'Swordfishtrombones' The best of his 80's period. His decades are distinct musically. My favorites are the 70's and 80's then 00's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great: 'Beautiful Maladies'. A greatest hits of his 80's period. 'Rain Dogs' One classy Waits 80's lp. 'Big Time' Show time. A true artistic performance. What's way cool is the VHS release and the album only overlap some of the same songs. You sorta get almost 2 different releases of Big Time. Very cool. ~~~~~~~~ Check It Out: 'Foreign Affairs' I like it. Never thought of it has his greatest work but nice. 'Blue Valentine' The title song is incredible. It's not a super strong lp. 'Real Gone' Finally out of the 90's bleak period. 'Heartattack and Vine' Part of a trio with Foreign Affairs and Blue Valentine. All equally strong on occasion but not real magnificent lps overall. 'Orphans' I'm not sure why this gets such adulation. I do enjoy it. And the idea of dredging up unreleased good tunes and songs released on someone else's albums and so forth, I love that. I covers generally the 90's and 00's which to me are his weakest of the 4 decades of his career so I'm not mad about it. I do like the big booklet, all the photos. I waited to get my on the cheap and ended up w/ the smaller booklet version. Still, an outstanding package compared to the typical release in the music world. Now, if only he and his wife would do this same thing with a 3xCD of his various live shows. Whew doggy. He's got so many songs he's done at least somewhat differently live and some really are done better particularly in the 70's when he does the perfect sound of an engine not turning over and of cars whizzing by and another where he mentions all sorts of very famous folks comin' over to the bar. Covering his whole career, it'd be a heck of a release.
01/15/98 Ulmer Theater cdr 1 B+ Be Careful: 'Closing Time' It's well worth discovering. The early years. Not really ready for prime time but good stuff. 'Franks Wild Years' That song rules. The whole lp? Humm. Maybe I should give it another try... 'Mule Variations' The lp that broke him big (thank you Epitaph, Bad Religion's punk label!!). I'm not a big fan of this lp tho. It just doesn't get off the ground. Maybe the best of his 90's releases which, to me isn't saying much. Tho, it begs the question, is a mediocore or even weak Waits lp better than the average release of another performer? Sorta. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Fans Only (not even that): 'Alice' Read dog. I don't get this. Listened once. Cannot get into it. 'Blood Money' What? I see why it was released at the same time as Alice. Both go nowhere. Maybe someday I'll get this record. I doubt it. I wanna love all his records. Just cain't here. 'Bone Machine' Which one is worse, this or 'The Black Rider' Bone Machine is so bleak. Off the charts bleak and dark. Black Rider is maybe less of a dud than BM but I still don't like it. Now, I did attend the opera summer 06 in L.A. and musically it was outstanding. A 10 member Waitsian orchestra including saw and xylophone. Now I'd get an lp of that any day. Some songs totally ruled. And the main singer, all of them really, tended to sound Waitsish. I asked the main performer and he said ya sorta couldn't help it cuz Waits wrote 'em. If only. The BR show available in taperland is not nearly as satisfying musically as the one I attended. If only I'd brought something to remember it by. Oh well. It's in my head, like any great show. 'Night on Earth' soundtrack. Uh, I've got the 12". Not impressed. Nothin' like a real Waits release. I'd like to see the movie, see how it fits that. Very low key. Kinda like a background only soundtrack.

I'd drawn a blank so I listened to 40,000 Headmen and the song after it like 20 times in a row and, lo, I came up with an idea for the paper. I know, it was sorta plagerizing.

The BCT 60 minute tape we released with our favorite songs from CCM, IRI! & TRAUMATIC together comprise what, to me, is the best record ever made, all modesty aside. I'm just honored to have made it available to those who wanna hear it. And now it's 25 years after and it's still here, now, the unedited version. Thanks db.etree and all you great traders. 11 songs on disc 5 of 5 with IRI!

Show Date Venue Media Type Media Count Sound Quality Notes
??/??/39 US Punk, No Foreign Junk! dvd 1 B+ Circle Jerks is a blend of their NWT appearance and, possibly broadcast that way, interwined with another live CJ show of them doing the same song. Kraut, Screamers, Cramps and X each have a video, none particularly high tech but each with a concept. Considering they were made around 1979 through 1981 and done independently, they're not bad. The Fear from SNL is the best recorded and apparently the song that was cut off on its national broadcast is also cut off here. Screamers video they remain as motionless as they can while playing with a flavor of what Devo would do. X's song is Excene in what looks like an old timey black & white film. Together this is a good early U.S. West and East coast punk live and music video dvd. Fear is A, most of the rest is A- to B+. Some Dead Boys is B.

I knew they'd be loud. They've got that sound. Real regular fellas. The guitarist used 9 different ones with a guy tuning them up and handing them to him changing for virtually every song. One was a double neck 12 string w/ a 6 string. That keyboardist had his keyboard like welded to thick ironing board type legs and he leapt over it and lifted it up and played it on one end and all around treated about as close to a guitar or maybe acoustic bass as I've ever seen a keyboard treated. Darned fine show.

He'd do like $7, $8. We, United Front, put this on for $6.50. We did about 3 shows and our little cooperative of about 15-20 punx faded off. Tim went on to become co-owner of the Casbah and he's since had innumerable great bands play in town there. Great stuff man. Thanks Tim.
