Here it is, the infamous "Shellac Pistols" bootleg (as I like to call it).  I gave a copy to Bob Weston years after it happened, and he gave it to at least one person who wound up putting it online in .MP3 format.  I figure now that it's been out there for a while, I might as well seed a .flac version here.


I recorded this using 2 PZM microphones > $70 Aiwa cassette walkman.  
Transfered it using my Nakamichi CD2 cassette deck in to my Dell computer.  Saved as .wav files, and converted to .flac (level 8)


Remember... this is just an audience recording on analog cassette.  I have not EQed this at all.  EQing it on playback helps a lot, but I wanted to seed the actual master.

No one knew that Shellac were going to play as the Sex Pistols.  David Yow came out on stage, and everyone freaked.  I've included a picture (the only one I've ever seen) taken at the show.  Some people were -complaining- after the show that they came to see Shellac, and didn't get to see them (since they didn't play through their normal instruments / amps, they sounded nothing like Shellac...).  These people are fools.  There were part of "indie rock history", and complaining about it.  The best part of the night was the fact that the guys never broke character.

Last Call / Brief Intermission

Image
I am completely out of storage options unless I wanna resurrect my FileFactory account, and that would just be rude, so I am going to have to start emptying out the Mega + Google accounts, at least until I can use WeTransfer again. So get it now because once they are gone, they are not coming back. But I don't have many new transfers, Jan is always a dead month for anniversaries and I wanna finish my book which often involves stopping and playing the songs mentioned within for the full immersive experience. So when I finish the book I will empty out the Mega account and post some more shows. Probably not going to reach the level of intensity of the last year or so however which is why I am not spending / taking donations etc. Decided to pump the money into hard drive and better storage options for my physical media.  In the meantime I was been trying for a few years to get audio resynced to a Jessica Von Rabbit video and the same person filmed Mudhoney from against the stage but
