    I was the taper of this show, as well as the one four nights later, also at the Mabuhay, on June 1, 1979.

    Both this show and the June 1st show have been shared before over at Dime by teetering with my blessing.

    As it dropped off of Dime a few years back, I am very happy to see it shared again here on your blogspot.

    This was recorded on a small $65 Panasonic mono cassette recorder, which had no built-in limiter, so when I used a decent brand of tape (as I did here) they came out pretty nice. Teetering did a bit of balancing of my rip from the original cassette, which I had to put into a new case to rip, but otherwise it is as I recorded it that night.

    The first song or two were recorded from a table about 20 feet back from the stage, then I moved down to the front, and recorded the rest about 3 feet from the stage, right in the middle.

    I also took a ton of photos at both shows, color and b&w. that all of you are welcome to download and enjoy, with the understanding that they are copyright © Clay Holden 1979 and are not to be used for any commercial purposes.

    Hopefully they will help put the listener right in the middle of the room where she performed this night.

    I did some digital restoration when I scanned these from my original negatives a couple of years ago, and having put the effort into restoring them to my satisfaction, saw no reason to up them in crappy low-res, so here are my color photos from this show, at 600 dpi:

    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eg0hinlms7gbj8a9vo840/Nico-Mabuhay-Gardens-SFO-05-28-79-600dpiColor.zip?rlkey=z5oqtzznzu94nu5de282kycn8&st=z4ippg6b&dl=0

    And here are my B&W photos from that show, apparently only at 300 dpi:

    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eg0hinlms7gbj8a9vo840/Nico-Mabuhay-Gardens-SFO-05-28-79-600dpiColor.zip?rlkey=z5oqtzznzu94nu5de282kycn8&st=z4ippg6b&dl=0

    If/when you share the June 1st show, I will share my photos from that one, along with an amusing personal story of talking with Nico during a break in the show.

    (And if you don't have access to the June 1st show and would like it, let me know here, and I will get it to you.)

      Sorry, wrong link for the B&W pix, use this one instead:

      Also, this archive is *not* the one I worked on with Keetering, it's one someone else put out with some utterly crap photos listed as 'Artwork' that I did not take, did not approve, and no acknowledgment of our work.
      I hope the audio is the same, and no fault directed at you, just that this is not the version that teetering and I released with my approval.

      Well, would be nice if you would *at least* acknowledge my comments and shares, as you did with my share of my Dee Dee Ramone at the Kabuki photo.
      Otherwise, I won't waste my time in the future sharing my work with you here.

      Sorry, I forget that a lot of folks still have a life and job responsibilities; I've been retired now for almost 2 years and am online all the time. Sorry for the 'grumpies'...

      I'll keep an eye out for you sharing the June 1st show if you've got it; or you could post a reply here and I'll upload it somewhere you can grab it and share it here; it no longer appears at all over at Dime (nor does this one).

      I finally checked them out. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it when anyone shares memories of the shows I post. Actually also have to do damage control with the GF who I somehow to neglected for several days because they all blur together and I have been trying to complete a simple task and reply to some emails for a few weeks. If this or any project got high traffic engagement I would have to splatter it with ads so I could pay a social media manager.

      The pictures are actually amazing, especially 0006.

Announcement: "You Didn't Get This From Me" Soundboard/Pro Shot Megadrop from Port Chester, NY

 Once upon a time I would have grabbed everything and figured it out later. Grabbing Testament and that's about it.   https://www.guitars101.com/threads/you-didnt-get-this-from-me.843644/ Feel free to recommend something else but I can't even keep up with Bun E's Basement Bootlegs so not sure I even care about recent Cheap Trick.     Edited to add I didn't realize there was too much to fit in 1 post so I got the Iggy vid too.   Edited again to add: All gone but at least there's a big new music drop here tomorrow tho I am getting sick of writing info files and going to bed.

My Want List

it's been awhile, write to ijwthstd AT yahoo DOT com if you can help     **ETERNAL WANT LIST**  (Nothing added since Dec 25 post, just bumping to the top for new users) In this total media universe with everything at my fingertips, individual shows have taken on a lot less importance, however I still want to get my eyes and ears on these. This was copied off a much older list where I deleted several found titles so it's not impossible I'd say I have plenty to trade but I stopped withholding stuff for those purposes years ago. I can always offer up the super secret Mystery Drive list of my friend's rare masters (1971 to 2017) and pull something from there. Really one of the only things I am hoarding is that list only to preserve my sanity. Remember your hoarded recordings are only worth something while there are still people alive who care. Therapy? @ Whisky A Go Go Nov 1992  (this was recorded) Therapy @ The Roxy 5/4/96 (saw this on a list of Westwood One shows,...

I Commited An Offense That Results in a 3 month Pixeldrain suspension

Yet it still seems to work. Basically found a file on Sharemania from some ridiculous overrated act I don't even like and won't name from Coachella then reuploaded for a friend who was looking for it but could or would not navigate the original site it was on.  Though I renamed it wedding video it was still pulled immediately and I was told it would result in a 3 month ban from uploading and my IP address would shared with the rights holder. Oops. Of all the aspects of my life requiring extensive troubleshooting, finding a new provider that will keep the files as long as Pixeldrain isn't one of them. So if that happens, it will likely just result in a 3 month hiatus. Any possible legal action? Likely not survivable but we all know this level of passion and involvement comes with it's own risks. See ya all tomorrow. Maybe.
