Motorhead- California Theatre, San Diego Ca 11/29/85 xfer f/1st or 2nd gen VHS tape Complete Show

You get an early video collections post and a late audio one today. I think this one is pretty rare- Megadeth (opener) is on YT but I don't see this one.

I am still having some issues with the lossless VHS transfer setup- I think I will set up a 2nd one and start using that, then wipe/reinstall everything for this one. The big issue is with stutters- it will hang up and then speed up for a half second. Let me know if you see any. I did see a blast of diginoise at the 14 min mark. I will end up re-doing this one anyway to see if I can make adjustments in virtualdub to help with the brightness/over exposure. When it is like this, it is usually impossible to fix.

This is from Chris Eng's collection. I think I remember him telling me that even though taper Cliff Cunningham did not trade, he met with him and copied from his tape. There are some signs of generation loss so I can't tell if this is a 1st gen or a copy from Cliff's safety copy. Anyway, new old Motorhead!

This one is sentimental to me since Motorhead came to Sacramento a couple days later and destroyed my hearing at Oasis Ballroom. Imagine all of those cabinets in the Oasis. Insanity.
