Shudder To Think/Liquid Boy - DC Space, Washington DC 11-08-89

Liquid Boy were a very short-lived and mostly unheard DC supergroup that had Pete Moffett ( Government Issue, Dove) on drums, Robert Bowers (Government Issue soundman and former guitarist of West Virginia HC band Th'Inbred) on bass, Pat Bobst (Kingface) on guitar, and Eric Lagdameo (Red C, Double O,Dove) on vocals. They never released any records and this live show might be the only known recording of the band. Both sets were recorded from the audience and have good sound quality.

One Last Wish - Chevy Chase Community Center, Bethesda MD 9-26-86

One Last wish were from Washington DC and featured three former members of Rites Of Spring and the guitarist from The Faith. They only played a handful of shows and recorded but never released a record before splitting up. This show is an audience recording and is probable taken from a video source. There is a lot of tape hiss but is still very listenable.
