Ghost - Bottom Of The Hill, San Francisco 6-06-95

Ghost were a heavy Psychedelic Rock band from Tokyo Japan. They released six albums in the 1990s and appear to be still around today. This show was recorded on one of their West Coast tours. It's an audience recording with good sound quality. And, it's from the master tape. Can anyone help with song titles?

Hijokaidan - San Francisco 1993 + 1996

Hijokaidan was a noise band from Kyoto Japan that formed in 1979. They had many releases and toured the U.S. several times by the time of this live recording. For the Cyclone show they only played for 11 minutes so I added the other bands that played on that show. Skozey Fetisch were from San Francisco, Crawl Unit were from  the Bay Area and Daniel Menche was from Portland Oregon. The Hijokaidan discography shows that a recording of the Cyclone show was officially released in Japan on the Noise From Trading Cards CD in 1997. It's probably not this recording though. These are audience recordings and sound quality is good. From the master tapes.

Long Lost

It's been a while since I've posted anything but the blog ain't dead, yet. 2018 was not a good year for me. I was unemployed during February, March and April. After applying for many jobs that paid decent and not getting anything I had to go low and take a dishwasher job just to pay the rent. After a couple months of that I couldn't do it anymore for various reasons. After a few weeks I had to take another low job as a busboy in a French Restaurant and it is thee lowest paying job I've ever had in my life. At the end of last August I had a cycling accident and fractured two ribs. That's the most pain I've ever had in my life at one time. I was out of action for one month, although, it took until December until I didn't feel any pain in my ribs anymore. While I was recovering my landlady told me she was moving in her boyfriend and he was getting my room. So, I had to move out. In October I moved to a new place and it has taken some time to get everything organized. I finally got my stereo and editing studio set up this month and will be back to digitizing old tapes very soon. I have a few more shows from Japan to edit and post. Then some stuff from Australia and New Zealand, followed by some shows from the European Continent and then a ton of stuff from England. Keep your eyes on it. Thanks to everyone who sent me stuff or traded with me in 2018. I acquired a lot of great stuff, too much to post on the blog. Some of this stuff, though, I will be posting on YouTube. So, you can also check my YouTube page for more fun stuff.
