And today (Dec. 22, 2020) marks the 35th anniversary of d. Boone’s death at the age of 27 in a traffic accident. The axel fell off of his van while he was resting in the back. For punk rock in Los Angeles, that is the day the music died. Mike Watt did amazing work with fIREHOSE (and other bands) after that, but it definitely broke a part of his heart forever.

The story of this is that I had gotten to know the Minutemen over the previous year from seeing shows and usually taping them. Separately friends of mine had become friends of the guys who did sound and lights at the Stone. I had recorded them twice before there and knew the Stone had a 3 camera house video system so for this occasion I brought a blank VHS tape along with my audio recording gear. It was oked by the band to video along with audio record. The lighting guy did the lights and ran the video system. The 3 ceiling mounted cameras were remotely controlled from the lighting booth. I did a cassette audio master using a Marantz PMD-430 with dbx noise reduction at the front of house soundboard. The video just had auto level edge track sound on it which wasn't very good quality. It was back in 2008 that I brought the audio and video masters to a friend who authored a DVD and synched the far superior dbx cassette audio to the video. I shared it freely on a torrent website in November 2008. From there it made it's way around being re-torrented regularly since. At first only single songs appeared on KZbin but then the post limits were extended and the full show is now here.

One of the saddest things to me is the fact that the scene was finally starting to come around to the Minutemen and bands like them when they tragically ended. They endured getting booed and spat on and getting beer cans thrown at them by the hardcore scene that hated anything that was new and different, but watching this performance, you see the crowd is catching on and genuinely liking what they're doing, and knowing D. Boon would die only seven months later when it seemed like they were just on the cusp of becoming something even greater (and perhaps having an even bigger fanbase), it's actually heartbreaking.

Growing up near Boston in the 1980s I knew of the Minutemen and bought a copy of Double Nickels on the Dime at my local Newbury Comics, and I was really sad when I heard about D. Boon's death. But they never made a ripple on the E. Coast...despite their positive press from the music critics there. John Bernhardt of WMBR's "Breakfast of Champions" program (the first show that ever played Nirvana anywhere) *adored* the Minutemen and used to play their music...but, sadly, that flame never took. fIREHOSE fared the same.

I saw them about a month after this in the Kendall Cram Room in the Tulane University Center. (Hard to imagine it was also where my high school senior class photo was taken four years earlier... it was a conference room) I had been playing the hell out of their amazing double LP “Double Nickels on the Dime” on WTUL-FM so to see them performing all these great songs live was just amazing. Great video - but I have to shake my head at the director’s decision to occasionally switch cameras repeatedly in time with the music on a few occasions... the video equipment that was used couldn’t handle it and the video wobbles horribly and it distracts from the performance... but this was 1985, people were still feeling their way around with video production - and we don’t see that sort of thing nowadays because we learned our lessons along the way. I’m so grateful this was shot and uploaded here... this was EXACTLY how I remembered them (along with George Hurley’s hairdo). I don’t think the horn player made the tour with them. Wish I still had the “Post-Mersh” T-shirt I bought at the show... gave it to my son when he was in a punk band a few years back - I don’t regret that one bit - and the shirt was lost somewhere along the way. Somehow I think D. Boon would approve of that wholeheartedly. (Oh, I got to talk to him before the show! I had no idea it was him at the time... nice guy. R.I.P. to a tremendous dude.)
@cscroger6742 Жыл бұрын
Having attended Tulane '82-86 and worked for TUCP l recall a different timeline. So, unless I missed any Slam in the Cram Shows (which I doubt) here's when Minutemen were in NOLA: 1985 was indeed the Double Nickels tour and blasted our brains @ Jimmie's on Oak St (across from the street car station) while their only Cram show was 1983 for the Buzz or Howl tour for which I worked security in that tiny conference room: a musical game-changer! We all became instant fans. WTUL in 1985 would play the bass from Maybe Partying Will Help as one of their bumpers. They crushed both shows. Watt is now just finishing a tour as mssv.

And today (Dec. 22, 2020) marks the 35th anniversary of d. Boone’s death at the age of 27 in a traffic accident. The axel fell off of his van while he was resting in the back. For punk rock in Los Angeles, that is the day the music died. Mike Watt did amazing work with fIREHOSE (and other bands) after that, but it definitely broke a part of his heart forever.

Too true. There's a talk on YT given by Mugger and Joe Carducci at a NYC bookstore back in 2017 and Joe says flat out that Mike Watt became a different person after d. Boone died and the loss of the Minutemen kind of made the situation at SST go from bad to worse.

Yeah well, it took an enormous amount of work to get it like this. The video system put a glitch at every camera change. Those were addressed as best we could and took a lot of time. The dbx cassette sbd was slightly different speed from the video so it required a lot of time to synch the audio. I don't think the DVD format could capture the full resolution of the video tape and then I bet KZbin did some data compression on the uploaded file to reduce the storage space needed. The VHS master is now 37 years old but it was a top quality premium Maxell so it is probably still pretty good. The audio is on a Maxell metal tape so also as good as was possible at the time. If Mike Watt is interested I'm ready to provide them.

Punk rock as it should be, no 10 guitars lined up on stage one for each song, intro, chorus, climax, next intro. No vaporous talk between the songs, just letting the music reach out to the music.
