The Brian Jonestown Massacre "That Girl Suicide" - at Starcleaners (September 16, 1995)

[@cutthumb]

The best least known rock and roll band in the world. This is a great upload, mate. Thank you.

[@basedsouljah]

The "I know what you want, but you're never gonna get it" Live version of the lyrics Anton started that alllll the way back in 95! INCREDIBLE HISTORICAL FOOTAGE!!

[@ToddsTapes]

Thank you SO much for this comment. It inspired me to dig out some more BJM footage from this show. I hope you enjoy it :). kzbin.info/www/bejne/inW2maV8hdOYZ8U

The bass driving the bus. So good!

[@lulugraphics]

Isn’t that Matt Hollywood?

[@neilwhitaker6284]

@@lulugraphics I asked the same thing a year ago but no response yet so can't confirm. Looks like him. I saw them in 97 and he was the bassist that night.

[@ryanstanbury9262]

Fantastic! I first saw them in New York about a year later in 1996 and have been a fan ever since.

Man I was born only 9 months before this. Always looking for the earliest BJM recordings. The quality of this is on par with more recent recordings even. Thank you!

OMG top shelf!

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

[@hermit2265]

[@johnnyonetake9249]

Wow...great live version

[@devonspina7656]

Also gotta add that the solo/riff part towards the end...damn....never heard that version before

[@Mira.kel7876]

It has to be, it’s sepia. I’ll see myself out.

[@lulugraphics]

Star Cleaners was an amazing venue. They played Purple Onion around this time too. Legendary shows… when Anton still drank… we all did back then.

Thanks so much Todd for documenting and posting this special time! Starcleaners ruled! Did you film the Dandys that time?

[@ToddsTapes]

Sadly no Dandys :(

[@nolagospeltracts8264]

Hollywood looking sharp! Where's Joel?

[@markfuller]

There's another "Todd's Tape" (December 16, 1995) where the same question asked. A reply said "He [Joel] posted this on Facebook today: 'Filmed during the 3 month period I had to split town for getting too spun out and couch surfing too long.'"

[@basedsouljah]

@@markfuller Right on brother.

[@gilesshaw1476]

Everyone looks gorgeous!! Playing the bass like a God - Who was it??

[@optimisticmike1041]

Matt Hollywood

[@ash83]

Only two guitars ? Anton and dean ? Or was Jeff off shot ?

[@rhoderickjeffrey4622]

Circa 196* ? The opening just transports me to that era , though none of the music then was this good . Ok , some but not with the consistency that Anton achieves .

[@remdyxx]

i still love it

[@neilwhitaker6284]

Is that Matt Hollywood playing bass? I saw them in Toronto around 1997 and he was playing bass that night. It kinda looks like him at times but others not and the bouncing around doesn't seem like him.

[@greenman5555]

No Joel on tambourine!?!

[@mattsteele3031]

Cool. Thanks Todd.

I love these tapes! Were you buddies with the BJTM at the time? You really got in there early x

[@ToddsTapes]

So happy to hear you like the tapes! No I can’t say we were buddies. I was mostly on the periphery, friends with their friends. I feel lucky to have recorded the few performances that I could.

[@dougie6157]
