| J-Card Comment | Notes from the uploader (CBG5150) I only have one request, that you don't take these files and post them on other torrent sites. I have many shows to upload. I will upload, let them get seeded by others and after a majority have downloaded the files completely, remove my files so I can seed something new. I prefer to manage my own shows on DIME and The Traders Den. I will upload to other sites when I wish to for select shows. Thanks for honoring my wishes in advance. This is “CBG Classic Master Video Series Vol.10â€. In 1987, there were quite a few tours going around that made me wish I had started filming at the beginning of 87 but for some reason I just didn’t. I probably could have, but I don’t know why it took me so long (a year) after I got a job out of college to attempt it. I had been collecting the videos from Pierre and Otto for a couple years, so I really wanted to do this and I knew it. I just didn’t try it. Part of it was how do I get such a big camera into the venues I go to. I had been to all of these venues in the northeast multiple times to audio tape and they searched good mostly. I was crotching an audio deck the size of an 8 track tape (only you old folks will know that reference) all the time recording audio. I guess getting a video camera in was just not a thought for the arenas I was going to. It wasn’t going down my pants! Until you actually go through the security at arenas and think how could this be done, I guess it needs to be thought through and a plan devised, and it took me a year to get it together. The 1987 tours that came around were David Lee Roth with Cinderella warming up in January (on a second swing through the area), Ratt with Poison warming up in March, in New Haven and Springfield, the two places I started filming in. The summer was loaded, David Bowie Glass Spider stadium tour, Pink Floyd with a new album, Roger Waters out on his own too with a new album Radio KAOS, Aerosmith with either Dokken or a “new band†Guns n Roses warming them up, Def Leppard Hysteria tour with Tesla warming them up, Deep Purple with Richie Blackmore and Ian Gillian, Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet tour was blowing up and he had this new band Skid Row warming up that was taking off on MTV. U2’s Joshua Tree tour, Lynyrd Skynyrd reforming and coming out on the road for the first time in 10 years, Boston also reforming for the first time since 1979 with a massive tour, like 9 dates in the New England area and five in the Meadowlands. Did I forget the Michael Jackson Bad tour and Madonna ‘Who’s that Girl?’ Tours??? Yea right, Ha! I wasn’t going to those two shows. Iron Maiden was more of my speed and they were out too on the Somewhere in Time tour, and Motley Crue was touring for the Girls Girls Girls album playing 2 nights each in every city in the northeast with a hot warm-up band in Whitesnake that had a song on the radio all the time called ‘Still Of The Night’. Tawny Kitaen was repeatedly on MTV all over the hood of that car in their video ‘Here I Go Again’. Plus the new Whitesnake band had Tommy Aldridge of Ozzy’s 80-84 bands on Drums, Rudy Sarzo of Ozzy’s 80-82 Bands and Quiet Riot on Bass, Adrian Vandenberg of the band Vandenberg on guitar and then Vivian Campbell of Dio fame on the other guitar. What a band! What a year! What tours! It is not like this anymore. Unfortunately I was late to the punch for most of these tours. I saw all of them multiple times and did audio, but I had not started attempting to film yet, for most of these tours. And I don’t even want to bring up the 1986 tours I missed to videotape! UGH! I am so thankful that Pierre and Otto got a lot of those. So since I started filming at the end of all of those tours in 1987 (I’m taking a tums now L), when Whitesnake came back to the area at the start of 1988, I wasn’t going to miss my opportunity to see and attempt to film them this time. That was the great thing about the northeast, tours would come through once and then would circle around again for a second swing through the area almost always if they were big tours. So I was a lucky duck that way. This time Whitesnake was headlining. The Great Whitesnake tour. I didn’t film the warm-up band Great White. Sometimes I didn’t want to risk getting caught and missing the headliner I was really there to see. So I got in through the back door again in New Haven Coliseum. I look a lot more normal wearing a coat in January with the camera strapped to my back then I do in July! Plus it is more comfortable for me to not be sweating my butt off with the coat on since it is winter. Went to my usual seats and found one that was empty on the left side of the upper level and waited for it to start. I was all set but for some reason this night, and thank god I did check, I thought I didn’t turn on the external mic. This camera would not power the mic by itself like cameras do now, if the cam mic is not turned on itself. So I check it like 40 sec into the show just to make sure and it slides to the ‘on’ position. UGH. I forgot. BUT Remembered in the nick of time. Otherwise, as it turns out, no one else audio taped this show and I would have a complete silent footage shoot of Whitesnake to this day. There was no indication in the viewfinder that you were getting sound as you were filming back then on that camera. You just had to hope everything was working correctly and you would nervously check it after the show was over to make sure you got sound. Luckily I turned it on. I filmed the whole show I thought…but I made one other fatal flaw at the end. You live and you learn. Mistakenly I hit the pause button in the last song Tush (Tits) and thought I was filming it in the viewfinder but in the excitement of filming, I just didn’t see the pause button engaged in the viewfinder and didn’t get most of that song. Oh well. In the end, I was disappointed that they only played as long as they did, for a headliner, I expected a longer show. BUT they were hot and I liked the musicians in the band a lot for the time they did play. I missed being able to film them warming up Motley Crue, but wasn’t going to let this opportunity go by without at least attempting it. Good thing I did, because the band changed again two years later, out with Vivian and in with Steve Vai on guitar. I released this show back in the day on VHS tape, but this was the last show I released back when I began to be fed up with a guy selling my shows and making a living off them in record conventions, so this was actually the last show that I released back in 1988 and just ended up filming for myself from that point on mainly. It wasn’t until the mid 90’s that the NYBG and I partnered up for some of the very first multicam mixes of specific shows, which were released by him. Now some 25+ years later, we are able to present this show in a repaired fashion, the Providence audio from a few nights later on 1988-01-26 was used to replace the missing audio at the beginning of my video and then was used again with a slide show of pictures to finish out the concert with the song Tits. The Providence audio is so much better than the audio that my camera was able to capture. The camera in EP mode really made the audio portion of the video suffer. It is what it is. It was cool to see the Providence and Nassau Coliseum audios get posted to DIME in the past few months, thanks to the tapers for those. So for your viewing pleasure, enjoy Whitesnake headlining at New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut in 1988. CBG5150 posted to DIME on 2014-05-13. |
