video: Another Victim - Arlington Heights, IL 12/19/98

I was going through a pile of old VHS tapes the other day, and I came across this quick set of Another Victim playing at YMCAin Arlington Heights, IL on 12/19/98.

Video: Undying / Judas Cradle / Wage Of Sin / Misery Signals

I remember driving up to this show in Seattle, as there was no Oregon date booked for the tour. Definitely not a bad way to kick off 2003.

Video: Extinction / Shai Hulud / Trial / Harvest / Ten Yard Fight

One thing that was always interesting in the 90s was how often various tours always collided in cities across America. This often resulted in shows with 8 - 12 bands on one bill, but they were never intended to be all day fests. This show on 8/9/98 at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago is one of those situations. Ten bands played that day, but the video I have only contains fives of them: Extinction, Shai Hulud, Trial, Harvest and Ten Yard Fight.

Video: Undertow - Vancouver, BC 12/13/92

Here's a full set of Undertow at Nappy Dugout in Vanvouver, BC back on 12/13/92. Once again, filmed by Ron Guardipee with his hi8 camera.

After converting the video, I remembered seeing some pictures from this very show on DCXX a couple of years ago, and they had sourced these from Tom Holcomb.
Edit: I was also just informed that the cover photo for the Stalemate 7" was also taken at this show, and some outtakes can be found on the website of Dave Larson's great podcast, Nobody's Nose.

Video: Strain - Vancouver, BC 12/11/92

Just converted a nice, early set of Strain from 12/11/92 in Vancouver, BC at South Wall, which was above the Mickey MacDougall Arena. This was a year after their demo, but still almost two years before their s/t EP on Overkill.

Video: Bane & Countervail - Portland, OR 3/16/99

Full sets from both Bane and Countervail at the Schoolhouse in Portland, OR back on 3/16/99.

Video: Brother's Keeper - Portland, OR [3/12/99]

Brother's Keeper's full set from 3/12/99 at the Schoolhouse in Portland, OR.

Video: Botch - Portland, OR [10/13/99]

Here's a full set from Botch at 17 Nautical Miles in Portland, OR on 10/13/99.

Video: Earth Crisis - Portland, OR 11/27/98

At the time of this show, Earth Crisis were out touring for the recently released Breed The Killers album.  I can't remember if Hatebreed dropped off of just this show, or the entire tour, but they definitely didn't play on this night.

Video: Quicksand / Snapcase - Portland, OR 12/10/98

From Quicksand's 1998 reunion tour, here's some video of both Snapcase and Quicksand at La Luna in Portland, OR on 12/10/98.

Video: Converge - Portland, OR 6/7/98

Video cuts in during the first track, but this is a full set of Converge from the second time they came to Portland at the Stage 4 Theater on 6/7/98.

Video: Turmoil - Portland, OR 4/5/99

The next installment from my friend Adam's video vault is this full set from Turmoil at the Spin Cycle in Portland, OR on 4/5/99.  I was actually out of town when this show happened, so I'm especially happy to be able to go back and see it now.

Video: Trial / Avail - Portland, OR 5/16/98

I recently got together with my old friend Adam to hang out for a few with our kids, and he handed me a stack of late 90s Portland videos that I didn't already have.  Virtually any hardcore video you see from Portland between 1997 and 1999 was filmed by him.
Let's start with Trial and Avail at Stage 4 Theater on May 16th, 1998.  I have no memory of the opening bands, but this show was pretty nuts during both Trial's and Avail's sets.

Falling Action / Backside Disaster - 8/22/98 Anderson, CA

I've been on the hunt for video of this show for years, and last week, I finally acquired it through an old friend.  With Falling Action, Backside Disaster, Crosstide and Stillmode, it's a great mix of late 90s hardcore and emo sounds.  It took place at the Under 21 Club in Anderson, CA, which is just a bit outside of Redding on August 22nd, 1998.

Video: Life Sentence Records showcase 1996

In 1996, Life Sentence Records had a showcase for the label at Showcase Theater in Corona, CA.  I transferred everything that was on a VHS that I have, but some of the sets are definitely incomplete.  If anyone out there has video of the full sets, please get in touch.

XCLEARX

Eighteen Visions

Focal Point

Lifeless

Excessive Force

Cursed - Porltand, OR 3/28/04

This was the first time that Cursed played in Portland.  The Dead Unknown went and did all of the Northwest dates with them and Breather Resist.  It was a great few days in all possible regards.

The audio gets a little janky at times, but if you ever saw Cursed play life, you should know that's just because they played so damn loud that they were undoubtedly overloading the camera's mic.

Indecision - New York CIty 11/1/98

A full set of Indecision playing at Tramps in New York City on 11/1/98.  This is shortly after Artie joined the band on vocals, as the vocals for the 1998 demo tape were tracked a mere two months earlier.

Triphammer - Portland, OR 4/4/98

From the same show as the XCLEARX set that I uploaded a little while back, here's Triphammer playing the Stage 4 Theater in Portland, OR on 4/4/98.  I only got to see them twice, but they were always great, and the singer's nose gushed blood from the time he opened his mouth to scream at both shows.

Sparkmarker - Bremerton, WA [10/10/92]

Full set of Sparkmarker playing a basement in Bremerton, WA on 10/10/92.
