BORN/DEAD - December 27th, 2002 @ Burnt Ramen, Richmond, CA [AUDIENCE]

Another killer classic from the collection, for me at least.  I've listened to this CDR a bunch, recorded by John The Baker at Burnt Ramen. He recorded damn near every Burnt Ramen show around this time, from mics hung from the ceiling.  I had mp3s of a pretty fair amount of those shows and lost them in a hard drive crash.  Always back yer shit up!  I know someone out there has all these shows, because I saw a torrent for them at one point, but it never had seeders.  It would be awesome to get access to those at some point, if anyone has leads, that would rule.  Maybe I'll bump into JTB someday and ask him. So, yeah.  This was the benefit show for P.U.N.K. zine I believe. It was a killer bill.  Hellshock played this as well, I think I have the Benumb and Hellshock sets up at least.  Check the tags below and see if they come up.  Anyhoo, killer band that anyone that was going to Ramen shows around this time would have had to see a handful of times.  They were pretty great, and once again, I felt like as much as I liked them, I didn't really appreciate them fully until they were done.  At least some records and a few live shows and videos exist!  Enjoy!   - DH

NO LABELS - April 25th, 1983 @ Benny's, Richmond, VA [AUDIENCE]

Here's a rare treat, a live set from NO LABELS live in Richmond, VA in 1983!  I don't see these very often, though I did just lose an eBay bid on a tape lot that had a No Labels / COC show from 1983 in North Carolina.  Fingers crossed that the recording crosses my desk sometime in the future, I doubt it's the only copy but when it's 40 years later, these things get real scarce sometime.  Especially when it's live tapes of obscure and short lived bands.  So with that, enjoy this.  If you are familiar with the band then have at it.  If yer not familiar, it's basically a buddy band with C.O.C. in their earliest days, they may have even shared a member I think.  It's fairly similar.  Fast hardcore.  It's great, even if they are sometimes a little out of tune here. If anyone finds the flyer or knows the setlist, hook it up!  - DH

HELLSHOCK - December 27th, 2002 @ Burnt Ramen, Richmond, CA [AUDIENCE]

Dang, this recording is almost 20 years old now.  Blows my mind.  This was a killer set from Portland's HELLSHOCK, maybe their first time down in the east bay?  Or did they play another time before this?  I remember a couple Hellshock shows at BR.  Regardless, this is an early show in the band's lifespan, and I believe they still just had a demo as far as music that could be had at the time.  Burnt Ramen shows were also a bit of a blur, thankfully John The Baker was always there to record the sets while he was working the soundbooth.  These were just recorded with a couple mics up near the ceiling, but the caught a lot of wild nights.  I wish I had been diligent about getting copies of the shows that happened there.  Sad.  Anyhoo, I did get this one.  It rules, and has been listened to many times over the years.  Now you get to hear it too.  Hopefully you dig it, Hellshock is a great band!   - DH

BENUMB - December 27th, 2002 @ Burnt Ramen, Richmond, CA [AUDIENCE]

 I've had this CD for coming up on 20 years later this year, just after this show happened.  And I'm happy to share it out to a (hopefully) wider audience.  BENUMB rules.  They were badass live, and they, and especially Pete, were some of the nicest people I've ever met in the scene.  This whole post could be a love letter to Pete.  Pete's not your typical guy in the scene, but god damn I'm forever grateful he's around.  I won't get into personal stuff, just suffice to say I love Pete and he had a huge impact on my life.  

This show was a benefit I believe for the People Under No King zine, an enormous and awesome zine largely filled with the great photos Susan took around the area at the time.  I hope I still have mine in a bin in storage somewhere.  So this show had a bunch of local punx that were happenin' around this time, Desolation, Scurvy Dogs, and Born/Dead.  Plus fellow punx from Portland, Hellshock, came down for what was probably their first performance down here.  And then capping the night off was a lesson in killer grind via the mighty Benumb.  This was towards the end of Benumb's time as a band sadly.  Not sure if I ever saw them again after this night.  Thankfully this was a period in Burnt Ramen's history when John The Baker was always at the board, and he had a couple of mics hooked up to record audio of all the Burnt Ramen sets happening in those years.  I don't remember who I got this CDR from, but I got it pretty much right after the show.  Now you can download it and enjoy as well.
