Jarvis Cocker interviewed near the River Thames. Believe this is an MTV Europe feature due to the titling font. From the GaoBest video archive. Features promo cliplets from "His n' Hers", Jarvis asked about punk music, calling it more than a musical thing, but a social thing for people in the North.

Pere Ubu 1991-12-19 Crest Theater Sacramento Should also post this to SMA. From GaoBest, who recorded it with a Sony ECM 929-LT mics pluged into a Aiwa stereo cassette recorder, model unknown. He arrived late and had technical issues, so this is all that is extant. Tracklist Caligari's Mirror [0:00] Universal Vibration [2:46] If you want this in lossless, it's been shared by myself to The Traders' Den site, here: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3133942

Manic Street Preachers 1996-04-28 Maine Rd. Manchester Opening for Oasis Taken as a filler track from a GaoBest cassette with other things that are already on YouTube. Sourced from infamous taper/trader Alex The Red. At the grounds where Manchester City used to play before moving into the Ethiad. This is the last track "You Love Us", right before the crowd expresses their intense love for the headliner by chanting their name at the 3:57 point. Hopefully I can turn up the first part of this show, this circulates as there's a full setlist here: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/manic-street-preachers/1996/maine-road-manchester-england-2bd78882.html Reproduced the tape and J-card. The rest of it is online already.

This is taken from an MP3 transcode which I found on a data DVD-R which I burned about 20 years ago. No iZotope 8 or other AI-based tomfoolery for this one to match the work that went to rebalancing the board tape, though I'm not immune from using UVR5 for things...just presented as is, with the "is" being an Aiwa deck plus Sony 929-LT mics, which was borrowed gear from a D6 Deadhead which Mike had befriended.

Classic 2003 Ladytron set recorded by my friend Mike GaoBest. This is NOT the version that's already online on the Ladytron Blogspot, it's actually a different recording, but my Youtube post links to that one too.

A significant find pulled from the GaoBest archives, a previously unknown BBC Evening Session from Saint Etienne from their mid-90s heydey. Features a quartet of tracks...
