Todd's Tapes

Way back yonder in the 90s I packed up a Dodge Caravan and headed west. Broke, naive and yearning to put my film school education to any use whatsoever I started recording San Francisco's bands with a meager 8mm video camera. My mission, to record performances. I placed myself near a speaker, video camera mounted on a tripod and hoped the sound and video were captured in such a way that as much of the musician's performance and their music were preserved as faithfully as possible. Sometimes my mission was successful, other times it was a mess. The end result was about 200 shows on over 130 tapes and I'm working to get them all uploaded to this here YouTube. Welcome to Todd's Tapes. Have fun.
