Raw footage shot at "Stairway To Headphones" in Minneapolis, 1997.  Tape 1 of 3.
This footage contains sections with Nigel Richards, Savage Aural Hotbed (live industrial/noise) and Josh Wink.  There were noise complaints that forced it to be turned down for long stretches of the night. For some of the footage though, you'll hear the infamous Wall of  Bass thundering in a warehouse with thousands of adventurous youth in attendance while the world sleeps.  The underground is massive.
