- Taking a break from the weekday audio posts to ask the question-- what in the hell is going on over at KDHX in St. Louis?
I became aware of KDHX back in the 1980s, when my good friend Jim Utz would send me videos like this one (copied on VHS tape) in the mail. NOBODY was documenting bands like this back then, and I have always had a soft spot for KDHX- a community radio/TV station run by volunteers making a huge global impact.
Well, it seems that KDHX may have been bitten by the "corporate public radio" bug. They have fired many of the DJ's that made the station great- people who have been there for over 20 years and made KDHX what it is today. First the Board of Directors stated that those DJ's were encouraging listeners to not donate, then retracted that statement and said the firings were due to "combat things like racist and gender discrimination, and patriarchy and all of those things"... but did not back those statements up with any facts.
This is pretty disheartening for a person like me, who lived far away but was emotionally invested in the station. I'm still trying to understand why- are they trying to become another KEXP or KCRW? No need, we already have one of each of those.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling, and sorry to the VOLUNTEER DJ's who gave a good chunk of their lives to the station, who were just dumped for (apparently) no good reason.
Thanks for the memories, and for documenting all the great St. Louis bands, along with touring band bands like these guys. R.I.P.

The live version of Silly Girl is so damn good! love Milo's improvised vocals between lines.
I think clips of this are on RUclips but nothing this complete or high quality. Thank you Jim, Shayne & (the old) KDHX!!
Jim did not film this we’re are getting this from most of his stuff is utter crap I’m gonna get my hands on this and give I a proper fixing
@@u4tmradioThis is from his collection...didn't say he taped it.
Descendents forever and ever. Nos vemos en diciembre! 🇦🇷
Holy Moly! This is AMAZING! Wonderful GREtAT job, as always!!!!
Thank you for this as well as your current take on KDHX and the complicated state there.
if only i was there!! thanx to who put this up........a gobsmacked man!!
Best I've seen it this.... Thank you!!
This is quality!Making Manhattan Beach proud!
this is gold, thank you for, sharing !
I recall one of our very first trades was getting the Red Hot Chili Peppers 86 set from this venue. Good fuckin times!
Yes. Absolutely legendary community work done here
So sad to hear about KDHX- I lived in STL from 1989-97- I think I have a Red Krayola show Jim Utz taped from Cicero's.
Yup, that is the only one of Jim's dat board tapes I have posted here
These were good times
I wish you could hear the drums
oh my god, this is my fave band from my Berkeley days! Does being on the KALX list still mean that they don't card you? I have sweet sweet memories of helping Milo carry trays of lattes into the club 😆 thanks for posting
KUSF gone digital entirely and corporate raiders take over the radio station. KFJC,KALX, KPOO, still going strong…
Many years ago when we traded live shows by mail and people had lists of what they had to trade, I saw a 1986 St. Louis video on peoples' lists. They would also list owning this 1987 video as well. The comments claimed that it was very dark and almost unwatchable. Does anyone know if this actually exists?
This would probably look crazy good if the source file got ran through Topaz Video for some upscaling along with some basic denoise and clarity enhancements.
the fact that Bill Stevenson’s drums were neutered until 10:00 in is a horrible disservice. still an amazing bootleg but the Descendents are not the same w/ the drums so quiet
Agreed. It isn’t the descendents without hearing the bill. Even at 10:00 he’s really not much louder in the mix.
23:39 not very cool(idge) to spell it like that :)
