Freak Accident 4.0 & Victims Family ’89- Phoenix Thtr Petaluma 12/19/15 Multicam w/Matrix Audio

Well, I am finally figuring out how to record at the Phoenix Theater!This one turned out nice. Ralph from Victim’s Family headlined the Nostalgia Fest, and he put on a 2 hour show! First hour was with his band Freak Accident. I don’t know much about them but I bought their LP. Next (about an hour into this video if you want to skip there) was the 1989 incarnation of Victim’s Family. Ralph, Larry and Eric. They played pretty much a full set frm that era. It was excellent! Recorded with 2 Canon HFG30 and 1 HFG10. Audio via my soundboard and Jason Ellis’ Schoeps audience recording. Matrix done by Jason Ellis. And, as usual, Agelos put it all together and made it look great. He did a KILLER job on this one. Thanks to everyone.

DI- Thee Parkside, San Francisco 12/12/15 Multicam with Rode Audio D.I. DxIx

So much to say about this show. First of all, I saw a FB post that D.I. was going on at 9:30pm, and I was still at home at 7pm. So I scrambled and threw my stuff into my backpack and flew out the door. I get to the club at 7:25.. and the band 2 bands before D.I. had not started yet. D’oh! So, as a result, I had no USB drive for the soundboard and I forgot my mini-to-mini cable for my good mics. The sound is still good, but not perfect. Also, 2 of the 3 cameras decide to freak out because I put them on “auto” setting and the low red lights made them constantly adjust. Next time I’ll know better. But the show. BEST SHOW I have ever seen D.I. do, and I have been going to D.I. shows since 1987. It was an “early days” set- all songs from the 1st 2 LPs. The crowd was into it and the band is in top form.. so despite all of my whining about the video, it turned out really great. Thanks to Agelos for his careful editing of this one- you can tell he enjoyed the show as well! Thanks also to Bobby Rio and Ed Tatar for the OK to film.

Machado Thunderfinger- Corner Pocket, Citrus Heights CA 12/12/15 Full Set

The second and final night of tribute to the mighty Magnolia Thunderfinger, this time at the Corner Pocket in Citrus Heights. Laser lights and auto focus resulted in the camera going in and out of focus for the first 20 minutes before it was corrected. At first the whole set wasn’t going to be posted, but here it is, with a little touch up. It’s really not too bad to watch at all. Soundtrack is a matrix of soundboard and camera audio.
