Western Addiction- Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco Ca 5/2/24 4K UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Rode audio

This 2 night run of RKL shows had the best lineups I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to record a soundboard source on night 2. First I was busy setting up cameras and then the soundman was busy talking to someone so there was no chance to plug in. So audience audio only for these sets.. which would typically be fine with the schoeps but the mix in the room was not great. I was talking to Shawn (RKL TM) and bottom of the hill has this new sound system which creates some crazy dead spots in the room… one of which happens to be located right where I usually video. I think Tromster used the Rode mic located in the back of the room for the audio source here. Speaking of the back of the room camera, I figured out how to wedge a 5th camera into the club- I used a clamp on the plywood in the soundboard area. It wouldn’t level/point at the band so I used binder paper on one side of the clamp to get the angle right. Total MacGyver shot.

RKL- Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco 5/1/24 4K Multicam Multitrack audio FULL SET Rich Kids on LSD

Here is a super special one for you all today. RKL’s TM (Shawn) was kind enough to send me his multitrack mix of RKL’s set from night 1 of their 2 night run at Bottom of the Hill earlier this year. Not only that, he also gifted me with 3 gopro angles. Aside from the Santa Barbara live stream, this is the best of the 2024 RKL run imho. Thanks Shawn!

Seized Up- Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco Ca 5/1/24 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix audio B’LAST!

Here was the surprise of the 1st night of the RKL SF shows. I saw that Seized up was added to the bill and it sounded vaguely familiar, but it didn’t click with me until the day of the show. This is the new-ish band with Cliff from B’LAST! on vocals, and members of Good Riddance, The Distillers and Fast Asleep rounding out the band. They sound a lot like B’Last! to me.
The board mix was not rebalance-able, so I matrixed it with my Schoeps audio. Came out alright!
I could not get one of the gopros to power on for this set, so only 3 cameras on this one.

Cigar- Bottom Of The Hill, San Francisco, CA 5/1/24 4K UHD Multicam Soundboard Audio Fat Wreck Punk

OK, since Estebo asked for it, let’s do this one today…
I bought tickets for both nights of the return of RKL at Bottom of the Hill. I could not believe the openers that were announced after I had bought them- Cigar both nights(I have always wanted to see them), Seized Up (Cliff from B’last’s new band), and Western Addiction. What a nice surprise! Probably the best “band announced after I bought tickets” scenario other than The Misfits at Psycho fest a few years back…
Anyway, Cigar were fantastic. Their songs are pretty technical, so it is always interesting to see if they can pull it off live. They did and then some- holy crap, what a talented buch of guys and the perfect opener for a band like RKL. So happy to see them- twice!
Thanks to Shawn (TM) for the help with access to band, soundboard, etc. It turned out pretty good!
