Built to Spill- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 9/29/24 4K UHD w/Matrix Audio Nothing Wrong w/Love Full show

I had some folks over at the Pacific Northwest Music Archive site ask for this specifically, so here you go. It’s funny- I was there more for Quasi than BTS although I do like them- casual fan. I now know what it is like to be on the “casual fan” side of these complete album shows. I get all amped about them when they are my favorite albums, and people were stoked for this, so that’s cool.
Jim Mclain also video’d them with multiple cameras. If you want to see that version of the video, he should be posting it sooner or later. I would subscribe to his channel (after subscribing to mine, OF COURSE) so you don’t miss out.
Huge thanks to Anonymous #1 (the original Anonymous) for the Schoeps/soundboard audio matrix.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy & Anonymous #1. Jim Mclain provided the soundboard audio for the matrix

Quasi- Harlows, Sacramento Ca 9/29/24 4K UHD Complete show Schoeps Audio Janet Weiss Sleater Kinney

I missed Quasi’s performance of Featuring Birds at the Chapel this past summer because I had COVID, but this was a nice consolation prize. Brian (Abstract Entertainment) brought Built to Spill to town and they had Quasi along as the opener, and they played almost an hour! They even pulled out that killer instrumental song off of R&B Transmogrification- that was a treat!
My friend Jim Mclain also filmed with multiple cameras- sign up to his youtube channel if you want to see that version, once it gets posted.
Nice to partner with my OLD friend (since 1987!) Anonymous. Thanks for the audio, it sounds great. Vocals were a bit low to start the set.
One last thing- I didn’t have my sh*t together because I was talking to friends, so this cuts in during the first song and there is another cut toward the end when I had a battery swap. Jim’s will be complete.

U.D.O.- DNA Lounge, San Francisco Ca 9/20/24 Multicam Soundboard LiveStream Udo Dirkschneider Accept

Zoran Theodorovic asked me something yesterday and I had never really considered doing this. DNA Lounge broadcasts their live streams for all of their concerts- multicamera with soundboard audio. I have been cptruing many of them over the past couple years, but I didn’t feel right posting them. It’s not my work and all I did was screen record and save. But since DNA Lounge does not seem to save/archive these, let’s give posting one of these a shot. I have a ton of them- Anvil, Peelander-Z and more just in the last month. If DNA or anyone affiliated with the artist or venue want this pulled down, just use the contact form at sacramentomusicarchive dot com and I’ll pull it down faster than.. a shark? Sorry.
One more thing about the DNA streams- some of them can be really bad quality. It looks like they fixed up the cameras for this U.D.O. one. The board audio on this is killer as well. Most don’t come together this nicely.
I was planning on posting a Rodney video today- that will happen next weekend.

A Wilhelm Scream- Goldfield Trading Post, Sacramento Ca 9/18/24 Schoeps Audio Master

Tour Manager Doug Tuesday is being postponed to Thursday this week- so instead, you get something I recorded recently.
A Wilhelm Scream opened the Strung Out/Adolescents show last month. Through a series of really boring circumstances that I won’t go into, I did not have time to ask to video, so I recorded audio only. One thing about the sound that night- every band had drums and vocals high in the room mix with guitars barely audible in comparison. I have had to boost guitar with all 3 sets in izotope, which is rare/unheard of for audience recordings. Not bagging on the sound man, I know sound is a challenge there.. but how odd. Good set- what a stacked lineup with 3 touring bands, but it would have been nice to see a local opener on the bill.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Schoeps CCM4 mics, Naiant Tinybox preamp, Sony A10 digital recorder
Rebalance in Izotope Rx8: I didn’t save settings, but it was something like guitars and bass +5, vocals +2

Adolescents- Goldfield Trading Post, Sacramento 9/18/24 4k UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Audio punk

The Adolescents “co-headlined” that Strung Out show a couple weeks back, and it was a really great set. They were playing songs that they had not played for YEARS- Brats in Battalions, OC Confidential, and Lockdown America… then I checked the album I bought at the show. The new record has re-recordings of all those songs. Hm. Great set.
The audio sounds better on this one vs. Strung Out since I was closer to the stage. I was almost taken out by the pit a few times so I moved back for Strung Out. Too bad, this sounds way better.
One last thing- I made a massive mistake. The band started abruptly and I had to hurry to start the G9ii, and in the process I started it and immediately stopped it again. I thought I was filming away until about 9 minutes in- I see no recording indicator on the camera. The camera was powered on but not recording. D’oh! So for the first 10 min or so, you only get the 3 gopro angles, then the G9ii kicks in. Speaking of kicking, I was kicking myself for that screwup.
Features Adam Gomez from The Dickies on drums!

Strung Out- Goldfield Trading Post, Sacramento 9/18/24 4K UHD Multicam w/ Schoeps Audio Punk

Strung Out and the Adolescents came to Sac last week and my good friend Tromster asked me to video the show. The venue was really small for this lineup and I didn’t have a ticket… AND the website was vague about tickets being available on the day of the show. So I just rolled out and hoped for the best, which is unlike me. I usually buy tickets and not go to the show, vs. not buying a ticket and going. Once I got there, I saw one of my show going friends (David) holding a sign asking for tickets. That’s when I knew I was in trouble. Luckily, a nice person from Roseville (sorry, forgot your name) had 2 extras and in we both went.
I got lucky that the TM’s were also selling merch. Strung Out’s TM Jon was iffy about it and asks me “you aren’t going to post the entire show, right?” and I was errrr.. I usually do… and he finally just said screw it and let me go for it. I think the big merch line I was holding up helped speed up that decision, haha. Thanks Jon! Daniel Blume, the band’s drummer was super cool and might have some additional footage to work in here as well. So, more to come maybe.
Great show and I got some really good shots of the pit, which I usually ignore because it is behind me or too far from my angle to fit in. In a venue this small, it was hard to avoid.

Soft Science- Bottom Of The Hill, San Francisco CA 9/14/24 audio

Recorded by: thehappyone
Equipment used: Roland R-07, with built-ins.

Had the input gain set too high, so somewhat brickwalled, but I’ve tried to do what I can in post to make it more listenable.

Tracklist

Soft Science is from Sacramento, of the shoegaze/dream pop persuasion, and as there’s a link to their KEXP session and a partial effort from the SMA principal back in 2018 when in Seattle as he was late and missed much of their set in the archives, I thought having my recording included would be nice as well.

There’s a few more ROIO-type efforts online that can be added at some point.

LOSSLESS FLACs for nerds but also contains photos and a brief vid clip as well.
