Camper van Beethoven- Fillmore, San Francisco 4/26/25 Complete 4K UHD Show w/ schoeps audio

A big thank you goes out to Thomas Harvey, Morst, and David Basham for coordinating me a camera pass. With The Fillmore’s over the top security, there was no way I could have gotten my DSLR into the venue without them. Thanks and sorry night 2 didn’t go well with the security for you guys.

Even with the help, it wasn’t smooth getting to the venue and getting in with the camera. Massive traffic jams from Sacramento meant that I had to take the north bay- golden gate detour to save time, then the box office acted like they didn’t have my credentials (they did), then once I got them, they made me wait at the back of a huge line to get in…due to over the top security searches at the door. I finally got ready and to the filming spot at 8:28pm, and they went on at 8:30!

The angle is pretty decent and unobstructed for the first hour-plus. Greg is a bit distant but I did my best to keep him in frame. Zooming up would lose focus at times on Greg only. Then at about 70min in, 2 tall dudes come and I had to shoot between/around them, so this isn’t as good from then on. Why didn’t I move? Because that would have affected the audio quality, plus I knew security wasn’t going to bother me at this spot so I didn’t want to risk it.

I don’t know why the hell the audio is so low– I pushed it right up to max when I rendered the video for upload.. for 31 hours…

But wow, what a great show! Just an absolute killer of a setlist. Thanks to the band for coming from all corners of the world to make it happen. What a treat. I got to see songs performed that I never thought I would see. Plus, I got to film a complete show at the Fillmore, which seems like an accomplishment.

Oh, and the last 20min or so is not great because I am old and filming like this is like doing yoga, and my body was breaking down. I had a ticket for sunday, but I was a slug on the couch instead.

Subhumans- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 4/18/25 4K UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Audio England Anarcho Punk

Today has been pure chaos and it is only 9am! I just need to get to Aftershock by noon and all will be ok. Let’s do the collections post first today. This is the last of the BOB Fest videos that I shot, and what a show! The only nitpicky issue I have is with the gopro on the bass player, it is a bit off center but you need to guess when you set these things up and I guessed wrong.

Sorry to Dick- I promised him that I would have a multitrack audio mix for this, but Gilman changed their policy on that which is why this was all audience audio. Still not bad, it sounded good in the room.

Scene Killers- BOB Fest, 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 4/18/25 4K UHD Multicam Schoeps Audio Blatz Gr’ups

Here’s one that I video’d back in April. Jesse Townley (Blatz, Gr’ups, Criminals, Pathogens etc) and his band came over from England to play some shows here. They have 2 albums out and the latest is on Alex Botkin’s Lavasocks Records, so if you want one you don’t need to worry about overseas shipping!

I wasn’t able to get a soundboard but the Schoeps mics recording turned out pretty good. Jesse’s vocals and the guitar were a bit low so I bumped them up in Izotope.

Tension Span- 924 Gilman, Berkeley 4/18/25 4k UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Audio Neurosis Christ on Parade

Here’s one from my collection that I video’d back in April. Only 4 and 1/2 months behind on posting masters!

This Gilman show was one of the most anticipated shows of the year for me. I had been trying to see Tension Span for a while, but they don’t play often. They opened this absolutely packed lineup (w/Scene Killers, Enemies, Subhumans). I got there early and awkwardly hung out, as per usual.

This band is amazing and anyone who is into any of Noah’s or the other member’s work should stop and listen to this. You can hear shades of Christ on Parade and Neurosis in these songs.
Here’s what discogs says about the band: Formed by Noah Landis (Neurosis) (vocals), Matt Parrillo (Dystopia, Kicker) (guitar, bass, analogue synths, vocals) and Geoff Evans (Skaven, Asunder) (guitar, soft synths).

The Enemies- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 4/18/25 4K UHD Multicam w/ Schoeps Audio Lookout Records Punk

This was such a fun show and an amazing lineup. Tension Span, Scene Killers, The Enemies, and the Subhumans. It was like an East Bay Punk reunion!
I happened to see The Enemies the last time they played, before this. It was 10 years ago at the benefit show for AK Press w/Green Day and Bobby Joe Ebola. I don’t know if it was due to my familiarity with their material now, but this show totally blew me away. So much energy. Kudos to Larry Boothroyd for filling in on bass for the set.
The most heart warming moment that I have seen at a show in years happened during this set. Mike’s (guitar/vocals) 3 daughters were side stage, dancing along and singing along with the songs. They were probably not old enough to enjoy the experience 10 years ago. It was really cool.
The only downside to the night was the audio. I mean, Schoeps mics are really good quality, but I usually get either a board tape or multitrack stubs to mix down. They changed their setup and neither were available on this night. Bummer. Sounds decent in the room.
