Alright, get yourself a drink or something, because gramps is going to go on a while.
A couple weeks back. I had a rare (and I mean RARE) opening in my schedule where I had a 4 day weekend all to myself. I figured that it would be a good time to do my annual L.A. sweep where I see a show or 2, get gear fixed at Mark from Fet Electronics’ shop, and load up another car full of VHS tapes from Todd Nakamine.

I check show listings and see that The Dickies are playing Friday. Not only that, but their show was moved to Garden Amp, opening for Manic Hispanic. I love that venue! Huge thanks to the band for the help with the pass/access. I had an 11am appointment in downtown sac so I head out right afterwards… aaand I-5 is closed due to an overturned big rig. The show starts at 5pm and I am starting to sweat it.

I haul ass with no breaks and get there at about 6. Luckily they added another opening band, so I get there when the band before the dickies is finishing up their set. I set up the 3 gopros AND went up to the sound booth to ask (and get) a multitrack audio recording. That was probably a speed record for getting all that done.

The band were GREAT and this multitrack mix sounds fantastic imho. Not only that, but as I was pulling my gopros off stage, I learn that Manic Hispanic (who was Headlining!?) were ok with video, so the gopros stayed up and the multitrack kept on running for them as well.
