The Dickies- Garden Amp, Garden Grove Ca 5/1/26 4k UHD Multicam w/Multitrack audio

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.

Manic Hispanic- Garden Amp Garden Grove Ca 5/1/26 4K UHD Multicam Multitrack Audio Rancid 7 Seconds

Here is a recent one from me. Like I mentioned in the Dickies Garden Amp post, I was there to video The Dickies and was breaking down my stage gopros after their set when I asked one of the guys from Manic Hispanic if video was OK. They were cool with it so I put them back up there. Better yet, I asked the soundman if we could keep the multitrack runnin and he was also cool with it. I love it when it all comes together.

This one is decent. Some guys were standing in front of the gopros at times and the multitrack mix was good except for some challenmges with the snare and 1 vocalist. That is why they are a bit low in the mix, then a bit high. It definitely sounds better than the lady who screamed in my ear during the entire MH set.
