Bruce Dickinson- Aftershock Fest, Discovery Park Sacramento Ca 10/3/25 4K UHD Master w/Schoeps Audio

Here’s video #2 for the day, and it is the Patreon Voter’s Choice! Thanks voters- new ballots get sent late tomorrow and it’s only $10/mo to play. New polls every week! I am so backlogged that I think I will put up about 10 recently filmed shows and let you pick.

Alright, I need to warn you about this one. My good friend Jeff was giving me those Shaq Beatbox punches since they were FREE and I got pretty hammered.

The good news is that I found a pole in the edge of the VIP section that face the shockwave stage, so I popped it up there and that kept is steady. The bad news is that there was an “influencer” who kept sticking her camera right in front of mine. It isn’t too obvious for most of the show, but it irritated the hell out of me.

The schoeps audio sounds better than I expected since I was so far away from the stage and off to the side. So far off in fact, that the audio and video is out of synch a bit. I was so far away that the sound had to travel to me. LOL Big shows.

Nice keytar btw

Alkaline Trio- Aftershock Fest, Discovery Park, Sacramento 10/2/25 4K UHD Complete w/Schoeps Audio

It’s our weekly Patreon Voter’s Choice selection! All of our $10 per month and up patrons get to vote on a weekly post. This past week’s theme was Aftershock Day 1. Alkaline Trio ran away with the vote this week. I want to thank my patrons for their support and for not presenting me with yet another tie. If you want to get in on the action, I will share a link to the patreon in comments. I think you can figure out what this coming week’s vote will be!

OK, about the video. I had planned to get to the fest early on Thursday but it was raining and my cast (and mics on my head) do not do well with water. So I had to wait for that to stop and then I headed over. I missed the Ataris, Snot and Thrown. Dammit.

This was my first attempt at filming the main stage and just like past years, the VIP section sounded like ass. That’s why you see me pull up stakes and move to GA. Sorry for the shakiness of the video, I was getting used to filming from a distance with the cast on. It settles down after about 10min.

Mac Sabbath- Swabbies on the River,Sacramento Ca 9/6/25 4K UHD Master schoeps Audio Black Frying Pan

Here is one that I video’d that turned out way better than expected. This was one of the first shows I filmed after fracturing my hand and I needed some help from friends to get set up. Thanks Jennifer- you were very kind.

Great show and the audio and video quality are some of the best I’ve done with the G9ii/Schoeps setup.

Cracker- Petaluma Music Festival 7/26/25 4K UHD Master w/Schoeps audio Partial set

First off, if you all can do me a favor and NOT post this over on the Cracker crumbs facebook group, I would appreciate it. I got plonked by David on Sunday and was asked to not post there, so let’s play it safe and keep my stuff off of there completely. Yikes. Between that and Morst’s issues at The Fillmore, it seems that the ol’ “taper freindly” label is starting to peel off. haha.

So this is the first of 2 that I am posting from last week’s voter’s choice. It took me over 3 HOURS to get to this fest from home. It’s about 100 miles. I thought I left in time to make it to see Cracker, but there was SO much traffic. So that’s why you see this one cut in and get filmed through the soundboard tent. I had to turn the camera off a couple times to get settings dialed in. It’s amazing it turned out as good as it did, given the circumstances. The CVB set is way better.

Camper van Beethoven- Petaluma Music Festival 7/26/25 4K UHD Master w/Schoeps audio Complete set

TLDR version: Forward to 10 minutes in if you want to skip the soundcheck/mic check banter.

First off, if you all can do me a favor and NOT post this over on the Cracker crumbs facebook group, I would appreciate it.

Between that and Morst’s issues at The Fillmore, it seems that the ol’ “taper freindly” label is starting to peel off. haha.

I have to admit, I got a little emotional toward the end of this set- I kinda lost it during All Her Favorite Fruit. The band has been hinting that this run of 40th anniversary shows will likely be the final CVB shows ever. There was no way I could make Campout and I can’t get the Washington DC at this time, so this show was it. It’s been an awesome 36 year run of me taping the band. That’s why you see 10 minutes of them prepping at the beginning of the show. I was going to edit it out, but there is enough good stuff in there to include it. Soak it all in.

It’s also really cool that my best CVB recording is likely the last one I’ll ever do. Kudos to the soundman- amazing sound for the entire set.

Halestorm- Toyota Amp, Wheatland Ca 7/24/25 4K UHD Master w/Schoeps Audio Complete Hard Rock Metal

Since Halestorm is coming back to the area- I think they play Thunder Valley tomorrow- I worked this one up.
I wasn’t planning on going to this show but I checked for tickets on day of show and someone was selling a luxury box seat for CHEAP so I figured what the heck. I am glad I did- this is probably my best ZS200/Schoeps video. It looks and sounds great!
It takes me a couple of minutes to settle in to position, but it is pretty steady from then on. Mix improves a bit into the set.

Equipment used: Canon ZS200 and Schoeps CCM4 mics, Naiant Tinybox preamp, Sony A10 digital recorder.

Half Pint- Golden Bear, Sacramento Ca 7/20/25 4K UHD Complete Set w/Schoeps audio Lightweight

Tonight is the night! We have Bastards of Young, The Blessing and Half Pint at Old Ironsides. I am going to try to make it, but my old body woke me up at 5am and my son has soccer until sundown. We’ll see.

Jim McLain posted the Blessing’s first show over on his channel, but no Half Pint has gone up yet. Here you go. Half Pint was Donny from Lightweight and a lady whose name I did not catch- they wrote these songs as a duo years ago, even before Lightweight was active. They then resurrected the project with a full band. Lys, if I got any of that wrong, please correct me.

Anyway, I think they are on first so hurry and check this out and head to Old I tonight.

Video equipment: Panasonic Lumix G9ii w/Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm F/2.8-4 ASPH lens
Audio Equipment: Schoeps CCM4 mics, Naiant Tinybox preamp lined in to the G9ii.. which always sounds weird. I need to look into that.
