7 Seconds- Neck Of The Woods, San Francisco, CA 12/2/23 4K UHD Multicam with Rode Audio

A couple of nights after filming the 7 Seconds Harlow’s show (which is up on Jim McLain’s youtube channel- check it out), I headed to SF to see this show. I had never been to Neck of the Woods before, so I had no idea what to expect. The venue was in an usual area for a venue- over by the Presidio, in a predominantly Asian area. It was pretty small (smaller than Harlow’s) and had very good sound(thanks Otto)… but all of main stage lighting lit the bands from behind. That is a recipe for disaster for video, and I happened to be shooting directly into the light. We tried to enhance/shadow correct the angle, but it just made the band glow like they were angelic for something… so we used the raw footage. If you see the photo used for my Facebook post, you can see how extreme the backlight is (thanks to Nolan Erck for the photo).
I also realized that I forgot my pole mounts about an hour into my drive to SF, so I was extra bummed to see 3 large posts at the venue – they would have been perfect for a camera mount. Huge thanks to Maurice Turrieta for helping with 2nd camera (a camera he never used before) to shoot most of the show handheld.
The best part of the show was the crowd- this was probably the most lively crowd I have seen at a 7 Seconds show in about 10 years. Lots of younger fans came out, as it was all ages and the openers were mostly younger bands. It was great to see. You will see my angle panned further back than usual because 1- I could not reach my lens since the camera was WAY up there and 2- the crowd was so active, I didn’t want to miss shooting the action.
Thanks to Kev, Steve, Bobby and Sammy for continuing to welcome this obsessive hobby.

7 Seconds- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 11/30/23 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix audio

Here is the other “anchor camera-less” show that we edited together. If you want the full 6 or 7 camera edit in HD, head on over to Jim McLain’s page and check it out. If you want 4K resoultion, here you go.
This was such a great show. I saw 5 7 Seconds shows in Texas in Sep of 2022 since it seemed like they would never play Sac. I was expecting the same setlist and was totally surprised with “Sister”, “Trust” and “Busy Little People”. Trust was the only one that was played, albeit rarely, in 2022. The sold-out crowd was very active- in fact, I had to stand WAY back, next to the soundboard with my monopod on a cocktail table just to get decent elevation. That goodness for my lanc cable to control pan and zoom up there. This was probably my favorite 7 seconds show since they got back together.

7 Seconds- Mohawk, Austin Tx. 9/5/22 5camera 4k Multicam with Matrix audio Kevin Hardcore

Here is 7 Seconds’ set from the first night at Mohawk. This is my favorite set of the tour- they did “Trust”, which was a rarity. Also, some things never change- the band had to stop in the middle of “here we go again” because people were fighting. It’s like these dudes don’t even listen to the lyrics.
These mohawk shows are the best shows we have ever filmed and edited- so proud of these, and thankful to Jim McLain and Tromster for the help. I love that angle behind Sammy where you can see the sold out crowd watching and singing along. So great.

7 Seconds- Mohawk, Austin Tx. 9/6/22 6 camera 4k Multicam with Matrix audio Kevin Hardcore

I got so busy yesterday that I did not have time to post this. Even though we are on Mediocre Monday, this one is far from mediocre. I don’t typically enjoy my own videos- I see my mistakes and I can’t watch. This is one where everything came out really well. We also added an audience gopro camera which gives you a good view of the pit. Jim’s mix of the 3 audio sources (DPA Mics, Rode Mic and board mix) make it sounds like an official live album. Tromster’s edit came out nice, 7 Seconds is one of his favorite bands. Well done on all fronts.

7 Seconds- White Oak Music Hall, Houston Tx 9/3/22 4K UHD Multicamera with Matrix Audio Hardcore

TLDR: Guitar comes in soon- give it a minute!
Wow, I am kinda shocked as to how well this one came out. Like I mentioned in other posts, EVERYTHING went wrong on this one. Getting to Houston was a nightmare- there was a monsoon-like storm and there was no visibility on the freeway. I get there late during soundcheck and the venue is very nice– the nicest one of the tour and the staff was nice. I lost my camera pole mount in either Dallas or San Antonio and did not realize it until I looked in my bag to use it here. So, I tried strapping the monopod to a post with bungee cords which caused too much vibration to use.
Then, early in the set, my gopro on Bobby freezes up. That has never happened before. So, this 4 camera video changes to 3. That issue caused me to panic-buy another gopro in Austin and relegate this one to backup status. Plus, my GH5S camerawork is super shaky because I was holding it by hand and my bionically repaired right shoulder was not having it.
So, like I said, it has no business being this good. Thanks to Agelos (Tromster) for saving the day.

7 Seconds- Paper Tiger, San Antonio Tx. 9/2/22 4K UHD Gopro 9min Sample Circle Jerks tour

I am in Texas, filming every 7 Seconds show of the Circle Jerks/7 Seconds and Negative Approach tour there. I don’t usually put up show fragments, but I only have my work laptop so I can’t bring the entire angle together. Don’t have the tools. I saw that Kev did not live stream and this was the best crowd I had seen of the tour so far, so I figured I’d give a taste. I did 4 angles that will be edited together soon. Fwd to 4:50 to see the crowd go nuts during “Young ’til I die” and even 99 red baloons!
I also put it up because the Westin tried to argue with me about how internet works… so I clogged up their hotel internet with this 5gb file. Man, I hate bougie hotels. At least the bed was nice, I was exhausted.
Anyway, thanks to Kev and the band for always being so nice to me and my camera (s).. for over 30 years. Always being cool even when a lot of others weren’t.
Edits coming soon so subscribe if you want to see them.

7 Seconds- Paper Tiger, San Antonio Tx. 9/2/22 4K UHD Multicamera with soundboard audio

Here is the 2nd date of the Circle Jerks/7 Seconds/Negative Approach Texas tour. The first date was in Dallas- I was staying in a semi-crappy hotel north of Dallas by the airport and I worked until noon. Then, I had to make the ~300 mile drive south to San Antonio. It was the Friday before Labor Day weekend, so traffic was heavy. I had to take a bunch of country roads to make up time, but I drove straight to the club and walked in during 7 Seconds’ soundcheck.

I really liked the venue- the Paper Tiger is an industrial/warehouse looking place and they roll up the side doors so you can see the show from the outside patio. I probably should have filmed Negative Approach, but I was pretty fried from the drive. This was the smallest venue of the Texas run and the crowd was the most active and was singing along/moving constantly for 7 Seconds’ set.
The only downside is the audio- My DPA mics were so bassy/muddy that they were not much use, so I took the raw soundboard and tried to rebalance it.. but it has this odd high end flutter which bugs the hell out of me, but stick with it, you’ll get used to it.

7 Seconds- Granada Theater, Dallas Tx. 9/1/22 4K UHD Multicam with SB Matrix audio

Aww, here is the very last video to post from that Texas tour in September. That was a lot of driving, but a lot of fun as well. I still have a few audio only recordings to share from that run, but this is it for video.
Like I mentioned before, this was a tough room- it was an old theater with pretty rough sound, plus the balcony vibrated so badly that one of my angles was useless. Huge thanks to Jack Pier for the camera help or I would have been toast. This one turned out a lot better than the Circle Jerks’ set, especially audio.

7 Seconds- Thee Parkside, San Francisco Ca. 4/8/16 4 camera Multicam w/Rode Audio

This one turned out great. Thanks to Agelos for the great editing work. Filmed with 2 Canon HFG10’s (pole mounted) and 2 Canon HFG30’s (1 pole mount, 1 monopod w/Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic). The crowd was very into this one- much moreso than Sacramento the night before. You can see Jim Pitts up front rocking!

7 Seconds- Blue Lamp, Sacramento Ca. 4/7/16 Multicam HD 1080p live complete show

This show came up in conversation with Joe McKinney earlier this week and I went to send him the link… and I never posted it. So here you all go- the second to last show in 2016 before 7 seconds took their 6 year break.
Kevin is also taking song requests for the setlist for the band’s shows next year. Watch this and head over to his post and submit yours.
I am posting video during the week because I figured that hardly anyone would pay attention to a post on Friday (xmas eve) and Saturday (xmas), so you get your videos early. There will be another very special one tomorrow, if everything goes right…

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Crap, I don’t really remember. In 2016, it was probably Canon HFG30 x2, and another camera side stage (G10?). This was pre-Gopro.
