Man, did this one turn out nice. The only small issue is that I accidentally cropped Todd May out of the full stage angle, but I got enough of him in the roving shot to make up for it. Filmed with 2 HFG30, 1 HFG10 and a gopro. Thanks to Jason Ellis for the audio, Brian McKenna for securing permission to film, Ben Lamb for giving permission, and Dillon Fries for the edit. It turned out great!

I had been a casual fan of DBT for over 15 years, but the new American Band album blew me away. I was so happy that I was able to get permission to film them when they came through last October. Filmed with 2 Canon HFG30, 1 Canon HFG10 and a gopro. Audio courtesy of Jason Ellis. Thanks to Brian McKenna and Jenn Bryan for the help in securing permission to film, and special thanks to Dillon Fries for the edit.

This is not a video- this is an audio recording of this show. I have had these mics for about 5 years now (thanks Jason for giving me a good deal on them) and this is probably the best sounding show that I have recorded with them. Recorded about 20 feet back from the right PA stack. This is completely raw- I have not remixed or adjusted levels. You might want to bring your bass down in your EQ a bit. Some people who went to the show may enjoy this: Brian McKenna Jerry Perry Larry Boothroys Paul Piazza Dal Basi and I am sure I am missing many others.

Another show, another run-in with Ace of Spades security crew. I got to the venue SUPER early, during soundcheck to secure permission. Drew & the band were cool about it and got the OK for me. I went to dinner then came back and set up my equipment, which includes a tripod at the far corner of the photo pit next to the stage. I have done this multiple times before. 5 minutes before the show, I have 3 cameras set up and running. Mr. yellow jacket comes over and here’s how the conversation goes: YJ: “Is that your camera up front on a tripod” Me: “Yes it is.” YJ: “You need to move it, it can’t be there” Me: “….(shocked pause) WHY? I have set up tripods there multiple times and it has worked out fine” YJ: “You camera is going to get destroyed. it will get knocked over” Me: “I assume full responsibility for the camera” YJ: ….. (pause) “You need to move the camera” So, instead of 3 camera, this is 2 camera. I tried to be extra diligent with the camera work to make up for it. Thanks to Agelos for the killer edit(he likes this band a lot). Taped with 1 HFG10, 1 HFG30, and audio is from Rode Video Pro microphone. Thanks to the band for permission, and thanks to the guy on the upper level for watching the second camera!

This one has a bit of a story. I went to the show to film opening band Discordia, and to ask Saxon if they would allow me to film. I was surprised that their road/merch manager (who was wearing an Infest shirt!) gave me the ok. So I set up the 3 cameras and start filming the show. During the 2nd song, the tour manager comes over (outranks the road manager) and says “you can’t film””well, you can film, but not the entire show.” at the same time the Ace of Spades security guy is yelling “PUT YOUR STUFF IN THE CAR”. So, I complied, and shut down. Of course the show was amazing, with almost the entire set being from the first 4 albums. Thanks to Agelos for the edit and to Anonymous 1 for the Schoeps audience recording. Nice! SO, here’s your 3 songs.

Ten tears ago, Anonymous 1 and I headed to ace of spades to see Saxon. This was back when Ace was pre-Live Nation, and were still somewhat tolerable.
So I asked the road manager/merch guy if I could video Saxon and he was shockingly OK with it.I was sure I was going to be shut down. Well, 3 songs into videotaping, I get shut down…but that is not the end of the story.
Anonymous 1 was there with his schoeps rig and made this amazing quality recording of the entire set. The show focuses on the early albums so this is a real treat to old school Saxon fans.
My 3 songs are also on the channel/archive if you want to see me get busted.

He also did some post processing in Adobe audition.
Opening for Echo and the Bunnymen, who shut me down completely (no 3 song rule for them!). Wow, this one turned out pretty nice but Ace of Spades’ blue lights drive me insane. 1 HFG30, 2x HFG10, edited by Agelos (really nice job). Audio by Jason Ellis with his Schoeps MKIV Mics.
