Body Count- Aftershock Festival, Discovery Park, Sacramento 10/12/24 Complete 4K Schoeps Audio ICE-T

Welp, it looks like the Till Lindemann video from yesterday was removed from Youtube due to nudity. I don’t agree with the decision, but what are you gonna do? It’s not like can talk to anyone at YT HQ. Sorry everyone. I spent a week on that one for it to be available for less than a day.
Let’s post 2 videos today to make up for it. Here is probably the best video I have from aftershock- performance, quality, camerawork-wise. Right before they started the set, I told my friend Matt that I was moving over to avoid the pit and right after I said it, you can see the pit erupt. That is how the video starts. I get over to a safe area to video about a minute in, and the audio and video quality improve about 5min in. Such a great set!

…and the hits keep on coming! Body Count does a new song that YT has blocked the audio portion, so I had to choose between editing out the audio and video, or replacing the audio. The pit was raging and I did not want to lose the video, so I found some awesome music from youtube’s library to use. Hope you like it. Concert audio ends at about 13:00 and resumes at about 17:00.

Body Count- Aftershock Festival, Discovery Park, Sacramento Ca 10/9/21 Enhanced 4K Live Ice-T Slayer

I arrived at Aftershock super late on Saturday, as my daughter had a soccer game and I am a coach on the team. In fact, I thought I was going to miss them but I hauled ass from Placerville to the Sleep Train Arena parking, and I got lucky to get on a bus right away. I walked up right when they were starting. No DPA audio- it was such a rush that I did not have time to get my audio stuff all ready.
Of course I would figure out a good place to film at the dreaded coors light stage during the last band I filmed there. Oh well.
Features Dave Lombardo from Slayer on drums for a couple minutes at the start. He slid in there all secret- you didn’t know what you were seeing until it was over.

Ice-T and Body Count- Lollapalooza, Shoreline Amp, Mt View Ca. 7/26/91 Audio xfer from DAT Master

Ice-T was next up, and this set was super memorable. He was billed as Ice-T and at that point, we did not even know he had a metal side project called Body Count. This was my first-ever rap performance so the 1st half was very enlightening. Seriously, it was mind blowing. Then Body Count came on and it was hard to even comprehend what we were seeing. The crowd was going nuts as well. So great, and happy to be one of the lucky ones to be surprised by the performance. Or maybe everyone knew about Body Count and I was clueless- wouldn’t have been the first time.

This was the first big show I taped with the DAT- I got it less than 4 weeks before the show. I was all stressed out with trying to sneak the gear in (I could not get a D6 in for a show in 1989), but it was easy. I snuck in the TCD-D3, 2 battery packs, Sony ECM-909 mic, Marantz PMD-430, 2 nakamichi CM-300 mics, and a hundred feet of mic cable. We put the battery packs in the bottom of snack cracker boxes, and the PMD430(which is HUGE) rolled in a blanket. So funny.
I was super sick at the show, so you can hear me coughing at times.
Not the greatest recording. I should probably de-“woo” it at some point.
