The Vacant- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Charlie Stratford Benefit Memorial 10/21/22 Multitrack sbd

I want to thank Jakobe Ares Moreno for sending across these multitrack stubs- we were expecting The Deathryders’ set to synch with video, but the file had the entire show! Thank to Matt from the Cafe for getting this all recorded for us.
Here is The Vacant’s set- Charlie was the drummer for the band until he passed away, so Roger and band performed with no drummer. Short set, but the best quality Vacant recording I have heard.

If you would like to contribute to Charlie’s gofundme for final expenses, I will add the link in facebook commments.

Wet the Rope- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca. 10/7/22 4K UHD Multicam with Multichannel Soundboard Mix

Wet the Rope are a Sacramento-based band with 2 of the main members, Scott Torguson and Chris Sanders playing again after being in the late-80s band Platypus Scourge. That sentence structure sucks, sorry. They are really good at that angular hardcore stuff- Chris’ guitar work is excellent here.
I have the full audio multitrack, but I got there late and missed the start of the set. You’ll see me put up the one stationary camera, then the other camera kicks in after a couple minutes.

Verbal Assault- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento 10/7/22 4K UHD Multicam with Multitrack Audio

I had seen that Verbal Assault had been playing recent shows back east and I really wanted to see them again, but I could not justify another cross-country trip for a concert. When Scott Torguson announced that he was bringing them to town, I wasn’t gonna miss it. Having it at the Cafe was a bonus- best place in town.
I had not seen Verbal Assault since they played at the Club Can’t Tell in 1986. In fact, I don’t think they had played Sac since then. I showed up to the Cafe early and put up a bracket against the back wall so I could mount an anchor camera as a 5th angle. It came out pretty nice. Sounds great- thanks Matt and Anonymous for the audio!

Freewill- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento 10/7/22 4K UHD Multicam with Multitrack Audio Big Bear

There are a bunch of bands named Freewill- if you look at discogs, there are about 10 between “free will” and freewill. This band originated in Southern California(Big Bear) and released an album called Sun Return on New Age records in 1988. I had never heard them before, but they were great and a perfect fit for the bill with Verbal Assault.

Gel- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 10/7/22 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio Hardcore

Here’s the last vid from that October 7 show. Everyone went absolutely nuts for Gel- in fact, I had 2 gopros hit the floor after about 5min of the show. Roger Ford walked up and handed one of them to me- somehow the mount broke off.. and the other one was behind the drummer! How the hell did the drummer gopro fall? Crazy. So this will start out as a 5 camera multicam, then go to 4, then 3. Probably the most chaotic show I have ever seen at the cafe, and that is saying something.
Also, the band was so nice and gave me permission to film, and asked me to tag them on instagram with the video. I will try not to go into my old man rant about instagram, but I don’t understand the purpose as I am a desktop guy. I don’t use my phone for this stuff at all. So, if someone can figure out how to tag them on instagram, please go ahead. I don’t get it.

CH3- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca. 9/17/22 4K UHD Multicam with Multitrack Audio Entire Fear of Life

This set totally floored me- I had never seen CH3 before and they kicked ass. I wasn’t expecting so much energy from a 40 year old band- I’ll have whatever they are having!
They do the entire Fear of Life album, front to back to kick off the show. Special appearance by Chris Shary on backing vocals for You Make Me Feel Cheap.
Thanks to Mike for giving permission to film, and thanks as always to Tromster, Matt(Cafe) and Anonymous for their help.

Mob Rule- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 9/17/22 4K UHD with Multitrack Audio Judas Priest

I thought that I had already posted this, but apparently not. As usual, I got there a little late and had to scramble in to the club and catch as much of the set as possible. At least it sounds good. Cool priest cover at about 24:00.

Field Day- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 9/17/22 4K UHD Multicam with Rode/Multitrack Audio Dag Nasty

The posts are a little late today. Let’s do this one first, and then move to the On This Day.
I was at a show at the cafe a couple months back, and I was talking to a couple people about past shows at the cafe. They asked why the CH3 set from this night had posted but not this one. I was flattered anyone even noticed. That prompted me to reach out to Peter Cortner and check in about posting, and he gave his OK. Thank you Peter, and I hope to see Field Day play live again someday.
The first few minutes of this one has audience audio from my Rode mic on the G60, then the sweet multitrack recording hits at the 7:00 mark. Still sounds good at the start, just a little drum heavy.

Cult Strange- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento 8/18/22 4K UHD Post Punk Goth

After the Me Gustas set, I headed over to the Cafe. I try to support them any chance I get, so why not see 2 shows in one night? I missed the opener, who I heard were very good. These guys were next- they are from Oakland and they were awesome. I love that guitar tone. Matt (sound) did a nice job getting a little vocal in the mix- they were playing WAY too loud and overpowering the PA.
