FLAG- Riot Fest, May Farms, Byers Co 9/22/13 1080HD Master w/Dmonkey Neumann Audio!

This was such a fun weekend, We had VIP passes and the drinks were cheap. so the strategy was to drink early and then sober up as the day went on. Well, I might have had a few too many beers and it was time to video Raygun & FLAG. I asked my friend Daryl to grab me a red bull from backstage, and this is the result. Sorry for the camerawork. In my defense, I was almost crushed at least 5 times. Then the storm came in and we were evacuated, and I could not find the car. This is a must-see just for all the chaos. I really thought that the stage was going to fall on us. Unbelievable.

This is part 1 only- you can find the rest of the show on Youtube

Bad Religion- Riot Fest, May Farms, Byers Co. 9/21/13 HD Master w/ Neumann Mic Audio Live

This was a crazy story. This was the final day of Riot Fest and storms were threatening all day. During FLAG’s set, the sky got super dark and the winds got a bit dangerous so they told us all to leave the venue. I was separated from “Anonymous” and could not find him or the car anywhere. I wandered around forever and finally found it. When I got there, he had been waiting a while and said that he was going to crawl under the car if a tornado formed. Haha, sorry about that.
So we waited for over an hour for the show to resume. In my excitement of getting back in, plus wanting to do a good job for my friend Agelos (BR is his favorite band), I totally screwed the video up. I zoomed in way too often, and the pan and zoom was so active it gives you motion sickness. Sorry about that.

Against Me- Riot Fest, May Farms, Byers Co 9/21/13 Audio Master DPA 4061 Mics

I was going to post another op ivy thing today, but I couldn’t find it offhand. I was cleaning up my hard drive (cleared 500GB of space!) and came across this one. It was WAY too bassy so I EQ’d the ridiculous amounts of bass it had, then popped it into Izotope RX8 to bring the guitar up. It was buried. It sounds pretty good now.
This was the first time I ever heard the band and loved it- I bought the back catalog after this set.

Equipment used: Sony PCM-M10 and DPA 4061 Mics
EQ in sony soundforge
Rebalance (Guitar +4) in izotope rx8.

Faster Bastard- Pinkies, Westminster, Co. 7/15/05 xfer from DV Master

After some keen detective work(I looked at the kick drum on the video), this mystery band has been ID’d as Faster Bastard. And with a name like that, you know it’s got to be good!

More info from band member Adam Scieszinski: this band was called Faster Bastard and they were from westminster, CO and i was at this show. It was at Pinkies in Westminster and I was the bass player. The guys jumping around in the crowd were Josh Dixon and Landon Wise. Lead Singer Was Clay Wise with Keith on guitar and Antionette on drums ( passed away in 2018)

Final Summation- Colorado Springs, Co. 7/15/05 xfer from DV Master Tape

Here is one of the better quality FS videos- they played this nicer venue in colorado springs. The audio is not as distorted for the first 10min and the lighting is good.

oh, and if anyone really reads these, this is my last post before I attempt to upgrade my pc. So you may hear from me later tonight, or you may never hear from me again. It’s probably going to be somewhere in between those 2 extremes. See ya.

Sparklehorse- Boulder Theater, Boulder Co 12/1/96 xfer f/DAT Clone

Let’s start the day with the bonus post. Thanks to Scott Bradley for telling me what to do! I think this was when Jonathan was in Sparklehorse so an additional bonus for you CVB fans.
Unfortunately, the recording was super muddy and bassy. When you would use early stealth mics (such as Sonic Studios or Coresounds) in big theaters or arenas, you would often times get something like this. I think that’s why people started upgrading to Schoeps in the 90s.

Alex Chilton- Mercury Cafe, Denver Co 9/28/91 DAT Clone Soundboard Big Star

I know some people might be like “AC AGAIN?? OMG POST THE DAMN AFTERSHOCK VIDEOS!!!”. Let me explain- I have just learned that pluraleyes can bulk synch my aftershock videos to MUCH better audio and still keep the 4k resolution, so I plan to clean the videos up a bit (that graininess drives me crazy), then synch the pieces of the video, then join them together and post. This will take 1-2 days of processing per video, depending on the length of the set. So, be patient, I want to make them as good as they can be so I don’t need to post multiple versions of the same show.
Anyway, here is a really nice quality and nicely mixed show from Alex. This kind of board mix usually doesn’t happen in small clubs.
