D.I.- Big Frank Memorial, Garden Amp, Garden Grove Ca 6/22/25 4K Multicam Schoeps Audio Casey Royer

I was supposed to post a badfinger show from Tony Philputt’s collection today, but the video was not cooperating. Instead, you get another Big Frank Memorial multicam.

Man, I wish the crowds acted like this at DI shows in Sacramento. So many stage dives. It was nice to see the energy for one of my all time favorite bands.

This was the one set of the day that I could not make sound decent, no matter what I did. There was no guitar in the mix. It doesn’t take away from the performance imho, it still rules.

19 minute set since they were running late.

D.I.-Goldfield Trading Post Sacramento Ca 6/28/24 4K UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Matrix Audio Casey Royer

D.I. finally made it back to Sacramento- first time since 2017 if I recall correctly. Big Jay was the man to bring the band to town back then, and they had not been back after he passed (RIP my friend).
The funny thing is that during that last Sacramento show at the Cafe Colonial, I called Trevor a fill in guitar player. Little did I know that he was permanent and he kicks ass. Now you sometimes have Clinton, sometimes Trevor, and sometimes both if you are lucky. The band has a new drummer as well- long time drummer Joe Tatar retired from drumming and Eddie’s nephew (Joe’s son? not clear) now drums for the band- keeping it in the family! He also kicks ass.
The club was totally cool with me rolling in late, getting a soundboard patch, and setting up the 4 cameras. Thanks to the staff- it’s nice when it is smooth.
My only complaints were with the vocals both in the club and in the board mix. No matter what I did, I could not get vocal clarity, which is important for a D.I. gig. The other minor complaint is the length of set- the band has literally dozens of great songs- they could play 70 minutes easy and I would be happy. Maybe the set was short (and almost the same from 7 years ago) due to the new drummer. Not a huge deal- it was a great time. Crowd wasn’t bad either, considering that the N-Men party was happening at the same time across town.

D.I.- Cornerstone, Berkeley Ca. 9/29/17 LIVE Multicam with Soundboard Audio DI DxIx

Sometimes, everything just falls into place. The band plays well and the crowd goes crazy, which causes the band to increase their energy & play better, etc. You only see shows like this once a year or so. D.I. had a show like that at cornerstone last month. I have been going to D.I. shows since January of 1987, and this was the best non-Agnew show I have ever seen. Filmed with a Canon HFG30, a gopro on stage, and a Canon HFG10 on the balcony. Soundboard recorded with a Sony M10. The only flaw with the video was the vibration on the balcony- it blurs the balcony angle when there is a lot of low end. MUST WATCH.

D.I.- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca. 9/28/17 Multicam

D.I.’s shows in northern california last September were so great. Even with a fill in guitar player, they were at the top of their game. They played an extended set with songs like “no moms”! This show holds special significance to me because it was Jay Pantoja’s last show that he promoted. He retired from doing shows after this one. He passed away a few months later.
Thanks to Zoran for the use of his angles & to Tromster for the edit.
Recorded with 1 Canon HFG30, 1 Canon HFG10, 1 Gopro hero4 silver, and zoran’s canon & gopro.

D.I. – Cooper’s Ale Works, Nevada City Ca. 11/12/16 Multicam with Rode Audio

Man, this was a fun night. D.I. cancelled a show this weekend at The Colony and I noticed they played San Jose the night before, so I thought I’d look them up to see if they were playing anywhere… and they were playing only an hour away! Cooper’s is a great place to see a show. It is tiny, but I was still able to cram 4 cameras in there. I was constantly getting bumped with the monopod by the bar, but it didn’t really matter. Still awesome. Also, I turn around while filming and I see a familiar face- Brandon from Bliss! I had not seen him for over 25 years, but I recognized him and he remembered me! How awesomely random. Great show and a really nice edit job by Agelos. Thank you.

DI- Thee Parkside, San Francisco 12/12/15 Multicam with Rode Audio D.I. DxIx

So much to say about this show. First of all, I saw a FB post that D.I. was going on at 9:30pm, and I was still at home at 7pm. So I scrambled and threw my stuff into my backpack and flew out the door. I get to the club at 7:25.. and the band 2 bands before D.I. had not started yet. D’oh! So, as a result, I had no USB drive for the soundboard and I forgot my mini-to-mini cable for my good mics. The sound is still good, but not perfect. Also, 2 of the 3 cameras decide to freak out because I put them on “auto” setting and the low red lights made them constantly adjust. Next time I’ll know better. But the show. BEST SHOW I have ever seen D.I. do, and I have been going to D.I. shows since 1987. It was an “early days” set- all songs from the 1st 2 LPs. The crowd was into it and the band is in top form.. so despite all of my whining about the video, it turned out really great. Thanks to Agelos for his careful editing of this one- you can tell he enjoyed the show as well! Thanks also to Bobby Rio and Ed Tatar for the OK to film.

D.I. – The Core, Stockton Ca 3/9/96 xfer from DAT Master Soundboard Casey Royer Adolescents Punk

Here’s one that I taped for today’s “On This Day in History”.

TLDR version: Forward 3min for the sound to stabilize.

I almost looked for a different tape since this one is not great quality, but I decided to post this for 2 reasons:

  1. It seems to correct some documented history of the band. When I was trying to find any info about this show, the internets say that the band broke up in 1995 and reformed in 2002. That’s wrong, as I was at this 1996 show. This must be one of their last shows before the hiatus. It also has at least 1 song that never made an album (Talk Show Murders)
  2. There are not many Stockton shows on the archive, and none at all from this venue. I was going to reach out to Middagh Goodwin to see if he has any documentation of the show, but I am no longer friends on this new profile. D’oh.

D.I. – The Barn, Riverside Ca 8/5/95 xfer from DAT Master Soundboard Complete Show Rebalanced

Man, this one was a tough one to prepare. I rebalanced it four times before being ok with it. It’s an odd mix- guitar and vocals are up in the mix, snare and bass buried.
I am a huge fan of the band- I have been recording their shows for 35(!) years. This one was a special set- when you see D.I. you usually get 45-60 minutes of the hits. On this night, they did songs off of State of Shock (which is rare in itself), but they were also writing new material that apparently never saw the light of day. There is a song in the set called Talk Show Murders that I don’t remember being released anywhere. It makes sense- the band didn’t release their next album of original material until 2007- 12 years later with a completely different lineup.
I shot video of about half the set. I need to get this synched up to it.
