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.

Equipment Used: Canon HFG30, GoPro, Canon HFG10, Sony M10

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 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.

D.I.- Showcase Theater, Corona Ca. 6/11/95 Part 1 Punk Casey Royer

This video kinda bummed me out. This show was packed and they were amazing… but since my Sony TR81 camcorder tends to have lousy audio, I decided to plug in my coresound mics in to the camera… BAD IDEA. The camera was not made for the mics so it was even more distorted. You can still make out the songs, so here you go.

D.I.-Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca 6/29/91 Audio Only DAT Master Soundboard Rebalanced Punk Casey Royer

I started a new project while working from home- digitizing my DAT masters and DATs that are uncirculated. Here is DAT #1.
This is the first show I ever recorded on DAT. As soon as portable DAT machines’ price point dropped below $1000, I grabbed one. I got the Sony TCD-D3 shipped to work on 6/28/91 and wasted no time going to a show to try it out that weekend. I am so glad that D.I. happened to be playing, as they are one of my all-time favorite bands. Great long set which includes covers by Devo, Gary Glitter and The Ramones.
Eric Bianchi did a great job with the mix- the guitar and bass were slightly low but everything was there and the mix was consistent. I was able to rebalance this in Isotope and bring up the instruments and drop the vocals a bit. Mix sounds great now- thanks Eric!

D.I.- Kutska’s Hall, Howard Wi 1/2/90 xfer from master cassette Casey Royer Devo

Here’s a tape that jumped out at my from Jason Ross’ collection. I am a big DI fan, so I figured I would pop this one in and listen while working. It is a decent audience recording done with an Aiwa HS-J15 and a custom mic. It sounds a bit like a Sony Pro Walkman D3 recording. I caught DI in June of this year and they were playing a very similar set.

DI- El Dorado Saloon, Sacramento Ca. 9/2/87 xfer from master/1st gen Audio Tape D.I. Punk Live

This is an odd one in 2 ways. Even though D.I. opened for C.O.C., this is tacked onto the end of the tape AFTER COC… which means that “Anonymous” might have copied his master to the COC tape, making this a 1st gen. hmmm…
Also, D.I. is in the rarest of forms here. When they played El Dorado Saloon back in January of 1987, the crowd LOVED them and they played an amazing set. Here we are 8 months later and they get into shouting matches with the crowd. Odd. Casey is usually funny and affable as a frontman… must have been an off night.
