Bold- Locker Room, Garden Amphitheater, Garden Grove Ca 6/22/25 Big Frank Memorial 4K UHD NYHC SXE

Since I discovered that the Econochrist video post from this morning has already been posted by the taper, let’s do this collections one and then another On This Day that I am sure isn’t out there.

This is a long story that I’ll get into some other time, but I drove to Southern Cal to see this show, the Cro-Mags Alex Bar show, and get a bunch of studio equipment repaired. The memorial had 2 stages- the big stage you usually see in photos and videos, and then this tiny building called the Locker Room. I have multiple cameras from the main stage, but there was no breaks in between sets so it was impossible to lug a multicam setup between stages and catch everything. I did 2 bands in the Locker Room with the G9ii and Schoeps. Here’s the first of them- I think Bold reunited because of this memorial and ended up playing a run of shows out here. I am standing at the back of the room- that’s how small it was.

Excel- Big Frank Memorial, Garden Amp, Garden Grove Ca 6/22/25 4K Multicam w/Schoeps Audio Crossover

OK, since nothing continues to work properly with the video capture setup, let’s start these. I have been holding off on posting anything multicamera from the Big Frank Memorial because I was told that there was multitrack audio and I would be getting access to it… possibly sharing angles/footage.. but it has been 8 months and no word so let’s get moving on them.

This show was extremely chaotic. The main stage was fine- plenty of seating and great sight lines. The issue was the tiny “Locker Room” which seemed to be the venue’s green room that was repurposed as a tiny music venue. It was constantly a cluster F in there- you could not get in unless you arrived early. Pair that with the fact that there was no set break in between bands (main stage would end, locker room would start immediately), and you were gonna miss some sets.

So that’s why this Excel set is only 2 camera. 2 of my gopro angles were moved/bumped/dead when I left the Locker Room and came back out to the main stage to see Excel. They were starting their set so there was no way to fix anything. Given all that, it still turned out pretty good. This and Farside were probably my 2 favorite bands I had not seen before. They were both amazing. Wish I had more Excel guitar shots, but good enough. Is the guitarist still the same baby-faced guy from the 80s? He looks super different.

Farside- Big Frank Memorial, Garden Amp, Garden Grove Ca 6/22/25 4K Multicam Schoeps Audio Hardcore

The amazing thing about the Big Frank Memorial was not one, but many bands reforming and playing in his honor. This is one of them- Farside had not played in years but reformed to play this set for Big Frank. They were one of the original Revelation records Artists, and probably the most enjoyable set out of the bands I was not too familiar with. Not what I expected at all, and that’s a good thing!

Carry Nation- Big Frank Memorial, Garden Amp, Garden Grove Ca 6/22/25 4K Multicam w/Schoeps Audio

My kids are off on spring break next week and I have realized there is no way that I can get enough videotapes digitized to work far enough ahead to cycle through the ol’ “1 collection per day” sequence. So you are going to get a few of my recent master videos tossed in the mix. I have a huge backlog anyway so it all works out.

This was Big Frank’s band, so it made perfect sense that Carry Nation would play the memorial in his honor. I think they sounded good, but one of the band members was a little tough on the critique of his own performance.

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.
