Samiam- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca 4/8/23 4K UHD Master with DPA4061 mics GH5S camera

Last Saturday, Cory Wiegert and I went to Oakland for the Samiam show. It was a good show, but there were 3 or 4 opening bands! They were all good, but my old ass can’t stay up until 3am anymore… and then go snow skiing with the kids the next day. Ouch.
The audio is a bit muddy- I filmed from a spot that is usually good for the DPA’s but I didn’t get much guitar, and the DPAs naturally pick up a lot of bass… and well, listen for yourself.
Sorry for losing focus at times. The good news is I have now figured out the focus issue with the GH5S. It’s the lens- I think it is defective. I read up on reviews of this particular one and there is no mention of focus issues, and the other 3 lenses I have perform fine. So I guess I need to shop for another 14-140 lens…

Dead Sound- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca 4/8/23 4K UHD Master with DPA4061 mics GH5S cam Monsula Pinhead

Opening for that Samiam show a couple weeks back were Dead Sound. I have been looking forward to seeing them for a while. This is Bill Schneider’s (PHGP, Monsula, etc) new band along with Mark Lynn (Bill’s bandmate in Uranium 9 Volt), Mike Goshert, and Mack Narragon.
The sound was a little muddy and bassy, a situation that the DPA mics don’t deal with too well. I hope you can find it listenable. They have an LP out on 1234 Go!’s in house label.

The Longshot- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca. 6/7/19 Live Multicam Green Day

So much to say about this one. It was pretty packed at the Golden Bull, but they got a new stage setup and the sightlines were still pretty decent. This was a guerilla multicam- I wish I could ask permission (and get a gopro on the drummer) but Billie Joe never appears until it is time to walk onstage. So 3 cameras it is.
HUGE thanks to Dan Hague for the help with filming. He handles 1 G40 on a monopod, and I did the other one. Plonk a gopro on the corner of the stage and we are all set. Another HUGE thanks to Tromster for the edit.

Radolescents- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca. 2/25/18 Canon HFG40 Rode

This show was on a Sunday night, and I totally forgot about it. I was sitting on the couch, checking my feed and there it was. I threw my cameras in my bag and hauled ass from Orangevale to Oakland. I got there about 10min before the Radolescents took the stage!
This show is unique because their vocalist, Frank Agnew Jr, was sick and unable to perform. Rikk, Casey and Dan Colburn stepped in and filled in on vocals. It’s pretty funny to hear Casey do his best Tony Cadena impression, singing while playing drums.
They are coming to the Blue Lamp in Jan- go check them out! They do the Adolescents’ Blue Album + Welcome to Reality EP in full. Frank Jr. sounds a lot more like Tony than you would expect.
PS: I did 3 cameras of the show, but one was shut off by an audience member and the drum cam was poorly lit. The lights were extremely blue, so I corrected it a bit.

Radolescents- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca. 2/25/18 Multicam with Rode Audio Live Adolescents Rikk Agnew

Happy Monday everyone! Here is another newly edited show for you today. This one was funny- I was excited to see the Radolescents play and I had made loose plans to go. It was about 6pm (maybe later) on Sunday and I am checking my facebook feed… and the show was happening that night- it was already starting! I totally forgot about it!! I threw my gear into my bag and booked it over to Oakland (90+ minute drive) and got there right when they were preparing to take the stage.
The lighting is ridiculously blue- maybe for the blue album? Dunno, but that’s how it looked in the club. Frankie jr was sick, so the rest of the band picked up vocal duties. I was bummed because Frank sounds so good doing these songs. I was fun to see Casey sing the songs that he helped write so long ago.
Starts with 3 cameras, but one of the gopros by the stage gets clobbered about 10min in.
