Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg- Goldfield, Roseville Ca 2/16/24 4K UHD Schoeps Audio 1st 3 songs Ramones

Before I start bagging on the situation, I must say that Marky and the band were amazing. This is the closest you can get to seeing the Ramones in 2024. I can’t believe that Marky can do 85 minute punk rock sets every night, at 71 years old! Just amazing.
OK, so the Goldfield staff were cool as usual. Thanks to Chad for bringing the show to town. I video’d all of the openers with permission, but I had a hard time getting the OK from Marky. I asked the merch guy, who happened to be in the band Jerk! and he thought it would be ok to film him, but I have been burned on that before.
At the last minute, thanks to Eddie Jorgensen, I was able to ask the manager for video permission. His reply? “You can do the first 3 songs”… the ol’ first 3 songs rule was dreamed up by the makeup and hair spray crowd for photographers to get their pictures while they were still looking pretty.. it doesn’t make much sense for a bunch of 50+ dudes in a punk band. I complied, but found it funny.
3 songs equals about 6 minutes in Ramones time, so here you go. In the span of 6 minutes, I had 2 things go wrong- they played loud enough to make the floor vibrate, so it is “vibraty” for a song or so until I pop the camera up on the toe of my shoe… and I put in a new battery to film his 3 songs, and the battery almost immediately poops the bed. So, there is a cut a couple minutes in. Fastest battery change ever!
If you want to hear the entire show, come back tomorrow.

Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg- Goldfield, Roseville Ca 2/16/24 Schoeps CCM4 full show

This show was so much fun. Marky’s band was perfect- they were not trying to look exactly like the Ramones, but they pulled off their sound really well. A small nitpick would be about the guitar- should have been in your face… but I am sure that this would have compromised the live sound, so I am good with it. The vocalist was so Joey sounding, it was eerie.

Screaming Bloody Marys- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca. 2/16/24 4K UHD w/ Rode Audio

Busy day, late post. Screaming Bloody Marys have been around since at least 1991, when they put out a single on my ex-brother in law’s label Sympathy for the Record Industry. They Were a San Francisco-based band, but guitar/vocalist Dave Dalton moved up to Sacramento somewhat recently, so we might get to see them play a bit more often.
I saw them play once back in 2019, opening for the Undead. This show was much better in my opinion. Great catchy 70s style punk/garage stuff. This was the rhythm section’s first show with SBM but you couldn’t tell, it went off without issue.

Jerk! – Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 2/16/24 4K UHD w/ Rode Videomic Pro Las Vegas pop punk

Jerk! are a punk band from Las Vegas- I think they played Sac before, at the Cafe Colonial possibly. They were the opener for Marky Ramone for the tour that came through town last month. Nice guys- they gave me the OK to video their band (they were working merch), and they tried to give permission to film Marky. I have been burned by the “merch guy said it was OK” think before, so I sought out Marky’s manager. Good thing I did…
Lots of “whoah ohs” in the Jerk! repertoire, so if that is your thing, check it out.

SpiritWorld- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 10/1/23 Schoeps Audio Master

Another “morning after the show” post. What a crazy night. People were climbing the poles in the club and jumping off into the crowd during Comeback Kid! Completely insane.
This is the opening band, SpiritWorld. I was going to make a comment about a hardcore band wearing nudie suits (google it), but then I started looking deeper into the band and I realized that I BLEW IT by not video’ing them. The band’s vocalist is Stu Folsom, who was in a great LVHC band called… Folsom! They put a CD out a long time ago on Mikey Hood’s West Coast Worldwide label. So THAT’s why Mikey was hanging out with him after the set. Derp.
Then I read an interview with him, and he has roots in hardcore but he is a big alt.country fan, and one of his favorite bands is The Old 97’s. A man with good taste- if he finds this website/channel, he can be endlessly entertained with all of the Old 97s/Uncle Tupelo/Slobberbone on here. Double Derp.
Then he asked me if I video’d after the set. Nope. Triple Derp.
But, hardcore played by guys in nudie suits. I have now seen it all.

Stick To Your Guns- Goldfield, Roseville, CA 10/1/23 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio STYG Hardcore

Wow, we got this one edited and posted in less than 3 weeks. That’s about as fast as we go over here.
STYG came to town and celebrated the 20(ish) year anniversary of the Diamond album by playing it in its entirety. Goldfield is a great club for multicam video- they have poles for mounting, and lighting and sound are great. I wasn’t able to get a board feed in time despite my best efforts, but the Rode/Schoeps matrix sounds nice.
This is the first 4k, 60fps multicam that we did. Continuing to make quality upgrades/enhancements.

Comeback Kid- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville, CA 10/1/23 4K Multicam w/ Matrix Audio Hardcore CBK

Wow, this one came out great and the band (and the crowd) was on fire. People were climbing the poles (thankfully not the one with the camera on it) and diving off into the crowd.
Huge thanks to Tromster for the edit, and also to Tromster’s friend who did a blend of mics from each side of the stage. There was so much separation in the club, my schoeps only picked up the guitar player on the right and the Rode got the left guitar. Sounds great, and it would have sounded odd otherwise. thanks!

Old 97s- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca. 3/29/23 4K UHD Multicam with Schoeps Audio 97’s Rhett

Alright, here’s a really cool one that has been a few months in the making. My old friends Old 97s came to Roseville in March. I arrived early and the club was totally cool with me setting up SIX cameras, as long as I had permission from the band. Since I have known the band since.. well.. 97 (1997), Murry and Co gave me the all clear. Thanks to the band for always being cool about the hobby. I want to also thank a lady named Barbara, who was kind enough to watch my balcony camera when I was on the floor (“you can trust me, I was a girl scout”). Lol, thanks. Thanks to Anonymous as well for the schoeps audio. There is also a soundboard source for this show- once that one is finished it may warrant an audio re-synch and post.

This was part of their 30th anniversary tour, which is still in progress almost 6 months later! So lots of songs from the early days, along with the best of the newer ones. Great set.

My only complaint was with the camera in front of Ken- I had it all set up perfectly, and someone took it off stage and put it on the floor. D’oh! I debated using the angle at all, but it still has some cool shots of Ken and his pedalboard so in it goes.

The Chats- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 4/17/22 4K UHD Lumix GH5S and DPA 4061 Mics Punk

This was my first time at Goldfield Roseville. I figured that it was not going to sound very good with the layout being “wide and narrow” along with the brick walls, but it sounded amazingly good in there.
I have been in my “old man punk” bubble for too long. I forgot how a good young punk band can make kids go apesh*t. What a show! I was blown away at the band’s, and the crowd’s energy. I tried to start filming the show from the same spot as I did for the Mean Jeans, but the crowd was just too crazy, even with my using a big support pole as a shield. I had to move back. You can tell how big of a difference it makes to those 4061 mics when you move away from the PA. Still good, but not as powerful.

Mean Jeans- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 4/17/22 4K UHD Lumix GH5S and DPA 4061 Mics Punk

This is the reason why I headed to Goldfield on Easter- to see one of my favorite bands. It was so nice to see them play for a (relatively) big audience who appreciated their music. This is the best reaction I have seen to an opening band in years. Hard to tell if most of the crowd knew the band, or were just reacting to the greatness as they heard it for the first time.
This is just one angle of 4- we still need to get this one enhanced and edited together- consider this raw footage. As usual, a couple of things went wrong. First of all, I forgot 1 tiny adapter that would allow me to plug into the mixing board. I brought 50 other tiny things to make everything work, but that one thing… nope. Also, the rowdy crowd grabbed my gopro that I had focused on Jeans Wilder(drummer) and ended up setting it on stage, turned the wrong way. So much for the drum cam.
Still a great show. Best I have ever seen them. Glad they are finally getting the props they deserve here in sac.
