Knockoffs- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 11/30/23 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio

These next 2 video posts will not look like one of the usual 4k multicams that we do. I filmed with 1 camera (G60) and 3 gopro’s on stage, then handed them over to Jim McLain to edit an HD multicam from all of his & my angles. My G60 angle is more of an isolation shot, so I don’t have a 4k angle that shows the entire stage like I typically have… so you will see a lot of closeups and gopro angles in this one. Bobby knocked over the gopro on his side like immediately, so it’s just one gopro on Danny, one on Bear, and my iso shot. Thanks to Tromster for making it work in the edit. If you want the full multicam edit in HD, head over to McLain’s channel. If you want 4K, here it is. 🙂
And a call back to the Go National post earlier this week, The Knockoffs do my favorite Go National song- Aqua Dirty. I had not seen them do this since 2000!

7 Seconds- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 11/30/23 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix audio

Here is the other “anchor camera-less” show that we edited together. If you want the full 6 or 7 camera edit in HD, head on over to Jim McLain’s page and check it out. If you want 4K resoultion, here you go.
This was such a great show. I saw 5 7 Seconds shows in Texas in Sep of 2022 since it seemed like they would never play Sac. I was expecting the same setlist and was totally surprised with “Sister”, “Trust” and “Busy Little People”. Trust was the only one that was played, albeit rarely, in 2022. The sold-out crowd was very active- in fact, I had to stand WAY back, next to the soundboard with my monopod on a cocktail table just to get decent elevation. That goodness for my lanc cable to control pan and zoom up there. This was probably my favorite 7 seconds show since they got back together.

Son Volt- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca. 9/21/23 Schoeps Audience Master full Trace album

I am not usually speedy in posting recent shows- I am still working on video from March of this year… but this show was so good and this is one of the best sounding recordings that these new (to me) schoeps mics have produced.
My good friend Anonymous also recorded the show and was in a better spot for recording, so there is probably an even better recording- I had a busy night so I slid in about 10 minutes before Son Volt started.
The Doug Sahm songs were excellent – I bought the album but have not had a chance to listen to it, but Mark Spencer’s Augie Myers parts were spot-on. Nice!
Unexpected highlight for me was “Too Early”. Man, it had been a LONG time since I heard that song and I forgot how much I loved it.

The Snares- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 6/24/23 Schoeps Audio Master Incomplete

I had a busy day on Saturday and got to this show late. What happened to shows that started at 9pm and went until 2am? These early starts are killing me. OK, enough complaining.
I walk into Harlows and the 2nd band is already playing. They are kicking ass. I then see Matt K. Shrugg on drums and realized I have totally f*cked up by missing part of this set. D’oh. It sounded like they were close to finishing (and I didn’t have permission to film), so I didn’t pull out the camera.. but I did start up the schoeps mics and I got about 20 min of the set. You will hear some nuances in quality as I move around the club.
So bummed I missed filming them.

The Kids- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 6/24/23 4K UHD Multicam with Schoeps audio 1970s Punk Band Belgium

The Kids started in Belgium in 1976, releasing 6 albums and 12 singles over the next 10 years. When I saw that Brian McKenna was bringing them to Harlow’s, I could not believe it. I think this was the first time they ever played in Sacramento- I can’t recall them playing and I am old.
Anyway, I talked to the band and they were totally cool with me doing my video thing- how nice is that? Thanks to Luc and the guys for a killer show. So much energy for guys older than me, playing songs that are 40+ years old.

The Trouble Makers- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca. 6/24/23 4K UHD Multicam w/ Schoeps Audio Garage Rock

The Trouble Makers opened up for The Kids at last month’s Harlow’s show to celebrate their 30th(!) anniversary of being a band. They formed while I was living in L.A. so I missed out on them until I discovered their music through the Knockoffs- the Knockoffs did a great cover of “Cursed Again” on their first album.
Unfortunately, this one doesn’t sound great even with the schoeps mics. I need to figure out how to position these mics better while I film. I didn’t help the situation by getting to the venue too late for a board patch. It’s not bad, and garage rock should sound this way anyway I guess.
Tim (vocals) was very nice- before their set, he was worried about my gopros on stage- I tried to tell them that they were meant to be abused. In fact, that Gel show resulted in one getting knocked over the drums (!!?) and one getting kicked around the floor of the venue. Still fine.

Lemonheads- Harlows, Sacramento Ca 11/29/22 4K UHD Multicam w/ DPA 4061 Audio It’s a Shame About Ray

I’ll take a little risk today and post this one. When I filmed this, the tour manager asked to see the video before posting. Well, we can’t find his contact info so I sent an email to Evan’s manager, John Kastner. No reply. Joe Burns- maybe you can tag Evan to see if he is cool with it.
Anyway, this was such a great show. I sang along a couple of times, forgetting that I had mics right next to my face. I hope you can’t hear it. Everything went ok with the shoot, except for the off-center anchor cam and the soundboard did not work for some reason.

Fastcase- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca. 10/3/22 4K video with Soundboard audio Hardcore

I went to the show on Monday night and did a 5 camera multicam of all the bands.. except fastcase. I thought there were 5 bands on the bill and I did not have enough battery to do 5 bands, and I had assumed Soul Glo were going to play at least an hour… nope. Only 4 bands and they played a total of 90 minutes! That’s an efficient show.
So what I am trying to say is that I could have done a multicam of fastcase but miscalculated in many ways. Sorry.

Sick Burn- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 10/3/22 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio Hardcore Thrash RAD

I hope everyone is surviving the endless rain- I woke up this morning and the backyard was a pond once again- I did not even hear the storm!
Here is a new set of multicams from a show at Harlows back in October. First band up was one of the most established in the local scene- I was puzzled as to why they were opening the show, but glad to see them play a room like Harlow’s. The club is lit well enough to see Lory when she jumps into the pit to sing.
My only regret/mistake with this one is with the audio matrix. I mixed Lori’s vocals a bit too low and it bugs me a bit. I might re-do the audio on this one and re-post. You know, in my “spare time”

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Canon HF G60 on monopod, Canon HF G50 on the pole, 3 Gopro Hero 7 black on stage; Sony PCM-M10 through soundboard.

Soul Glo- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca. 10/3/22 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio Hardcore

Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying your Monday. No mediocre Monday today- here is a nice vid of Soul Glo from the show last October. Harlow’s usually doesn’t host hardcore shows- I think it is funny that so much dust was being kicked up. You can totally see it in their fancy light beams.
I didn’t have a great source of audio for this one- board mix was all vocals, not much bass in the room mic. I did the best I could.
