Monks of Doom- Ivy Room, Albany Ca. 5/20/18 Multicamera with Matrix Audio
Man, I can’t believe it has been almost 2 years since I last saw MoD. Time flies. For some reason, my gopro that was on David’s side of the stage decided to not work. I thought it would affect the edit a lot, but it isn’t too bad.

Equipment Used: Video: Canon HFG40, Canon HFG30(drums), Gopro Hero 4 silver.
Audio: Neumann KM140 pair at FoH + 2x Neumann KM143 on stage, Sound Devices MixPre6, WAV @24/48

The Monks Of Doom: The Make-Out Room San Francisco, CA 5/19/18 Multicam
I can’t remember why, but I was tied up with something and I left for the show late. Parking around the makeout room is a huge pain in the ass, so I stressed out while trying to park for 20min or so. I walked a couple of blocks with my equipment and talk to Victor- they are going on in 10 minutes. So I scrambled to get my stuff set up- so glad I made it- this is a great set. They were totally on that night.
Setlist:
Cherry Blossom Baptism
In Anticipation of the Pope
Hieroglyphic
The Bastards Never Show Themselves
Going South
Calvary
Up From the Cane

Monks of Doom- Emo’s, Austin Tx 12/12/92 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette Counting Crows Camper
FINALLY, here is today’s On This Date in history. When I was checking the spreadsheet for stuff to post and I saw this one there. I knew it came from Craig Hilmer and I have his master here so I went digging through the tapes… nope… this one isn’t in there. Maybe we’ll get a master transfer when Craig comes for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass again. Haha.
The mix was pretty uneven and it changes often, but it was super low on guitar throughout so I went ahead and rebalanced it. More guitar and more vocals. There are portions of the show that are pretty badly out of balance, but it sounds good for the majority of the set.
I love the contract and setlist J-Card cover that Craig made. I think we are still adhering to its terms by putting it up here. They are getting paid, they basically gave consent through the archive.org “approved band” status. I’m sure I’ll hear about it if not. lol

Monks of Doom- Avalon Niteclub, Chicago Il 10/24/92 xfer f/DAT clone VP88 mics Camper van Beethoven
I waffled back and forth on today’s On This Date in History before pulling this one to digitize. Whenever I have a chance to share a Jeff Segota tape, I usually go for it. He always made such nice quality tapes.
This was the band at their most popular- they had just released the Forgery album on IRS records and were touring some pretty decent sized venues.

Monks of Doom- Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca. 4/27/91 Part 1 Camper Van Beethoven
This was probably my 2nd best Monks show. The lighting at Cattle was really good tonight, I can’t remember if that was by my request or not. 🙂 Anyway, Victor Krummenacher might want to check this out since he was about 2 feet from me. Enjoy.

Monks of Doom- Cattle Club, Sacramento 4/27/91 Xfer from master videotape w/Soundboard Audio enhance
There were some nights at Cattle, where I would be filming from the stage and my audio tape deck would be back with Eric Bianchi, lined into the mixing board. Here is one of those that turned out pretty damned good, especially now that we can brighten up the video and rebalance the board tapes. Not perfect, but enjoyable.

Monks of Doom- Kennel Club, San Francisco Ca 022691 w/Soundboard Audio xfer from master tapes Enhanc
I’m late to post today, but trust me, this is one to watch. The video was pretty well- lit so all I had to do was degrain/denoise and it came out great. The audio is fantastic- there was this guy in SF named Adam Blinn who would plug a mixer into the soundboard and remix the show live and this one sounds amazing. I tried to reconnect with him or a couple years after that and eventually lost contact. I wonder where he is now…
Anyway, enjoy. Between the performance and the audio and video quality, this is probably the best video I have seen of the early days.

Monks of Doom- Cattle Club, Sacramento 8/25/90 Part 1 (only for now)
So I always have an endless backlog of video & audio stuff to do for people (so if you are waiting, sorry, I will get to it). Right now, I am giving the Camper Van Beethoven documentary guys about 50 videos. They asked for some Cattle Club stuff that I had not seen in a while. Check out how great this clip is- and look what can happen when you turn the lights all the way up in that place! Seriously, great stuff. This was my favorite era of theirs.
