Victims Family- Phoenix Theatre, Petaluma Ca 3/7/25 4K UHD Multicamera Schoeps Audio Late Years Set

Here is one from my collection that was supposed to post yesterday, but youtube took over 12 hours to process it up to 4k! I waited until midnight for it to finish, then finally just went to sleep. You get TWO collections posts today! Lucky you.
This set is totally unique. Tim had a last minute conflict with his Drum Tech job, so Ralph and Larry had their friend Brian Polk (Joy Subtraction and others) fill in on drums. This set leans heavily on latter era stuff, which is really cool since a lot of this is rarely played. So if you are looking for Voltage and Violets/Things I Hate to Admit played in their entirety, you’re in the wrong place. haha. They do a few old ones, but there are a lot of songs I have never heard live here.
One last thing. This should have been a soundboard/audience matrix, but the soundman pulled the drive out before it finished finalizing. I can usually rescue files like that, but this one had glitches throughout. PSA for sound people- please leave the drive in for a minute! So many issues with this lately.

Victims Family- Phoenix Theater, Petaluma Ca. 1/12/19 Multicam with Matrix Audio

I had tickets to another show on this night (Possessed) but after seeing VF, Nasalrod and Freak Accident the night before in Sac, I blew off the death metal to see them again.
When we got to the venue, we could hear Ralph singing as we walked up. Freak Accident opened the show! Between their early start and some difficulty getting to the balcony to film, I completely missed the set. Sorry Ralph.
VF were great but a little sloppier than usual. Not a complaint- it was nice to see them having fun up there. I really appreciate these shows- with all of the members’ competing priorities, a VF show is a rarity.

Nasalrod- Phoenix Theater, Petaluma Ca. 1/12/19 Multicam with Matrix Audio

Getting set up at the Phoenix was total chaos. First, I was unable to get to the balcony so I headed for the soundboard. The soundguy was super nice but we could not get a signal. I had to get the cameras set up, so I left the recorder with him and he said he would try to get it working. I didn’t know until after the show that he got it going at the last minute. That’s also why you see the show start out with 1 angle for the first minute and a half– I was setting cameras up on the balcony!
What a perfect opening band for Victims Family- Nasalrod has a similar sound to VF while still sounding unique. It is a joy to watch Spit Stix (also from Fear) on drums.

Victims Family- Phoenix Theater, Petaluma Ca. 1/12/19 4camera Multicam w/ Matrix Audio

We posted this one over a year ago, but I realized that the main anchor angle (Full stage shot) did not make the cut. Here is a re-edit with all 4 angles. Matrix audio sounds great as well.

Freak Accident 4.0 & Victims Family ’89- Phoenix Thtr Petaluma 12/19/15 Multicam w/Matrix Audio

Well, I am finally figuring out how to record at the Phoenix Theater!This one turned out nice. Ralph from Victim’s Family headlined the Nostalgia Fest, and he put on a 2 hour show! First hour was with his band Freak Accident. I don’t know much about them but I bought their LP. Next (about an hour into this video if you want to skip there) was the 1989 incarnation of Victim’s Family. Ralph, Larry and Eric. They played pretty much a full set frm that era. It was excellent! Recorded with 2 Canon HFG30 and 1 HFG10. Audio via my soundboard and Jason Ellis’ Schoeps audience recording. Matrix done by Jason Ellis. And, as usual, Agelos put it all together and made it look great. He did a KILLER job on this one. Thanks to everyone.

Victim’s Family- VF30 30th Anniversary show Phoenix Theater, Petaluma 9/27/14 3 cam Multicam Part 1

Victim’s Family had a big show/party for their 30th anniversary. It was at Phoenix Theater in Petaluma- I had never been there before. Think of it as a bigger, dirtier Gilman in a theater. Before the show, they took setlist requests over the web. The set is heavy on the old stuff as a result. Cameras were HFG30 (operated by me), HFG10 (tripod on balcony), HF200 (Tripod behind soundboard on the floor). Sound is courtesy of Vince Scalese- it is a SBD/Neumann mic matrix. Mixing/authoring done by Bong and Agelos. Thanks all!

This is part 1 only- you can find the rest of the show on Youtube

Deftones- Phoenix Theater, Petaluma Ca 5/24/00 Xfer from 8mm master tape Enhanced

I mentioned that I cleaned my desk last weekend and found a bunch of stuff to be posted… there are about 12 Sacramento-related shows that my lifelong friend Gary Shurtleff (bootleg cowboys on YT) filmed, and I digitized last year. I thought I had posted all of the Sac ones from him, but there are something like 12 more.
Since I am so late in posting today, I’ll start with a short one. Here are the Deftones at Phoenix Theater back in 2000. I think I saw Romain from Deftones Live mention that Gary got busted filming, which would explain the 23 minute length of the video. Neat video does an AMAZING job cleaning up these 8mm master tapes. It looks so clean now.

Green Day- Phoenix Theater, Petaluma Ca 6/17/93 xfer from VHS-C Master tape Arica Pelino Collection

Yes! Green Day is finally off tour, so we can get back to more GD posts from Arica. This one has been sitting in the queue, waiting for 2 months to post. It’s pretty nice quality and very rare- it looks like a couple of clips were shown on VH1’s behind the music and that was it. Audio is good and nice camerawork as well.
This is the legendary “last show” before they signed their major label contract. Some context from greendaylive website:

Ben Saari: “Word got out. The last show before they signed the contract was in Petaluma at the Phoenix Theater. There were tons of people. Everybody knew the next day they were signing the deal with the devil and everything would suck. They would be sellouts, nobody could be friends with them, they would be on tour forever, they would blow up. Things would get really good for them. And people were aware that this was also gonna bring in a whole new level of attention to what we had been doing.”

The Daily Cougar: “One person [Brian Zero] even went so far as to hold a protest against the band’s signing at a June 17 concert at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, Calif., calling for the club’s patrons to walk out when the band played. ‘Yeah, some guy came out and expressed his views about major labels, some of which were pretty valid,’ says Billie Joe. ‘I have to give him some credit. He wasn’t a belligerent drunk – he expressed himself intelligently. I mean, if I saw the guy, I’d still want to spit in his face. No one walked out.'”

Huge thanks to Arica for sharing these.

Rancid- Phoenix Theatre, Petaluma Ca 3/13/93 xfer f/ soundboard cassette Basic Radio Downfalll Punk

On This Day in History will post later today- I decided to mix it up a bit.
Here’s one from Jason Ross’ cassette collection. This one was odd- the tape had about 8 minutes of another Rancid show at first- an audience recording. I thought it might be the soundcheck for this show, but there is crowd in between the songs, so I just trimmed it off. If you really wanna hear the mystery Rancid 8min thing, let me know.
It’s got some tape hiss and the mix changes/improved througout, so no rebalancing. Too unstable.
