Bruce Dickinson- Aftershock Fest, Discovery Park Sacramento Ca 10/3/25 4K UHD Master w/Schoeps Audio

Here’s video #2 for the day, and it is the Patreon Voter’s Choice! Thanks voters- new ballots get sent late tomorrow and it’s only $10/mo to play. New polls every week! I am so backlogged that I think I will put up about 10 recently filmed shows and let you pick.

Alright, I need to warn you about this one. My good friend Jeff was giving me those Shaq Beatbox punches since they were FREE and I got pretty hammered.

The good news is that I found a pole in the edge of the VIP section that face the shockwave stage, so I popped it up there and that kept is steady. The bad news is that there was an “influencer” who kept sticking her camera right in front of mine. It isn’t too obvious for most of the show, but it irritated the hell out of me.

The schoeps audio sounds better than I expected since I was so far away from the stage and off to the side. So far off in fact, that the audio and video is out of synch a bit. I was so far away that the sound had to travel to me. LOL Big shows.

Nice keytar btw

Alkaline Trio- Aftershock Fest, Discovery Park, Sacramento 10/2/25 4K UHD Complete w/Schoeps Audio

It’s our weekly Patreon Voter’s Choice selection! All of our $10 per month and up patrons get to vote on a weekly post. This past week’s theme was Aftershock Day 1. Alkaline Trio ran away with the vote this week. I want to thank my patrons for their support and for not presenting me with yet another tie. If you want to get in on the action, I will share a link to the patreon in comments. I think you can figure out what this coming week’s vote will be!

OK, about the video. I had planned to get to the fest early on Thursday but it was raining and my cast (and mics on my head) do not do well with water. So I had to wait for that to stop and then I headed over. I missed the Ataris, Snot and Thrown. Dammit.

This was my first attempt at filming the main stage and just like past years, the VIP section sounded like ass. That’s why you see me pull up stakes and move to GA. Sorry for the shakiness of the video, I was getting used to filming from a distance with the cast on. It settles down after about 10min.

Mac Sabbath- Swabbies on the River,Sacramento Ca 9/6/25 4K UHD Master schoeps Audio Black Frying Pan

Here is one that I video’d that turned out way better than expected. This was one of the first shows I filmed after fracturing my hand and I needed some help from friends to get set up. Thanks Jennifer- you were very kind.

Great show and the audio and video quality are some of the best I’ve done with the G9ii/Schoeps setup.

Half Pint- Golden Bear, Sacramento Ca 7/20/25 4K UHD Complete Set w/Schoeps audio Lightweight

Tonight is the night! We have Bastards of Young, The Blessing and Half Pint at Old Ironsides. I am going to try to make it, but my old body woke me up at 5am and my son has soccer until sundown. We’ll see.

Jim McLain posted the Blessing’s first show over on his channel, but no Half Pint has gone up yet. Here you go. Half Pint was Donny from Lightweight and a lady whose name I did not catch- they wrote these songs as a duo years ago, even before Lightweight was active. They then resurrected the project with a full band. Lys, if I got any of that wrong, please correct me.

Anyway, I think they are on first so hurry and check this out and head to Old I tonight.

Video equipment: Panasonic Lumix G9ii w/Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm F/2.8-4 ASPH lens
Audio Equipment: Schoeps CCM4 mics, Naiant Tinybox preamp lined in to the G9ii.. which always sounds weird. I need to look into that.

Kill the Precedent- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 5/16/25 4K UHD video w/Schoeps/Soundboard Matrix Audio

Alright, I need to admit something. I have been seeing this band since 2012 and I never really cared for them. I don’t know if it was JT’s sound at this show or what, but it finally clicked with me. They kicked ass- the chunky metal guitar along with the industrial themes are really great. Sorry guys, I was an idiot.
I tried my best to get the guitar I heard i the room, in the mix here. It didn’t quite get there but I did my best. Go see them- you won’t be sorry.

Whorified- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 5/16/25 4k UHD Master w/Schoeps Soundboard Matrix Audio Punk

Collections post from my collection today. Yep, I am still working through video masters from last May. Seems like we should speed up these collections posts or something (hint, hint).

Whorified opened the 7 Seconds show at Harlow’s last year. The band includes Allyson Seconds’ niece Frankie Cerrato on vocals. You can see Allyson filming the band up front. I was clearly still getting my act together when they started their set, so the audio on this is very heavy on vocals since the soundboard was vocal heavy. I didn’t turn my mics on until about a minute in.

7 Seconds- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 5/16/25 4K UHD Multicamera w/ Sbd Schoeps Matrix Audio Hardcore

Collections post first today- I didn’t realize that the On This Date wasn’t tee’d up for me to post, so that one (and maybe Patreon Voter’s Choice!) later today.

I mentioned this when I posted the 7 Seconds Gilman show (from the night after this) about a month ago- if you want great audio, check that one out. If you want a better performance, better lighting and active crowd, check this one out. Even though I was taping with the Schoeps and I had the board recording, I could not get this to sound really good. I mean it sounds pretty good, but I wanted it to be better.

This was Bobby’s first show on short notice when Steve broke his wrist. Great job.

Even though the show wasn’t sold out like the one at Harlow’s a couple years back, the crowd was clearly enjoying every minute. It’s a fun watch. I like this one more because of that. Check the crowd for your friends, haha.

The Snobs- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 5/16/25 4K UHD Master w/schoeps audio

It’s another late night post! If I told you what happened today, you wouldn’t believe me so let’s get to the video.

This is the last set from the 5/16/25 Harlow’s show. It took me a while because the board recording was completely brickwalled. After dicking around with it for way too long, I just went with the schoeps audio. You can hear the vocals peaking on this audience recording, too. Still sounds decent.
