Samiam- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca 4/8/23 4K UHD Master with DPA4061 mics GH5S camera

Last Saturday, Cory Wiegert and I went to Oakland for the Samiam show. It was a good show, but there were 3 or 4 opening bands! They were all good, but my old ass can’t stay up until 3am anymore… and then go snow skiing with the kids the next day. Ouch.
The audio is a bit muddy- I filmed from a spot that is usually good for the DPA’s but I didn’t get much guitar, and the DPAs naturally pick up a lot of bass… and well, listen for yourself.
Sorry for losing focus at times. The good news is I have now figured out the focus issue with the GH5S. It’s the lens- I think it is defective. I read up on reviews of this particular one and there is no mention of focus issues, and the other 3 lenses I have perform fine. So I guess I need to shop for another 14-140 lens…

Samiam- McGregor’s, Elmhurst Il 11/4/92 Live xfer from 2nd gen VHS East Bay Punk Turn it Around

I took the weekend off from posting. I had posted something every day for what felt like an eternity. I figured no one would be paying attention since everyone was watching election results, speeches and the like.
Here is the last one (for now) from the VHS tapes that I digitized for the Turn it Around documentary. This is another one that Bob & Mike Byrne shot.. and some good news – it looks like we will be able to transfer the masters and clean up these (and many others) soon! Regardless of where they are posted on youtube, I will link them to the Sacramentomusicarchive website, so be sure to follow the site for updates.
