Miki Berenyi- Great American Music Hall, San Francisco Ca 10/27/25 4K UHD w/Schoeps Audio Lush Indie
Let’s do the Patreon Voter’s Choice first today! I just remembered that I haven’t started the ballot for this week- yikes! Get in on it ASAP if you want to vote on something cool this week. This week’s theme- Off List Audio.
Miki Berenyi came to SF last week for the last time and played a bunch from her MB3 releases and SIX lush “covers”! I was able to make my schoeps recording sound decent- it was very bassy and muddy. I EQ’d out some of the lows, boosted the mids, and then ran it through Izotope to bring up vocals as much as possible without it sounding bad.
There are quite a few people in the way of the shot, especially later in the show. I knew that GAMH were sticklers about monopods on the floor, so I brought this little selfie stick and popped it in my shirt pocket. I needed some support since the left hand isn’t all the way healed yet. It wasn’t as high as my usual monopod and it kinda worked… and then some tall dudes get in the way toward the end of the set and I didn’t want to move and ruin the audio sweet spot. So there ya go. This is what happens when you compromise audio and video. It’s not terrible.
Thanks to my friend (and Sac Muisc Archive board member) Jim Utz for the help with the camera pass. This probably wouldn’t exist without him!

Screeching Weasel- Punk in the Park, Cow Palace,San Francisco Ca 5/3/25 4K UHD Schoeps Audio Partial
I figured I would post a little sample of what’s coming- thanks to Shawn (RKL TM), I was granted not only an all access pass to the show, but artist parking! I was stoked to pull right up to the entrance, park, and walk in. Thanks Shawn!
I was able to video all bands on the main stage starting with RKL. RKL through SW were with 2 cameras. I was getting low on batteries so Pennywise had 1 cam. There is also multitrack audio for some of the bands which may get used, if ok. My friend Guerin also video’d, so who knows.. maybe more cameras can be edited.
Since it is somewhere between 1-2TB of data, I am still trying to get all of the video off of SD cards and onto the RAID. I figured I would give a little taste of the middle of the set here while I work through all this.

Camper van Beethoven- Fillmore, San Francisco 4/26/25 Complete 4K UHD Show w/ schoeps audio
A big thank you goes out to Thomas Harvey, Morst, and David Basham for coordinating me a camera pass. With The Fillmore’s over the top security, there was no way I could have gotten my DSLR into the venue without them. Thanks and sorry night 2 didn’t go well with the security for you guys.
Even with the help, it wasn’t smooth getting to the venue and getting in with the camera. Massive traffic jams from Sacramento meant that I had to take the north bay- golden gate detour to save time, then the box office acted like they didn’t have my credentials (they did), then once I got them, they made me wait at the back of a huge line to get in…due to over the top security searches at the door. I finally got ready and to the filming spot at 8:28pm, and they went on at 8:30!
The angle is pretty decent and unobstructed for the first hour-plus. Greg is a bit distant but I did my best to keep him in frame. Zooming up would lose focus at times on Greg only. Then at about 70min in, 2 tall dudes come and I had to shoot between/around them, so this isn’t as good from then on. Why didn’t I move? Because that would have affected the audio quality, plus I knew security wasn’t going to bother me at this spot so I didn’t want to risk it.
I don’t know why the hell the audio is so low– I pushed it right up to max when I rendered the video for upload.. for 31 hours…
But wow, what a great show! Just an absolute killer of a setlist. Thanks to the band for coming from all corners of the world to make it happen. What a treat. I got to see songs performed that I never thought I would see. Plus, I got to film a complete show at the Fillmore, which seems like an accomplishment.
Oh, and the last 20min or so is not great because I am old and filming like this is like doing yoga, and my body was breaking down. I had a ticket for sunday, but I was a slug on the couch instead.

U.D.O.- DNA Lounge, San Francisco Ca 9/20/24 Multicam Soundboard LiveStream Udo Dirkschneider Accept
Zoran Theodorovic asked me something yesterday and I had never really considered doing this. DNA Lounge broadcasts their live streams for all of their concerts- multicamera with soundboard audio. I have been cptruing many of them over the past couple years, but I didn’t feel right posting them. It’s not my work and all I did was screen record and save. But since DNA Lounge does not seem to save/archive these, let’s give posting one of these a shot. I have a ton of them- Anvil, Peelander-Z and more just in the last month. If DNA or anyone affiliated with the artist or venue want this pulled down, just use the contact form at sacramentomusicarchive dot com and I’ll pull it down faster than.. a shark? Sorry.
One more thing about the DNA streams- some of them can be really bad quality. It looks like they fixed up the cameras for this U.D.O. one. The board audio on this is killer as well. Most don’t come together this nicely.
I was planning on posting a Rodney video today- that will happen next weekend.

Short Dogs Grow- Kilowatt, San Francisco Ca 8/10/24 4K UHD Multicam w/ Schoeps Audio
Yep, that title is right- NOT A TYPO. Short Dogs Grow are back! They played their first show in over 10 years (and their 2nd show in over 30, I think) last month at the Kilowatt. They were one of my favorite bands in the late 80s/early 90s, so I wasn’t missing this one!
Of course, any time that I go to a new venue to do multicam video, things inevitably go wrong.. and boy did they. First of all, there is NO parking in this part of SF. After cruising block after block of no parking, I absent-mindedly scooted over to make a right hand turn, and almost hit a bicyclist! I got a nice long middle finger for that one.
Then, once I got into the venue, I realized I forgot the USB drive for the soundboard recording to mix with the schoeps. Hell if I was driving again, so I started a madcap trip to Walgreens with ubers and lyfts and stuff… and then, after all that, the board didn’t work it out. D’oh!
At least the camera angles worked out OK- when there are only 4, it makes a difference if one bonks out. Sounds ok, could have been better. It sounds like they are open to playing more shows, so I might try again if they play somewhere where I can park without killing someone.
The set was great- they even have a couple of new songs!

Jackson Saints- Kilowatt, San Francisco 8/10/24 4K UHD Multicam with Schoeps Audio
As an extra bonus, the legendary Jackson Saints also played the Kilowatt show with Short Dogs Grow. Since I already had all the cameras set up, I figured I would video this set as well. Thanks to Janis for permission.
The band was active back in the early 90s and it seems that most if not all of the original members played the reunion show- correct me if I am wrong. It was pretty tough to figure out because I don’t see any recorded output on discogs and I am going from old band photos to figure it out. Janis, the Meade brothers (Erik & Kevin) seem to be there.
If you can tag/inform band members, I would appreciate it.
Here is the lineup for the show: Chuck Davis-vocals Janis Tanaka- bass Erik Meade- guitar Kevin Meade- guitar JT John- drums
