Here’s local guys Bastards of Young with a set opening for Teenage Bottlerocket a few months back. Enjoy! Filmed with 1 HFG30 and 1 HFG10. Thanks to Agelos for the edit, and glad you liked them!
So word is out that The Boardwalk appears to be permanently closed, and is currently for sale. I guess the double-whammy of owner Mark Earl’s passing(R.I.P.) and COVID shutdowns did it in. Like most others, I have mixed feelings about the venue. As a person who taped a lot of shows, their aggressive security approach was stressful… but that did lighten up in later years and I saw some really important(to me) shows there. Highlights were the last time I saw The Adolescents with Steve Soto, First time I saw the Muffs, and this show. When I would drive to work, I would glance at their marquee and there was usually a bunch of bands unfamiliar to me… but one day I did a double-take. Loudness was playing the boardwalk? I had been a fan since the early 80s (pre-hair metal). I borrowed Anonymous’ mics and went to the show. It sounds ok, considering how LOUD they were. Claude may have been grouchy, but he was a pretty good soundman.

I plan to post a better version of this video- I have been trying to de-shake this thing for 2 days now and Adobe keeps on crashing. I think I have a soundboard DAT of the show as well.
Sorry for the shaky camera work- I was in the sound booth and I could not use my tripod. This was my first time filming the band and I was super excited. I had been a huge fan for years but was never able to catch them.

I just got a new software program called plural eyes that not only synchs an audio track to a video, but it also stretches it to align all the way through the video. For those of you who have done this before, you know how maddening this is.. especially with analog sources. Anyway, I have probably over 50 shows that I can synch up the soundboard audio to the video now. Thanks to mr “full send” for the help on this. 🙂 The only downside is that the program allows export either into video programs I don’t have, or as a raw .mp4 video clip.. so if I shut off my camera or audio recorder, it splits it into 2. I will need to rejoin them in the future, but no time today. So you get 2 posts- main set and encores.
