The Dickies- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca 2/18/23 4K UHD Multicam with Rode audio punk

Old Ironsides has been diversifying their artist bookings, allowing up and coming/ad-hoc promoters to book there at a very reasonable rate- thanks Old I!
Why am I bringing this up? Because my friend Cory booked one of the best pop punk bands out there- City Mouse- and they are playing at Old I tonight (April 16)! Please come out and support the band. They are truly great.
Anyway, here is an awesome show at Old I- The Dickies played there a couple months back and they were great as always. 2 of the 3 gopros were moved, making one of them (drums) not worth using. The other one made me chuckle a bit- Guitarist Ben Seelig is ALWAYS on part of the stage where I can’t get a good angle on him– last time at Ivy Room, he was completely in the dark. Well, this time, one of the bumped gopros shows only him and a lady in the audience. Ben finally gets some camera time. Haha.
Big thanks to Bobby and Paloma Jordan for helping keep the gopro in front of Stan upright when it got knocked around. I think Mike Meals helped too- thanks!

The Dickies- Ivy Room, Albany Ca 11/13/21 Late Show Punk 4K UHD Canon HFG50 Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

I have a very lengthy story/explanation to the day’s events, but I don’t have time now. Things went comically wrong and hijinks ensued. I’ll tell you later. One thing that went right was this angle (I filmed multiple angles), sound quality and performance. This is probably the best Dickies show I have ever seen, and I have been filming them since 1988! The crowd went nuts in that tiny place (it is only about 20 feet wide)- when you see that camera panned back and jiggling a little, that’s when I am getting HAMMERED by flying bodies. Thanks to my neighbors for helping keep people off me- I only got it bad once, right in the midsection.
The whole show is great, but the encores are the best. The crowd did great on the intro to Killer Klowns!

Dickies- Ivy Room, Albany Ca 11/13/21 4K UHD Multicamera with Rode Videomic Pro Audio

OK, buckle up, this is going to be long story.. but up front, the audio is NOT GOOD on this for the first 5min- it is Gopro Audio from the stage. Please forward past 5min if you can’t take it.
I coach my daughter’s soccer team and I didn’t think I was going to be able to make this show- the show started at 3pm- but I bolted out of there right when the game ended and made it to the Ivy right when Boneless Ones were setting up. I get permission to video them and I reach into my camera bag for my memory card wallet… and it isn’t there. I mistook my audio recorder case for the wallet. I am screwed- I am 2 hours from home and I don’t have a memory card for my main 4k camera.
I run back out to my car and begin a slapstick series of phone calls to local camera shops ($300 memory card- no thanks) thrashing through city streets to the Best Buy in Emeryville (20min each way) to beg employees to UNLOCK the memory card case NOW. I fly back to the Ivy, lose my parking spot and park blocks away, run into the club to see the Dickies setting up. Can’t believe I made it back in time. I was able to get 2 of my 3 Gopros set up and was able to pull it off.
Since my nerves were still on edge, I accidentally hit my start button twice on my main camera which started then stopped it, so I ended up not filming the first 5 minutes of the set with the main camera. That’s why the audio is bad.
Let’s not do that again.

The Dickies- Observatory, Santa Ana Ca. 1/4/20 4K UHD Master Video Punk Greg Hetson Circle Jerks

While on vacation with the family in L.A. last week, I was lucky enough to make it over to the Observatory and catch the 2 bands that I really wanted to see- TSOL (40th anniversary show) and The Dickies.
I have been going to see the Dickies since 1988. In fact, they were on of the first bands I ever filmed in May of 88. This show was the best I have ever seen them, hands down. Great set and great performance.
They announced that their LAST album is coming out soon… does this mean that they are going to stop/retire? Man, that would be a bummer.. but if they keep sounding like this, it will be good to go out on top.
Features an appearance by Greg Hetson on guitar on 1 song, and in the backstage audience behind Stan.

The Dickies- Blue Lamp, Sacramento Ca. 7/11/16 Multicam Punk Canon HFG30

This was a show I had been looking forward to for quite a while- Dickies/Queers/Moans, and so thankful that Stan let me video. With Leonard’s skin tone and the bright white spotlight on him most of the night (and dark on other parts of the stage), it made filming a challenge. Filmed with 2 Canon HFG10 and 2 Canon HFG30. Audio from the HFG30 with Rode video pro microphone. Thanks to Agelos for the edit.

The Dickies- Berkeley Square, Berkeley Ca 4/30/89 xfer from master tape Enhanced Live partial show

Hi Everyone,
I could use your help on this one. I had recently bought the Sony ECM-909 microphone for my Aiwa CV-80 camera and filmed the Dickies. I FORGOT to turn on the mic for the first half of the show, so this is only the part of the show with audio. If anyone has audio of the complete set from this show, please let me know as I can synch it up with the (currently) silent video. Thanks!
