Here’s Victims Family’s opening set for the Mr. Bungle show. I got word that I got a ticket a few hours before the show, and after some back and forth with security, I made it into the venue about 10min before VF started playing. It was really strange to see VF play in such a large venue. I am seen them many (20?) times in small clubs.

Here is a first look at the Mr. Bungle show from last Saturday night. I need to recover another 5-10 minutes of the show (including my favorite song of the set, The Crumbsuckers’ Sit There), plus I need to degrain it and hopefully find a better audio source to synch to it. Stay tuned. Regardlerss, this turned out pretty damned nice. I LOVE the ZS200.
So I went into this with no expectations. I figured they’d play the demo and a few covers as a goof and be done. I did NOT expect for my face to be completely melted off. What an amazing show- you MUST GO if you have the opportunity. Trey is a beast on lead guitar, Lombardo is (imho) the best metal drummer ever, and it was obvious they were all having a blast. Scott never stopped smiling!
I was able to cut down on the amount of out of focus shots by turning on continuous AF, but I realized it was eating batteries like crazy so I had to shut it off for the last 15-20 min.
MVP of the night includes the person who got me tickets (you know who you are- thanks!) and Daniel Hague, who not only gave up his spot to me so I could film, but he also stood in the merch line so I could get a shirt! Thank you so much.

Thanks to audio taper Jamie Lutch, we now have really nice Mr. Bungle audio for the 2/8/20 show that I filmed. For the past month-plus, we have been hard at work getting this audio to synch with the video- it would not cooperate. Huge thanks to Tromster for working so long and hard to make this synch, and to Jamie for taping the show!

Here is Cracker’s set from CVB’s 21st birthday party. It cuts during “Low”, I must have run out of battery or something. Part 2 of the CVB set is here as well

Man, I cannot remember for the life of me how the band was able to get me into the warfield with my video camera, and they also gave me soundboard access. I wonder if their (super cool) soundman did that for me. Anyway, I am super thankful because the video and audio turned out great. This was a special 21st anniversary show, so EVERYONE was there- Molla, Immergluck, and all the regulars. Except Bill, Bill was not there.

The end of the CVB set is about set is an hour and 4 min into this video:
I didn’t have much time to play around with remixing this one (5 hours of meetings before noon!)- this is totally flat right off the DAT. The bass is a little boomy, but sounds pretty decent for a recording from the balcony.

Here is the Sundays headlining set from that Luna warfield show. To be honest, I went to the show to see Luna, but The Sundays sounded great live. I was able to remix this one a bit in Sony Soundforge to take a bit of the bass boominess out and touch up the midrange a little.

Some friends were asking that I post this one. I was fortunate enough to see COC, Soundgarden and Danzig in 1990 at the Warfield. I recorded from the balcony so the recording suffers from the poor acoustics up there. I think I used a Sony ECM-909 mic.

Here’s a recording from the last time I saw C.O.C. They were playing a huge venue, opening for Soundgarden and Danzig. I got there late and did not recognize many/any? of the songs. I got the last 20min of the set.

Another one from Tour Manager Doug today. This is the other show that was related to a great personal memory. I saw this tour the next night (in San Jose)- it was the first time that we ever went out of town for a concert. I was so excited to see Accept- they were one of my favorite bands and this was my first time seeing them. I went nuts, annoying the hell out of everyone around me during their set. I was also a big Saxon fan, but Accept were #1 in my book.
This one is unfortunately incomplete. Doug mentioned that he went to the San Jose show (for Accept only, then over to the Stone for Megadeth– what a time to be alive) AND the Santa Rosa show, so we might see those posts in the future. I still have vivid memories of Udo up there with those fingerless gloves on. Haha.
