I had the privilege of filming HEALTH’s show in Detroit a few weeks back. We were able to get in for soundcheck and set all of our cameras up and get a soundboard patch. The footage came out EXCELLENT. I have sent the mix to the band and hopefully they will do something with it. In the meantime, here is their cover of Deftones “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” from the show!

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with FUZZMONSTER and archiving his master DAT collection. They have recorded over 1,000 different concerts ranging from 1993 to the present.

Missed their shows in Atlanta, Detroit and Charleston but made up for it big time in Cleveland. A dead center, front row balcony ticket to an unobstructed view and a very polite crowd around me. Sound was fantastic and I waited until I saw this band live to see/hear any of this material and not on their live releases. Epic stuff. Also real stoked how well the audio and video turned out!

I’ve been waiting 23 years to see Underworld live. They haven’t been to Detroit since 1999. Insane when you think about how Detroit is the capitol for Techno. A great way to close out Movement Festival with them playing the main stage. As always, the sound was impeccable and visuals were stunning.

Last time I saw Cold was my first show since the Pandemic at this very venue. This is one of Adam’s favorite bands, so I made sure I was going. Had a great time at the meet and greet before the show.

During the pandemic I pulled out all of my master recordings and did full digital transfers of everything. This was one of them. Back when Death Cab allowed open taping and right as Transatlanticism was being released and they would blow up. Death Cab was opening for Ben Kweller at this time. So crazy to think nowadays… I took my brother’s Hi8 cam to film the show and my cassette recording rig. Simpler times and although the recordings are shitty, it brings back a lot of good memories.

Received the Hi8 master tape of Linkin Park’s set from June 08th, 2001 Tinley Park show. Pretty crazy to see this pop up on eBay.

Getting to see my favorite band one last time this year. An amazing day hanging out with my brother and good friend Zack prior to the show just catching up and talking about our favorite band/music. Short trip flew in/out for it, but so worth it. Opening with Somewhat Damaged, I never get tired of it. Tapes came out epic. Riot Fest always has the best sound.

Met up with Tyler of the Rage Against the Machine Archive (ratm.live) who is hitting every show in the US this tour in Raleigh. Epic show. Really happy how my audio and video recordings came out for this one. Which you can see below.

This one was unexpected in the box of tapes from JAM. As it was not on any of the lists that I had from them. I only assume that this was from one of their 'Slickmode Europe' team members. But I am not sure at this point. It was a great shot film from the center balcony. There are a few spots of digital scratches on the tape/dropouts and this tape was tried on multiple decks to create a perfect capture. You can read more about the troubles of transferring these videos below. If you have any information on these tapes, or need help transferring your own collection of live recordings.
