taping policy?

ilduclo · February 16, 2011, 11:39:10 AM

I've recorded audience tape a few times, and have seen vid being pulled, too, has anyone got the info for whether the band allows sbd feeds?

thanks, ild

Not sure what a sbd feed is but they allow taping for sure. my friend has taped them many times. go to www.southernshelter.com and check it out. there's also some harvey milk shows and one thrones show and the jesus lizard reuinion among many others.

You should always politely ask first but you prolly already knew that

sbd = soundboard

when I wanted to tape them in 2006, I asked Mackie and she said it was cool with the band as long as the venue is cool with it≥

Buzz said so a long time ago that they're cool with it. He said he was down with
"...any means that spreads the word about the band is OK with us..." short of
professionally released for profit bootlegs

In December 2009 I was allowed to tape with mics, but the sound guy wouldn't let me record from the board.

By the way, is anyone in touch with them? I would want to ask if they're cool with having their live recordings on archive.org, but I have no clue how to contact them...

Perhaps through Ipecac?

Sometimes the venue dosn't want you to. Which is something I don't understand. But from my experience the Melvins are cool with taping and video as long as you are not selling them.

no, the sound guy at that show was definitely with the Melvins, no loco from the venue. thanks on the hint about Ipecac

The band has no problem with taping, audio or video. I've asked Buzz and Dale a few times. If a venue tells you the band said no taping, call them on it, they're full of shit. As far as a soundboard recording, I think that would be up to the guy running the board. I've seen some venue's ( Showbox, Berbati's ) that I've never seen a problem with a guy hooking into the board.

All that being said, I would think that if the band ever did another full on live dvd, and hired their own videographers, they might not want bootlegs getting out, and they might not let camera's in. A few years ago at the GAMH I was told I couldn't take my camera into the second night of the Jello 5-0 shows. Jello had his own guys filming. Luckily, the manager of the venue saw me and let me in with my camera. And now years later, no video has come out. So I'm glad I was able to tape. Same place that told me I would have to pay a $5000 fee if I used a tripod. Same place that got all over Dan Raymond for filming. The security is usually hired gorilla's. Try to talk to someone with authority.

Short story, try to get your stuff in. If you can't then you can't. And it can never hurt to ask the soundguy if you can plug in.

I've heard some good and bad soundboards. But some of the best recordings have come from the exact process you describe. If the levels work out right, I like to be able to hear the crowd in a live recording. Sometimes with a soundboard, you don't get that at all.

With that being said, I still prefer video

There will be at least 4 people (myself included) filming the London, ON show in a couple weeks and another guy recording the audio. I smell a multi-cam DVD...

this makes me very happy

That's awesome! It sure as fuck couldn't happen at the Opera House with their
police state security goons. Definitely hoping for an audio recording of the
Opera House show again by Corpusse though. His 2010 boot was legendary!

Dumpster D · June 24, 2012, 11:40:03 PM

No mention of the tape I sent you Conda?

I had to go to a lot of bullshit to tape that, plus the sound of the show was too Low end...the house PA sounded like It was being torn apart.

Fuck.

The Operahouse can go fuck itself.

I would have put a 10" reel up to the board If they would only let me.

THEN we could see whos got the most legendary sounding bootleg.

taping policy?
