I shot this a few months ago. I wasn’t sure he was going to play at all because the show got off to a slow start and when I found out he had his sitar I got what equipment I had in the car and lit a small intimate scene where he could sit in the middle of Ida Red’s stage. I bumped the camera towards the end and had a tough recovery but overall it is really great to go back and watch it.
Ashley Raines did a show on Thursday at Ida Red. This was the second show that I recorded with my new Zoom H4n. I recorded the vocals on one track and the mic’d instruments on another and then also recorded the room with the built in mics of the H4n. It is so much easier than trying to do the room sound from the camera and then trying to sync it all up afterwards.
On the right is a picture of my H4n with it’s red wig. It works very well in keeping the wind noise to a minimum. It is nice to have a huge amount of video and audio gear that is all black and grey and have this bright red mop pop out.
I had a great time last weekend with Keaton Simons at Ida Red. I changed the frame rate for this one and I think YouTube likes 24 frames per second a lot more. No one will probably notice anything but subconsciously it is always there.
As the weeks go by and I shoot more bands at Ida Red this Keaton show is always a good one to look back on. It had a great crowd and a great performance.
I am enjoying the shows that have been at Ida Red lately. I really enjoyed Rockin Acoustic Circus and Will Crum. Actually my favorites haven’t been finished yet but they will go up soon enough. I ran out of storage space and had to stop for a little bit until I could get some more room.
Here is Rockin Acoustic Circus’ episode.
And here is the goofy Yellow Pansies. They were quite a show and I am even in this video.
Update: I went and it was awesome. Here is most of the Will Crum Artist Session. Because of the YouTube 10 minute limit I couldn’t put it all on there but you can subscribe to the Ida Red podcast to see the whole show. You are missing a Buddy Holly song with the YouTube version. In the future I will need to keep 10 minutes as my hard limit.
Last night after watching Tinted Windows I went to watch Andrew Bird at Cain’s. I found out about Andrew Bird a few weeks ago because he was on one of my favorite shows called From the Basement. Then after that I found out he was a big deal. Check out the video.
