I had fun standing 2 feet from the soundman/SBD and knowing he had no clue what was going on.

Standing...and standing...and standing some more. Oh yeah, and standing. And then there's the not moving. At all. Not that it's not "the shit", but I wouldn't call it "fun stuff".

I gave up stealthing. I just couldn't stand there without moving and people always seemed to want to talk to me. I stealthed moe. in 99 at the fillmore when they weren't allowing taping and I had this girl come right up anf talk to me, when I pointed to the mics she just started taling some more then I said to her I am taping please be quiet and she just talked some more. That sucked. The shows turned out great though, and I think I am the only one that was taping. +t to all you guys who are stealthing still, I tip my hat to you.

The problem with stealthing is that you always seems to be pissed at the audience when doing it. The drunk that shouts in your ear is always there and the teenage girls always stands beside you talking about something really stupid.

But what can you do when you live in a country where open taping is non existent.

blu666z · « **Reply #12 on:** July 30, 2004, 04:34:05 PM »

But it does seem to have an advantage in annoying talker situations. Move. Lot easier than moving a 8' stand around.

mmm stealthing, nothing like having the soundguy come up after the show and go "HEY.. YOU WERE TAPING!" *look innocent, realize I get busted, then sigh* Yes. *meanwhile flipping a blank into my dat and shoving the taped copy into my pouch near my ass* *soundguy comes closer and hands me a card* ... "can i get a copy?"

fucking priceless. +T to stealthing. Mmm.

silverbullet · « **Reply #20 on:** July 31, 2004, 12:10:13 AM »

Just got back from a show. The two seats to the left and right of me were empty. Crowds been quiet so far and then these young drunks come by and plop down for some closer seats. This dude introduces himself saying "Hey, I'm Wess and I'm loud and obnoxious. I'm going to go nuts and get you crazy as well"

Well, I told him I was the quiet type and preferred to be left alone and to enjoy the show. He drank some more and was actually pretty quiet during most of the show. Whew. Then there was this one girl behind me asking me to sit down. At a rock show? You got to be kidding me, especially since there were plenty of seats around and she could've shuffled her lazy ass a couple of seats over for a clear view. I just gave her a wierd look.

Stealthing certainly isn't as fun especally getting through the gate but still worth it. Better than nothing.

firmdragon · « **Reply #21 on:** July 31, 2004, 12:16:18 AM »

something similar happened to me. i was filming an outdoor free show. standing up neaer the back. someone behind me taps me on the should and tells me to sit down. they had dobermans. i had to comply.

Hey, i'd love to get a copy! Drop me a pm if you're willing to trade.

OT: Yeah, nothing is worse than worrying about a fan ratting you out or worse, the band noticing your stealthing. I caught BOC at BB King's last year and at the end of the show the bassist and singer we're chatting on stage and staring at me...i got the hell outta there in a heart beat.

I caught BOC at a free outdoor show 5/23/03. It looked real casual. I was thinking that next time I could just bring a stand and a lawn chair. My DAT heads weren't aligned well on my unit that night

Anyway, I know people who were even video taping the show while walking around on the lawn. I didn't even think twice that stealthing was the way to go this night, it's just what I normally do.

4" lace up high heels
tank top
cute shorts/skirt with hidden pocket and shirt tied around waist to hide it
run the mics up the back, up into the hair, through braids
put sunglasses on head
attach mics to sunglasses aka: looks like one of those weird glasses holders thing
don't move the fucking head.

Tonight. Second row for Breaking Benjamins, Seether, and Evanescence. Of course the three teenie boopers in front of me have to stand up. Everyone yelling "sit down". Tables turned from last night where people were yelling at me to sit down. $:-\$ So of course, everyone had to stand up for most of the show. Pat downs, people banging on chairs, yelling in cell phones. I'm getting to old for these younger crowds.

I'll give it to Seether; They layed it down.

ive had mixed experiences stealthing

i stealthed a hip hop show (eyedea&abilities) at the abbey pub in chicago, wow this place is great for taping
clipped my mics right on to the balcony, sitting 2 ft from the lighting guy and he didnt have a clue....tape sounds great too

here is a pic of the venue, this pic was taken a lil to the left of where i taped, the metal bars on the balcony were vibrating a little from all the bass but it doesnt sound like it affected the tape

ill post an mp3 sample later

but once i tried stealthing o.a.r. & particle at summerfest in milwuakee because summerfest doesnt allow taping and it was fucking chaotic, i was in the 2nd row,but benches are all infront of the stage and ppl were standnig on them and falling off, i got knocked over like 10 times
....the tape sounded better than i expected though

-Kevin

on the contrary, if you're open taping 1) your mics are high above the chatters so you likely won't pick up their entire conversations as loud as the music 2) you can tell them to shut the fuck up and not have your own voice louder than the music on the recording

also, good luck with that moving and finding another good spot thing in the middle of a packed sold out show...it just doesn't happen that easily and the tape will be screwed up the entire time you're moving..even if it is during talking between songs or something.

something i like to do personally is turn the cap so the mics are pointed at the stacks but i'm still looking at the stage. that way i don't stand like a dumbass staring at the stacks...granted i look like a dumbass (or jason mraz) with a crooked cap, but whatever.

Hiding your mics is for wimps!!

Real men fly thier mics at 12', fob/dfc, with prayer flags attached, without asking permission to record!!

And just how do I get a stand through a pat down? Down my pants and walk through with a big grin on my face

As it turns out, yes he is! A guy from Springfield, IL brought down a full rig (481>psp3>adc-20>M1) and was allowed to set up at the back-right corner of the board area. I still decided to run the CSB's FOB and am pleased with the results. Thanks again to Heath for the CSB loan!

Stealthed Clarence Clemons temple of soul tonight. Got a very good spot only a little bit to the left but not to much. First hour went like a charm. Not much talking at all so I was happy and enjoyed the show.

Then it started raining, not much but with mics in hat you can clearly hear it. The people behind me left and two drunk guys took their spot. Suddenly one of the guys screms OOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUH, BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE (wrong concert asshole) straight into my mics. someone said Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. but he just kept on shouting about every 30 seconds. His friend wanted to go to the front but nooo.

It could have been the perfect evening but some drunk ruined it for me and many others who had to listen to him. Even when I listen to the tape I can´t make out much of what he is shouting.
