Title: any one tapeing jack johnson
Post by: bl6216@yahoo.com on September 08, 2004, 02:40:16 AM
I am going to tape jack johnson in NY on 9-13 and want to know if any one is going to tape that show so I can clamp my mic's  to they stand.  I don't have a stand yet and I know that jack dose not let stand in to his shows. But is it the same becouse it is in the park or is still the same.

If he doesn't allow stands, then his policy over-rides that of the venue.  (That basically means no stands what-so-ever.) Therefore, I don't know how you're gonna clamp to someone's stand if what you're saying is true.

Uhh yeah, his policy says no stands so I am still trying to figure out what the hell I am going to do for the Gorge show.   I'll be interested to hear how people's experiences go for taping this tour.

BTW, I will be taping the ACL show, but I am sure there will be several copies of that one floating around. ;)

I'll be taping Philly - somehow.  I'm hoping I'll be able to clamp or duct tape the vert bar to the lighting/sbd rig.  If not, I guess I'll just have to be a human mic stand. :)

I may do the Merriweather show in MD. Depends on our seats I guess. My understanding is it's all GA. Not sure how many will wanna be in seats vs. the lawn...

I saw him on Wed in Cleveland.  I tried to get my full rig in the door and they said no stands.  Since I run bluelines there was no reason to bring the rest of the gear in so I took it back to the car.  I stuck my d7 and a few patch cables in my pockets just in case.  Once I got in I talked to Jack's sound guy for a while.  He said they don't allow stands but don't police the crowd that much.  If you run at head height you'll get away with it and they won't really care.  I also talked to G-Love's sound guy(I have taped them before).  After talking for while he offered me a soundboard patch right before G Love went on.  Unfortunatly it was xlr and I didn't have those cable on me so I was forced to drink alot of red hook esb and enjoy the show.

I'm assuming that G-Love's sound guy (Chris I think is his name) was only giving the patch for G's set? That's sweet that he's doing that. He's always been a cool guy when it comes to taping. I missed out on a sbd patch the last time he was in VA because it was XLR and I didn't have the cables. I'll make sure I have them for the Merriweather show.

Outdoor stores sell walking sticks that have a 1/4" thread on top (covered by a round knob on mine) -- mine extends up to almost 6' and collapses down to a bit over 3' -- you could "limp" in with one of these and quickly set it up as a monopod/etc. to get around the no stand rule

Hey thegreatgumbino I think it is going to be hard to find one they was only 1 tapre that I saw and he sad that he don't have the time to trade it is just for him. But iof I find one I will post it up here for trade. Do you have any from this 04 summer.

I attempted to get a pull, but the nice, sweet, kind, caring drunk a$$hole$ around me didn't appreciate it very much. Plus I was in the lawn. Got G-Love but it is not of tradable.

Well I am gonna give it a go at the Gorge this weekend...with no stand and all I am sure it'll be fun ;p

I am firstly worried about wind noise because is windy as hell there and secondly worried about crowd noise.   At least the entire place is GA so we can move around to anywhere...still exactly not sure where the best spot would be.

So rumour has it G Love's soundman is giving out patches for just their set, right?   Hmm, that could be a good option if we can somehow get it at the Gorge(doubtful).

I've got the ones off the Archive.  Should have the one from ACL Fest in a while.  A couple guys I know taped it.

Donavon Frankenreiter.  Not the old Donovan you are probably thinking of.

I taped the philly show.  Alex is going to convert my tape because, well because he offered to. :)

Sounded pretty good, except that the levels were way low thanks to me misreading the jb3's crappy digital meters.
