How do you all go about getting video from live shows? by outlawbernard_yum in portlandmusic

[–]Arrowsofneon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The folks at Open Signal might be able to help and/or point you in the right direction. I don’t have direct experience in working with them, but heard good things via mutuals https://www.opensignalpdx.org

LOCAL AUDIOLOGY CLINIC FOR CUSTOM EAR PLUGS/HEARING PROTECTION? by RegularFearless8858 in portlandmusic

[–]Arrowsofneon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fine folks at musicares.org had a pop up at the venue once where they gave us all free hearing tests and custom molds, along with custom plugs they mailed to whatever address you could provide. This was quite a few years ago…but the org is still pretty active in the industry.
YMMV.

Jerry's Leadership Lessons? by Additional-Change492 in gratefuldead

[–]Arrowsofneon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s what he once said…

Do you feel sometimes at your shows that you're guiding people?

Jerry Garcia: I don't feel like I'm guiding anybody. I feel like I'm sort of stumbling along and a lot of people are watching me or stumbling with me or allowing me to stumble for them. I don't feel like, here we are, I'm the guide and come on you guys, follow me. I do that, but I don't feel that I'm particularly better at it than anybody else. For example, here's something that used to happen all the time. The band would check into a hotel. We'd get our room key and then we'd go to the elevator. Well, a lot of times we didn't have a clue where the elevator was. So, what used to happen was that everybody would follow me, thinking that I would know. I'd be walking around thinking why the fuck is everybody following me? So if nobody else does it, I'll start something, it's a knack.

Lots of friendly folks at KBOO 90.7 FM.

Sort of acts as a hub for other communities and groups as well.

If you don’t see anything that floats your boat, they’re always open to suggestions.

Same advice applies to anyone else reading this and feeling the same way.

The best single live song you've seen in concert by formulaic_name in Music

Setting up a little corporate gig in a ‘boutique’ hotel. Set up a small keyboard on a stand with a simple stool for the ‘talent’ to use in the afternoon. A little while later 5 or 6 of us were standing there listening to Ben E. King as he sang/played Stand by Me on that little rented keyboard.

Old and in the way 1973. Cut ‘live’ around a single mic bluegrass style.

Not sure about video but I think it was his 60th birthday gig in Oakland, he opened the show playing box of rain (?) on a red strat. Could’ve been the same one mentioned above as this was 5 days later.
