Recording #10

I convinced Kristen to take a trip to Cleveland for this new year's eve show.  We flew in.  We had time to take a tour of the rock and roll hall of fame.  We took a cab out to the Beachland Ballroom.  I made a mistake thinking we'd get a 2am cab back to the hotel after the show, but we hitched a ride with some other fans and it all worked out.

I remember Dan's dad, Chuck, selling posters at the merch table.  I was able to get mine signed by Pat and Dan.

I didn't record the opening bands, Party of Helecopters, This Moment in Black History, or Bob's Country Bunker.  We did get a front of the stage spot and I positioned myself in a good spot to film.  I got the countdown to midnight, but then the camera failed.  I didn't know it until the end of the show.  Quite disappointing, but that happens.  There were several other cameras filming.  I think some people were trying to sell a dvd of this, but that was shut down.  The big rule for live recording is to share freely and not to profit from audience recordings.

I did have my audio recorder working.  This video is a combination of my audio, my short video of the countdown and then the other video that has been posted on youtube.
