I hit RECORD and handed the deck to Luke with instructions to drop the deck onstage while I went to find parking. Within 52 seconds the deck was onstage next to the kick drum mic! I showed up at the 5:19 mark, moved the mics 20 feet away from the stage and placed them under a video tripod manned by a kind person I believe named Jed or Jeb. At 21:06 minutes into the show Luke remembered his GoPro and sent me to put it somewhere. We moved it a couple more times and ended up clamping it to the T-Bar on my mic stand. There were 9 files on the GoPro, number 5 was corrupted so there is a 10 minute gap in the middle of the video portion. This Frankenstein version has been stitched together using every image I could find online. Please feel free to use any portion of this project for your personal enjoyment!
