Last Thursday night my band Sweet Nasty opened for Creedence Clearwater. Here are a few photos from the show. Video is coming soon as we did a 3 camera shoot and it's being edited this week.

Photos aren't the best but the video is looking good from what I've seen. More to come as I get it.....

Nice! Way, way, way bigger than the place I played at yesterday. Dude that is seriously cool. I will probably never play in an arena.

Thanks man. You'll play an arena someday. You've earned it!

That was far from my first arena show but it has been 7 years since the last and man I missed it. Just that first stomp on the bass drum in sound check through 80,000 watts brought a tear to my eye! We get to do it all over again with Foreigner in September (we hope). cool.gif

Ok, so here's a rough version of the opening song, "Big Blue Star". This isn't the "final cut" by any means, just something to watch. Minimal Editing here....waiting for other camera footage. Keep in mind this is a "board mix" so the vocals are over the top. The video gets more exciting as it goes.

Not bad for a rough cut with no house mixed in. The room mics will fill out the mix nicely. Were there room mics set up or will you be using the camera mics?

Your drummer and sax player stole the show.

What instrument do you play again?

Here's a rough cut of "Girl on Girl". (although this is more polished)

That is really cool man. Your drums sound fantastic. They really got your hi-hats and cymbals mic'd really well, which is usually not the case in live performances. I agree - you stole the show. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Nice! Looks good! Sometimes the onstage cameraman becomes too much part of the action, but he's getting some cool shots.

 

Love the guitar solo in that one.
