Hey guys...
Im looking to tape the Nov 9th show at the Music Mill in Indy. I typically tape DMB and other larger bands with very specific taping policies.
Does Stephen have an offcial policy somewhere?
Can I bring my stand and run my rig from up by the board? This is what I typically do at the Music Mill.
Any help would be really appreciated...
First things first: Yay for the Music Mill show! To answer your question the best I can--I'm sure Claude or one of out other tapers will have a far better answer than me, but here's what the taping policy stated on the old website. From here.
"One of the things I've always loved about shows and music is taping. I used to be really into the Grateful Dead and collected tons of tapes. Later it was bands like Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews and most recently Ryan Adams. As a fan of music, I love that stuff and love the idea of our fans being able to pass around our adventures on the road. I would encourage you to tape the SK6ERS shows for personal, non-commercial use and trading. I'm especially into the idea because for the time being we're not able to offer high quality recordings of all our shows to you (although we're working on that for the future). Due to our commitments to our recording company, and because I don't really like Soundboard tapes unless they are really well mixed, we aren't able to allow soundboard patches or video recording (which can look really ghetto anyway, and sometimes takes away from what the night was). If you do bring in your video camera and we let it go, don't turn around and do something stupid like sell it on the Internet... but I like to think that our fans are the kind of people who wouldn't do that. So yeah, it's ok with us if you tape...oh yeah... two other things; make sure that your taping gear isn't in the way of anyone's view or experience at the show and please do send us a copy to: Fat Sam Music, 261 Crescent Street #1, Northampton, MA 01060. "
I assume that this is still the case. Hope that helps!
thanks...
i was more trying to find out if I need to get prior clearance, or if they will inform the venue that people may be coming to tape.
I taped ingram hill and it was a pain in the ass with security. Finally they grabbed the tour manager and he took good care of me. Is there someone I can request in the event I have trouble getting through security?
cousin jess?
Yeah, I agree with Amanda. Either Cousin Jess or Shady should be your point people in Team SK6.
more often than not the venue knows, at least with regards to kellogg. never been (or even heard of) the music mill, so i don't know what the security is like there, but take a copy of the taping policy (that someone posted above), and you should be fine. if not, ask for jess.
edit: you wouldn't happen to also go by mrpeters on another board, would you?
yes, im mrpeters
i assume you know me from TDC or Ebasement?
ebasement. though i suppose i've seen you on tdc as well.
hope it works out for you to tape this show. Please tape the opening band, Alternate Routes, too if you can.
If only this wasn't a 9 1/2 hour drive for me and I didn't have classes. I want to roadtrip so bad to this show! But I'm glad that you're going to try to tape it at least! =)
