Information on the Verbtones/Apollo Four show from Facebook. To tell the truth I saw this go by and didn't pay attention because I knew the Verbtones were playing the weekend before and I sort of vaguely assumed this was that. Saturday, November 2, 2013. 9:00pm in PDT. The greatest Portland surf music heavyweights The Apollo Four and The Verbtones see them together one for night ONLY! A show not to be missed folks!!! NO COVER FREE SHOW 9pm showtime The Starday Tavern https://www.facebook.com/events/432579653512835/?previousaction=join&source=1 Last edited: Oct 30, 2013 06:39:44 |

I hope everyone has an amazing time and there is a very large, enthusiastic, home-town crowd to celebrate Satan's Pilgrims! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

It was great! Set included most of the classic Satan's Pilgrims songs, originals and a few covers. |

It was a phenomenal night - the mighty Satan's Pilgrims always bring it. There were no Pyschosploitation tunes - no organ for Dave to switch to on stage. I didn't keep a setlist either. But, no matter. These guys clearly have a great time playing together. That lineup of three Showmans and a Bassman is certainly powerful. Ted was flinging candy to the assembled zombie throng throughout the set. It was great to meet Ted Pilgrim before the procdeedings. It was also great to ride the rail with Jonpaul, Marie, Ran and my wife Carol. John (Tuck) was also there with his brother and his wife and was going to try to do his usual yeoman's video duty - we shall see. Certainly fine seeing some of the SG101 crew on SP home turf on Halloween! I did miss seeing Brian's usual smiling face though :) You lucky stiffs going to the SF show will have a super time. Next up, The Verbtones and The Apollo Four on Saturday. Rick —Rick |

Pictures for the Crystal Ballroom Show These are mostly "over the video" (without flash) using a feature of the Sony HDR HC9 video camera. The venue didn't allow flash shots anyway. Last edited: Nov 05, 2013 18:58:56 |

The sound I got is definitely bass heavy and guitar light. This is at least partly due to me being close to the stage (so maybe too close under the suspended house sound) and on the bass side of the amp row. I used the Sony minishotgun set on 120 degrees, trying to capture as much as possible from close without going to omnidirectional and getting lots of crowd. Maybe I should have gone with the internal mic. There's no way to get a good comprehensive view from close in if you're in the middle. The crowd was such that I couldn't have gotten anything from further out in the middle anyway, and lack of planning put me on the bass end of things. Hindsight is 20-20! Darren said he thought the sound was actually a little bassy over all, but he was centrally placed in the balcony and I hope he'll have a better balance. Wish I could have seen both shows or this show from both ends of the stage, but there were nice pluses to staying the weekend in Portland and I enjoyed the hell out of the show. |
