guitard: Does your videocam have manual exposure?Manual exposure is pretty critical, especially in a setting where the guy you are videotaping is wearing white (or light) colored clothing and playing a white guitar.

Yes. I played around with it the night before to get the same settings I had for the 2012 shows I did, but I spaced on adjusting it during the show. I got to the venue about 5:30pm from AZ, had about 3 hours sleep the night before, so I was tired before it even started. I had a few issues during the show too.. A near fight between security & a guy who didn’t belong in the pit during SGMAD, right in my row in front of me. My battery died before Dirty Movies, I was pissed, thought I had a few more minutes. For being in the 3rd row, I had to dodge phones like crazy! It seemed like there were 10 people in front of me sometimes. Usually I can stand really still filming, but this show was so damn fun to see, I couldn’t stand still too well. If anyone is on the fence about going, go, it is a great show! And, of course the lighting issue at times. When I zoomed tighter, its great. I have the whole show, just couldn’t get the first part to load into YT. I have 6th row for PHX, so hope to get a nice video from that show too.
