I get nowhere near such good results from my camera. It's a Samsung WB700 and, while the HD video quality is great, the audio sounds terrible. Did you have to take special measures to make sure the audio doesn't get clipped due to the volume? I've been sat/stood in the same position at regular shows, got great video, but the audio was awful. Any tips would be much appreciated.

In addition to good video performance, the top end Lumix has a very good dolby audio mic stereo system. It is incapable of overload in my experience. (6' from Glenns' bass amp at BCC gigs.)
Another cool review. http://www.jambands.com/reviews/cds/201 … ant-groove

Yup, been there myself. Audio was a mess, especially the intro of 'Black Country'.
I saw Alice Cooper back in November and was sat right at the back of Sheffield City Hall (not a large venue, but still no low ceiling club) and the volume could not have been considered loud. The audio was still unuseable. I'm very surprised it's not possible to set the recording level/mic sensitivity. It is quite a cheap camera though.
Been considering sticking a block of sponge or foam over the mic holes in the camera body to see how that works out

I would scrap your current camera and just get the lumix DMC-ZS19 or 20. They really are not all that expensive especially when you consider their capabilities. For about $250 you get an extremely portable camera with a top quality 24mm wide angle leica lens with 20x optical zoom, AVCHD/MP4 HD video and stereo mics with a built in limiter. You can't go wrong with this camera.
It's pretty cool that Joe tweeted a picture that I sent to him. Another reminder of a great show and great person.
Here is Octopuse-E from the first night second set.
Rick, I think you and I had the same situation with the Root Down and Ode to Gee on the first night. They never really stopped playing in between those songs, so we both kept the cameras rolling. I was starting to get a little worried when I got to the 22 min mark because the camera only wants to do 26 minutes for each new record time, and I thought they might play beyond my alotted time. Luckily it ended at 22:39. Our internet is so slow, it took almost 12 hours to upload it! The "stage" space was so small for them and Joe was so into his solo at one point that he bonked his head right into his microphone (7:19). He got a somewhat dazed look on his face but kept right on jamming 
Here is a little snippet. Joe's solo at the end of Heartbeat on the first night, second set. Also contains the end of Ron's solo.
Is Rock Candy Funk Party named after the old Montrose Song, "Rock Candy"? What a great old song!! Joe could do a cover of that song with no problem, I think. I would like it.

That's bad a**. Very cool, I could listen to more of that. A lot more.

Wait for it, wait for it...
It's all there.

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

"Another cool solo by Joe starting at 3:39 on this version of Work from the second night, first set. Unfortunately Joe and Ron both block my view of Mike during Mike's solo, so instead you get about 3 min of Joe's butt at that time, oh well.

I don't know if its named after that song,but YES would love Joe to do Montrose!
...well after receiving my signed CD from way over a big pond from Rick... there is one particular track i just hit and hit and hit... came up with a some video of what this music translates to me and i'd like to share it with you all... hope Joe and the boy's don't mind!? ...my best tens of minutes of many spent...

Well done!
That was a great result from 10 minutes of siggy gathering! That bass line gets me in that frame of mind too. Nice and groovy Pete.
Rick
Wow, Pete, those images coupled with that song makes for a hauntingly beautiful video. What a great job.
Natasha
That was excellent Pete! An interesting choice of imagery.
