Thanks for your comments.

There were two cameras, both in fixed positions i think. One was on a 
tripod and could be rotated I believe. Don't know the makes or models 
off hand. Microphones were in the cameras, and there was a small on the 
table right in front of me. The video and sound were recorded into a 
laptop, and then edited, enhanced, etc later. The recording/editing was 
done by a Japanese couple. And our guitarist helped with the editing.  
The lighting was just the normal bar lighting. I played through our 
small Yamaha PA, using a Harmonica Honker or the vocal mic. That's 
really all I know.

The bass and guitar amps were were not miked; no lines into the PA 
either. The drummer has one of those things that looks like an 
oversized floor tom, with the snare on the top and the bass drum on the 
 bottom and struck from the bottom. If you are a former drummer, then 
you probably know what I mean.

I'm using a D Hering 1923.

To John: Most of the patrons were behind the cameras at the bar and in 
booths. I guess there were about 20 people there.

And for what it's worth, there is no music cover charge. As I said, for 
fun, and for FREE too.
