Not enough alcohol. Actually, it was a pretty easy gig. I'll probably do it again when next the Queen scampers.
As for the back of the house shot, I had a plan. Damn me and my plans. I was going to set up the camera on the tripod and have one continuous shot from it. Then I could run around with the other cam and get some close ups and medium shots which I would cut into the main vid.
Well, the tripod was too low, although it was as high it could go. I should have set the focus on the back of the house camera to infinity so the stage would have been more in focus. Since it was on auto-focus every time somebody walked close to the camera, it shifted. And I would have lit the whole thing with a bunch of lights hotter than the sun so I could see what was going on.
I don't know what to do about the sound. I turned my microphones down low on the camera so it would peak, but it peaked anyway.
Next time.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
