KJ Tal sings New Rose by The Damned with the Karaoke From Hell Band at Dante's, Portland
Host and singer Talisman opens the night with the Karaoke From Hell band at Dante's in Portland, Oregon. As this was the first song when the mix is still being dialed in, and I was still figuring out a completely new camera/recorder, the vocal isn't as audible as it should be. Mine was a newbie mistake I should have remembered from days of old: standing too close to the stage means being way too off axis from the house mains to pick up the vocals and bass guitar well. I also had no idea how crazy wide-angle the lens was going to be. I miss using camcorders with useful viewfinders, smooth optical zoom, and the stability that comes with a little weight. Maybe I'll just go back to using tape and deal with the limitations of NTSC. This description brought to you by Sad Old Man Complains About Everything.

Man or Astroman? at LaLuna, Portland, OR, April 10, 1997
zhlédnutí 204Před 7 měsíci
The first of two shows MOA? played at LaLuna in 1997. The other is already here. The audio could benefit from some EQ, but is otherwise pretty good for a handheld camcorder*. Lots of wacky fun, including Coco setting his malfunctioning home-made Theremin on fire during Principles Unknown, a random drunk guy gets dropped on my head, accounting for a few seconds of missing footage during one song...

EEVIAC Tour stop at LaLuna in Portland, OR. Some pretty good close-up visuals, in between the random camera movement. I was being body-slammed by a guy behind me, so I gave up and left rather than get in a fight. The sound is awful due to it being a fancy new digital camcorder, with weak mics and poor management of it's 10 bits of headroom. I have full show video of two more EEVIAC shows that I...

My ~2006 cover version of the song, along with video I shot of the band, mostly in 1997, and a little from 1999. The video edit was also done ~2006. The older upload was from a VCD source, this one is from the original NTSC-DVD file. I don't want to delete the old one because it has a lot of views, some comments, and the link may have been shared around. I could do a better version of the video...
Man or Astro-man? 1997 Halloween show at LaLuna in Portland, Oregon

As my Halloween gift to the world: the best live band to ever visit Earth at the height of their powers. For the impatient, the first song starts at ~4:54. This is a fresh capture/upscale from the original Hi-8 tape. The video has not been re-encoded after initial capture prior to upload. The audio was captured losslessly, remastered, then remuxed with the video as 384kbps aac. The Tesla coil w...

For Jennifer and Jesse Lucas, this was a robot-generated edit of footage auto-uploaded to the google pictures thing. I'm guessing the color/contrast weirdness is due to effects added by them. Pretty sure the cheesy music they added is royalty-free. I guess I could have just shared a link to the original online copy, but I'm not even sure how to find it.

      Track 10 on the Laurelthirst show playlist on my Soundcloud is the same song. Calling it "Walking Round Town", but that is not the correct title. The arrangements are very different, but it is the same song, and the Laurelthirst version is much clearer. A studio session with this song will be posted to Soundcloud as soon as I can afford to buy more time/space there.

    ...interesting. I love that you panned around to show what they were doing; too many videos fail to do that. Chains didn't do much on the floor tom, but he produced some intriguing ambient syncopation from the snare as well as a lot of color from the ride. ...would love to see more of these, but it feels kinda lonely in here at 30 views, so perhaps yer not so motivated. ...alas.

      Belated thanks for the comment. I loved working on this record, and it ended up being the only full-length I worked on that got released on a label (a small, now defunct, indie label, but still, they toured off of this album in clubs all over the U.S.). The album version of this track, especially on headphones, is super spooky. The chains on the snare sound like ghosts of distant warfare. They liked it so much they included two versions, one forward and the other reversed.

    Sadly, I only managed to shoot the first three songs on video before the battery went dead. I have the whole show in good quality audio however, since that it what I was asked to do by the band. There were other guys with better cameras than mine shooting video, and I think it was all supposed to get edited together at some point, but as far as I know, it hasn't happened yet. I'll ask about it the next time I see someone from the band.
