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...

As with the Evert cover video, this is something previously posted in the early 2Ks from a source mastered for VCD but now slightly upgraded to a version from a source mastered for DVD, which also happens to have some title overlays the other didn't, for some reason. I left the old version up, again, because it had a lot of views and a few comments and may have had the URL passed around. At a S...

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
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 3 lety
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. This download has been sitting on my comp...

The Frances Farmer Gals, featuring Scary Anne, Mistress Dawn, Vic "The Stick" Porter, and Rachel Haines(sp?). Probably in 2001. Dawn Panttaja (or anyone else who remembers) again please help! I don't have a specific memory of being at this show, but I think I would remember, so who shot this? I found evidence that I had spent some time trying to brighten the video from a very dark source with m...

My buddy Jed and I were there, drove up from Eugene. Incredible show, and that toilet paper mummy opening is the stuff of legend. So thrilled with I stumbled across this video, now people can see that I wasn't making stuff up, this time at least.
Jesus hell. These were the days.
The greatest band of our universe
Best!
These guys are great with OR without the toilet paper digs!

MaN . . . OR ASTROMUMMIES!!?!¡!?¿!
Got the day off, cleaning house. CZcams cranked up to 11, and this appears. I saw them in 1997 at the bayou in Baton Rouge, nostalgic vibes….
Glad to see a better quality version of this show
So their Halloween costume was dressing up as another band, The Mummies? That's pretty cool and kinda weird also...
"what's your costume?" 'i'm a crossfader.' i'd've laughed.
I was there. Such an amazing live show. Miss LaLuna and miss this era of Man or Astro-Man?
Portland was a great place back then.
did you try and steal starcrunch's jacket? 56.01
No, was not me.
@@ChrisSlowik i know
@@raycroal I stole Coco's helmet at one of those 1997 LaLuna shows. I still have it. It's only fair, I gave them a working TV, and other stuff over the years.
Can you upload the full episode
All the feels... Thank you, Mookie. The good ole days...
...he is hilarious and beyond talented and one-of-a-kind / buy his cd's or go se him !

Seen 'em in concert, they're brilliant!
awesome,
I want the fuckiin song starts at 19:48
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.

The real PDX OG’s right 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. Thank you for posting this.
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.
who who who doesnt love an epoxies meteor shower
Oh yeah. Live in Portland Oregon.
Wow! Great footage,too!
I love this band so much! This is the good America, this is the perfect America! From the sunsets of west coast to the dawns of the east.
This. 1000X *this*. I went to see them in concert. They were lousy (tired from a long tour) and it was still great. I bought a fuckton of vinyl plus the few CDs I didn't already have. I miss my EEVIAC CD with the punched holes in the cover.
I wonder if they gave that wheel to the California Lottery.
man. fantastic footage, fantastic cover!
Thanks! I had the surreal pleasure of Starcrunch telling me the same thing after a 2010 reunion show in Birmingham.
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.
Amazing! So much energy and the sound quality is awesome. Such a shame it was a one-off show, I wanna see The Epoxies live so bad.
@benkifle Honestly, the title of the first song is "Specific Gravity". If you're being clever I'm too stupid to get the joke.
well done! Man or Astro-man will rule the world soon.
fuck ass cool.
Great cover!
Oh yeah, it was probably film from 1981. The audio is from around 1979, though.
Quite interesting. I noticed too that the description says around 1979, but the intro in the video said 1981. Oh well> :-P LOL
sweet vid ~awesome job :)
Best live band I have ever seen.
Saw them 3x, great footage m8
"we interrupt this supersonic transmission to bring you this message...." (C'pt ZENO)

The most fun I ever had at a concert. Doesn't get any better than Man or Astoman?
Awesome, Mookie!
