The California videos exist, but require much work to sort through and convert. The 1st step is for Sammy DZ (the Prisoner) to locate all 9 tapes of the 3 shows. There's 9 hours of material that exists and I plan on converting/ posting. It will take a while. I'm off to LA for a week for work so, we probably won't get started on it until the 16th.
As for Marcus Kelly, I obviously wasn't at he North West shows, but I was at Santa Cruz. What he lacked in musicianship he more than made up for in personality and stage presence. I dare say his set was my favorite of the evening, because it was just so damn enjoyable, and he's FUNNY!
back to the shows, believe me, I'm dying to see the vids too.

If you don't have anything nice to say about someone who went up there and tried his best, as I did, you should have kept it to yourself. Besides that you implicitly impugned my good friends Ken and Spud.
To you, sir, and to all I have offended with my unjustified and clearly unpopular rant -- I'm sorry. I was wrong. Not only did you hang your balls out for all to see, you did it with confidence and charisma. Which -- as has been pointed out here -- I did not. And while I found parts of your performance to be a bit, shall we say, self-indulgent -- I realize that there's really nothing wrong with that. It was obviously meant to be exactly what it was. Your audience enjoyed it, and now rightly defend it. After all, if everyone was the same, we'd all suck. (Edit: that is not a slam!)
Again, my apologies. My bad.
And regarding my first post -- my apologies to you, too, Rone.

Being a member of this community for almost 6 years now, I can say with the utmost of sincerity that Songfight is totally self indulgent. It's the backbone of why we do all this. My LA set contained only 2 Songfight songs (one of which Ken had to talk me into doing), and of the other 4 songs 2 of those were covers. I play what I want to perform. I use my performance to convince the audience that they want to hear it.
I wish I had been able to do the rest of the shows, and each night right around when you guys were going on I got jealous. Ken, you are the man for legging this one up. Next year, buses!

White people, is you funky?

I think PFM makes a good point. Most of us have so few opportunities to perform, specifically those of us who only perform at SongFight! shows, official or otherwise. Ken says "Play the hits" but before you do that 1 song everybody wants to hear (if you even have such a song) why not just play whatever you're going to have the most fun playing? You might not get a chance to play again for months, or a year, or more. Plus it's not like the crowd is full of people who paid to hear some good music, the crowd is us.

I am planning on cutting and labeling the tracks from the SF show this weekend. Right now the source tracks exist as 16 2.5 hour wav files (All sets except MintyHandy) and 16 12.5 minute wav files (Minty Handy set).
Once I get the source tracks split up I will upload them for your downloading pleasure and probably do some mixes of the stuff I like best (Minty Handy, zipline).
We had some issues getting my notebook, Sonar6, firewire and the mixer to all play nice together, but we managed to get most of the channels. We may be missing the left-side vocal mic and the mic on the Marshall.

My friends Eric and Natalie managed to record my set at the Bitter End (I wish they had stayed for the whole show! Blast!) My set wasn't QUITE as bad as I remembered, although it's hard to tell from the tape, which is something of a clip-y mess. Perhaps I'll post some highlights...if I can do something about that audio. Video looks surprisingly OK for such low light.

I kind of dig the idea that a lot of the recordings are grainy, or dark, or partial, or damaged in some way. Kind of adds to the mystique. Plus, we can claim the best performances we all did were "lost". Heh.
To all who jumped through hoops (and will be continuing to do so) to capture the memories and all that, thank you thank you thank you. As long as I know they exist, I'll keep my mouth shut and wait patiently.

It was surprisingly easy to convert my AVI to an FLV and put it in a Flash player on a Web page. Who needs YouTube? This has been shrunk down from 640x480 to 320x240, so it's kinda small. I may experiment with posting a full size video at some point.

Here's a brief clip of Zipline from the LA show. This one's full size and takes kind of a while to buffer before it starts playing:

Sadly my camera records mono 8-bit 11.025kHz audio, which is pretty weak.

I listened to Minty Handy's set on the way to work. The audio sounds great, but one song seems to drop out in the middle for a few seconds.
Thanks for doing this!

We were still fighting with the mixer vs. firewire vs. laptop vs. Sonar6. I had just upgraded to Sonar6 but hadn't actually used it until then, had never used firewire for a sound card, and had never used the laptop with the 16 channel mixer [it has a more-or-less dedicated machine at the warehouse/studio]. Getting the recording set up was last on the list of things to do for setting the show up. My dog ate my homework. It wasn't me, and you can't prove it anyhow. You're not the king of me.ken wrote:I listened to Minty Handy's set on the way to work. The audio sounds great, but one song seems to drop out in the middle for a few seconds.

Yeah - I heard his show was a tour de force of male erotocism.Billy's Little Trip wrote:HaHaHa! Marcus hung his nads out?Not only did you hang your balls out for all to see
Did he do that bit like I saw at Santa Cruz, where he calls for an extra mic to be brought out and he adjusts the stand to crotch height, for "Little Marcus", as he calls it. He then stripped completely naked and while singing "Moscow Idaho", a partially aroused "dude" sways back and forth looking for all the world like it was singing back-up vocals. The weird thing is, that from a distance it looked (and sounded) exactly like a small Phil Collins.
I think that is what happened at Santa Cruz, anyway. I may have had a few by this stage...
Now Marcus - this is where you reply with a vague 'I refuse to either confirm or deny this scurrilous nonsense' -type response, and Vioila!! A legend is born!
