I thought I would share this with you. My friend (other guitarist in the band) posted a clip from this on another forum and I decided to rip my favorite from the performance. The show was recorded on an old VHS camcorder so the sound is marginal - basically as good as the internal mic of the camcorder could be. I made a DVD of the tape a ways back so this is just a rip from it heavily compressed for internet delivery.

I'm the one on the far right playing my '83 Kramer Pacer Imperial and sporting the Harry Reams mustache :) This was a great evening and the music went well into the wee hours of the am on a Thursday night. The PUB was packed with people from 8pm to see all the bands that were lined up that evening. You get it all here...a raucous performance of a cool tune, bodies being chucked all over the place, beer flowing, crowd appreciation, etc. Fun, fun, fun...

Hope you enjoy. The file is 7.7mb.

LOL!!! It looks like that night was WAY too much fun!! Not playing guitar at that point in time, I would have been mixing it up with the rugby style dancers you see cross the screen a coupla times. ;-)

P.S. Nice Grolsch sign in the background! :DR

Misty water color memories - of the way we were.

That looked like a fun gig unless they took the moshing to the stage. Isn't it great to look back? That touched a lot of memories in me too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I guess :) I assure you I am not flamboyant as he was. Haahahahaha.
