Hey Woody, Adele, Band & Community,
I'm glad Woody posted the video. Good quality video from your new camera.

It wasn't as bad as I remember it. Granted not that good. Funny the camera mic cuts out the really bad distortion that threw most of us off at measure 3 and you hardly see any reaction from any of us, but that was were is started to go bad. The second round of distortion does get a reaction, like not again.

It is also interesting that at the beginning the camera catches me and others hitting a chord to check our levels and it sounded fine, not so when I hit my first chord in the song. I never did really figure out where we were until towards the end. The disappointment at our poor performance is pretty clear as were breaking down at the end. I'm over it, I hope the rest of the band didn't stress about it too much. We got up there and gave it a shot and for me it was a good experience. Practice was a lot of fun and we started to play well together. I hope we can play together again.

Hi Steve,
It's actually about 3 years old and a little behind the time compared to all of the HD stuff out there. It's better than DVD but not HD. Doesn't do a bad job. I did realize one of my video converters was messing up the video width and squeezing it. I've got it straight now so new videos uploaded should get better. Anyways, glad you guys enjoyed it and props to those brave enough to go up on stage. I'll do something next year for sure.

Yep video quality was good, pity the band wasn't the same but as you say we did we get up there and gave it a shot. I am not really stressed over it now. :D I think if we had another hour of practice we would have been OK. Also Dennis seemed to lose his levels at the start of the song not sure why?
I would be up to do this project again IF I ever make it back to Nashville.

Ok Folks, Adele said it was ok to post the gathering band video so here's the link:


The Gathering band performance

Hey Woody

Did I say that?????????????? I thought I said lets see what the rest of the band says Oh well not to worry.
At least we started OK and ended OK the middle bit well it leaves a lot to be desired but at least it was fun. 8) 8)
This will probably kill this thread now. :D

Adele

Sorry Adele! I thought you said to post it My bad....

No Problem Woody, just watch your back next year if you make Nashville or the UK Gathering.

Thanks for all the uploads guys.

Well done to everyone in the jazz ensemble.

Tom,

Is that really the guy I met in 2008 that would not even play a guitar in a music shop up on that stage ?

[Kent]

Thanks for sharing the links. :D

[cowanrayl]

Your solo sounds great Tom.
I think I got through mine without any major mistakes. But as I suspected, it sounds more like a solo for a country song instead of Jazz. I just haven't been able to retrain my brain yet from country/bluegrass to Jazz.

[Tom]

Well, I finally got the firewire adapter I needed for the camcorder. I'll slowly upload the solo videos one by one. Hope you enjoy them. BTW, I might need some help with naming a few of the videos. Finally, if you don't want yours posted, please PM me and i'll remove it.

Jazz Ensemble

Thanks Woody! I have been wanting to see that. I made a few small mistakes on that solo but otherwise not bad.

[woody9wood]

Ok, here's the link to the acoustic ensemble. Hope you enjoy it

P.S. YouTube was still processing it the last time I checked so the video may be a little fuzzy but it should get better.

I thought the B Bender was very interesting. I'd never heard of it before. I also thought it was pretty funny when Brent talked about the physical contortions he has to go through to use it while sitting down. He said he was afraid he looked like he had some sort of neurological condition. :D

[Tom]

Next up is a twofer from Brent and Randy Mason

Brent and Randy Mason -Unknown Song- Great pickin' on this one and the B bender gets a workout.

^ I thought I heard Steve say they weren't recording video - they were just shooting so the images could be put up on the big screen. At least that's what he told Russ Barenberg if my memory serves.

[Kevin The Ibsen]

Any word on the videos Legacy shot?

[Eddie N]

Thanks Tom, can't wait to check them out. You did a good job recording them!
