At the end I debut the videos I shot at the Concert for a Random Soldier over Memorial Day weekend. In the meantime, let’s throw out some jams with covers first.
This is a mid-Shore band called Blitzed who’s playing up at Marina’s in Blades as I write. It’s their take on Pink Floyd’s ‘Young Lust.’
Outdoor parties tend to make for fun (if raw) videos, and that was the case with this one from Freshly Squeezed. I’m guessing they closed out their summer with this Sublime cover.
Lower Class Citizens checks in with this Live Lixx performance from last November. Haven’t heard a lot from them lately; hopefully it’s a sign of good things to come.
Interesting thing about that video – normally there’s much more natural light in that studio but recording that in late November meant that Live Lixx at Six was well after dark.
It was quite light when I recorded these following videos; in fact almost too much. First in chronological order is the Mari Hill Band, doing their version of ZZ Top’s ‘Sharp Dressed Man.’
I’m not sure how old Mari Hill is, but she has plenty of moves. It’s interesting to hear that song played as a four-piece outfit (five if you count Mari’s percussion.)
The next pair of songs are a live staple from Semiblind, who maybe skips just a beat before transitioning from Santana to Heart. Don’t mind the little bit of wind noise.
That makes for a long video, so I have time for only one more. From the same show, here’s The Saints of Chaos doing an original called ‘Temptation and Regret.’
Those boys were driving some wattage through the overburdened Post 28 pavilion’s electrical system. It was loud and it was good. Hopefully you thought the sounds were as well, even if the video was a little bleached out because of the light background.
Until next time, rock on!
