I ignored the zero degree temperatures and hit the streets to catch some Jimkata and BioDiesel action at the Red Square downtown. The night was an all around total win. The Jimkata show was fantastic. Check the Jam out of Devils into Release for my personal highlight. The Depeche Mode cover fit right into Jimkata’s sound too. Real nice. Got to hang a bit here and there with Rich while he was working. Finally crossed paths with Phanart Pete and that was real cool. And it’s always great to see Packy, Russ, Evan, Aaron and Dave. Good dudes. Thanks again for the music!! For those of you that missed it (and BOOOOOO to you), today is a lucky day for you. So without saying anything more about it, take some time and listen/watch it. I won’t be able to take you completely there, but this should give you a small idea. I’ll post the embedded playlist below and you can click thru it or listen to whatever you want at your leisure when you are ready. Thanks again!

Here’s footage from the BioDiesel show that followed Jimkata. Another top to bottom all around good good time. I left the tripod be for much of this, so it’s just three long clips of 35, 35, and 22 minutes!
Recorded 1 step to the left of the soundboard, didn’t tape the entire show but definitely got a good chunk of it. I should have showed up a lot earlier.. The Will Call scene at 9pm was the most absolute craziest thing/line/madness ever. Stuck. Oh well quickly forgot about it 10 minutes after it was over. It was awesome to see Phil and Greg again and I am super stoked to see their new setup!! It’s awesome. ‘Fully Rigged. PL WAS PRETTY AMAZING! and the Armory was packed. Not as many people up in the rafters as I saw for moe (last halloween).. but that’s cause everyone was jammed up in the middle of the floor cause that was the place to be!! KEEP YOUR HANDS UP ALBANY!
Thank you Pretty Lights for an awesome evening! here’s an embedded playlist of all the videos I recorded, they will play in order or you can skip thru.

Devils In The Details
Sunday, 06/20/2010 Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, NY
Set 1: Brother[1], AC/DC Bag -) Back on the Train, Undermind, Cities, Gotta Jibboo[2], Roggae, Sleep Again, Lawn Boy, Run Like an Antelope
Set 2: Carini -) The Mango Song, Wilson[3] -) Drowned -) Swept Away -) Steep, Makisupa Policeman[4], Piper[5] -) Also Sprach Zarathustra -) You Enjoy Myself
Encore: Frankenstein[6]
[1] Band members’ children in a tub on stage. Happy Father’s Day!
[2] Tony Markellis on bass and Mike on a second guitar.
[3] Dixie tease from Trey.
[4] Solos by Mike, then Fish, then Page.
[5] Intro contained phrases from the previous Makisupa.
[6] Page on keytar.
Notes: In what is becoming a Father’s Day tradition (see 6/21/09), the show-opening Brother featured the band members’ children jumping into a bathtub on stage, followed by Trey introducing each of them and wishing everyone a Happy Father’s Day. Gotta Jibboo featured Tony Markellis on bass and Mike on a second guitar. The end of Wilson contained a Dixie tease from Trey. In place of a traditional Makisupa keyword, Trey improvised lines that set up solos for Mike, then Fish, then Page. The subsequent Piper intro included repeated phrases from the Makisupa (“Mike,” “Policeman” “SPAC” and “House” among others).
My Sleep Again file is corrupt for whatever reason, so unless I am able to fix it.. it’s the only song I’ll be missing once I am finished uploading….

I recorded 85% of the Jimkata show the other night and here are my vids. The only song I didn’t get was ‘Devil in the Details’… Otherwise, enjoy my mostly decent vids with my sometimes not so steady hand. No tripod was used in the recording of said videos…
Here’s a playlist that will play all the videos in order…
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream for God as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh, no, they say he’s got to go
Go, go, MATSUI
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, MATSUI
MATSUI
Rinji news o moshiagemasu
Rinji news o moshiagemasu
MATSUI ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai
Oh, no, they say he’s got to go
Go, go, MATSUI
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, MATSUI
MATSUI
History shows again and again

CONGRATS to the NEW YORK YANKEES for winning their 27th World Series Championship and to Hideki Matsui for winning the MVP.
Awesome show. Nothing Spacey Jammed out or anything.. Mike at the end of YEM great shit. Disease was considerably shorter and tighter. Bathtub Gin and Bowie were the mothers milk as well. good shit there. the new songs were good. TTE is a little long and i heard it off myspace/bso show… so knew what to semi expect there.. iiwii.. anyway, Tweezer into Light was Awesome. 3 song encore was nice, even though im semi-over hearing GTBT, feel like it follows me… My buddy back home plays Curtis Lowe on acoustic so was pumped to hear that, and sent him a txt.. It was all about the Second Set to me.. first set was good.. but the whole thing felt like an afternoon show separate from an evening/night show.. Loved the spot in Sample in the Jar when it was realized completely that the rain/clouds were leaving (it downpour’d right before the Anthem/Play Ball and many people missed it entirely–it was still raining when they sung that actually)… so after that, and during Sample especially.. the sky opened up and it was on from then on out… Our seats were fantastic.. at a baseball game it would have been 7 rows from the bottom, closer to pesky pole than first base.. fishman/mike side.. but basically dead on.. i have a few decent pics that im working on getting up… awesome awesome show..

A whole lot of truckers in downtown Albany, NY right now blaring their horns in opposition to the gas prices. I don’t think a lot of people are getting much work done right now.
