Gram Parsons is one of my favorites.
 
Here's a video my wife and I shot, this past Saturday, of some of our friends and their performance art theater troupe:
 

 
Hint: If you go *big screen* you get HD quality. 
 
The sound was captured 24bit 48k, on a pocket size Tascam (by Gibson) DR-05 digital recorder mounted on one of the cameras' tripod. I'm glad I had 24bits because I set the level using the make-a-guess method and I walked away to run a camera. :-)
 
I spent a lot of time in post making the sound of the air conditioner from hell go away.
 
I really enjoyed the sound of the real life Wurly.
 
Anyways, I just thought I'd post it, warts and all, just for the heck of it because I think that, despite the numerous technical issues one can point out, the core of the performance was especially strong and emotional.
 
 
edited grammar.

Now that was weird, but in a good way! It was a great performance and it sounded pretty good. The video looked pro to me but I am not a video person. I do know that it kept me interested and didn't bore me. I liked it ,good job!

This is the kind of stuff that cult followings are made of.
I was riveted by the interaction between the two vocal protagonists (both visually and sonically), and the rhythm section and extras that were there for the supporting role.
The keyboard selection was sublime.
Yes, the sound production was "low fi", and maybe you could do a version where you dub in a studio vocal, but this in itself added something that made it kind of special.
I think the "song" section of this forum just got a little more sophisticated.

Thanks very much to both of you for taking the time to take a look and post some comments.
 
I really like helping this group of friends with their project. I'm glad to think some of my friends here may enjoy a chance to see and hear what they are doing. I'll be sure to pass along your comments.
 
all the best,

Thanks for the hot tip on the digital tascam...may borrow that one.  Pocket-sized...love it.  The audio held up extremely well, even with your having to sweeten due to the air conditioner issue.  Nice job.  You know I am watching this at a little coffee shop in our town that has a radio station and while playing this clip I noticeably got the attention of several folks hanging around using the WiFi here.  Really liked the use of the monitor within the shot.  The video is artistic, creative and the audio holds up extremely well on my Mac Book Pro here with Classics playing on the big speakers in the room.  Wow!  Pretty impressive piece...would be interested to see/hear the rest of the project. 

Hauntingly beautiful.  I enjoyed the Wurly as well.

Wow, great performance.  So bare-bones, yet so perfect as it is.
 

Mike, I'm sorry I missed this earlier, but this is super!  The quality of both the video and audio are stellar.  I love the song and the vocal performances.  Your friends have a lot of talent, and maybe we'll hear more?

I listened/watched, but I must confess, I don't get it.

Good job all around Mike.  That was a fun experience.  
Thanks.
