Wow! The quality is excellent! Most personal vidoes are blurry and have terrible sound.
And for clarification: The long-haired guitarist is Ben; now an official member of the band after years of touring with them. And the first song you hear is Hanging by a Moment. The last song is Halfway Gone.
thanks for the nice comments... this was recorded at Apple in the cafeteria back in december, just before the holidays... it was a 'secret/surprise' concert. happened to have my new camera and wanted to test its video recording ability... i didn't know this was the first live performance of Halfway Gone...
btw, there's a replacement copy with better audio - check the response video (i'm still learning and this version has good video but sub-par audio, the replacement audio is better)
Thanks for the video! What I find odd is that no one is dancing. That's such a great song that if I'd been there, I'd been dancing and singing like those in the official Halfway Gone video.
there were folks dancing off to the sides where there was a bit more room... its hard to see because of the lighting, but it was -packed- & everyone had food & drink in their hands, along with many iPhones, so there wasn't a lot of room in the middle. also, we didn't know who the band was going to be (secret guests) so not everyone knew who they were & were just digging on the tunes. also this happened on a weekday afternoon at a place of business, so folks were less likely to let loose...
yup... just handheld... when the image stabilization kicks in you can see the image seem to jump/lock into place... not my first 'rodeo' as the kids say... been shooting still, film and video for a loooong time, so i've got a bit of practice in holding things steady (relatively speaking) but, yah, i was pleased... just pay attention to where the stereo mic's are... they make a perfect place to rest your left hand index finger! (grrrrrr) - but VERY NICE consumer 720p vid for about $260US
awesome quality and in stereo too (might consider the T27 as my next camera :))! and sometimes it's better to cover the mic during gigs as it'll dampen the distortion.. but in a small, intimate gig like this it probably would've been okay to leave it uncovered as the set is very acoustic-esque
thanks so much for sharing.. if you have anymore of lifehouse that'll be great!
Does it save as a mp4 file? I'm on a mac and I use iMovie.
Thank you :)

And I have to say, Halfway Gone sounded much better at this performance than it did on Conan.

Where was this recorded, out of curiosity?

Great video! Was the camera hand-held? It was so steady when you zoomed in. I just got a ZS3 but haven't tried any video with it yet.
