This video is a tribute to all the wonderful people we met on tour in Mexico City in October. I wrote this song for the end of the performance (Getting Spiritual With Mr. Vader) which we showed in Mexico. It was originally performed in Bergen by a band that I put together for the project, but as the Mexico tour was quite expensive, we entered a collaboration with The Crystal Ship Band who performed the song in Mexico City.
Once I was back home, I decided to make this version with me playing everything - so that's what it is!
All video is from the tour in Mexico City with The Crystal Ship Band.
Mr. Vader was played by Sigurd Aae Klausen (standing in for Bruce Kilmer, with whom I developed the original character). Tech crew: Brynjar Vik (sound and video + camera for much of this video!), Silje Grimstad.
This film is also a tribute to the very warm and enthusiastic audience in Mexico, particularly my new Facebook friends: Vaalee, Karla, Xime, Edson, Daniela, Edgar, Sharon and Pau (U R AWESOME!)
