While looking for some video footage a week or so ago, I came across this video again. It is a video I filmed of my old band "Gear" practising in St Francis Church Hall, Blackburn in 1999. Sadly, the camera I used did not cope well with the volume so once we start playing it becomes a distorted mush.
I could tell it was our version of "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf though, & as I had an audio recording of us playing that song a couple of years earlier in the cellar of the Grand Junction Pub in Preston, I wondered if I could marry the audio from that, to the video from 1999.
Barring a couple of extra bars on the video during the middle bit, & at the end they fitted together remarkably well :)
I have added a slight touch of reverb to the audio as the pub cellar with a very low ceiling didn't have any reverb, whereas the church hall had bucket loads, making the finished video did look a bit odd.
It was great fun, but on the video footage I do sense that maybe the other guys in the band were a little annoyed at how long I had taken to set up that night, or that maybe I had drunk a little too much...
I am singing & playing guitar on the video. On the audio there is a second rhythm guitar played by Gary Butcher, who had left the band by the time the video was filmed. Carl Whalley was on Bass, & Mick Woods was on Drums for both audio & video version.
We must have been pretty consistent with our timing, as apart from removing the footage of the extra few of bars, these two versions, recorded years apart fit together pretty well :)
For those who have viewed my other videos filmed at St Francis Church hall, this one will give you a better idea of the size of the place.
Not a bad little (big) practice room :)
Hope you enjoy the video anyway.
Cheers!
