All this footage was almost lost forever, many times. My friend and I shared holding the camera, he kept doing night shot, and i kept trying to zoom in and make it interesting. Comments welcome.

Very Welcome. I'm also a huge fan. This was a great show, we were right up front by the speakers and luckily the audio came out good. Pattern is awesome. Black Cat Music played a set before this.

Thanks for putting all these up! I wish I could have been fortunate enough to have seen them!

@yvonnelemke Welcome. Was certainly an awesome gig and chance to see the Pattern before they broke up. I almost lost all this footage having to move in a hurry and some crazy times in 2005, but the cofilmer of this helped me get my computer back with all the footage and happy to share with the masses.
