Shadow Gallery Live at Barley Creek 9/5/10 - "Digital Ghost," "Strong," Partial drum solo

Even more footage from Shadow Gallery's legendary first show. They did an instrumental teaser of "Digital Ghost" and showed off a bit of Brian Ashland's guitar chops as a segue into "Strong." Unfortunately my memory card maxed out halfway through the drum solo, but at least I came out with 11 more minutes worth of musical greatness. And yes, that is the insanely multi-talented Gary Wehrkamp on the drums during the instrumental portion!

You folks in Europe are in for a treat in October - if these guys are playing anywhere near you, don't hesitiate - RUN to buy those tickets!

Watching this over again, I have to wonder if it was intentional that they didn't finish "Digital Ghost" or if they had actually intended to. Poor Brendt's guitar was obviously trying to make this an "unplugged" performance and Brian's solo almost seems to be improvised to allow Brendt to change guitars...

@EPM5000 Thanks again for sharing this material! I've spoken to Gary and pointed him to the videos you uploaded. After having seen them he said it wasn't the greatest performance by the band and he explained they experienced technical issues (Brendt and Carl were mostly affected by it) especially after the first 3 songs.

@kerrylives Thanks for all the info and to the band for a fantastic show despite a few minor problems. I guess that's what warm-up shows are all about. It was well worth our drive from Cleveland to see this and to meet the guys in person! Very excited to see that a DVD/BD is in the works. I'll be all over that when it's released!

when Brian is playing a solo, he looks (and acts?) a little bit like Yngwie Malmsteen :)

I was wondering how or if Shadow Gallery would handle Strong live. Venom should have been easy to completely duplicate in this one case, since Suspyre was right there opening for SG...though anywhere else it would be difficult to perform the song live, particularly with the high screams.

Though some reviewers of Digital Ghosts mistake all the guest vocals for Brian's and think he has over 4 octaves of range...unless that IS Brian screaming?

@EPM5000 ...(continued)... Also, the band plans on releasing a live DVD / BD after the European tour. They hired a company that will follow them around on their journey and at least 1 show (the last one in Belgium) will get documented by 8 HD cams.

@EPM5000 ...(continued)... As for the unfinished Digital Ghost and Brian's guitar solo; I've seen the setlist that was printed out before the show and it states: "Digital Ghost intro" followed by "Brian's solo piece". Now, whether that solo was meant to be on keyboard or guitar we'll never know...
