Sweet, i didn't know this was on Youtube. Was this home footage or from the DVD they made of it?

I see myself, I'm the guy with with large sword over his shoulder from 2:22-2:32. towards the left of the frame.

Thanks for the comments. This was shot with a Canon digital camera from up behind the radio/audio booth.

Glad you helped out!
