Hey the topic on gig prices got to me to wondering if anyone else had any archival videos of themselves performing "back in the day." Here is one of my band "Too Bad about Pete" in New York in the early 90s. We didn't make a lot of money but we had a lot of fun. On many occasions we got the 11 pm slot at the Bitter End in the Village doing all originals in the era of metal--because the very New York-ish club owner said "You guys sound like moo-sic. I actually like listenin' to ya." It was a really funny time. People would wander in off the street until the place was packed and really skinny guys dressed all in black with black eye shadow were always coming up to me and asking me "show me how you did that lick man." God I miss those days!!  Here is one at the club "True Blue." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPnLmS1-E9UThe vocalist Christine McCabe was my best friend's wife and boy did she have some pipes. Anybody else got some archival footage???

I like the stoic-guitar-guy thing...(though you do get a bit animated at towards the end...)

How long ago was that Dave, because you don't look a whole lot different now.
I'd be afraid to see me from back in the day, which I believe was a Thursday, because it make the old gray bearded guy feel even older. Besides, I always look mad when I play, and people ask me about it all the time. And I always tell them it's just that 75% of the time I am reading a chart and focusing so my ADD doesn't let me get lost.
Side comment: I once got a call at like 4 in the afternoon to play a wedding on a Saturday night. I went to the gig and they had been requested to do Endless Love as that annoying 20 minute thing where everybody in the room is introduced and they dance with the bride for 20 seconds. Well, they gave me this chart and asked me to sight read it. Okay fine. They handed me the stack of pages and I spread them out left to right as they came off the stack. We started playing, and the chart took me WAY into left field. Page 4 and 7 had been switched. Fortunately I knew the song (albeit in a different key) well enough to sing along in my head and know that at that point it did NOT go to the bridge.
Ah.... "the day".....

Ha ha ha!!! Eddie, they say they SAME thing to me when I am playing in church, and at one church, they gave me a HUGE lecture about how I was frowning and scowling and looked angry when I was playing. I kept saying: I AM NOT ANGRY. I AM TRYING TO CONCENTRATE. I AM TRYING TO PLAY NOTES. I HAVE TO PLAY THE HARD STUFF. PLEASE LET ME CONCENTRATE. But, no they wanted me to bob my head and smile like sunshine so after a while I just gave up. Now they have a guy who plays two chords. But he smiles a lot. Chet Atkins looked like he was frowning when HE played. Just sayin'

How appalling! Was that Joel Osteen’s church? Unfortunately, a lot of churches neither like Christianity taken seriously. Unbelievable, and the same people probably swallow a lot of camels.

DAW Monkey, Yeah it's crazy man. I want to go to church, I really do, and I love God and I keep trying but it seems my options are so limited. I wrote a song about it recently and posted it on the forum. https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/sunday-morning-blues

Anybody else got some archival footage??? I did a lot of VHS recordings in the late '90s with my former band Ruffin' Up The Suspect. I played keyboards. More of a dive bar alternative rock band. I would just park the camera in the back of the room and stereo X-Y a couple of condenser mics into a mixer to the HiFi VCR audio inputs. I converted a bunch to YouTube last year and ran them through some Ozone mastering in the process. Videos are complete with drunk guys walking around with their beer cans. Played at a bar's Halloween party in '99: Wasted TimeOur attempt at a short Blues song in '98: Waitin' For My Baby

David, there is a big difference between spirituality and religions. I truly believe you can believe in God and be a good Christian without being associated to a church.

hmm, I have old videos around here somewhere (already digitized) .. to be honest I'm pretty sure I have some from the 70's on, but school concerts would not be anything I'd want to post (even though I 'nailed' that 8th grade solo!) I'll look around and see if I can participate, silly as it may be, this could be fun. I'll try to find something from the same era. I think I have some from around then that show myself, a drummer and a singer .. and we three actually worked together on some new tracks together last week (and the week before, and the week before). Long lasting friendships are a good thing; plus we are so much better 20 years later! Found one .. It's pretty compressed and obviously recorded by the drummer's wife <grin>, but hey it's old and (maybe) fun. A couple of our 'originals'. http://www.masteringmatters.com/stuff/guru2.mpg (may take a moment to download) I'm the guy on the left originally playing guitar and talking with Barry off mic, and then my area (keyboards and me) is cut out a lot, but hey, nostalgia. Man, the camera audio was bad back then. /dangit, now I want to go find the other videos from that era, just to make sure I know where the originals (or copies) are .. //this particular video is from a benefit show, for what's it's worth /// the coolest part is I am lucky enough to still be jamming/writing with these friends from 20-40 years ago (get off my lawn) One more oldie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi6-KOLbgig again our originals ..
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Well, it was fun looking for some old videos but cant find any old stuff. Can only find stuff after I started performing again (after a twelve year break!) Here is me in about 2014 performing at TJs acoustic folk club with Nippy Cripwell and Rael Birns. Singing a John Denver song as usual! https://youtu.be/oAxvyVOTCf8And here is me performing also in about 2014 with my old band mate of 20 years ago Karen Wilmot. https://youtu.be/ne7aLIEPWtg
