Streetlight Manifesto played at a bar right in my neighborhood last Sunday. Their performance was amazing – much better than their performance at Roseland back in January, even with some technical difficulties. Being in a small venue, placing me less than 15 feet away from the stage even while being in the back of the performance area, made for a great view of the stage. I managed to get a few great clips to share with the World Wide Internets:
I don’t even remember taking the following clip, but I’m sure glad I did. Check out Mike Brown’s (the alto sax player) eyes towards the end. They look like they’re about to pop out of his head! Those are a couple of souvenirs I’m happy a fan didn’t get to leave with.
Streetlight played the title track, Somewhere In The Between, off of their most recent album as the encore. I love how the crowd is chanting, “five more songs!” until the guys come back out. Greedy little fuckers. Actually, I wouldn’t have minded another 10!
I think this will be my last show for a little while, at least until 311 plays Central Park in June.
On a side note, if you’re in the market for a new digital point and shoot camera, be sure to check out the new Canon SD780. I picked it up a few hours before the show, replacing my Canon SD750, and it’s just awesome. It’s a great 12mp point and shoot camera with image stabilization, facial recognition, a decent lens, etc… The two features that sold me, though, are the black matte body and ability to capture 720p video at 30 frames per second. I’m sure the black matte finish reflects a lot less light than other cameras with glossy or metallic bodies, which means less of a chance that security’s going to hassle you at a show, and the video quality is good even in low light conditions.
