Salem Hill DVD

[Rick and Roll]

is out. It is simply amazing. Recorded in Oct 2005 in a church in Gallatin Tennessee. I probably did a thread on it at the time (I do one on everything it seems (8-D ). They did a full show Friday and SAturday night and an acoustic show Saturday afternoon.

Part of an unforgettable 5-day trip, driving 700 miles solo to the show, meeting Nadina, spending a weekend with my best friend Jeff and making new ones, then going Lexington KY to visit a college friend, and finishing with a visit to Moses outside Pittsburgh.

Anyway, here's a few pics that Jeff took (of a hundred or so)...including the set list (which is the DVD, along with an interview and 4 acoustic numbers).

I may be biased, but this will always be my favorite DVD. It is a must purchase. You can get it from the band or from Progrock records.

I've got the DVD and saw your profile among the few guests. But the production is not in my taste with quick pix changes, loads of out of focus bits on purpose - not my way of watching music and the overall pix quality technically is below par in my view. But the sound quality is great and the songs are great. I wouldn't call it a must get - I've got better DVD's than this.

You have a better eye than me...I thought I may have seen me but wasn't sure. Definitely a home-grown DVD. 40 people in a church....the latest on round two is to have it a bigger place in October. Looks like the set list will come from suggestions from people, but Carl wants to do a theme, so Catatonia might be the focus. Was supposed to Robbery, but Ragsdale may not be available.

Production wise, for example the Nearfest 2005 DVD is light years ahead of it. Most other DVD's are. But as you said, it captures a band with an incredible live set.
