Zen Identity; The Cove - Superior, WI; 1991
This is a re-post from the Perfect Duluth Day blog, Zen Identity - Superior, WI 1991 - Song #2, By Dan E. on Apr 10, 2009.
Zen Identity @ The Cove, Superior, WI. Spring of 1991. A few notes on this… ZI was opening for a band called “HEAT”…which was actually Quiet Riot. This was a multi-camera shoot (3 to be exact) all recording simultanisly to their respective VTR’s. This clip is taken from the Camera 2 position, which is center stage. The other angles are far left (Cam 1) and far right (Cam 3). The sound is a direct feed from the soundboard. ZI’s total set ran about an hour. This is the second song into the set…the first song had some audio issues for about a minute…I will try and repair that at later date. I plan on posting these in the original set order. I would ask Mr.Sparhawk to please comment on the title of each song as they are posted. Also Alan, if you could provide me with the band member’s names and the instrument they played, that would be most appreciated. At some point, I will edit all three cameras together so as to have a complete record of Zen Identity’s show of that night…but then again, I’ve been saying that for 18 years now. Enjoy!

Video of Low at the Knitting Factory in 1996
"Back in 1996, I was working as a producer, director, cameraman and lighting designer for Knit Media, creating live online content for the web. When one of my favorite bands Low booked an appearance, I jumped at the chance to produce and direct a live multicamera video of their performance."

The sunny morning dark and foreboding…
"It’s about being so loud and so relatively ferocious that nothing hurts anymore."
I don't quite understand what a "Daytrotter session" is, but it recently featured some free songs by Retribution Gospel Choir and a strange and somewhat insightful essay on Alan Sparhawk. Cheers.

Los Besos - The Brewhouse
There was tiredness for myself and myself this evening so I set out the recorder to capture the set while we were having dinner. My apologies for the jackasses at the next table getting drunk and ruining a perfectly good show.
