New Altered video from the BP

[Steve Holmes]

So I decided to try something different this time around. To kind of give a sampler of an Altered show I edited together some of the musical moments that I thought were cool. Not just the solos themselves, but where the rhythm section goes and builds underneath the solos, things like that. We've been playing together for a while, and I've got the moments that make me cringe down to a reasonable low I think . =)



Some moments from a few of the tunes that night.

It's available in 720/1080 with better audio if you want to check it out right on YT

LOVE it. You guys sound fantastic.

That's some grown-up shit right there.

Wish I knew how to pull strings and get you into Ronnies or the 606 or something over here.

Nice work Steve. I think I know what music I'm asking for, for Christmas. I love the hi-hat finesse around 2:42.

Nice work, Mr Holmes!

What cameras did you use?
How did you capture the audio?

I am hoping the Zoom Q3 HD will get close to what you have here! They start shipping soon.

A few of us from the outskirts (Orange County, Inland Empire) need to make the trek for your next Spud date.

Its was 3 HDV cams. Audio was recorded with the Edriol RH09 I think. The mix is 95% from that with one of the cams audio turned up a *hair*. I'm not really a fan of HDV because it's interlaced, but some friends did all the work with the filming so I was happy to let them =)

Awesome stuff!!! I can't wait to come check out a show.

Steve,

This is really great. That's the kind of jazz/rock/fusion stuff I love.
What you guys do is getting better and better.

Are you going to share/sell the entire performance?
Before I could live in the USA to go to this f*** good place...

It would be awesome.

Victor.

Love it! Hard groove. High energy, even on slow tempos. Swings and rocks at the same time. The epitome of fusion.

Man, what a great video. Killer playing by the whole band.
Particularly love that first groove you jump into Steve. Sounds incredible. Having a bit of a hard time catching what's going on there...would you be able to elaborate as to what you're actually playing?
Again, killer video! Hearing those Phoenixes makes me yearn for a set!
