Sticks let me tag along to a performance he did yesterday. This is Cerulean Sky, one of the more progressive and interesting pieces I’ve heard him play. I recorded the audio and video on my Canon camera and then transcoded it for the iPod touch before uploading it to Blip.tv. For a camera that’s mostly featured around still photos, I’m really happy with the audio quality. It’s certainly not comparable to running audio recordings through a mixer and recording directly to disk, but for a live performance in an auditorium, it is quite nice. Yes, the white balance isn’t quite the best, but it was, after all, live. Click through if you want to watch any of the other pieces they performed, or wait..because I’ll probably post them.
