Here's my latest offering, the second night at Nassau Coliseum.
For anyone growing weary of multiple videos, here are some comparisons with the previous ones. Chicago 9/20 (straight on view) is still the best. Chicago 9/21 was shot from the side and closer, but with obstructions during the second set. This one, Nassau 10/13, was shot across from the stage but is a bit off center, thus at times people are hidden behind bricks. On wide full-view Wall sequences (e.g. The Trial), the Wall is angled up to ten degrees. Whereas Chicago 9/20 is perhaps 75 percent zoomed out and 25 percent closeups, this Nassau show is more like 50/50, so you'll get better looks at soloists. Whereas Chicago is completely unobstructed, Nassau has a few (less than ten) brief interruptions from people walking past. Also, there are two "freezeovers" of less than thirty seconds each, one in Hey You (while nothing is happening) and the other in Outside The Wall. Despite these minor issues, it is still very enjoyable to watch from start to finish. It'll be nice to have in addition to Chicago 9/20 due to the more frequent closeups. Plus, the audio is wkl_taper's fantastic capture of the evening.
I did shoot the first night of Nassau (10/12); unfortunately it's not good enough for release. When you do a multi cam, it's easy to edit out boo-boos and shaky parts. Not so with a single cam. It's all there baby. There's no place to hide.
One final note: Due to various parties (at last count eight) trying to sell my videos, I am keeping my watermarks on the bottom right hand corner at the beginning of each song. The font is smaller and duration is faster than before, but they're still there, so if you have a problem with that don't download.
