[DOCUMENTARY] Crush 40: Lost Live Media (Full Live History)

In this documentary, we're going to take a trip through Crush 40's history of performing live shows. Right from the very beginning up to the present day. In particular, focusing on the insane amount of lost footage taken of each show and some of the incredible things that have never seen the light of day to the public.

The documentary starts with a rather brief description of Crush 40's live shows, and the band themselves. And how they are and their performances are as "Sonic the Hedgehog" rockstars. This is then immediately followed by diving head-first into Crush 40's first-ever live performance: TGS 2008. TGS 2008 is an immediate first example of the problem the documentary tries to highlight, as it already has a lot of professional footage that has never been released to the public.

Throughout the documentary, you'll learn new terms you may not have known before, such as "iMAG video" and "soundboard audio". These terms are thrown around a lot in this video, and they are explained clearly and in a clean embedded way within the documentary. It is scientifically proven your brain will have expanded when you leave this video.

As the documentary progresses, it moves onto 2010, a year home to the #1 worst ever Crush 40 performance, which we take a look at. It's also home to a Summer of Sonic 2010, where we discuss the official footage and audio available for that too.

The documentary then moves onto 2011 next, a VERY important year for Crush 40, and one that was definitely necessary to go into detail on. This year was home to a show so important to Crush 40 they literally made an entire song about it, as well as being home to several other performances, such as Sonic Boom 2011 and TGS 2011.

A warning, TGS 2011 is something that begins to drive me insane in this video, due to the sheer stupidity of some people involved, watch the documentary to find just what I mean.

And that very important 2011 performance got a very in-depth analysis in this video, as it had a very large range of footage released, of all varying quality. It had two crowd recordings, a half-official crowd recording, some iMAG video from the venue, Guilty, and some extremely well-done "Team A'Thrash" footage, which is my absolute favourite footage out of everything mentioned in the video, it is both technically and artistically extremely well made, and I talk about it quite a bit and just how good it is.

After that in-depth analysis of the concert, we move onto 2012, which is also an extremely important year for Crush 40 as it's home to their official live CD album, which is something I am extremely positive about and pleased with and talk about how I feel about its overall mixing and contents.

Once I've covered the live CD album, I next focus on 2013, which is home to "Sonic Boom 2013", another show that makes me mind in a similar way to a previous show, this time to an even greater degree as the situation is even worse this time around.

Then, we move onto 2014, home to the "2 Nights 2 Remember" live album. This album and all the lost audio on it is something that hurts me a lot personally. This album means a lot to me, as I describe it, and it's disappointing to know that most of it is missing most of the show.

All of this, and much, much more is described in detail and in-depth throughout this mega video of a documentary talking about Crush 40's live history and their lost media.
