Show #8 | Saturday August 30 1997, Batcave @ Downtime, New York City, NY
Sam writes: The first live video I've posted with Oscar on vocals! It's a brilliantly dramatic performance.

Please share!

Most of the video of this concert is so dark it's unusable. "Pandora's Box" was pretty well lit, though the audience member who shot this on VHS was pretty far away, leading to a very shakycam when they were zoomed in on us. I boosted the brightness, which brought out the video grain; but this is a rare historical document so I'm ok with that. Here and there I overlaid bits of footage from another song to give you something to watch when the camera went wild.

Over Xmas break, I plan to edit the audio from this show for a streaming digital release.
