YouTube: Dragonfly

[chrisob]

Hey folks, I meant to post this a long time ago but I've been on the road since August and I forgot. This is a video of the song Dragonfly on the day it was written.

I was opening for Ellis in TX when he decided he wanted to buy a video camera on our way up to OKC. This is one of the first videos we filmed on his little flip camera thing. We were playing the Don Con benefit show at the Blue Door. I noticed that after my set neither Ellis nor Sam Baker was to be found. I found them in a corner of the green room writing a new song. As it turns out it was Dragonfly. I watched as they finished it, then we all learned our parts and performed it during Ellis' set at the end of the night. To my knowledge we didn't get video of the stage performance so we decided to sit around after the show and perform it after most everyone had gone. I had my computer handy so we dumped the video on my hard drive and I later posted it on Youtube.

We had had a few drinks (perhaps me more than anyone) but it came out pretty great. I would guess this is a video of the second time the song had ever been played in it's entirety. Pretty cool.

Here's the link:

I hope you enjoy it!

Chris,

Our YouTube king, Paddyinthepub, actually posted the link to the YouTube video here pretty much as soon as you posted it to YouTube. (We are EP Devotees, you know.) So we've been viewing it - repeatedly no doubt - for quite a few months. But please feed our habit with others if you can.
