Will Playmore Band 12-2-11

On Dec. 2, 2011 the Willie Playmore Band played at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY 12817. From 9p-1a, the energy was fantastic. Guitar players actually walked out onto the dance floor & played while dancing with the audience. I hadn't seen a guitar player do that since the Festival Express video of Buddy Guy using a long guitar lead to play among the crowd.

On this night they also had a keyboard player who had not been present during my 1st taping of them back on 10-21-11, as well as new LED lights that despite being used in 5 previous shows, were still being learned & experimented with. The crowd was wild this night, many women up from Troy area were especially vocal & expressive, as you can no doubt hear on several of the videos. So many people were crowding the dance floor that filming became a real challenge, twisting this way & that to avoid being run over. On this night it was truly dancing room only.

The following videos can be played full screen, 720p HD. They are only formatted smaller here to fit within the blog screen. Only a few samples are shown here, please go to the youtube channel for all of the live videos at: http://www.youtube.com/user/gmj2012/videos


WPM performed an original song called Willie Got Lost, embedded below:




Another great song is Bad Company's Can't Get Enough of Your Love:





One of my old faves by the Rolling Stones, Honky Tonk Woman, was played by request for those Troy, NY women who were extremely vociferous in their requests, lol.

I bought this to film live music performances in nightclubs. The flash on here only works with pics, NOT video! Also the sound distorts so badly I tried fixing it with cotton ball over mic, still bad. ONLY good for daylight, normal to quiet sound situations, which makes it useless to me & too late to return. Last, the photo quality is so poor my 1.8 MP cell camera does better than this supposed 5-12 MP camcorder. If I could post samples, you'd be shocked at the extremely low quality. The HD is only 30 FPS, not the 60 it should be.
