Geoff Smith Performs Bohemian Rhapsody Live
April 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The Geoff Smith put on a live concert from Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell’s house in December 2009. I was there, and I captured this live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody.
The video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 15mm fisheye lens. I was sitting directly in front of Geoff, with the camera less than 3 feet from his head. Audio is straight off the camera, so it’s merely “acceptable”.

Train’s Pat Monahan Sings ‘Calling All Angels’ at Private Party
December 5, 2007 By 6 Comments
I happen to have been invited to attend a very special Cisco Systems awards banquet during which Pat Monahan (lead singer of the Grammy winning band Train) did a private concert for the roughly 400 people in attendance. Seeing how I was sitting 10 feet from Pat and I happened to have my little camera with me I filmed a couple of songs (hope you don’t mind my sharing this one Pat!).
Now, before you get to watch the video I have to share the funny story behind the video. Seal was originally scheduled to perform at this event, but one day before he called in sick. It just so happens that Pat was on his honeymoon one island over on Maui, and somehow the event organizers managed to talk him into taking a break from his new wife to entertain this group. Clearly the only reason for someone to do this would be because he’s just a nice guy and willing to help out in a crisis. Thanks Pat!

Gil Scott Heron for UK Black History Month

October is Black History Month in the UK (it’s February in the US), and one very unique individual is Gil Scott Heron, an American poet and musician known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word performer.
Mr. Heron recites a poem in which he uses sarcasm and wit to make the point that the white people who “discovered” Africa weren’t exactly discovering anything, and certainly weren’t good for the indigenous people.
