I haven't seen much mention of the FOB Wal-Mart Soundcheck DVD that came with the re-release of IOH. I guess the rest of you have more will power than I do :) The performance was recorded before the album came out, and there is a bit of backstage footage and a short interview with Pete and Andy. While they sound great, the guys look generally unenthused to be recording this set in a big, empty theater. I can only imagine trying to get excited for that kind of gig. Then, one look at Pete in the interview at the end if the DVD of sort of sums it all up - he looks like hell. He looks tired and is wearing crazy eye make up, probably to cover up the tired - and to get back at Wal-Mart for bleeping word out of several songs on the DVD.
There are a handful of caps under the cut, and a zip file that contains the rest of the set. I think I cut down from 2,003 caps of Patrick at the mic, to a more reasonable number somewhere around 20. Enjoy.
I will be back a bit later with some icons from these caps, but feel free to take them and do with them what you will.
You can almost taste the apathy.
I mean, contain yourself boys!
I do like the black and white clips sprinkled throughout the footage.
Patrick cap #1/2003.
He also looks great in black and white.
So that is what Joe looks like with short hair. I had almost forgotten.
Ahahhaaaa. Patrick just looks annoyed. There are several more caps of this in the zip file. They all make me laugh.
To the left, to the left. Now slide, baby, slide.
Shoes! Kind of a pointless cap, except for SHOES!
Mid-air Joe!
Pete goes for the split jump.
Andy! I didn't forget about you, I promise.
Ohhhh, Pete. Did you forget how to shave? Did you get any sleep the night before this? And good god, who told you that eye make up was OK?
It all looks a bit better from a distance :)
Boys!!
Sendspace zip file is
