Trial (Burning Fight, Phase 1) from hate5six productions on Vimeo.
This is my favorite band Trial from Seattle doing a reunion show in Chicago this weekend which I happened to be at. Despite a couple fuckups, mostly on the drummer's part, it was fucking amazing. Look closely to see me in the video! This was one of the most awesome experience of my life thus far.
Looking at this from a digital media standpoint, I think about seeing a video as well filmed as this could potentially dull down some of the excitement of actually getting to see them live, or it could just get one more excited to maybe one day get to experience something like this, depending on how one looks at and digests the digital world. It is amazing how vivid and clear videos of things such as a concert can become, capturing all the lighting and color that existed there. I remember watching a Led Zeppelin DVD once and at times the only colors that could be made out were red, blue and white from the lighting and the film technology from that time.
Although this video is indeed very inspiring and exciting, one cannot take in the full essence of being at this show simply from watching it. There was so much energy and emotion that filled the venue, it is almost indescribable. I will admit that I shed a tear once or twice from the immense passion and meaning that is in Trial's music, and finally getting to see them after listening to them for more than 4 years, the most important 4 years of my life. This band has inspired and influenced me and how I live my life on so many different levels, and seeing them along with the majority of my other favorite bands was a life-changing experience.
