Imagine my surprise at the Shoes' gig on Saturday night, when I discovered that the camera I had borrowed for the occasion would also take movie clips! Only when I found that it didn't switch off properly, after taking what I thought was a still picture, did I figure out what was going on ... and started trying to use it as intended.
The results are dodgy to say the least. But Palers who have seen Gary, Matthew and co only in their Procol incarnation may find it worth clicking on the links below … what ensues could be mildly surprising …
All of these clips are at the wrong angle and go haywire at the end |

I thought I was taking a still picture of Geoff, so this mpg traces the camera's descent back to waist level. | |

There were all sorts in that percussion box. Can't say I could really hear this contribution! You can see I was then going for another still of Frank and the camera records me panning across | ||

These few clips are more-or-less how they ought to be |

Incidentally I don't feel entirely happy referring (above) to "The Shoes' Gig", since the word "Shoes" in the band's name is governed by "No" … in other words, there are no shoes, not some shoes … therefore the abbreviated form should be "The No-Shoes' Gig" or "The Un-Shoes' Gig" or something of that sort. Are you there, Wilfried? Help me out …
More from the same No-Shoes' gig
