Terry Reid & Cosmic American Derelicts: Live at Colony, Woodstock NY - 5/21/23

Filmed "Bootleg Style" by Evan Lauber

This is a great live concert video, bootleg style, while the band has approved posting this video, they had no idea prior to the show and either did I that i would be doing a video. While I have been hired by top artists for music videos and photography this night was me hanging out like I used to back in the 80's, not really invited to record. However the Colony is a great place and they allowed me to capture this amazing show. My original plan was to have a nice dinner with my friend Ray, and take a few photos and record a bootleg audio recording. During dinner I was so impressed that I decided to record video as well. So for the first twenty-four minutes there is a slide show before the video starts, this is when I was enjoying one of the colony's great salads. Terry Reid has an amazing history which can be seen on wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Reid

Check out Terry's wiki page or just google him! He literally was offered the lead singing role in Jimmy Page's new band which he had to decline due to opening for the Rolling Stones. Terry also suggested to Jimmy Page to check out Robert Plant and John Bonham! Terry has his own amazing career and original songs and has worked with so many well known artists and has songs in a feature film. Terrys website has more info on upcoming gigs: https://www.terryreid.com

The Cosmic American Derelicts are also an amazing band that have gigs with and without Terry. I picked up a copy of their latest CD which is real nice to listen to: "Bergenfield Blues" Check out more about the band and their upcoming gigs here: https://www.cosmicamericanderelicts.com

Colony is a very unique place to see a show. They have plenty of dinner tables, and a large bar all perfectly placed to watch the show. The salad I had was amazing, and the staff were very friendly.

love to come back and film again, and next time I hope to be invited and film it like my pro gigs, and not like I am trying to enjoy the show and sneak in a camera and recorder - bootleg style. While this video may show those human errors with one camera handheld, it sounds amazing due to using my tascam Dr-100 mkIII with external mics. So sit back and enjoy the show and please be patient as the video does start after the slide show twenty four minutes in.

I would like to thank Ray Corey for inviting me, driving, and introducing me to the band, otherwise I never would have experienced such great music and cool artists. There is also a few photos of friends of Terry's and fans so be sure to comment so I know who you all are!
