Celebration – Fly The Fly
Scenic
New York City, NY
9/16/05
Just last week I was talking with a couple of friends about how impressed I was that Celebration can do such a good job recreating the songs from their records so successfully live with only 4 people. Then I received a package of amazing DVDs (thanks Matt!) earlier this week with a couple of Celebration shows from late ’05/early ’06 where they are playing some of the songs from their forthcoming record at the time “The Modern Tribe.” When I saw them in late ’07 they had an extra person along with them, putting the total at four, but in this footage it’s only the three of them. I was impressed when it was 4 people playing these songs, but the fact that they can pull it off with just 3 absolutely amazes me.

I was actually standing to the right of whoever filmed this. Wilderness played right before, I remember.
It’s really a stellar recording. I saw Wilderness a while ago, wasn’t really into them though.
