Zeitgeist 2016 by Glass & Friends

This was a concert we put together for Zeitgeist Media LLC (Adele Schmidt & José Zegarra Holder). In 2016, after the decision was made to include Glass in their Romantic Warriors III Canterbury Tales DVD, it was noted that there really wasn't any good recent live performance footage of Glass. Adele and José offered to do a professional 3-camera shoot of Glass, if we happened to have any upcoming concerts... so of course we quickly arranged one!

Held in Boulder, Colorado, where keyboardist Greg Sherman lives－since he had the most equipment to haul－we took over a lovely facility called The Dairy Arts Center.

Two of our songs ("Hughtopia" and "Aqua Long"), over twenty-six minutes total made it onto the bonus DVD for RW3 called "Got Canterbury?," plus interviews with both Jerry and me. Here for your entertainment is the rest of our performance, the complete Glass concert recorded February 14, 2016.

Incidentally we invited our friends & fellow Colorado natives Thinking Plague and Hamster Theatre to perform on the bill as well. Dave Willey, Jon Stubbs and Mark Harris of Thinking Hamster / Plague Theatre even joined Glass onstage for selected songs, as noted.

Despite a few missed cues by the Center's sound man, we think this is one of the best-sounding live recordings you're likely to hear.
