More Offspring Concert Videos, Plus A Recent Live Clip!!

Tonight, let's finally look at the rest of the publically posted videos from last month's Offspring-headlined concert at GFL Memorial Gardens, plus a bonus live video from last week! I had held off on covering the rest of the Offspring videos as I was waiting to see if any more footage popped up, but we've waited more than long enough now. All of these are of the headlining California punk legends, as only one public channel filmed either of the openers, which we covered already on here. We'll start with local concert promoters Live705's video for their Facebook page (they got some photos too), where they filmed The Offspring's first four songs, namely "Americana", "All I Want", "Come Out & Play", and their new track "It Won't Get Better". Nice and close angle, the footage looks and sounds good, and they make use of the camera zoom when needed, so fans will want to check this one out below!



Next up, let's head to YouTube, where Wawa-based author Duane Roy (of "Castle Stories" & "Soo Stories" fame) uploaded three videos from The Offspring's set onto his channel, in his first local concert uploads since The Tea Party's show here in February. Two of Duane's videos are fairly short, namely of the songs "Gone Away" & "Why Don't You Get A Job", but embedded below is their local rendition of "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)", as preceded by guitarist Noodles praising Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario for it's sexiness. Filmed from the seats to the stage's right, the stage is well lit and the audio mostly holds up, so give these a look above & below!



Lastly for Offspring videos that I know of, here is a 20 second clip uploaded by YouTube user Gary Robertson during their performance of "Bad Habit". Aside from the very beginning and end, this focuses on a young attendee (perhaps a relative?) air-drumming to the song, and he definitely has energy! The music sounds good while it lasts, so give this a look if you want below!



Finally for today, let's head north to Sault Ontario for a video from local funk/metal band The Strange Coyotes reunion gig at Dryer Fire's pop-up venue on Bruce Street on Thursday! Filmed by the promotional agency's Facebook page, this minute-long video answers a few questions about how the band would look in 2019. Specifically, they played an acoustic two-man set with Chase on vocals & guitar, James on the hand drum rather than bass (nice gloves!), and no replacement drummer in sight. Effective and intense performance while it lasts, so give it a look below, and time will tell if this proves to be more than a one-off gig!
 

That's all for today, but stay tuned for weekend concert previews and more updates soon! Thanks everyone!
