Theory Of A Deadman/Infathom Concert Video Showcase!!

Our first news post of 2018 has quickly turned into a video showcase post from the Theory of a Deadman concert at The Dreammaker's Theater at the Sault Michigan Kewadin Casino from Saturday night, and with more videos yet to come from this concert, let's get this rolling before we fall behind! As you may recall, Saturday's return of the British Columbia hard rock/post grunge quartet was a legitimate sell-out event, and there are lots of videos to share from it, including more from Christopher Paci's excellent YouTube channel, as he filmed 13 videos from the show, all but 2 from the headliners' set! Chris filmed them playing  "Lowlife", "Straight Jacket", "Hurricane", a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" (only featuring frontman Tyler Connolly), "Bitch Came Back", "Echoes", "Angel", "Hate My Life", "Rx (Medicate)", their set-closer "Bad Girlfriend", and as embedded below, an extended version of their early ballad "Santa Monica".

While I'm not a massive fan of Theory (of a Deadman), they're on point from their last shows here and sound faithful to the original albums for the most part, which fans should appreciate for their usual post-grunge sound and/or their softer, more reserved new material, and Tyler is good and engaging with the fans! Chris has a good, relatively central angle of the band, and while attendee heads can get in the way, this is far from the worst example of that. Give Chris' videos a look above and below, and stay tuned for more from his channel at post's end!



Next up, here's a video of Theory playing "Bad Girlfriend" to end their set on Saturday night! Courtesy of YouTube user Jolene Barens' new channel, this video notably features an acknowledgement pre-song from Tyler that they intend to return to Sault Ste. Marie "next year". Does that mean 2018, as the show was just prior to New Year's, or 2019? Time will tell, but given this show's success, it doesn't surprise me that they want to come back! Unfortunately filmed on a vertical angle, the lighting is overexposed from this angle, but the audio's decent, and she did catch the intro that didn't make Chris' copy of the song, so give it a look below also! (Note that this clip does not feature any footage of Infathom's opening set, despite what the title may imply.



Lastly for currently known Theory of a Deadman videos, here's one from local rock radio station Rock 101's Facebook page, as posted on Saturday night! A few of The Sault's Rock Station's on-air personalities were in attendance for this show, and one of them filmed the guys playing their current hit "Rx (Medicate)" during their encore. Another vertical cell phone camera video (this time from beside the stage), this captures this song well, and while it's not many established fans' cup of tea, at least it's original and an attempt to expand their range, which I can appreciate! Check it out below, and hopefully 101.3 FM films more footage at upcoming concerts!



We'll close today's post by featuring a pair of videos from Munising hard rock quartet Infathom's opening set on Sunday, and while there are multiple videos online of theirs from this past weekend, we'll only touch on the aforementioned Chris Paci's footage today to come full circle in this post! Chris filmed them playing their original "Live Tonight" (with bassist Keegan Nebel on lead vocals) and, as embedded below, a cover of Guns N' Roses "Civil War" with Dillion singing lead. The former is an energetic hard rocker that Keegan acclimated well to vocally, while the latter cover is a solid rendition, especially on the softer verses, though Dillion doesn't try to hit Axl's heights on the choruses. Infathom don't get out east nearly enough, so hopefully this show helped get them lots of new fans in the Soo area! Give them a look above and below, and stay tuned for more from Infathom's set soon!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for weekend concert previews on the site tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
