DESCRIPTION:
This video was a particularly nice find for myself. For one
thing it's in my hometown of Philadelphia, and as far as this show,
it's Helios first time ever playing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as
he announces at the beginning! Quite a treat to find this one and add
it to the archives. As far as the quality of the video itself, it's not
bad at all for having been shot over 2 decades ago! The drummer has a
light shining down upon him for the whole set, as far as Helios, the
light sort of floats in and out onto him throughout the entire show.
Sound is quite decent for an audience shot recording, especially if
blared through a stereo receiver and a decent set of speakers. Nice
setlist here for Helios' first time playing in Philly, and nice 5 song
encore with that early long experimental version of "Voodoo Chile" as
Helios covers one of his main musical inspirations Jimi Hendrix to
close the set. A few clips below, the first one is a funny little
exhange with Helios and the audience, and it includes Helios announcing
that it's his first time playing in Philadelphia.
