We have a new contributor to the Sac Music Archive- Neil Werries contacted me a couple of weeks ago. He filmed a bunch of great alt.country bands in the late 90s so expect a bunch of really great stuff over the next few months. He was also in an alt.country band called Elsah and you’ll be seeing them too down the road.
The reason why I picked this one to post first is due to the scarcity of Son Volt videos from the Straightaways tour. I know of only one, with very shaky camera work and distorted audio… so this is probably the best Son Volt 97 vid surfaced to date. Sounds pretty decent for stock camcorder audio too. Thanks, Neil!
