When we started up the sac music archive, everything from our youtube channels were supposed to be on here… but I keep finding stuff that didn’t make it. Here come 3 videos from the time I travelled to Orion Fest in 2012.
Here is Ghost back when they were relatively unknown, performing in the daytime as the first band of day 2 of Orion fest. Sorry for the shakiness- cameras were not explicitly allowed at Orion so I had no monopod. Filmed with Canon HF200 with stock microphone.
Orion fest 2012 was so great. Not only did Metallica play “Ride the Lightning” in its entirety, but they had an awesome, diverse set of acts throughout the weekend. The other bands I wanted to see the most were Titus Andronicus, Volbeat, and Roky Erickson. Roky played early in the first day, so I just whipped out the video camera and filmed while waiting for security to do something… nope. They did nothing. So I filmed a bunch of the bands that weekend. I know Kiloh Smith is a big Roky fan, so hopefully he will enjoy this. Heather Copeland too, for the Okkervil River. It was a fascinating watch- Roky would turn to Will Sheff from OR and Will would mouth the words to the line/verse of ROKY’s SONG etc and Roky would start in.

Sorry for the shaky camera work at the start. I was at another stage when I heard Gaslight Anthem being announced, so I ran over to the main stage to catch them. Sorry for the pixelation in places- this was before I was using Vegas Pro.. and it shows. Recorded with a Canon HFM30

Orion was such a great festival. I got to see Roky Erickson, Volbeat, Ghost (in the daytime!) along with Metallica playing RTL and Black album in their entirety. The surprise of the weekend for me was this set. Suicidal played the smallest stage and there had to be 10,000 people there. It just went back for miles. I was pretty close, so I was getting smacked around a bit. Also, my arm was super tired so I did not film the entire set. Robert Trujillo makes a surprise appearance and plays on ST and Infectious Grooves songs. For Paul Piazza and Kim Cook (because she was there, but missed this set!)
