Elsah/ Poor Harvey- Baton Rouge? LA xfer from 8mm master Alt Country Americana Mid 2000’s

Collections post time- this is one of the last if not THE last one from Neil Werries’ collection EXCEPT for the multicamera videos that I have been begging people to help me with, haha. Maybe one day.

This is his band Elsah doing a full band set at an unknown venue. The tape just said “Elsah/Poor Harvey LA” and I thought that Poor Harvey might be a venue. No, they were a Baton Rouge based band in the mid 2000’s, right when Elsah was active. If anyone has more info (like Neil maybe), please let me know.

Poor Harvey- Spanish Moon, Baton Rouge La early to mid-2000s xfer f/ hi8 master

This is the 2nd to last one from Neil Werries collection, unless I can get some help with time alignment on his multi camera sources- great bands like Old 97s, Jayhawks and more! Reach out if you can help- volunteering at the nonprofit gives you a tax donation receipt worth about $40/hr.

Alright, on to this one. Poor Harvey were peers of Neil’s band Elsah. It doesn’t look like they have anything listed on Discogs, but there is a soundcloud site that appears to be them. Poor Harvey is comprised of drummer Dan “Danimal” Thompson and brothers Patrick Johnson (bass and vocals) and Paul Johnson (guitar and vocals).

This show was super dark (as was the Elsah opening set, and then someone turned the lights on. So you will see this switch early in the set- I had to push the brightness and exposure early on, then pull back.
