This happened a couple weeks ago

My friends played a brief reunion show last weekend as part of the celebration for a local music mag that ended during the pandemic, their first set in 19 years. They were the first local band that I ever really got into, and definitely a big part of why/how I got involved in the DIY scene in town and ended up touring and still playing 20+ years later (I've played w/ the guitarist w/ the Tele in my last two bands).

Took this w/ my iPhone 13 Pro with the Shure MV88 stereo mic attached, and am pretty happy with how the video and audio turned out. Definitely never saw this band w/ a lightshow as extreme as this!
