   Yes, those in-house vids are done by the venue, not the band.  What you   
   describe is failry common.  I have a copy of Camden '03 that does the same   
   thing.  I think it's a combination of the editor/director not knowing the   
   band and their songs, and limited number of cameras.  Carlock might launch   
   into a short drum solo, and by the time a camera is trained on him, it's   
   over.  Judging from the Camden vid, there may be only three cameras covering   
   twelve performers, and one of those cameras is the full-stage distant one.   
      
   If you're able to, compare the video technique of Camden '03 with Pine Knob   
   '03.  Big difference, no way they're the same crew.
