This is one of 12 shows I was able to record at this year's Furnace Fest. I was limited to this amount because most of the bands I wanted to record were at different stages so I had to become strategic as far as who I was able to record. The distance between three stages were significant enough to affect where I'd be shooting from so I had to choose wisely. I kept recordings to shows where I had a decent view and I think these 12 reflect that. OK, so they might not be the best, but it was the best considering the circumstances! Trust me, I'll know what's up and be prepared in time for next year's Furnace Fest!
Third time's a charm, right? Avail are a band from my home state who I've never been able to secure a decent full-length video. I recorded them when they opened for Frank Turner and it turned out like shit that I'd be too embarrassed to release it. I tried recording them during their Over the James Fest but I couldn't get a steady shot to save my life. And it took me seeing them in Alabama to finally get a good shot!
Unfortunately, the set got shortened because a stage diver wasn't caught by the audience and fell hard on the floor. They had to stop the show in order to get medics on-site to escort the kid out. Luckily he gave a thumbs-up sign stating he was OK. From there, Avail finished three more songs until concluding the night.
This was shot from the ADA section as I stood on a bench; I got the benefit of the PA mix and I didn't have any issues with my mic cable during this performance. Despite a shorter video than expected, I'm just happy I scored an Avail set to publish! I've watched this band since I was a teen and am happy to see them together again.

HAHAHAHAHA at 3:45 the stage dive he was talking about was my friend andrew. I was going to give it a solid 6, I think he was a bit hard on him seeing as how the next stage dive completely knocked a dude out and stopped the show!

Me, too. I’ve had the good fortune of watching lots of great bands in Virginia. Were you at Furnace wearing the OG Gorilla Biscuits shirt?
