On the first Sunday of this month, I went to the Roxy for the Wesfest benefit show put on by the Berklee School of Music. Brendon Small was the headliner, who would be performing his solo album Galaktikon.
Current student and alumni performed through most of the show playing medleys of jazz and contemporary rock. When it was announced that the show was $3000 short of their fundraising goal, a lady in the booths stood up and waved her checkbook. Wesfest hit their goal of $25000.
Here is my recording of Brendon Small's performance. Billed as a one night only event, Small invited 10 other musicians to perform his rock opera Galaktikon from front to back. I was very pleased to hear a couple of Dethklok songs in the encore.
I recorded the show handheld with my Nokia 808 Pureview. This is the first time I turned off image stabilization to record a show. This allowed for a little more zoom. Although a little bit shaky, I like the results.
The setlist:
