"Rehearsals" is a series of music videos shot in the Snakepit in Cincinnati before the concert at the 20th Century in 2009. Full-length is a stretch as the run-time is forty-five minutes or so. Even so, there are some dodgy bits in-between some of the songs to thread it together. This video, I believe, completes the deal with Yevette as this is the full content of the "Rehearsals" DVD.
The song list:
Empire - Some friends fancied this some years back and I've played it off and on ever since
Everybody Knows - cover of Leonard Cohen's original but heavily-electrified
Necromancer - playing ridiculously fast
I Love Rats - the guitar breaks on the very last chord (it was a quick fix after)
On the Road with a Mouse and a Chicken - w/lasers on me fingers
Tidal Wave - combination machinima / Snakepit video
Note: some of the songs have not been released as individual videos
Dedicated to my sister, Aileen. The Snakepit was in her house and she was not any kind of a fan of my music but she put up with it and a lot of it happened here.
This is the first thing delivered from the iMac and that's a few hours after it first came up. The performance is most impressive and I really look forward to making some interesting stuff. Hopefully you will enjoy it.

Great stuff Alan. Thoroughly enjoyed Rehearsals. Though I've not heard the songs before, and sadly missed the show in Oakley, they brought forth a lot of good memories.
Keep it cranked up!!

So wonderful to hear from you. I remember your tastes being distinctly Weather Report-ish so it's cool that you would hear this stuff at all. I don't know if you or the Lop had the most eclectic tastes and I wish now I had absorbed more of it at the time. That's not a crying regret, it just would have been good as I imagine there could have been fascinating discussions. I also remember when we rolled a joint in a newspaper so it's mixed!
I hope everyone does well and the cold can soon be returned to the North where it belongs.
