WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS.....

CAMP FREDDY: Ziggy Stardust - 944@The Palms

Please note that this is a large file size. A high speed connection is preferred.










....... ends up here!! I haven't had a chance to look at all the video and stills, but the movie is of the David Bowie song, Ziggy Stardust, with Dave Kushner from Velvet Revolver on guest guitar. Let me tell you, we had a LOT of fun yesterday!! Absolutely crazy temperatures on stage (add about 30 degrees with the stage lights on top of an already sweltering Las Vegas heat!!) and a few bucks worth of fireworks were added to the mix and Camp Freddy had a blast. We played a 45 minute set, with special guests Brandon Boyd, Slash, Abby Gennet (from Slunt), Cisco Adler, Benji Madden (Good Charlotte) and Steve Issacs and Stephen Perkins from The Panic Channel. Those guys had a hell of a day, as they did an acoustic radio set, then performed a full TPC set, and THEN did the Camp Freddy set!! But everyone had an awesome time. Big thanks to The Palms, Area 108 and 944 Magazine for putting on a hell of a party. After the show, we were treated to some real Palms hospitality in both Ghostbar and Rain (the two clubs in the casino).

Looking ahead, Camp Freddy are in the studio later this week and starting to work on the August 5th HOB show, Circus Diablo begin rehearsing for some shows in August, and I am lucky enough to be a part of both. I have to get some sleep, but I wanted to share the movie with you lot, and also wanted to put up a few stills that photographer Robert Knight took from yesterdays show. Robert has shot everyone from Led Zepp and Hendrix onwards ..... and he kindly let me put up some of his work here. Thanks mate. See ya everyone.

Sadly, I wasn't able to capture Billy at all... you're too fast and I was on the opposite side!

Thank you for putting together such an amazing show... that was definitely my favorite Camp Freddy set by far and totally worth the drive & heat!

Actually, I must confess, my favorite Billy pic was from gettyimages, ylais posted it on Camp Freddy thread at Panic Community...of Billy on a bed holding what looks to be an instrument of sexual torture or pleasure, depending how you look at it..anyway, it BEGS for captioning...Billy, how about posting it tomorrow.
love

thanks for posting the video. to those of us that cannot make west coast, it's a panacea for the pain of it.

question - how many people are involved in just coordinating 1 band playing a gig like that? your manager, their manager, etc etc???

Posted by: mary at July 3, 2006 07:49 PM

Billy,

In the spirit of the 4th of July, can you give us an update on your American citizenship quest?

Thank you,
Jay
