Jeremy Enigk / Previously Unreleased Raw Footage [Return of the Frog Queen Album]

This is a very soulful live performance by Jeremy Enigk.
Jeremy was still writing and composing "Return of the Frog Queen" when he decided to do a "live" test of some of his material, at a private gathering of artists and friends.
Guessing this happened in late 1995, before Jeremy Enigk went into the studio to record "Return of the Frog Queen", his first solo album released in 1996.
Hired my "storytelling with motion pictures mentor", Richard Pratt, a fellow producer, director of photography, editor and camera operator from CBS afilliate KIRO, to come with me to cover this rare chance to shoot video of Jeremy.
We had teamed up & co-produced at least hundreds of segments for CBS, in 15 US major markets prior for Larry "At Large" Sturholm, a CBS comedy guy.
Mission was to capture Jeremy's soulful essence with one camera, in the moment.
Richard translated the magic in Jeremy's performance with one camera.
Well worth the half day rate of $500 back in 1995.
This footage has been in storage for 26 years.
Rediscovered a couple weeks back.
Basically, a bucket list item to find Jeremy, in our vault of seattle music history.
Hence, our next video project to share.
Notice bassist Nate Mendal, of Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft and Foo Fighters at the 9:43-9:46 mark viewing from up in the balcony.
Jeremy was and still is today, a very treasured friend of ours and my cousin, William Goldsmith, drummer of Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft and the Foo Fighters [first 2 years].
Jeremy Enigk is known as the father of Emo music.

[@Emberdays]

saw him on this tour, THE CROWD WAS SO LOUD, that you could barely here him! so sad, but worth the show

[@darylwyrick2857]

was so awesome getting to engineer and be deeply involved in frog queen along with greedy us three in the studio thru out. I made the mic used on Carnival on the lp or we may not have had that song Jeremy tried every mic we had and borrowed rented I swear every tube mic in Seattle and was ready to give up when I had an idea and told him to go eat and come back and I made a huge tube mic really it was just a cardboard tube 3 or 4ft long duct taped to 2 mic stands with Greedys Beyer hand-held shoved in one end in the correct spot and it worked he laid down the track whew!! I have always said it was the closest to working on an album like Sgt. Pepper I would ever engineer! A great bunch of people to work for and call friends I've been lucky to have toured for The Fire Theft as a tech for them also!

Seeing this reminds me of being a kid, and listening to this album for the first time and not truly understanding what was hearing. This album made such a profound impression on my love of music.

[@thelastjeremy]

This is fantastic! I got a huge nostalgia wave of living in Oly in '96 and driving up to Seattle several times to see Jeremy play. Flew back there 3 years ago for one day just to see him perform ROTFQ in it's entirety at Chop Suey. Just beautiful.

[@benjaminhadley78]

Fan since sunny day, this is the first I’ve seen this. I feel so embarrassed for him. All that talent completely wasted on that group of frat kids. 😂

[@ryanaball]

Nothing to be embarrassed by. This is the artist’s proper habitat

[@Aaaaaaaa-ix4rp]

I wonder what tuning he is in
