Life Of Agony Pancake House Lake Ariel Pa..

[@dmphax]

This is remarkable footage! Love this band so much. Saw them in Albany NY in the late 90s, one of the nicest bunch of people I have had the chance to meet and chill with, and phenomenal live.

[@strongburg]

Definitely agree with you

[@DrSergiRufi]

What a display of an early talent, glad to be able to go back and hear Keith singing life like the amazing way he used to do so. Thanks buddy!

[@strongburg]

No problem. Took me forever to upload but they are there now.

[@davidsthart]

holy fuck.. i can recognize half of the w.b. and steamtown kids i know.. we all look so young...thanks for sharing this awesome blast from the past!!!

[@strongburg]

david st. hart Glad you enjoyed it bro.It's definitely one of my gems in my recording days. Lots of people in this that I became great friends with in yrs to come

[@danielle3079]

I've watched this at least 10 times since coming across this, it brings back many memories...Thank you so much for sharing this! One of my favorite voices of all time :)

[@strongburg]

Hey..You're very welcome..This is def one of my highlight shows back in my recording days..I'm glad you are enjoying it.Still crazy to think this was a basement of a pancake house,haha

[@danielle3079]

I read the title about 5 times before clicking thinking "no way"! Haha. I love seeing this kind of footage being shared. I grew up in NYC and was at every show I could get to. Back in the 90's we didn't have cell phones to record every moment, so in my opinion videos like yours are priceless!!

[@strongburg]

Yea i'm originally from The Bronx but moved to Pa in my late teens..Yea if they were playing within a 3 hour car ride we were there..We probably rubbed elbows at some point..I've seen them all over New Your,Jersey Pa .Def some good times...THey are playing i think in April in my town,i'm pretty excited.

[@danielle3079]

What a small world...but I guess that happens when you have good taste in music :) I am from the Bronx too, and went to school in NYC - was so lucky to be young and able to see all those shows... and I miss Coney Island High and the Limelight! I have tickets for LOA's Irving Plaza show, trying to plan my trip home around it. I hope that you'll share some video from the show if you are able to get some!!!

[@strongburg]

Oh wow,what part of The Bronx did you live? I lived in the Norwood section..Decatur Ave to be exact.Yea the Limelight and Coney Island were awesome places.The Marquee and L'amour were pretty cool also.I miss those days.I go to some show here n there but not the same feeling.I'll try and grab some footage from their show .i know i'll take a bunch of pics..

[@Thforklift126]

Life of Agony? A hall show? During the daytime? Man, this is unbelievable! I just missed this era, came on board the following summer. These are the kinds of shows I knew I missed out on but thanks for bringing them to life!

[@strongburg]

Wow thanks a lot..It was actually in the basement of a Pancake house..It was a night,those lights made it look so bright..Yea lots of fun back them.so glad i was apart of it

Old school cam recorder..Thank you

[@Inkfidel0331]

Holy fuck!! Dude, I was just thinking about this show and thought I would say fuck it and type it into the search bar. I’m so glad I did!! This was such a killer show!! Fun fact.. my buddy’s mom Deb (who use to own this place) became my boss and landlord here almost 20yrs later 😂 Unfortunately it burnt down a few years ago. But it was so surreal going in the basement after my shift and blazing in there looking at the 5 ceiling tiles still intact going “damn dude.. we really fucked this place up” 😂 Thanks for the amazing video memory!! 🤘🏼

[@strongburg]

Glad you enjoyed bro and thanks for sharing your story. That's cool u stayed in touch but boo on it burning. Would u be able to give me an idea where in Lake Ariel it was.Few ppl have asked me.

Hey there, great footage, are you the owner?

[@strongburg]

Thanks a lot..Definitely one of my highlights of recording. I'm not the club owner if that is what you meant

[@melodykennett2676]

@@strongburg Hi there, actually I'm trying to get in touch with the owner of the footage, did you shoot it and retain rights or did you record on behalf of the club owner or band and give the rights to them? We are making a music doc so keen to make sure we have permission to use footage we've found 😀

[@strongburg]
