The Flying Gimps at Pow Wow 1993

Thursday, February 23, 2006 By Chris Hammond (Updated 3/29/2013)

My sophomore year of high school at Maconaquah High School I got to perform in a band. We were called The Flying Gimps, and we performed a whole two times that year. Maconaquah had a talent show every year called Pow Wow.

Derrick Smallwood, one of the other members of the band got me a copy of Pow Wow 1993, and I've gone ahead and ripped the video to a WMV file. I've got two files, linked below. The first one is the original footage of The Flying Gimps performing Helmet's Unsung, the audio on this is horrible, but it's the original recording, I'm going to have to say the lack of quality is due to the positioning of the camera in front of the bass player's amp/speakers.

The second video is what we should have sounded like! I've dubbed in the song from Helmet over the video.

UPDATE: The original video is also on YouTube, though it seems to have some playback issues
