Garbage: Live at Eagles Ballroom 2002 is a long-form live video DVD by rock band Garbage from the North American leg of their beautifulgarbage tour. [1] Recorded on May 11, 2002 at Eagle's Ballroom on the band's featured stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it was planned to be released on DVD in late 2002. Unfortunately, due to record company problems and legal wranglings, the band have been unable to release the concert.

The DVD release has been listed on the band's official site discography since April 2005 (note that on the official site the recording date is incorrect) suggesting that the DVD may still appear in the future, along with a promised B-sides compilation and a Greatest Hits collection. [1]

On January 3, 2007, show taper Ken LaBarre posted the performance of "Special" on YouTube from the show. He stated on the video's description "My approach to [filming Garbage live] was a low impact high quality digital production. No cranes, jibs, trucks, etc...just a down and dirty documentary for the fans. Don't expect a high-budget plush-looking show like someone like Sophie Muller would have done for them. This is guerilla work at its best".[2]

[edit] Production

Producer Bruce A. Johnson told DV.com "We put together a video production proposal on the chance the band would be interested in documenting their show because Garbage had never released a live video in its 10-year existence. If nothing else, Garbage could file away the footage to use in the future, as many bands do. And unlike footage from countless TV appearances, the material would actually be owned and controlled by the band. Because we had successfully produced DV productions in the past, [LaBarre] pitched the band and its management on the low-input, high-impact model of shooting the show on DV".

"For the Garbage show, we wanted more coverage than we had previously used, so we lined up six XL1s and two Eluras for the job. The band's engineer got us a special audio mix with crowd noise from the board. We fed it to a Sony DSR-20 DVCAM VTR that recorded the Frame Movie Mode-video from one of the XL1s via S-Video.All of the other cameras were run wild without any timecode reference. Two XL1s were set on tripods in the balcony, one head-on and the other about 60 degrees toward stage right. LaBarre ran one of two more XL1s in the pit in front of the stage, and I ran a handheld XL1 on stage left. All eight cameras were set to Frame Movie Mode"

"One big disadvantage we faced was that we had little idea of what to expect from the band, other than a quick look at the set list. Garbage fan LaBarre knew the band's music inside and out, so he briefed us on what to expect musically while I covered the camera assignments. Again, having trustworthy camera operators is imperative, and if you can find operators who have musical experience as well, you will be much better off. It pays big dividends when a camera operator can identify who is doing that guitar solo without being told. The footage looked great. The two Eluras planted in drummer Butch Vig's drum kit delivered really different, usable angles, and the balcony camera kept singer Shirley Manson in sight at all times, despite the vibration caused by the crowd and the band's sound system. One small problem surfaced about an hour into the show when we had to change tapes in three cameras simultaneously. After about 30 seconds of limited coverage, we were back to full force."

Editing the Garbage footage was a pure joy because we never lacked for something to cut to. We again suffered from the un-lit crowd syndrome, but we knew that would be a problem going in. Garbage's music, despite being pop rock, has a darker quality about it, and the footage leant itself to the look we got. We produced a four-song demo DVD so the band could get an idea of what the footage looked like. An isolated drum-cam track demonstrates a possible extra feature that could be included on a DVD release. Word has it that the band was happy with the results. Although the final distribution of the video is still up in the air, I think we proved our point: DV makes it possible to produce high-impact, high-quality, live music performance videos that are on par with anything the big-iron approach can give you, but with a lot less hassle and cost".
