You Tube Clip: Peter Cooper with Jerry Brightman

May 10, 2011 Youtube Clip

Over four years ago, Peter Cooper came and played a show at Paul’s Nite Club in my hometown. He met up with pedal steel player, Jerry Brightman (formally of Buck Owens’ Buckaroos) for the show. I filmed the show with two cameras and never got around to doing anything with it.

With the approaching Civil Rights Game this Sunday, I thought this would be a good place to start. This is Cooper’s song, “715 (for Hank Aaron) and  I have edited the video with archival baseball footage. The video quality is not really all that good. The pedal steel is a little overpowering and as with anything shot in a bar, the background chatter is annoying. Overall though, I think it turned out okay.

It is what it is… enjoy:
