Playpen in Wildwood		Witness Yes  Show YouTube Video   "Distant Early Warning" Kent Warner steps up to the mike to do this hot version of the Rush classic. Filmed at the Playpen in Wildwood.  Footnote: Spoke with Kent 3/26/07 and he's doing fine! Playpen in Wildwood
	Witness Yes  Show YouTube Video "All Good People" I don't think The TV folks were expecting the very hot signal blasting off Higgins's sound board, but the crowd loved it! (Rumor has it there were screams of pain and blood trickling out of the Channel 2 studio truck outside!) The result is a funky TV mix, but it's ok once you get used to it, and it gets better after their hearing returns.  Playpen in Wildwood		Witness Joel Show  YouTube Video "Pressure !" From the raw videotape shot that night- Billy doing Billy! Not sure what they were doing in the TV van to the audio, but this was some of Billy at his best when it came to acting! (And he had a sore throat that night)  I left the backstage shots and Garry intro. Playpen in Wildwood
	Witness Joel Show  YouTube Video "Big Shot !" Billy and Steelman go head to head on this one! Witness fans will remember this as the classic "Fight for Attention" song. Filmed at the Playpen in Wildwood in the early 80's, this Joel song sets the stage for some real fun!  Playpen in Wildwood		Witness Joel Show  YouTube Video "The Stranger" Some neat shots showing what the world looked like to Mitch behind the Drums accent this Joel classic sung by our classic entertainer, Billy Spence. Filmed at the Playpen in Wildwood in the early 80's. Playpen in Wildwood
	"Scenes" Special Version YouTube Video Both Marc Britton (Clarinet) and Michael Disston (Sax) perform together in this rare video of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" shot at the Playpen in 1983. Channel 2 mixed this one for TV, so the sound is a little shallow, and the stage was whitewashed with light (my pet peeve) but this is great rare footage!		Band -  Original work YouTube Video Alternate ending to Tommy's new Guitar Short clip -  Steelman's final solo was often improvised and some of them became classics! I call this one  "The Wizard of Oz" ending!  Playpen in Wildwood
	Band -  Original work YouTube Video "Taking Your Time" Original Music, written and arranged by Witness. Filmed in 1984. Playpen in Wildwood		Witness  Show YouTube Video  "Uncle Albert"  Billy performs this classis while Kent fills in the British Accent.  Playpen in Wildwood
	Band -  Original work YouTube Video "Look Around"  Taped at The Playpen in Wildwood. Chn 2 taped this for one of their shows. White-washed stage (as a Lighting Designed, I always hated that) and unfortunately, there is some hum in the audio track. Playpen in Wildwood		Band -  Original work YouTube Video "One More Chance" Recorded at the Playpen. Original work, written and arranged by Witness. As a lighting designer, whitewashing the stage used to drive me nuts. Still, a good song for our friends in Wildwood. Playpen in Wildwood
	Band -  Original work YouTube Video "Poor Lonely Man" This is wild footage shot by me on stage with Witness at the Playpen for later editing. Kind of a "Band's Eye View" of things. The song is a Witness original called "Poor Lonely Man." The footage was raw unedited, but it's kind of cool and shows some of the Playpen crowd.  Playpen in Wildwood		Rooney Sings ! YouTube Video Tim Rooney come out to front a Springstene song as the band "Syn" joins us onstage for this unrehearsed and somewhat crazy moment! Great fun tho! Shot Live at the Playpen in Wildwood
	Steelman Vs Schecter ! YouTube Video Classic Steelman ! He challenges Mitch to a Drum-off!  Shot Live at the Playpen in Wildwood		Drum Solo (Mitch) YouTube Video Just as the title says! From our 84 taping by Channel 2 Shot Live at the Playpen in Wildwood
	See The Show! YouTube Video For our Wildwood Fans !! This is what things really looked like down at the Playpen in 84 After Channel 2 taped our show, they kept the cameras running while we kicked in our real lighting and effects! Most were too vivid for their equipment to take! This is a piece of the Genesis Show, unfortunately, the tape was damaged, and Billy had a sore throat.
