Haley and Casey StageIt Performance - Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013

YouTube just notified me, I just got my first 100,000 views video @HaleyReinhart @CaseyBassy "Sail" #Stageit

Nice milestone, Tusk. I wonder how long until Creep O2 version get there.

2 1/2 weeks in, currently at 23.5K views, normally I'd expect an eventual slow down then drip drip drip...

"Sail" in the last year has consistently gained 3k-7k views each month, it's usually among my top 3 views of any months.

But Creep is another animal completely, this is just the beginning days, if it's to continue getting bigger (the Studio PMJ vid), who knows? Never experienced anything like this with my youtube account, but it's definitely fun refreshing the page every once in a while and see it move up, sometimes in the 100s

I'm biased, but that O2 performance of "Creep" is definitely a WTF moment... gone is the cutesy gal who wuvs to sing and cracks up in the middle of songs...

In Creep... it's just a sublime performance

I think Haley's official PMJ version of Creep has real potential to explode (in a good way). Just over two days into the upload it has 630,000 views and it getting linked to quite a bit. However, with the right endorsement or the right link, or other publicity and it could really take off. If that occurs everything Haley will shift into the next gear, including Creep O2 and your channel overall. Even if this scenario doesn't unfold your Creep will accumulate views at a good clip.

Creep may not have the broad appeal of AATB, which seems to appeal to all kinds of people. It's a fun earworm. Creep is dark and, as they say, haunting, which might limit some of the interest. But those that like it tend to be blown away.

I've been meaning to do this for some time, talking about it at the Whisky a go go M&G w/ Haley, trying to persuade Haley to get together w/ Casey to do another Stageit show, I decided to have a go at making a "good version" of this whole show w/o the weird audio issues that was in the original stream as well as post a version that has better resolution than the one Nick posted back in 2013

I knew already how to fix the audio issue of the sound going back and forth between the left and right channels, the challenge with this was the version of the show I have, the video and audio don't quite track.  I think it's partly a result of whatever utility was used to record the show.  Alot of times, if you try to capture a long feed, during the closing processing, the video and the audio don't always match.  So there were spots in the video that was in sync, then would be a few seconds ahead or behind.  The challenge was to go through and try to find places in the video where I could splice into, then speed up or slow down that section of the video.  I was mostly successful, but there are spots in the video that didn't work so well, but usually gets back into sync within a few seconds.  It turned out I had to make 28 edits in the whole 50 minutes to get the video in relative sync...  

Enjoy and Happy HaleyWeen!

John needed to buy a lottery ticket after posting this five years ago, a couple days after PMJ's Creep was posted....
I checked, by this posting, my channel collected over 900K views, less than a million, in 2 & a half years.... Since this post was made 5 1/2 years ago, my channel has accumulated 31.3 Million views since!
