VVTG is coming.............
July 15, 2000
Just a reminder that the House of Blues rebroadcast starts tonight
and runs on a loop for 24 hours. This is a full Venice
show, and 28.8k and 56k streams are free. If your computer
can handle faster streams at better audio and video quality, they're
available as pay-per-view.
Also, a couple of cool Los
Angeles shows have been scheduled. Check the Tour Dates page for info.

Update
Nope, tomorrow night's show is definitely cancelled. Sorry.

NEWS FLASH: Lou Gramm of Foreigner has Laryngitis,
so tomorrow night's Foreigner show at the Redondo Beach Performing
Arts Center, with Venice opening, has been cancelled. Refunds
will be given at the point of purchase. However...
Venice has offered to headline the show instead. If this happens,
refunds would still be given, but anyone who drives out for the
concert could stick around and still get to hear live music, for
free, and the house will still make money on drinks. We're
waiting to hear back on whether the venue accepts this offer.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. So LA
fans, there just might be a free Venice show tomorrow night. No
guarantees, but keep checking back, and be ready to bolt out of
the house at a moment's notice, just in case.

The video clips just keep on coming. I've added Venice's
performance of "The Family Tree" from the Enschede Memorial
Benefit in Holland last month. Thanks to Herman van
Empel for this one,
and also for the backup copy of Pinkpop. (See, I told you
I'd get multiples. Gotta love it when people are reliable!) Check it out!
I also just got news from
Netherlands Radio DJ Rene
Steenbergen that
ZYX has just released the latest Venice single overseas, "The
Family Tree." A wise choice, considering all the media
attention the song has had recently. Hey Holland fans,
now would be a great time to call up your local radio stations
and request the song!!!

Finally got the Pinkpop video clips of "The Man You Think
I Am" and "The Family Tree." A few different
people are also sending me this same tape (I said yes to every
offer, for insurance), but Yvonne
Blik's got here
first. As the others arrive, I will credit them as
well. Check
that out here.
I also added some pictures
of the band's show in Eindhoven, Holland, courtesy of Annelies van der
Hofstad. Those are here.

Happy holiday, everyone! To celebrate, I've added some
new video clips, mostly courtesy of Cris Tortolano. Thanks, Cris!
So what have we got? Well, to start, how about Vonda Shepard singing "The Only Love I Had" on the television show "Ally McBeal?" As I'm sure you all know from having memorized the FAQ, Vonda also sang "Charm You" in another episode. I'd love to add that clip to the page, if anyone's got a copy.
Next up, Venice sings the National Anthem at a Los Angeles Kings hockey game. They used to do this all the time. In fact, there was quite a number of times in the mid 90s when I would mention to a friend or colleague that I was going to a Venice concert, and they would respond, "Hey, is that the group that sings the National Anthem at the Kings games?" For all the times they did it, and had it broadcast on television every single time, I can't believe it's taken this long to finally get a video clip of it up. Again, thank you Cris for having this in your collection.
Then there's David Crosby singing "Hero" on the Arsenio Hall Show in 1994, with Kipp Lennon singing the Phil Collins harmony part. Kipp's got a couple of nice close-ups. For an even better recording of the two of the singing this together, pick up Crosby's live album, "It's All Coming Back To Me Now..."
And finally, a video clip I picked up myself. Since Michael Lennon, Pat Lennon and Mark Harris are currently being featured in a high profile Pepsi ad, it seems only fitting that Kipp Lennon should find himself in a commercial for Pepsi's rival cola, Coke. But you'd never know it was him. The ad features hundreds of pink CGI aliens, with Kipp provided the speaking voices for every single one of them, and of course, his voice was altered electronically to sound more otherworldly. But trust me, it's him. Check it out here.
Have a great 4th everyone,
and stay safe!

Mark Lennon co-wrote and sang lead on a couple of tracks by Dave
Harris, "Blink of An Eye" and "Friend Are You There."
