Throughout the making of the album, our long time friend Randy was what I would call “a fly on the wall.” He was there most of the time taking in his own experience of Stage making its first album. He was still new to filmmaking and I don’t think the original purpose was to make a DVD, but he had so much footage that it made sense. It goes far back to the blue album in the hidden videos of “Ghost From December” and “Live Happy, Live With Anorexia.” We looked really young and I had long hair. My favorite part is seeing old footage of my dog who I actually wrote “way down there” about. Another highlight is seeing the recording of the kids for “Country Bleeding.” There are also hysterical moments of our studio antics. Overall, it was a DVD made for the true fans of Stage. It was released as the band departed and it simply brought you in a little closer to what would become the only major label recording of the band.
