I've put up a complete video recording of the Drop Trio concert my wife and I saw while at the South-by-Southwest music show. It's an incredibly energetic performance of the funky, groove-oriented jazz-thang they do.
I recorded the whole thing on my puny little Sony Clie, which is a Palm-based device with a built-in camera. The video is low resolution (160x120) but the sound is suprisingly good. The Sony makes MPEG4 files that seem to only play (today) on reasonable new version of Quicktime.
The video is definitely watchable, and great fun. I love the part (at 13 minutes into the 2nd video) where Ian Varley stands up and starts bouncing up and down like a crazed hamster as he pounds out an amazing organ improv on the basic riff of the song.
The video is at the bottom of the Drop Trio page at

WOW, never knew the sound from a Sony Clie can be this good! Nice concert and great job in recording it. Peace!
