730 views Oct 6, 2011 (originally posted, updated in higher resolution) X-IT-5 was a NYC based groove rock band that was one of the official NYC Marathon bands, performing @ the marathon for 4 years in a row. This location was at about the 5 mile mark with the runners coming off the Verrazano Bridge, Staten Island into Brooklyn. We were positioned at about 86th street and 4th ave, the high energy we felt playing in between thousands of international runners and watching this sea of humanity coming towards us was an epic spectacle making this one of our funnest most unusual gigs. This was recorded via a hi-8 camera and unfortunately the sound quality isn't the greatest and is no indication of what we actually sounded like there, what's more important is the vibe and energy that this footage captures as well as the 1989 archival marathon footage as we were at the 21 mile mark. If you ran at this marathon we dedicate this footage to you, if you recognize yourself leave a comment...Namaste!
