Thank you. The shows I did from 2018-2021 put this one to shame lol. I won the nationwide 76 fireworks last year in 2020 and my 2021 show was even better I think. Check them out let me know what you think! ruclips.net/channel/UCTLhXyq_WZ6noCbiLJW36gA
Nice work! Also, thanks for your comment on SO76 website about the crosette slices looking much bigger in person. I wouldn't have got them if you didn't bring me to this video. Thanks and great job on this show.
2016 show is online! Check it out here... ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13hubtq4kv5itgud233cb15ykrrhjzrz04
Pretty cool. I have three cobra mods and buying one more to have four this year. Depends on money but last year I had a little more than 3500 in wholesale at the house . It's fun. The lake show i help with is all donations like yours we have around 7000 this year. I light half of it with my cobra and they hand light the others . Pretty nice I'll keep checking out for vides
Thanks for the info, I actually did just pick up an 18r2 & mod for the 4th & my second mod should be arriving today. I was just comparing to what I put up which was less than a third of that and looking forward to building on it. You're absolutely right about getting a group deal working in your favor and the support from Cobra. They are awesome. I just made my first script. Thanks for responding.
Mike Rosales Good deal. Have fun scripting! Synching all of it with music adds an extra level of "fun" to the process. I am sure you will find out after each show you'll end up saying.... if I had one more module I could do..... :)
+PNOY PYRO Thanks. Video was kinda crappy the first few minutes (my main camera had an epic fail on me). Working kicking up the intro this year. Got a couple extra modules to help with that.
Kevin Smith Plus I really had to turn down the music sound track during that portion of the video so the whistles sound worse on the video than they did during the show. RUclips copyright police really like the song for those About to Rock We Salute You. They muted my entire video when that song was detected. Hate that.
I agree on the Noab's. Good ones give you 3" quality in a 2" shell, good symmetry, height, composition, and sometimes they hit hard. Too bad they're a fortune
Yes they cost a lot. Have to allocate a lot of $ to that portion of the show. Had about 12 as part of the finale in my 2016 show here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html Starting at the 24:20 mark
This was down the road from me. I usually do something similar every New Year except it's just for family. I had a lot of people pull over near Point Northwest in Copperfield just watching. I should be doing it again this year I already have a lot of cakes and shells i'm just looking for a few good fan cakes. Across the Universe and Unfair Advantage most likely is what i'll end up with. Maybe Fear in my enemies eyes. Good job btw I see a lot of Whacky Tobacky.
+Ed Grillo Just a cheap 12 cue no Cobra system for me. I am thinking about it though. The majority of what I do is all timing and the cake set up. Some cakes give you a good minute while I use racks I fuse together. Besides that I make boards and use cannon fuse for extra time. I don't like smoke build up so a little wind is a good thing but a lot of the times you just don't get lucky.
I hear ya. My set up always has the wind blowing away from the audience towards the water so it is always a clear view. I am up to 4 Cobra modules and will add at least 1 more plus the Cobra Audio Box. I have to sync music in more than 1 backyard so that is a pain in the neck right now. I still do a HUGE amount of fusing with regular cannon, fast, and super fast fuse as you can tell from the set-up part of my video. I would probably need 40 modules if I did not fuse everything lol I have the scripted remote so it is all programmed. Press 1 button and go. It is pretty cool.
Ed Grillo I did consider doing that it's really cool how you can have a domino effect and it all be timed perfectly. Nothing I do is really for a huge audience just close friends and family, but people stop to watch so I guess it entertains them so i'm all for that. It started as a hobby and just grew. Now I want lasers and lights LoL I don't know much about that or the rules so i'm not buying until I do. On the plus side i'm debating which way to go for a finale. Z shaped fan cake. I keep jumping around but no clue how it should end. I have some good options.
+FailHappenZ I started with a 12 queue low cost one too before switching to Cobra. Recommend it when you can afford. Ending is always important to me. I had 90 bump bear, 9 Whacky Tobacky, six 180 shot 76 Proline z cakes, 100 fast fused artillery shells, and 12 color star cakes fast fused. All in sequence.and I had it timed almost perfect to the note in the last song. It was absolutely crazy lol.
I don't know if you know this but you are getting ripped off when you buy those 3" finale cakes. They're just normal size shells and they wrap them in 3" containers. You can't legally get 3" shells without a type 54 ATF license. You're better off getting more 500 gram cakes. Especially considering that most of those 3" cakes cost twice as much if not more.
Appreciate the comment. Yeah, I know the construction. However I buy and shoot a lot of different kinds of fireworks including the hundreds of consumer artillary shells that were included in this show as well. The size of the break and the height is better on these NOAB Wacky Tobacky compared to a high quality artillery shell. I like being able to have a lot of different effects during the show and this is just one of them. I do know when these went off, I used some video of a guy with his phone and you can hear him say "f*ck man!" on the audio at the 25:55 mark when they all started going off so the audience likes them as well.
Why is the drone pilot not able to keep it in frame and why would they start the show with the smokiest fireworks that cloud the sky up lol awesome show though and cool how they had it wired like that
Had a ground based camera fail on the non smoke side that made me go to plan B. Also cant get full from from audience side due to proximity and camera in use. 2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html
How r u. I have a ? At 1.30 there's a pic. In the pic. In the top there's some long blue tubes in racks. I was wondering what product is that, and how far apart are the single sweep cakes. Thanks
+dominoboy1998 Yeah you're correct! Love that song for fireworks finales since it really build to a good crescendo at the end. Charge of Fort Wagner :). When I get the timing right for the finish, it really kicks ass.
Mike Rosales Mike, this was about $3500 in fireworks. I get them from 76 which has pretty good pricing at that order amount. I get a bunch of neighbors and friends to contribute so in reality we spend less per person with this vs. going to fireworks stands and dropping $400-$500 each and walking out with next to nothing. A one time cost is a good firing system. I highly recommend a cobra system as they are rock solid performers, rugged, and the support from the company is out standing. It is about $600 to get a remote and 1 firing module. You can always add extra firing modules as the show goes which is what I have done over the years. Thanks for viewing.
If you were still wondering about getting a wide shot, film with a DSLR and a wide angle lens. I use a Canon EOS7D with a 10-22 lens. I don’t think there is a video camera out there that can shoot that wide. Do you have to shoot video from the neighborhood side of the dam or can you get across the water on the other side and maybe further away ?
Michael - I started using GoPros. They have a very wide field of view. All the drone cams are GoPro or like them so that is how I got the idea. Started using them exclusively last year. I think they are a good option especially for the price. I have a camera set up on the opposite bank of the pond and also from one of the back yards on the neighborhood side. Both GoPros get full width and height from each location.
I've never been a fan of Go Pros but if they work for pyro with a wide FOV I might give them another look. And I happen to have one... Thanks for the tip.@@TXPyro
@@mguerramd yeah they do have some drawbacks especially on the amount of battery time you get out of them. However I have found if you turn off all the "bells and whistles" like the built in wifi etc... they have plenty of battery time to get a full show.
Any chance you would share the product list and script? I'm looking to put on a show for fallen police and firefighters at a memorial 5k... I've been trying to put it together and its not going well at all. The date however is fast approaching!
gottah start low bro. buy a few cakes, mortars and fuse. sync them together with tape or zipties to give you an idea. itll help alot than you see what u like
Sorry just saw this been really busy with the 2016 show. You can see it here: 2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html If you want product list and script for this show would be happy to share.
Great Video Would you be willing to share the planning documents and item list? I did a similar show ($1500) with the product line from superior fireworks(sorry no video, camera problems). I noticed you were able to have large portions of your show display a single color. I was not able to find any products that sold just one color. Were you able to do this because of the sheer number of fireworks?
unlocalhost Sure. You can download my plan from my cloud drive here: 1drv.ms/1U7H3Va I used a lot of single color cakes from '76 for the effects you mentioned. I used quite a few rapid fire peonys in red white and blue. My favorite single color effect I used for the first time this year was a red crossette that went off at about the 8:30 mark. There were 2 pairs of 2 going off 0.1 sec apart. That effect was really wide, about 500 ft and was really bright. Will do that one again next year. You can hear the crowd really liked that one.
Thanks Chad. $8000 is a big budget if you are going wholesale which you should if you have that much $. I shoot all 1.4 and the $3500 - $4500 range I shoot gives about a 20-25min show non-stop. In my opinion that is a pretty long show. I know I dont want to go longer than that. I am shooting off 3 separate platforms and I have to work to avoid the "sky puke" effect of too much going off at once. I still get some of that anyway unfortunately since the fuse and cake timing isnt always precise. I'm not even sure I could get near shooting $8000 in that amount of time. I watched your show and thought it was good. I see a lot of similarity with what I do. I would even guess maybe you buy from '76 Fireworks. Some suggestions based on what I do/like would be I always have the same thing going off on the outside 2 platforms (at least that is how it is planned). I think it adds visual balance. If I am doing that I will try to use cakes that do not shoot too high and then have something that shoots high on the center platform. I also like to use solid color effects during portions of the show. I got it pretty good at my 2014 show here: ruclips.net/video/4FVwaBCU2VQ/видео.html Also part of my finale as all 3 platforms shooting a bunch of daisy chained fuses 200g cakes. I have 60 of them going off here, think it looks pretty good. ruclips.net/video/4nLvjyvfBNw/видео.html Most of my special effects at the beginning of this show worked pretty good at the beginning. I have a lake right behind the platforms so I like to use a combination of smoke and strobes in that area. I have been using more special effects each year as well. Nice to mix it up since I think a lot of the different cakes look all the same to the audience after a while. I used a good one here: ruclips.net/video/4nLvjyvfBNw/видео.html Hope that helps!
real good show. About how much was spent whole sale im guessing? I have a cobra system . How many modules did you have to fire off of? We started shooting in our neighborhood years ago just like you and the lake is right around the corner. Show got bigger each year so one year we moved it to a private camp ground on the lake. I help shoot the show each year reminds me of ours. I do a pretty good one at my place each year. i need to get some videos uploaded

Don O'Neil Whacky Tobacky by Brother. I had 9 of them separated in groups of 3 going off 20secs apart (there were 3 going off at the same time when that sequence started) You can see some of them at the 3:45 mark. I get them at 76 www.76fireworks.com/TB237_Whacky_Tobacky
+bppyro pyrotechnic Yes they were CM216 crackling comets with mine. I thought they looked pretty good. They are going off at 11:17. I wanted to have them go off by themselves but had to much overlap with other stuff so that did not work out.
+TwistedPyroSkellington Thanks. Those are Sky Patriot ruclips.net/video/3gi8fQr9VyU/видео.html There is also an Airboss cake going off.... had some overlap there.
July fireworks The song is the from the soundtrack from the movie Glory. Song is Charge of Fort Wagner. Really like that one for the finale... good length and builds to the end. A friend took the drone video for me so it was not mine and not sure what model. Here is a pic of it. onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=CF5C9D2660E8B5A2&resid=CF5C9D2660E8B5A2%2163684&authkey=AFjSYp9MzYA2UhY
david marshall Yeah maybe you're right lol.... I had so many camera views going on needed to get them in there somehow. The box in the beginning I made too big I think. Live and learn. Thanks for viewing... feel free to share.
hi grillo, when will be the complete fireworks stash 2016 (fine if you don't, lol)? this time, how much fund are you willing to spend? btw please add some of the various 9-shot cakes, and make a raw video without movement of that firework show. good luck of your work, get more viewers. and on the other hand, wish you can hold a seasonal firework store to gain more for your show and/or such party. :) seeking if this kind of music carries your idea up -> ruclips.net/video/iIx7Pk2ugRA/видео.html
You got that small group of people to donate $4000+?! Good lord, must be a rich neighborhood. Our family 4th has upwards of 250 people and I'm lucky when I can squeeze $1,000 out of them. Then they bitch and moan that the show was too short.
+Kille78 Yes, pretty lucky I have a group that is willing to donate so much. Started with a group of folks that were already spending a few hundred each on fireworks at stands each year and you know how little you can get for that. When they saw how much that same amount could get when we grouped resources and bought wholesale it really helped. I dont ask for any donations at the show, we do everything months in advance. All the houses that are along the display you see in the video contribute. Whenever we get a new neighbor, I give them a "free" show and without fail so far, they become an investor.
Ya I've been wanting to buy from '76 fireworks but I can't justify their shipping costs on my budget. 800 lbs of product runs me $250 in shipping which is usually a little under half my budget gone right off the bat. I use a few different companies that have free shipping on orders over $500. Only downside is their selections are nothing compared to "76's. Plus they don't always have videos of each item like '76 does.
Kille78 ALOT if not most of the products sold from all dealers are the same product just a different wrapper, do what I do and open two windows, on one I check prices and the second is RUclips to look up the video of the firework in question.
awesome video and editing!!! I live close to cypress as well. maybe we could combine budgets and get better wholesale pricing. shoot me an email. reedasmith867@yahoo.com
+reed smith hi reed, even though i am not an owner, wanna tell you that, you need a method of payment to combine. furthermore, the range of average shipping is as far as from the south to north Pole, between 100 lbs and 200 lbs, you would probably need $50 and
Great show...just wish I could have seen it without the TERRIBLE cinematography. We get it...you have a drone...or two....good for you. But the drone does you no good if you cut the frame of the whole show and that picture-in-picture deal just ruins it. Just a suggestion next year you would be better served filming from a ground perspective or from further back with the drone to keep everything in frame. Otherwise I envy you and your ability to pull off a show like this.
Andy H. Well that is a pretty candid comment. lol. I had a ground based full frame camera that failed to record so I was left with the drone shots, a close up we had set on one of the platforms, and a couple of small shots I had from people phones viewing the show. I tried to get the best combination from the limited footage I had without my ground camera. My other shows always have the ground based as the main show so I agree with your point. The drone view starting at 21:50 was pretty close to the one that had for the ground view that failed with the exception it was from a lower angle of course. I did have the PIPs too big on some portions as well so agree there. Even with that compared to most videos of other shows I see posted I think it's pretty good. Getting 5 video and audio tracks to be synched is a pain in the you know what. Plus after you process a video of this size at 45 min a pop and then upload to RUclips for another 45-60min a few times just to get past the copyright BS with the songs on the sound track you get a bit worn down on getting all the other edits perfect. Appreciate you watching.
2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html I'm ready for the critique lol I think it is better camera work and editing. Still need to get a video camera that can get a full screen angle shot from audience view. Not able to do that still since we are too close to set up. You know of video camera that may be able to handle that?
check all the songs in the RUclips system first. You can see if there are restrictions before you use. I will not use any songs in the future that cant be played in US. Their list is ever changing and actually getting less restrictive. 2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html
That is incredible! Best ever
Thank you. The shows I did from 2018-2021 put this one to shame lol. I won the nationwide 76 fireworks last year in 2020 and my 2021 show was even better I think. Check them out let me know what you think! ruclips.net/channel/UCTLhXyq_WZ6noCbiLJW36gA
Nice work! Also, thanks for your comment on SO76 website about the crosette slices looking much bigger in person. I wouldn't have got them if you didn't bring me to this video. Thanks and great job on this show.

Wondering how much money was spent on the fireworks alone to do a show like that
Mike Rosales Mike, this was about $3500 in fireworks. I get them from 76 which has pretty good pricing at that order amount. I get a bunch of neighbors and friends to contribute so in reality we spend less per person with this vs. going to fireworks stands and dropping $400-$500 each and walking out with next to nothing. A one time cost is a good firing system. I highly recommend a cobra system as they are rock solid performers, rugged, and the support from the company is out standing. It is about $600 to get a remote and 1 firing module. You can always add extra firing modules as the show goes which is what I have done over the years. Thanks for viewing.

Great Video
Would you be willing to share the planning documents and item list? I did a similar show ($1500) with the product line from superior fireworks(sorry no video, camera problems). I noticed you were able to have large portions of your show display a single color. I was not able to find any products that sold just one color. Were you able to do this because of the sheer number of fireworks?
unlocalhost Sure. You can download my plan from my cloud drive here: 1drv.ms/1U7H3Va
I used a lot of single color cakes from '76 for the effects you mentioned. I used quite a few rapid fire peonys in red white and blue. My favorite single color effect I used for the first time this year was a red crossette that went off at about the 8:30 mark. There were 2 pairs of 2 going off 0.1 sec apart. That effect was really wide, about 500 ft and was really bright. Will do that one again next year. You can hear the crowd really liked that one.

oh thanks
Great show bro , I' m with John . we are hoping to synchronize better this year . Any suggestions on a $8000 budget ? thanks
Thanks Chad. $8000 is a big budget if you are going wholesale which you should if you have that much $. I shoot all 1.4 and the $3500 - $4500 range I shoot gives about a 20-25min show non-stop. In my opinion that is a pretty long show. I know I dont want to go longer than that. I am shooting off 3 separate platforms and I have to work to avoid the "sky puke" effect of too much going off at once. I still get some of that anyway unfortunately since the fuse and cake timing isnt always precise. I'm not even sure I could get near shooting $8000 in that amount of time.
I watched your show and thought it was good. I see a lot of similarity with what I do. I would even guess maybe you buy from '76 Fireworks. Some suggestions based on what I do/like would be I always have the same thing going off on the outside 2 platforms (at least that is how it is planned). I think it adds visual balance. If I am doing that I will try to use cakes that do not shoot too high and then have something that shoots high on the center platform. I also like to use solid color effects during portions of the show. I got it pretty good at my 2014 show here: ruclips.net/video/4FVwaBCU2VQ/видео.html Also part of my finale as all 3 platforms shooting a bunch of daisy chained fuses 200g cakes. I have 60 of them going off here, think it looks pretty good. ruclips.net/video/4nLvjyvfBNw/видео.html Most of my special effects at the beginning of this show worked pretty good at the beginning. I have a lake right behind the platforms so I like to use a combination of smoke and strobes in that area.
I have been using more special effects each year as well. Nice to mix it up since I think a lot of the different cakes look all the same to the audience after a while. I used a good one here: ruclips.net/video/4nLvjyvfBNw/видео.html Hope that helps!

real good show. About how much was spent whole sale im guessing? I have a cobra system . How many modules did you have to fire off of? We started shooting in our neighborhood years ago just like you and the lake is right around the corner. Show got bigger each year so one year we moved it to a private camp ground on the lake. I help shoot the show each year reminds me of ours. I do a pretty good one at my place each year. i need to get some videos uploaded
+John Sharp Thanks. This is around $3500. Used 4 modules for this show. Got a few more for this years event :)

What were the really high/large shells at about 26 mins in? Who made them?
Don O'Neil Whacky Tobacky by Brother. I had 9 of them separated in groups of 3 going off 20secs apart (there were 3 going off at the same time when that sequence started) You can see some of them at the 3:45 mark. I get them at 76 www.76fireworks.com/TB237_Whacky_Tobacky

were those spirit of 76 pro line comets
+bppyro pyrotechnic Yes they were CM216 crackling comets with mine. I thought they looked pretty good. They are going off at 11:17. I wanted to have them go off by themselves but had to much overlap with other stuff so that did not work out.
AWESOME!!! What were the fan cakes in the middle at 22:45? Multi colored ones.
+TwistedPyroSkellington Thanks. Those are Sky Patriot ruclips.net/video/3gi8fQr9VyU/видео.html There is also an Airboss cake going off.... had some overlap there.

One other? Is this all 1.4? That anyone can purchase?
July fireworks Yes, everything I purchased is 1.4 consumer.
Song?
which one?
@Jack Frost- song by fall out boy fourth of july
What was that song at the end and what type of drone do you have?
July fireworks The song is the from the soundtrack from the movie Glory. Song is Charge of Fort Wagner. Really like that one for the finale... good length and builds to the end. A friend took the drone video for me so it was not mine and not sure what model. Here is a pic of it. onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=CF5C9D2660E8B5A2&resid=CF5C9D2660E8B5A2%2163684&authkey=AFjSYp9MzYA2UhY
2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html lol same song at end.... I like it so I guess creative license :)
that damn box is irritateing lmao
david marshall Yeah maybe you're right lol.... I had so many camera views going on needed to get them in there somehow. The box in the beginning I made too big I think. Live and learn. Thanks for viewing... feel free to share.
i meant no disrespect sir the only thing is invite me next time lol
2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html Not as much PIP, you will like
hi grillo, when will be the complete fireworks stash 2016 (fine if you don't, lol)? this time, how much fund are you willing to spend? btw please add some of the various 9-shot cakes, and make a raw video without movement of that firework show. good luck of your work, get more viewers. and on the other hand, wish you can hold a seasonal firework store to gain more for your show and/or such party. :)
seeking if this kind of music carries your idea up -> ruclips.net/video/iIx7Pk2ugRA/видео.html
stash complete. Working on the set up.
k. :)

You got that small group of people to donate $4000+?! Good lord, must be a rich neighborhood. Our family 4th has upwards of 250 people and I'm lucky when I can squeeze $1,000 out of them. Then they bitch and moan that the show was too short.
+Kille78 Yes, pretty lucky I have a group that is willing to donate so much. Started with a group of folks that were already spending a few hundred each on fireworks at stands each year and you know how little you can get for that. When they saw how much that same amount could get when we grouped resources and bought wholesale it really helped. I dont ask for any donations at the show, we do everything months in advance. All the houses that are along the display you see in the video contribute. Whenever we get a new neighbor, I give them a "free" show and without fail so far, they become an investor.
Ya I've been wanting to buy from '76 fireworks but I can't justify their shipping costs on my budget. 800 lbs of product runs me $250 in shipping which is usually a little under half my budget gone right off the bat. I use a few different companies that have free shipping on orders over $500. Only downside is their selections are nothing compared to "76's. Plus they don't always have videos of each item like '76 does.
2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html
Kille78 ALOT if not most of the products sold from all dealers are the same product just a different wrapper, do what I do and open two windows, on one I check prices and the second is RUclips to look up the video of the firework in question.
Awesome show but what a cluster fck!!! Lol
Shane Moretti ? What do you mean?
So much action lol
Check out my show on my channel. Drop a sub if you want
2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html
awesome video and editing!!! I live close to cypress as well. maybe we could combine budgets and get better wholesale pricing. shoot me an email. reedasmith867@yahoo.com
+reed smith hi reed, even though i am not an owner, wanna tell you that, you need a method of payment to combine. furthermore, the range of average shipping is as far as from the south to north Pole, between 100 lbs and 200 lbs, you would probably need $50 and
rkm cheaper. my email is bppyro14@gmail.com
Great show...just wish I could have seen it without the TERRIBLE cinematography. We get it...you have a drone...or two....good for you. But the drone does you no good if you cut the frame of the whole show and that picture-in-picture deal just ruins it. Just a suggestion next year you would be better served filming from a ground perspective or from further back with the drone to keep everything in frame. Otherwise I envy you and your ability to pull off a show like this.
Andy H. Well that is a pretty candid comment. lol. I had a ground based full frame camera that failed to record so I was left with the drone shots, a close up we had set on one of the platforms, and a couple of small shots I had from people phones viewing the show. I tried to get the best combination from the limited footage I had without my ground camera. My other shows always have the ground based as the main show so I agree with your point. The drone view starting at 21:50 was pretty close to the one that had for the ground view that failed with the exception it was from a lower angle of course. I did have the PIPs too big on some portions as well so agree there. Even with that compared to most videos of other shows I see posted I think it's pretty good. Getting 5 video and audio tracks to be synched is a pain in the you know what. Plus after you process a video of this size at 45 min a pop and then upload to RUclips for another 45-60min a few times just to get past the copyright BS with the songs on the sound track you get a bit worn down on getting all the other edits perfect. Appreciate you watching.
+Ed Grillo How did you get by the copyright BS?. Seems every time I put one up they strike it down
2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html I'm ready for the critique lol I think it is better camera work and editing. Still need to get a video camera that can get a full screen angle shot from audience view. Not able to do that still since we are too close to set up. You know of video camera that may be able to handle that?
check all the songs in the RUclips system first. You can see if there are restrictions before you use. I will not use any songs in the future that cant be played in US. Their list is ever changing and actually getting less restrictive. 2016 show uploaded here: ruclips.net/video/ULOS-ZfDCN4/видео.html
