I wanted to watch AFI perform The Despair Factor again from one of the London shows in 2003 - AND CAME ACROSS THIS.
What sick fucking quality! Did someone here upload this?
I’ve been looking for footage from this show for years.

Yeah, I found this like 2 weeks ago. I searched for >20 minutes live videos. I don’t know how I missed it.
The show is incomplete, but This Secret Ninja during the STS era was awesome.

It’s got to be the best performance of The Prayer Position I’ve heard. Both Jade and Hunter’s tones sound so fuckin’ nasty. I love it.

I wonder when this was uploaded,I’m curious to see how this was under the radar and if a recent upload why the wait. I remember back prior to aod-beginning of sts,Afi was going to have stuff recorded for a dvd that never surfaced,it wouldn’t suprise me if this was part of the anticipated footage because this is closest to pro shot in that era.The London Astoria show was awesome aswell so was the festimad gig but those were later post sts all in 2003 .This is a definite gem though the mix and tones everything is super on point,thanks for the upload I have a feeling I’ll be going back to this multiple times a day

You’re welcome dude, I had to post it here the minute I saw it because I knew that no one else would even begin to understand my obsessive and excited fanboying lol.
The timestamp says January 2018. I remember doing a youtube search for “AFI live 2002” about 6 months ago and I didn’t see this. So it’s pretty recent, unless it was uploaded previously and then re-uploaded. But as I said, I’d been looking for this show for a long time. I have pictures from it which someone on the DF boards sent me ages ago. I couldn’t remember what show they were from, all I could go by was the electrical tape or whatever it is on Dave’s arms.
