Beneath the broad canopy of Yasgur’s Farm’s performance pavilion, Bud Acuto takes centre stage with a gold guitar and a vintage-style microphone. Around him, the People Behind Me Band fill the stage, while an audience gathers on the wooden dance floor. Coloured lights, drifting stage mist and a large screen frame a scene that captures the social pleasure of live music in Second Life.
The photographs tell their own story of the gathering. Some visitors dance close to the stage; others spread out across the floor, enjoying the occasion together. A view from behind the performers reverses the usual concert perspective, putting the audience at the heart of the picture. From that angle, the connection between stage and dance floor becomes the focus.
Bud is easily recognisable in his olive-green jacket, white shirt and dark trousers. His central position anchors the stage presentation, with Bonz pictured on bass to one side and another band member appearing with guitar and handheld percussion to the other. Behind them, Baller sits at an expansive drum kit, while Sarah occupies the keyboard area. Janis rocks many instruments during the set and is also a huge part of Bud Acuto’s music in Second Life.
Yasgur’s Farm
Yasgur’s Farm gives the occasion a fitting setting. The Lakeside venue was integral to August’s Woodstock festival, and its rustic surroundings carry that festival theme beyond the pavilion. For the wider Woodstock story, read Samual’s Woodstock: Three Days That Changed Music Forever.
Readers can also explore the live-performance material that is highlighted on the dozzycal YouTube channel. Alongside the photographs, it offers another way to discover Bud Acuto’s performance world. Yasgur’s Farm films all performances and you can use the above link to view the many amazing artists that perform there. The actual live performance this explorer viewed can be watched here.
At Yasgur’s Farm, the stage and its surroundings belong to the same experience: music in the pavilion, friends on the dance floor and a whole landscape waiting beyond the lights.
