STRAPPING YOUNG LAD - Rare 1997 Bootleg Footage From Minneapolis Show Surfaces On YouTube

Rare bootleg footage of Strapping Young Lad, fronted by Devin Townsend, performing live in Minneapolis in 1997 at First Avenue has surfaced on YouTube courtesy of Nick's World Of Bootlegs. A note from the man himself:

"It's not often that some historic Devin Townsend footage emerges, so try to enjoy despite the mediocre quality. I was surprised to see these guys playing Far Beyond Metal since there wasn't a studio version of that song released until The New Black in 2006, but apparently, the song existed back around the City album and was actually a live staple on this tour."

The clip below is pro-shot footage of the Devin Townsend Project live at Summer Breeze 2017 featuring Anneke Van Giersbergen on guest vocals. They performed on August 17th.

The setlist was as follows:

"Rejoice"
"Stormbending"
"Failure"
"Deadhead"
"Supercrush!"
"March of the Poozers"
"Kingdom"
"Grace"
"Higher"
