Hanson Caps  
Sorry to the non-Hanson fans on my f-list. You can skip this. You shouldn't, but you can. ;)

These would have been done days ago if Photoshop, SmartFTP and Coppermine hadn't joined forces and conspired to make my life hell by overwriting caps, only uploading partial directories and just generally being pissy on purpose.

But in celebration of the release of "Middle of Nowhere Acoustic" and 10 years since MON, TTAMON and Snowed In and the nostalgia that seems to be inspiring in Hanson fans all over the net, I've made over 4000 caps of my TTAMON DVD and RTA VCD! (and I plan to cap the rest of my Hanson DVDs... one day. lol)

First up, Tulsa, Tokyo and the Middle of Nowhere. Now, I don't know if it was the video source footage being 10 years old (DVD or not) or Nero being a bitch (which is totally possible and not unheard of) but some of the caps aren't as clear and clean as I'd like. If there's a moment that isn't capped then the most likely reason is that it was so short or there was so much movement in it that the frame-by-frame skipping I was doing just wasn't leading to any clear shots. But I tried. :p

IMAGE HEAVY (there are about 50 caps under here).



Three Cheers for cheap 90's video effects!


I always loved how he'd sometimes suddenly start smiling while he was singing.


Zac letting us know from the start that he's the wacky one.


"Their eyes were the size of this ball!"


Tay showing off some of his smooth moves.


Too cute.


London, Baby!


Always one of my favorite Ike moments, for some reason. And I love how highly amusing Zac finds his big bro.


I so wish I could hear what Tay said that made Zac look at him like that.


I love how he holds her hand and she squeals and pulls it away like he bit her. lol Way to ruin what was probably the best moment of your life so far.


"I'm not late! You guys are later than me!" I was with Zac on this one. His argument ruled.


They should totally make documentaries for a living. For the rest of my life I'll be able to tell anyone who asks how long a Redwood lives. So informative.


Hanson: Terrorizing Pigeons Since 1997 (and probably long before that, but there's no video evidence to prove it)


Ike's Feet! Woot!


"Hi! Welcome to 'Hanson Does Stupid Stuff on Video'."


Zac's just like... "I'm awesome without trying".


The stress of fame finally starts to show. Or maybe it's jet lag.


I hope no one had their heart set on parking at the mall that day.


Tay manages to squeeze in a little schmoozing while sampling local cuisine (which he probably got for free via sweet talking, because he's Tay and he could sweet talk Britney into putting her panties back on if he tried).


Ike tries to remember what chord comes next: Old Lady or Bear Claw.


Tay is so beloved that random gifts often simply float down from the heavens (or from out in the audience).


Zac gets a kick out of Ike's "shuffle" dance across the stage (that's actually probably not what he's smiling at, but I'm gonna pretend it is).


"People ask us if we fight, if we get along, you know, if we're good friends and stuff like that, you know, 'cos most brothers... fight."


"Come here. I wanna show you something!"


Next up: The Road to Albertane. Unfortunately, the VCD wasn't as high quality as the TTAMON DVD, so the caps aren't as big or as clear. As with the TTAMON caps, some are better than others and if there's a moment not capped, it's probably for the exact same reasons.



Another cheap and cheerful opening sequence. ;)


Albertane Tour '98. Hell Yeah. I shook my tail feather.


Heeeeeeee! The braids make a comeback!


Tay's famous Hanson ring.


Please tell me those aren't the same yellow Docs he bought in London a year earlier. If they are, I don't wanna think about what he put them through to make them look like that.


Honestly? The only part of the acoustic set I remember clearly from the show I went to is "More Than Anything". :$ (Gimme a break! It was almost a decade ago!)


Tay and Puff Broccoli battle it out for the spotlight.


Sharing is love.


"I want to do gardening!"


Two Tays for the price of one.


"And then your dog comes in and he licks you and he goes 'I love you!'" *kisskisskisskisskiss*


When one Hanson just isn't enough...


Ike's back in black and white!


Already hard at work on the next album even in the middle of a tour.


It kinda seems almost wrong that he would be smiling during "With You In Your Dreams", but it's still frickin' adorable.


Matt does as he's told and pays attention while Ike and Tay dither over the setlist.


Zac seems completely bemused by whatever it is Tay is doing.


I'm almost sure I used to know if GreenJello had any significance in the Hanson community, but 9 years later I can't remember if it was one person, a group or something else entirely.
But now I'm hungry from thinking about Jello. Darn.


Storytime with Ike.


"I'm Austin Puff Powers, man! Yeah!" "Ike, get over the Puff thing."


Tay plays so fast his hands are a blur! ;)


"Yeah! In the Bus!"


No one in the audience can really see poor little Zac, stashed away behind that big ol' drum kit at the back of the stage, but luckily the camera is always there to keep him company.


"See what happens when you get on tour? You find out all kinds of things you never knew."


I thought Zac's glowing drum sticks were kick ass. My brother is a drummer and he wanted a pair too. hehe.


It's the famous end of show bow. Awesomeness.


"Dude! What do you mean people are gonna be posting pictures of me all over the internet for the duration of my childhood?!"

Thanks for the memories! I love those pictures, and thanks so much for capping each one! I know how hard it is to cap an entire video, then resize and do all that other crap. Good work!

Not at all. :) You can use any of them for anything you want, that's what I made them for. :) I thought maybe they could be iconed or fanarted (is that a word?) or something.

Glad you liked them and thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it.

hahaha.. i actually just watched both TTMON and Live from Albertane the other day..

and you said the only thing you remember from the acoustic set was " More Than Anything".. i remember that one.. and "With You In Your Dreams".. and thats it.. the only reason i remember "With You In Your Dreams" is because i cried during that song.. lol..

its kind of scary when i can tell you what part of the tape each pic is from.. lol.. i still have both those things memorized in my head from watching them so much ten years ago..

I'm not a Hanson fan, but my sister loved them back in the day. Of course, now we're related to them. Through marriage but still related. My aunt's cousin or something married their uncle or something, I don't know the details. It's possible I'm related to Alan Tudyk as well through marriage. My mom has a whole mess of family down in Texas with the Tudyk last name. Which would mean I would have to give up my crush on him, I think.

LOL. That's funny. I don't think I'm related to anyone famous, even distantly and through marriage.

The closest I think I come is... one of my husband's old friends in San Francisco is Courtney Love's cousin. Not something to brag about. lol

Wow. Memories. I just remember Green Jello making a name for themselves as a group that went from concert to concert. I think it was kind of an east coast/west coast thing since I believe there were the Red Jellybeans floating around somewhere.

It's really, really sad that I remember that.
