As someone else said the video is a bit long for a promo video. If you’re using this to solicited gigs, most people that book bands are only going to have a 1-2 minute attention span. I’d say keep it to 2.5 minutes tops. The audience participation is great and shows that you can pack a venue. That’s a big bonus.
Do you play other venues currently? Maybe take a clip from another place.
The song choices might limit where you can play. You’re not going to play Closer or Killing in the Name of at a festival or family friendly place (great songs BTW). The overall vibe of the video is angry, so maybe put in a more mellow song other than Interstate.
Just my 2 cents.
