Ahhhhh happy days. smile

This used to do the rounds in the late 90's when we sent them out to people as video tapes. This one was on a three hour tape with the full show after it. Even the soundcheck was filmed for about 30 mins.

So you've still got this somewhere?? eek

'We' meaning Foxxheads? Or who??
Was this once then in bootleg circulation?

Forgive me, but as an archivist I'm curious about sources of both info and material.

Can you email me/post more details about this?
Thanks.

Oh yes i know Martin.

The thing about youtube, i that people who still have loads of vhs tapes, only upload a few tracks from what in the good old days, was sent to us as full shows. So youtube is in many ways just a sample of whats around.

Will do.
