Hi Andy,
There was quite a few good ol' regulars in the crowd at Bedouin then!
Adrian Parr was ther too, as were Colin Wilson/Stuart Barton from "Anomie".
Doug and Eve Smith were there too, and John Chase was taking photos! (John does
a lot of HW photography for covers etc. - he even designed the cover for
Business Trip)
I eventually got permission from the manager to video the performance, (they
were a bit pissed off letting me do it, as they have their own in-house video
facility, which can be hired for some extortionate fee!), and I suspect that
that was the reason why the lighting was total crap during the set.
Low-intensity red lights come out terrible on video, and "bleed" all over your
telly! (Just look at the Chaos Vid!) The in-house video operator also being
responsible for the lighting, was probably making sure that most of my film was
un-watchable! (Not true though - to his detriment - ha!)
Anyhow, having finally packed my gear away, Adrian and I attmpted to find a
cab back to Kingston, but luckily found the last train to Richmond, running
about a half hour late - to our benefit!)
Even though the video is really quite good (except for the middle 15 minutes -
when there is no lighting) I'm not really in a position to copy it. - moral
obligation etc., but maybe if enough people ask Alan..............!!!
