I just don't see the missing sound being a gigantic issue. The reason 
we want video is so that we can *see* the band. Look at the TotP "Silver
Machine" video. It's just footage from 1972 with the single played over
it. If we can enjoy that then we can certainly enjoy video of a whole
Space Ritual concert. 

For sound, we have Space Ritual, Space Ritual II, and the two Brian
Matthews tracks, as well as whatever Dave has tucked away in the attic.
Sure, it'd take a largish number of man-hours to match sound to video if
some clever editing were to be done. On the other hand, the work can now
be done on any average gaming PC. A simple way to get it done would be
for the band to farm a track each out to any of us who volunteer. It
might not be perfect, but it would certainly be better than the blank
screen we currently have.
