This question has probably been asked before on this site but does anyone have any footage of the December '88 G-Mex gig. I don't care how off my face I was I seem to recall that there was definately a camera on stage during the performance. Maybe it was filmed for personal viewing only?
It was a very special night so any positive feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers.
'This song is dedicated to the next generation of Blackburn Youth' - Hooky. Blackburn King Georges Hall. Feb. '85.
I don't think so although someone on here will tell you if I'm wrong
Cameras are often present at New order gigs - there were a few at the gigs this year but so far the band haven't said whether footage will be released.
Welcome Al, never seen or heard of any footage from this one. Can't remember now whether it was just the one camera or two - if it was just the one then it probably was just for their own benefit, or some half-arsed Wilson idea.
There was definately a cameraman on stage and I'm sure there was also a 'boom' type rig above the stage.
The stage cam was also used whilst ACR and Happy Mondays performed so yeah, maybe it was a Wilson/ Factory thing.
P.S. Did anyone find a right foot, blue Adidas Gazelle after that show? Lost during Touched by the Hand of God. Left shoe waiting to be reunited!
Cheers.
There's a bootleg shot from the back right of the venue. Looks like someone's at a rave, dancing with the camera as they film. Fcuk knows about footage from the stage though.
A bootleg exists - cos I have it, I think Shakin' Stevens shot the footage
Never heard of an official/semi-official copy floating about though.
I don't remember seeing any cameras. I'm from Blackburn & that day we asked him to dedicate a song to us !!!
So gutted about missing that gig,couldn't get the mates to go seeing as we saw BRYAN FERRY there the week before on his "Bete Noire" Tour.Nowadays I'd just say Fuck Em and go anyway!
