If I buy a video that's unavailable here in the States ("Pumped Full of Drugs", etc) whilst visiting London, will that video play on my US made vcr? Also, the 316 dvd isn't compatible for the States, so I shouldn't get my hopes up with that either, right? Any recommendations on must-see record stores?

As a follow-up to another topic, I did read where the show will start at 1pm and end at 10 pm. Also read that Arthur Baker was on the bill. Maybe he'll get on stage with NO and perform the "classic" version of "Confusion"...

Joe,

Both VHS and DVD will not work for you as the American video standard is NTSC and the English one is PAL. When I went to England last year I've bought a "Crystal" DVD that is useless for me. :(

Must-see record stores? Try Berwick Street, Soho. :)

The best thing to do for DVD is to get it restricted so you can see 316. Well worth it I understand and cheap.
