[ I was at the Aug. 4 1985 concert in Toronto. The whole thing was videotaped at the side of the stage by local radio station CFNY. They later played part of the audio of this tape on air. Peter Hook introduces Age of Consent by asking the crowd " Have any kids? No? Then fuck ya." He also says during the programmed intro to The Perfect Kiss "Saves use doing it I suppose." Thanks to James for his account of this concert! ]
Here's a clarification from Paul Boyd... (Thanks!)
[ With apologies to James, I am the person who videotaped the concert. I was permitted to with do so with permission of Rob Gretton and the band who furnished me with a stereo board feed. Previously, I also had done a stereo television simulcast with Durutti Column, another Factory artist here in Toronto. I was not affiliated with CFNY in any way. CFNY did indeed record the concert with a full 24 track analog audio recorder via mobile truck, and it was sent to the band to remix. It was remixed and edited ( the band did not want a live radio recording available of " As It Is When It Was " as the BROTHERHOOD album had not been released yet ) and the station aired it a number of times. The videotape that was made has since been remastered to digital dvd to preserve it. I own the copyright of that recording. Though there are no plans to release it commercially, Steve Morris told me after he'd viewed it the the band liked the recording much more than the Tokyo show "Pumped Full of Drugs". " We played better in Toronto and we liked the look of your video better, a bit darker looking ". ]
reading the gigography and found this...Does anyone have a soundboard copy of this show? Did the video ever surface? I tried to email this guy about two months ago and he hasn't responded yet.
