Notes - by Taper. 2006:
until recently, i never
torrented or released copies from my master to anyone, EXCEPT 2 video copies
to 2 people about 8 years ago, and they promised not to distribute it..hehe...guess
the fuckers did and it's made it's way around the world ey? You learn
something new everyday... oh well, if you want to see a nice clean copy of
it, i've got the cleanest and best sounding I've also got NIN, FNM,
Primus and others from the same day. The reason it's filmed from so
far back is because it was pissing down rain the entire day, and that was
the only place to film undercover- from the left or right stands way at the
back...There was no undercover seating behind the pit/directly in front of
the stage, just a big ass merchandise booth! It was an all GA event,
so you could sit/stand anywhere you wanted, but i didn't want my 8mm cam to
get fucked up by the rain, hehe. The security was so lax that if itwas a dry
day, i could have filmed from anywhere, probably even on topof the merch
stand!. Bummer. That festival was a commercial disaster. They expected
around 50-80,000 people, only 5-6,000 turned up. Bunch of fat old men trying
to take some power away from the BDO festival, but they failed miserably.
The main reason it failed was that the organizers got in bed with a very,
very commercial radio station, 3MMM, with whom they had contacts, to promote
it. The problem was, being a top 40 station, they didn't actually play ANY
music by ANY of the bands involved, even in the weeks leading up to the
Festival, for fear of losing trendy advertisers! Unlike the BDO which is
promoted by a grungy, youth indie station, 3RRR. Putting on shows
during the wet season, as opposed to the BDO in the middle of summer was
also not a good idea. A bill like that and it was still a failure! If you
want anymore info, let me know...
My lens
got fogged up a little on the right hand side towards the end of the show,
which you've probably noticed on the shitty versions, which mixed with the
fog and rain doesn't make for the clearest of shots but i guarantee you it's
1,000 times better than that god awful version that's floating around!...
You'll especially enjoy the better sound. I'm surprised how clear itis being
over 10 years old. If only i could get my bloody DV cam to record sound that
well without any external mic's ey?
Notes - 2006:
The differences between the
non-master source & the, as I had assumed, "as low gen as possible VHS>DVD
transfer of this show is striking. The sound is good, for one, better than
you would think. The video is still shot from the great distance as it was
however, in contrast to the "non-master" transfers going around the
difference is night & day. This is a definite upgrade to a definitive
recording - still, the only source for this show to ever surface in reality
or rumor. Excellent job to the filmer.
Notes - 2006:
You will see many collectors with 2 versions or sources of this recording in
audio CD form - watch out as there is only one video source! But different
folks at different times put this to CD... just a note. Also, this recording
is commonly referred to as taken place at the "Festival Grounds" but that is
incorrect.
Notes - 2000:
The video is filmed from very, I mean very far away. At least an American football distance.
Surprisingly, the sound is good although a little layer of tape hiss is noticeable. The taper is far back in the stands but this is no ordinary distance you may normal think of. The angle of the camera lens is about
60* & at the closest close-up, the band look like ants. The sound is very similar to that, if you can imagine. Not very good...all in all, best left for
collectors. It is interesting
that at this show, there was sort of a ring of people around the stage but
yet stadium seating which looked to be semi-filled. Makes me wonder as to
what the hell the promoters were thinking as, man, what a bad seat. As such,
this recording has been out for a long time but not a whole lot of people
seem to talk about this as it is unlikely this is on anyone's constant
rotation. Many copies have bad transitions, are higher generation and were
sourced from PAL originally. All the cloning & conversion takes it's toll on
a recording.

"This is Easter I think, isn't it? So, this that day they nail that meat to a stick or is that another day? I don't know, decent meals are a hard thing to find on a day like this. That shit. We're going to get some Chinese food later, yeah, believe that shit. This is a love song, it's called Prison Sex"
