   Hello Everyone

   recently got the above DVD, I had it on VHS when it came out and I actually went to my first L42 show about 10 days after this video was shot. I remember it so well and it was amazing.

   I remember reading somewhere ( maybe here) that the video had a lot of post production on it and in some places it looks like Mark is miming. I don't remember it being like this when I was 14.

   Can anybody shed some light on how much of the show was live and what was done in order to produce the video?

   Thanks

   Andie

   As far as I know they had filmed bits from another night plus bits with just them (No crowd) to get the best camera angles/shots they could. The audio is all from the same night so playing wise it was all live. It was just mixed with different visuals. 5 songs were edited out of the show. Micro Kid/Physical Presence/I Want Eyes/Running In The Family & are you Hearing? Two of these PP & MK turned up as b-sides although they dubbed a new guitar solo onto Micro Kid which I assume is why it didn't make the video release. Just wish they would release the whole lot onto DVD/Blu-Ray

   They filmed over two nights, that's why you see Boon's sleeve rolling and unrolling itself through the video. It's quite funny. There's also a shot during Mark's bass solo, shooting over his shoulder into the crowd, and he's obviously not playing what you hear on the audio.
