Filmed from miles away, but still pretty good picture considering. Slighty out of sync.
Taper's notes:
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?
