DAS FEST - KARLSRHUE, GERMANY
THE GERMAN MARKET HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO BIG COUNTRY SINCE THE EARLY TO MID EIGHTIES. THERE ARE MANY LOYAL FANS THERE AND THIS VIDEO IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE MANY JOYOUS OCCASIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE OVER THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES. THIS ONE IS A SATURDAY EVENING AT A FESTIVAL IN KARLSRHUE. AS THE BAND TAKE TO THE STAGE, THE HEAVENS OPENED AND STAGE ROOFING AND BACKDROPS WERE NEARLY LOST TO A SUDDEN GALE. IT WAS THE HEIGHT OF SUMMER SO NO-ONE CARED WHEN THE WIND SUBSIDED BUT THE RAIN DIDN'T. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH RAIN FALL DURING A CONCERT. THERE WERE SEVERAL INCHES BYT THE TIME IT FINISHED. THE FANS DID NOT CARE. THEY DANCED AND HOLLORED, POGOED AND SURFER IN IT FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR AS NIGHT DESCENDED AND THE STAGE LIGHTING MADE RAINBOW COLOURS THROUGH THE RAIN EVEN MORE SPECTACULAR. THE BAND WERE SOAKED TOO. A SPECIAL NIGHT THAT WAS CAPTURED BY SDR TELEVISION. A BIG THANK TO ALL THEIR CREW WHO TOOK PART. THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN EDITED FOR TELEVISION AND THE SOUND IS AS WAS, ON THE NIGHT. NO TINKERING AFTERWARDS IN ANYWAY OR THAN AN IN HOUSE MIX WITH NO PRESENCE OF ANY BAND MEMBER. SOME OF THE CREDITS ARE A LITTLE INCORRECT (AS PER THE BRACKETED TITLES BELOW) BUT WE'LL FORGIVE SDR FOR THAT AS THE PROGRAMME OVERALL IS EXCELLENT. THE BAND AND I HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE FOOTAGE AND SOUND (OUTSIDE GERMANY) SO ON GOING THROUGH THE OFFICE VAULTS AND DISCOVERING THIS, WE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE. WE HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

Released 1995, clear plastic VHS case without pins, single-sided colour cover.
 
Wolfsburg - Special Guest to the Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour August 1995.
In the biggest car park that Volkswagen could muster, filmed on the grandest stage set???????.. ever, this is rock n roll. Opening for the Rolling Stones is a dream to anybody who straps on a guitar. To play in front of 110,000 + people, under a mungus fire breathing snake, in deepest Germany, is totally cool.
 
I'd like to think that the people who were there at the back would really enjoy this vid because the band were brill, but unfortunately, not shown on the big screen. There is no way they could have seen us.
 
Wearing blasphemous anti French President anti Nuke T shirts (he did as well didn't he) in the Voodoo Lounge (much respect Joe), and being wined and dined by those lovely people at VW (I'm still waiting for my free RS mod Beetle Mr President), we had a ball.

Aah memories!
