Comments
This is about 20 mins of b/w footage shot at the Royal Festival
Hall by Anthony Stern (it sez so right there on the opening
slate). It seems that Stern was called earlier that day by
the band to shoot this amazing and unique performance. Unfortunately,
he didn't go through all the proper channels, and only got
permission from the RFH to shoot the rehearsals and only in
certain areas of the venue. This becomes apparent when the
venue's security "busts" him and orders him to turn over all
of his equipment. This all takes place while the camera is
still rolling, but with audio only! You can hear the escalating
dialogue between Anthony and security/management as he pleads
his case. Too bad he didn't go through the proper channels
and pay for the rights to film the actual show, as he was
evidently prepared to do, but at least we have this incredible
rehearsal footage to marvel at. That's the story I heard and
this is how I pieced this thing together. Maybe a phone call
to Mr. Stern would clear things up. I'll get back with an
update if he does. There is also current speculation that
the actual performance was filmed as well (quoted recently
by Roger Waters).
A BIG thanks to Simon, who turned this footage over to me
recently. It seems that the last bit (Rick playing the final
part of ASoS of the huge house pipe organ) was outta synch,
but I was able to fix that properly. Other songs include Biding
My Time (with Rick briefly on trombone), Green is the Color,
Cymbaline, and ASoS... all incomplete but still wonderful
to watch!
