Are the TV versions from different cams?

Pretty sure it's all from the same 1983 edit, including the DVD.

Or were there any different angles, besides in the intro (and obviously the songs that weren't included)?

This is wonderful footage. Thanks for sharing, Kurgan.

Thank you very much.

thanks, Kurgan

Bow wow wow were definitely support that day.

really? - i don't think so.
we were there all day and all i remember were Teardrop Explodes, Heart & Joan Jett

i thought Bow Wow Wow were dumped earlier in the tour because of their "attitude" - sure there's an interview with Roger somewhere that appeared on an old "Tape Magazine" (SFX?) where he said something about their attitude being basically "if you don't like us then fuck you"...and he thought "well fuck them"

So whose version of I Love Candy is played in the footage? It sounds like Bow Wow Wow to me.

you do realise that "between acts" there's music played over the PA all day?

also - a quick check online and you'd have found out that BWW's last appearance on the tour was Leiden...where they got bottled off stage


listen to Brian's chat - you can hear three different tunes by three different bands...that alone should tell you it's the piped music played thru the pA and not any support band

Yes, that was part of my original question, if both I Love Candy and So What were played live or just over PA.

interview details [from 3:35]

Interviewer: How did you get on with Bow Wow Wow in Germany?
Roger: Oh, very well actually. I like Bow Wow Wow. I'm very disappointed with the way they went down with the audiences, because I think they're very original, I think the girl's very good, the bass player's good and the drummer's good as well.
Interviewer: But they got bottled off?
Roger: Yeah. I'm afraid they did. They didn't really (it's a common malaise these days) they didn't really give enough to the audience - you have to. The audience aren't there to see you jerk off on stage, they're there to be...they're the one who paid the money. They're there to be entertained in some way, and you've got to give a little bit, and you've bend a little bit and you've got to project yourself - especially in these large arenas. And these new groups; a lot of the new bands just sort of come on and do their thing and "hey man, if you don't like us then Fuck You!" and so, fuck them. They end up nowhere, which is a shame really - it's a stupid attitude.

Great quote. Great insight.

I've always loved Roger Taylor's unabashed honesty.
