Gigs shot on film?

When you guys talking about Vienna and Frankfurt 82, do you mean they were shot with multiple cameras intended for release, Montreal style? Or just by one or two in the corner of the stage covering the whole band at once?
Thanks.

I originally thought that this was shot on film but it's actually video! (beginning at 0:55):

The South America '81 shows that were recorded for TV are in video: Buenos Aires is taped in PAL-N, São Paulo in PAL-M and Caracas in NTSC. There are some bits of the Mexican shows in film and video. Also there are some aerial views of the first Velez Sarsfield show that were filmed (some of these shots are in the intro for the broadcast of the second show).

Can anybody know how much of leiden 1986 was video recorded? What i know there was 3-4 cameras recording one vision but i dont think they record only one song. Plus rumours about soundboard recording i heard. Anyone know something?

- pittrek: I think you forgot Budapest 1986, which was definitely shot on film, with the filming done by the Hungarian state film company, Mafilm. Unfrotunately, the original, full film is now lost and all that remains is the final cut.

Great thread.

I'd like to add that the (disappointing) fact that the "Champions Shoot" concert was almost certainly not filmed.

We thought the b/w footage was from that night at the New London Theatre, but it's actually from Houston.

Have a look at this screenshot with Brian's 12 string at stage left. This is definitely Houston.

Oh, well that’s really disappointing. Again, they tricked us by using footage without the correct context...

Here's another with Brian's echoplex pedals.

And here's the lip on the stage that was part of their NOTW rig. There's no way that could've been in the setup at the New London Theatre, as the seats were very close to the stage.

10-6-77

No rototoms on Roger's kit.

Rototoms - part of his NOTW tour kit.

And a shot of the upper deck. This is an arena, not a small 1000 seater theatre.

100%, this footage is from Houston.

I don't think they even know the difference. The footage is silent, and has never been synced to the proper audio for them to know for sure - just like the Tokyo 75 footage that popped up a few years back. They just used bits that looked good, and put dialogue on top of them.

Fair enough, but then again some of the interview segments in the doc are in b/w, so they must have the audio for some of it. There's just so much misinformation and lack of communication I guess.

Also, check your email soon! ;)

You're right - maybe the b/w bits do have audio. Who knows.

I'm just going by what Rhys Thomas said a few years back - that there were all these fragmentary bits from Houston that didn't have audio.
