Yeah, thanks for posting C3M - always good to see more CH live clips!

Never heard the Enz song 'Sweet Dreams' before.......found the promo clip here :-

As much as there's no point in speculating about these things... those four people playing there, that's the band that should have taken over the world. Really it is.

I was wondering where "Sweet Dreams" came from that song goes way back to early 70s ENZ. I like both versions of it, great song.

How funny is the German-accented "Happy Birthday" for Nick?

It's a strong accent isn't it. I listened to it on the ipod and thought there might have been one or two English/American/Aussie/NZ voices in the crowd but everyone sounds local.

Thanks for the concert footage buddy.Unfortunatley I downloaded it on real player - and when i burned it on to a dvd it came out really bottom ended and a bit distorted

still well worth having - thanks again.

The original broadcast had a very heavy bass sound for some reason. Live recordings are usually more trebley so I kind of like the dynamic bass on this show. There is a chance of distortion with this show it all depends on what you play it on. When I play it on an old Panasonic TV we have the built-in speakers vibrate like crazy it can't handle the powerful bass sound. However it sounds perfect on the newer Sony TV we have because of the better quality speakers on it. So best to try it on something else or put the sound through a Hi-Fi system.

Does anyone know what the lyrics are Neil sings at the beginning of this version of When you come and where they come from?

Its bugged me for years...

KF, here's that previous thread:

Lovely to hear 'Walking on the Spot'. I'd heard that Neil had written it years before the Together Alone sessions but it had taken a long time to get right. And to cut a long story short, the version on this tour (which it seems like they weren't going to play) seems to show exactly why. The rhythm is clearly a delicate thing, and they seemed to wander in and out of it as they tried to find the groove. Thanks goodness for the version on the album, which I adore, and I'd love to hear it live once they'd practised it.

What a treat this footage is
Great singalongs and so cool to see Sweet Dreams

Blimey Romer - that was a blast from the past find!!!!
