So glad someone video taped this show from '87, was so good! Great flashback! I remember recording this on a 90 min. TDK cassette tape with a hookup from the TV to the stereo! Funny thing is that some how I got the Split Enz live from '83 on the other side!
@jackrebel601 After CH got hot, around the time of this Daytona show, MTV started to play Split Enz live in Canada on some nights. Maybe that is the show on the back of your tape.
It was originally a Split Enz song released on their last proper studio album "See Ya Round." Written by Paul, I think, but sung by Neil. CH performed it a lot during this early period.
Words are insufficient to thank you for posting this show. A true classic for CH fans.
I believe this show was at the end of March '87, they had only been in the U.S. a few weeks in the north, and were clearly energized to play outdoors in Florida. I love the sense of abandon and the unscripted nature of the whole thing (Eddie Raynor has a can of budweiser with him, the roadies milling around on the stage).
RIP Paul Hester, it really doesn't get any better than this :-)
