As I look closer at the exterior of the building that Front 242 is climbing the exterior fire escape, in addition to the inside shots of Richard tumbling down the stairs, I may have to correct myself an say that this video may have been shot at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago rather than at Medusa's. Not positive though.
In addition, the show in Chicago was almost called off due to the issuing of temporary visas to the members of Front 242. I don't recall how it was worked out that they made it into the USA, but what a fucking great show. No opening act, just a DJ spinning some classic industrial. Front 242 took to the stage in full riot gear wearing miner's / welder's helmets with handheld high power lights that burned your retinas. Fucking impressive Cold War-esque entrance. Crowd went ballistic.
I think that this video may have been shot at Medusa (a.k.a. "Medusa's") in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. back in 1987 (quite possibly on their only North American stop on the Official Warfare Tour). Looks like this was possibly shot just prior to, or after the October 10th, 1987 show at the Cabaret Metro. I've got an inkling that the guys from Wax Trax! Records shot this for them (or collaborated with them on it).
Wow one of my favorite songs ever.. no doubt this is the pretty basic but creative principles of the new techno stress era. first is the idea later the production. Thanx .... and by the way was 1987
