Interesting to see the Rage logo after the title!

i think it's a great video for the time it was made.

@AussieRoadshow

Rage did that a few times during the 80s.... I recorded this around November (or December) of 1989.

An interesting way to tell someone to fuck off 2:14

@cockneyrebellion Buy their compilation Essential As Anything - the DVD features nearly all their videos and documentaries etc including interviews. A fantastic collection of songs and videos....

I could almost swear that the dancing chap in the light suit with the blonde hair at about 4'35" is Johnny Batchelor from Dropbears. And yes, proabably a Fairlight - it was new at the time and was developed locally in Sydney, so they might well have had access to one .. although I doubt they owned it - buying one cost the equivalent of a small Aussie house in those days
