God I remember that day. Boiling hot! Does anyone recall the support act? There was some nutter there at the front who was there just for the support and was going crazy when they were on.

I had to walk the 5 miles home afterwards.

Fantastic memories and a amazing gig from a time when the minds ruled the world!..I was 20yrs old at the time and a few of us came over from north wales and made a weekend of it going out in skipton on the sat and watching the minds on the sunday..it was a red hot day we were all hungover and the security took our drinks off us on the way in!still what a fantastic day and weekend will never forget it.

Great footage!! I am from Yorkshire and saw this and the other Look North special on The Minds when they were originally shown in July 1989. Didn't get to Roundhay but went to Wembley Arena a few days later and this really wetted the appetite! Shame there is not more 89 footage, particularly around the outdoor shows. In my top 3 tours, with U2 ZooTV AND 360

WOW ! I have a lump in my throat watching this. Great memories. Probably the best open air gig i've seen. I miss days like these SO much !!

@kaniep2011 To this day All About Eve got the best reception I have ever seen for a support band . Really set it up for a blistering SM set. Brilliant day .
