What a great recording. Haven't seen nearly enough footage Mike Scott and the boys during this, their "big music" exploration, and in such clarity. The sound, filming, and editing are all nicely executed, giving off a true sense of what they were like during that early time. This footage was taken after the his first two albums were released, just prior to the "This Is The Sea" album. I love Mike Scott's inspired performance, he is all there, and there's no holding back. Lovely...

Judging by appearances and members of the band present, I'd say it's 83-84

Love how he changes the lyrics in the live version! It's incredible! Where'd this suddenly appear from! :D
