Montreal PAL 39 mins
Live - University De Montreal CEPSUM 25/11/80 39m VG Private
Private film, shot from the crowd left hand side. Mainly clear views and good close ups. BUT ... this is a fairly high generation copy, so the picture is washed out and pixelated, and the sound is very muddy. The original would have been fairly watchable, especially if you could dub on better audio. But this copy is for collectors only

Good private DV film. This is a 3 camera mix. Angle 1 - from right side of stage, clear view, whole stage shot. Angle 2 - front center, clear view, whole stage shot. Angle 3 - big screen, slightly angled view. Despite having 3 cameras there are still 3 songs where there is no video a lot of the time, and still pictures are shown
