I used footage from this show to create music videos for the studio versions of "Affection," "Baseball," and "Lyra." Marty and I lived in the same apartment building at the time, which led to these collaborations. The footage was shot on two cheap mini DV camcorders that left a lot digital "noise" on the tape after more than 20 years. The audio on those tapes was unlistenable - the live sound overwhelmed the tiny camcorder mics completely and it was basically just a wall of distortion. Newly discovered in 2024 was that I had set up a Hi-8 camcorder on a tripod that night, a third camera. That tape held up nicely and contained the audio that you hear on this new edit.
