Taken from contemporaneous notes: Film of gig at Surbiton Assembly Rooms 18th April 1985 Filmed on two u-matic cameras. One static on tripod by mixing desk in middle back of hall. Second - roving at front of stage and at side of stage. Sound recorded on stereo Nagra. One channel line out from foldback mix on mixer. Two channel through Sennheiser mic at back of hall. |
|
Concert lasted roughly 1 hour 20 mins with encores.
Sound synched to pictures. Digital delay used to get two tracks of Nagra
in sync and actual picture sync done manually with varispeed controller
due to problems with autosync!
