This has to be the most circulated video that Island ever shot. It traveled around the world many times, long before the internet.
30 years ago this year, I was at Peter Gabriel at the Greek Theater Los Angeles, and met this guy videotaping. He told me he taped parts of both nights at the Greek in Berkeley a few nights before. And was taping the first night in L.A. from up front, when he got caught and they took his tape! It also had footage from Berkeley on it! I told him I would see what I could do. I called the Greek management and apologized for his not having a pass, and reminded them they had no right to keep the Berkeley footage, (true or not) and asked for the tape back after we erase the L.A. Greek footage. They said OK. I brought his VHS-C deck to the Greek and sat there for 5 minutes as we erased... "Across the River" and a minute of "I have the Touch"... from 1983-08-16 Greek L.A.But saved more close footage not included here. And saved "Humdrum", "D.I.Y". and clips of "Lay your hands" and "fishing net" from Berkeley, included here.
This is from a PAL transfer P.GAB.-Berkeley83v.2-RPdvd06 Thanks to RP.
I will make a better and complete update when I have the best transfer possible.
There is almost 2 hours of footage, close and far shot.
It will be nice to see this on here with some correction for the shaky camera.
