Well I'd love to participate but it's not released in Australia until

King Harvest, was the footage you were referring to from the movie, ie
reconstruction of the performance or was it actual footage of the real
performance>
And Peter, I recently bought a CD copy of Before The Flood but there
were no liner notes - how do/did you source your info...I've got
Barney Hoskyns book as a constant source but it sounds like you know

I've been meaning to.....
Thanks
