HOW IS IT?
...The US festival footage is professionally shot and easy to watch...There is a little high end tape noise, but it is not too bothersome...Band performs well- a bunch of musos, really. They jam a bit during US Drag and its obvious they're far more skilled than the pop songs they're trying to hit with. I nodded off once or twice, so if the above tracklist is wrong, email me with the details..
The first three videos look and sound excellent, but the audio quality drops dramatically on the last two...
the "windows" is a lip synch...
There is footage in the MTV interview from their first video, but that is not found on this disc...
The US Festival 83, despite attracting 670,000 people, lost money for the people who put it on. I get the impression that people have finally discovered how to orchestrate financially successful festivals. More than a decade seemed to go by in the United States without much in the way of music festivals and now there's a couple well established multiday events. 670,000! That staggering number got me thinking about record attendances in general...Apparently there is
1 Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach - 3.5 million people December 31st, 1994
2 New York Philharmonic in Central Park - 800,000 people July 5th, 1986
3 Garth Brooks in Central Park - 750,000 people August 7th, 1997
4 US Festival - 670,000 people
(how close can 3.5 million people actually physically get to a single stage? The Stones did a show which was TV broadcast at this venue 2/18/06...I'd be interested in seeing the layout)
The US festivals inspire some nostalgia these days. They have a fairly pleasant website commemorating the event and I believe that VH1 recently broadcast some of the material. I imagine that every moment of every performance was preserved by the MTV cameras, but I could be wrong about that. 26 years later, at least 20 full performances are available for trading. I know this because some industrious bootlegger has linked

That little sermon complete, I'll mention the eyesore adverts served into this page. All I need is another ten thousand people to read this blog before I can earn $100 dollars! Hopefully, all the celebrity misfortune legions will find their way to my timely Dale Bozzio reference in search of lurid dead animal indignities. If only I had some bootleg Michael Jackson concert to ramble on about!
