Thanks for Brendan Clutton for spotting these.
Great. Thanks for putting it on!
(Love the bit where a shy young DC gets his hand taken away from the front of his mouth while speaking so his words can be heard…)

May 4th, 2007 at 12:37Excellent…Are these available commercially does anyone know? It would be nice to own full res versions on DVD!!
May 18th, 2007 at 08:16Have y’all noticed Ritchie slipping a bit of Hey Joe during his trademark eastern-flavoured solo in Space truckin’?
Nice touch.
May 29th, 2007 at 15:30Does anyone know the dates of the live footage? I know that some of it was shot in London, but which tracks?
