A bit thanks to Simon & Ron for getting this out to us !


Notes that came with this recording:

This is about 20 mins of b/w footage shot at the Royal Festival Hall 
by Anthony Stern (it sez so right there on the opening slate). It seems 
that Stern was called earlier that day by the band to shoot this amazing 
and unique performance. Unfortunately, he didn't go through all the 
proper channels, and only got permission from the RFH to shoot the 
rehearsals and only in certain areas of the venue. This becomes apparent 
when the venue's security "busts" him and orders him to turn over all 
of his equipment. This all takes place while the camera is still rolling, 
but with audio only! You can hear the escalating dialogue between 
Anthony and security/management as he pleads his case. Too bad he 
didn't go through the proper channels and pay for the rights to film 
the actual show, as he was evidently prepared to do, but at least we 
have this incredible rehearsal footage to marvel at. That's the story I 
heard and this is how I pieced this thing together. Maybe a phone call 
to Mr. Stern would clear things up. I'll get back with an update if he 
does. There is also current speculation that the actual performance 
was filmed as well (quoted recently by Roger Waters). 

A BIG thanks to Simon, who turned this footage over to me recently. 
It seems that the last bit (Rick playing the final part of ASoS of the 
huge house pipe organ) was outta synch, but I was able to fix that 
properly. Other songs include Biding My Time (with Rick briefly on 
trombone), Green is the Color, Cymbaline, and ASoS... all incomplete 
but still wonderful to watch! 

Cheers!
