That's the one, Todd.
Pete was wearing the plaid shirt / lumberjacket because it was freezing - my wife was there & she reckons (from a VERY shaky memory) that they played very early on the monday morning, before Split Enz (who DEFINITELY came off second best!)... and she vividly recalls Pete's steaming head as he charged around the stage (her quote... "f#cking, F#CKING cold!). There were bonfires all over the place (mostly started by the bikies) with people struggling to keep warm & there were film crews about for just about every band, that weekend.
As for the footage? The original production company would have held onto the negatives and raw footage. Oils would have undoubtably gotten copies to use/work with (esp. since some turns up in the 'Sometimes' clip, 10 years later - it's not the original Sometimes clip - but from the SIB promo video, I think). Film companies (and their footage) come & go but at least the oils seem to have access to some of it, in their archives.
In 2005 a fellow by the nom-de-plume 'Golfer' listed that he had a "direct from the desk cassette recording" of most of the bands playing that weekend. MrNoisy valiantly tried to track them down but it looks like there was no result.
Funnily enough, to my knowledge, none of the other performances has leaked out, yet, either (that's in 27 years!! - the anniversary's coming up in 2 weeks).
The way things are going, in the music industry... we'll probably have to outlive all the band members before any remaining music is released/accessed. Now THERE's a dire thought!
I also think think there were stills included, from Tanelorn, in the original Oils song/tabs book (that's from MY shaky memory).
btw:
Among the 22 bands, that weekend (I can't be bothered dragging out the info on the rest, at the moment):
Split Enz
Rodriguez (conjecture whether he played or cancelled. One report that he played on the Friday night, another that he played before Midnight Oil!).
Billy Thorpe
Max Merritt
Broderick Smith & his Big Combo (coincidentally, playing with Rob & Dom in The Backsliders, now)
Midnight Oil
Kevin Borich
Mi-Sex
Swanee
Men At Work
Bushwackers
The Church
Red Gum (sic)
No Fixed Address
Spyz
Gold Rush (sic)
Earth Star
Pink Flamingos
also... :
Sunnyboys (I saw the drummer's copy of their filmed performance, years ago. It looked sensational!!!)
Matt Finish
Moving Pictures
also btw - The Sea Eagles vs the Sharks in the Grand Final!! :)
tha-tha-tha- tha's all, folks!

I think the footage he's referring to is the footage with Peter with a plaid shirt on and his head steaming like crazy?? At least that is what I've always associated with the Tanelhorn gig.

Good info.
How do you know this footage is of this mysterious Tannerlorn gig ?
I am trying to think back to some alt Sometimes clip but am not coming up
with anything from my grey matter. Anyone else recall this footage Adrian
refers too ?

I seem to remember there was a live composite film clip for Sometimes
that was released around the time of Scream In Blue that contained
footage from the Tannerlorn show. I can't confirm for sure because
the clip on 20000w RSL is different, I don't seem to have converted it
from my old VHSs and after a quick check, its not on youtube. I'm
positive there is Tannerlorn footage in there though which would lead
one to believe it was, at least in part, filmed. All the other
footage from the live Sometimes clip is the usual stuff, Capitol,
Exxon etc that we all know.
Can anyone shed any more light?
Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this post, but I thought it was sort of
relevant and worth asking.
