Yes it is a good doco. Got 2 questions about the last song. This is where the Warumpi band is playing BFWF and MO join them on stage and then the Warumpi’s slowly disappear and MO gets straight into the Dead Heart. Classic clip and very symbolic of the whole BFWF tour.
1. Which town were they in when this was filmed?
2. Has anyone got a copy without the credits rolling over the screen towards the end? This kills the moment for me. I have googled “How to remove rolling credits” and it says it can’t be done. I realise there is a similar version on the official BFWF VHS tape but this version cuts in and out showing Aboriginal Art and scenes in and around Ularu. This is a nice version but not what I want. I want the Big Country version start to finish, no credits. I know I am possibly in my own “Dreamworld” but I thought I would ask.
Ta,

I can still remember watching this on TV at the time, and hearing some of the new songs for the first time.
It’s not the same as the released video of the BFWF tour either, so if you’ve not watched it because of that then check it out.
