I wish I could volunteer to tape this but I only have one video player. Does
any kind soul in the UK/Australia have a good copy? I will trade for CD-R
bootlegs (if of course I have any that you need).

In case any of you UK Powderworkers are also fans of The Church - be aware
that they are playing in Camden on 22 and 23rd of Feb and Leeds on the 21st.
And if you are not fans yet then I suggest you check them out. They have
great guitar interplay like the Oils...although their music is not quite as
heavy and certainly not as political...more spiritual. But if you like the
Oils becauase they don't sing love songs all the time you will like this
great band.

Many thanks.
