I know I have this on video on one of my Oils compilation video tapes. Don't
know if I could find it but know I've watched it many times before. It is a
very cool setting on the cliff over the ocean, NEAT!

Also someone asked about the Capitol Theater footage, this was broadcast on
TV and on FM many times. I know a lot of Powderworkers that have the
broadcast version. The Westwood One broadcast outside of Australia had some
different songs on it too.
