Me too - but were any concerts recorded? I've already got the Berlin gig on dvd. The audience seem a little bit non-plussed to me.....

Heh heh- you should see the T.O.T.P audience when they did Shot By Both Sides. They look scared.

I haven't got that footage - I can barely remember it. Is that when Howard declined to do the whole popstar bit? Are there any techno wizards out there that can upload these videos onto the computer for download?

I'm exaggerating- the audience don't really look scared as you can only see their backs but they don't move around at-all. Sorry- no facility to load stuff onto this site. The DVD came from ebay- punk TOTP. Some good bands, some absolutely terrible.

In Simon Reynold's new book 'Rip it up and start again', he reckons that it was that one performance on Top of the Pops that pretty much finished Magazine's chances of ever being a chart band with hit records

I have a tape of Magazine live at the Fmaily Inn, Rydlamere, Sydney, Australia in the early 80's which is wonderful and taped direct from FM radio (2jjj). Came out to Australia just after Secondhand Daylight was released as I remember. Saw the gig at the Tivoli (Sydney again) - religious experience even though John McGeogh had just left. We even got to interview all of the band sans Howard on that one and only visit. How to upload for the download?

That punk TOTP dvd is currently £16 and climbing on Ebay.... I dipped out at £15!

Don't waste your money buying bootlegs of concerts - you can download them for free from http://www.punktorrents.com and burn them to DVD/VCD your self - buy the genuine articles though if it means royalty payments to the artists.....

Helen the punk TOTP had a buy now option so I got it for £9.99 with no bidding. It might appear there again.

Thanks for the advice. The seller is trying to sell it to me for £15 but I think I'll decline...

a post from under 'retail therapy' this site should be called.
