I assume this is taken from the official DVD:

As it's now just over 32 years on, has it ever troubled anyone other than myself as to why this never got released either commercially or as a boot ? Judging by the quality of both the circulating DVD from the official release and the audio (I bought the LP in Our Price, High Street Kensington for a few farthings as a student) I'm amazed it hasn't seen the light of day and it would have made a fascinating snapshot of a band clearly in a state of transition from New Wave heroes to something altogether more profound.Setlists from around this time included many early versions of Get Happy songs and tracks like "Gangsters" and "He'll Have To Go". Now would seem a good time to add this little gem (possibly) to the canon of live concerts released over the last couple of years ( and maybe raise a bit of cash for a cause at the same time ?)

Thanks for the link. What a great performance of Little Sister by Rockpile with Robert Plant.

Thanks for this, didn't want to wreck my ratio on dime by downloading the whole performance. Incidentally, there's a nice clip if the end of Big Boys before YBTM begins !
