Footage of 97 Grand Illusion tour?

Postby Toph » Thu Jun 03, 2010 1:09 pm

Any footage exist of the Grand Illusion tour? I'm specifically looking for the intro - you had the Paradise janitor start sweeping up and then the Grand Illusion lady appears on the screen as says that "you had your fun last year...now its my turn..." and then the band appears in a Doug Henning like magic act from out of boxes on the stage at the beginning of the kickoff song "The Grand Illusion". I've searched you tube and can't seem to find. Anyone know/seen this footage?

if it's just an audio cd, i'm pretty sure i have it.

there are a lot of bootlegs floating around, both audio and video. check tapetrader.com i prob have 20 or 30 shows on dvd, maybe one day i'll get around to compiling an entire list. in addition to the radio city show froy mentioned, i have the jones beach show from 97. i can see myself in the audience (front row) in that one ;)

I have no preference; I would take CD or DVD or both :) . That set list is phenomenal. They need to bring one like that back. Maybe substitute the Brave New World songs for Cyclorama songs. Anyway, make this thing appear!

Thanks! That would be awesome!!! Would love to see some of that show again. I thought it was as good if not better than the 96 tour.
