00:00 - Load-in/Sound Check
11:41 - Show begins
32:36 - I take-over camera

This video has an interesting story: Silverchair was playing a "secret" show at the Troubadour - a club much too small for their popularity at the time. The floor was packed so I went upstairs to the bleachers, where I saw the guy in front of me shooting video.

But after a few songs, he put the camera down! I couldn't stand the idea of an idle camera at a Silverchair show, so I asked him if I could take over, and he agreed. I "almost" caught the beginning of "Tomorrow," as you'll see at 32:36 into the video.

But that was the easy part! It turned out the original taper, Pete Walton (who got access because he was managing the band's website) was from out-of-town, and I had to convince him to let me borrow the tape overnight - and his camera - so I could make a Super-VHS copy

SO much thanks to Pete, and also to Jarod Frank for filling in some details of this story. Jarod has more great rock videos on his YouTube page, which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/budnickto/videos
