MTV/VH-1 snaked the soundstage footage for their on-air rotation (back when they played music videos 24/7)
And, again, I'm in the audience of the UC Santa Barbara show, about 15 yards from the stage, straight back from Chris' keyboard set up.
The opening acts that day were Small Wonder (a short-lived band from Canada who were playing their one & only US gig that day...5 years later while touring Canada, my band had the unbelievable opportunity to open for Burton Cummings...whose keyboard player, Jimmy Phillips, had been Small Wonder's keyboard player.) and UFO (whose guitarist, Michael Schenker left UFO just a couple of shows later).
