[@philljp7531]

amazing show RIP Hamish. your were a cornerstone for me

[@toddsmith9357]

My favorite song for riding down the Parks Highway here in Fairbanks, Alaska. Love this 1989 version and sure miss Hamish.

Vehicle is a masterpiece. These guys were/are shamefully under recognized.

This was the time of the great reunion and the recording of "Vehicle" -- one of my favorite-ever records. I saw them live in London during this period (89/90). They played the classics, new stuff from Vehicle and also some tunes that would end up on the next LP "Modern Rock" and David Kilgour's "Here Come the Cars". Around that time Robert Scott and the Bats recorded "The Law of Things", another favorite and classic. Not being from NZ and having never even been, was amazed at the stuff coming out from that scene. Have been following The Clean and the Bats and all related offshoots ever since! Thanks for posting this brilliant clip!

For some reason purchased Vehicle by the Clean on cd in1990 on a whim....What a brilliant album.....

Tramways in Wellington was much smaller but we enjoyed dancing to The Clean with Chris Knox after his set.

Ive watched this dozens of times over the years, always hits home. ELECTRIC. MOTORING. What does he say at the end? "That's the short fucking version" in a northern Irish accent?!

[@ludiekmagick]

He says "lost a string, won't be a minute."

[@0909simple]

Most excellent. Just discovered Surf City, which made me think of this tune....

[@grand_arc3181]

Believe it or not, North Islanders - or even Christchurchians - a fair few of the best bands, including Luke Hurley, came from the forbidden south... Dunners, to be exact. Good onya. Here's to the 'Great Unwashed', including my stinking ars... self.

[@N0ISYLAND]

David and Hamish are both from Christchurch actually, but never let the truth get in the way of a Dunedin Sound myth! 🤣

[@N0ISYLAND]

Not HD, as it didn't exist back then. Pretty sure it was a Sony Video8 camera (analog, not digital) and it's either built-in camera mics with level turned down, or sometimes I would borrow two Nakamichi shotgun mics and point them into the PA, which would give a good sound. I don't have exact tech. info for you on this occasion.
