I've watched that thing twice. Pretty dull alright. I watch my Galaxie 500 DVD more often and that's like watching grass grow.

They should have got Hamish Hamilton in to direct it.

A friend gave me the DVD for xmas a few years ago. Having not seen it, I was delighted.
Later in the evening somebody suggested watching it. I was morto, sitting in a
room full of not quite Bunnymen fans as a weird silence descended.

Yeah that DVD prematurely ended a party at my place once. I'n now a social pariah.

LIPA looked like it was shot and edited by people who had no clue what they were doing. I remember a lot of stagnant camera angles and very long or wide shots - worse than a film student's attempt at their first student film.

I remember reading that overdubs were done for the track Ocean Rain (due to "technical difficulties") but not the entire performance, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that all the songs were overdubbed.

The Live at Shepherd's Bush dvd was so much better. Interestingly, that's the one the band disowned. Hmmmmm.....
