Short clip of ATP live footage

[outhudd]

Blown away that this has surfaced.

In the interests of archiving, I wonder if bocpages could message him to ask for the original .MOV file or whatever it is straight from the SD card, instead of having Twitters reencoded version?

I asked him:

Good Lord, this is so surreal to see. No other way I can put it to words...

[Nottoolate]

Just by chance saw this on twitter today, then immediately came here. Was just talking to my partner the other day too about how crazy it is that there's no footage of them. Completely surreal

[Antares]

Was browsing through the forum and found this - looks like there may have been hint that this would surface in the recording itself!

At 3:45 on the bootleg of Boards of Canada- Echus Someone is herd saying "See that camcorder there? Tell him to switch it off." So it could possibly mean there is video footage of boc at ATP. I think allot of people would love to see the footage.

"Sorry, no. Only had a Fuji Finepix with a 32MB SD card. Did see a bloke standing a few metres away who was filming with a proper camcorder, though. Must be a tape gathering dust on a shelf somewhere."

This just doesn't compute to me. How does one have the werewithal to sneak a proper camcorder into a high security show, especially a Boards show - where they were already known to ban cameras and recording - record the show, and then either shelve, forget about, or record over the tape? I don't think there is an underground underground community sharing ultra-rare bootlegs of Boards shows - if they were out there Twoism would know about it, no?

The only thing I can think of is perhaps the recording was so crappy or otherwise he failed to capture anything properly, and so didn't bother to disseminate? OR the tape was confiscated by security later? OR he just never bothered to digitize it? Even if the latter is true, I'd think some copies would have been made and distributed over the years....

Other accounts of the same show mention "security taking discs and film", so it's possible that the dude just got busted later into the set and had to give up his recording. Either that or it was an inside man from Hexagon Sun who was one of the only ones with permission to film the whole thing (but only under the condition that the resulting recording is immediately sealed away in the secret Hexagon Sun underground storage facility afterwards, of course).

Honestly that's the only thing that makes sense to me - he got caught and had to give up the tape. Just another thing that is stored in Marcus' solar-alarm-protected vault of treasure that no one but the brothers may ever access

Indeed, plus you can hear talk of the security folks putting flashlights in people's eyes on track 7 so there was almost certainly some flashlight sweep that would've caught a large proper film camera before he had time to hide it

Weren't SD cards still kind of a new thing at that point? I was shocked at them when i got a nintendo ds in 2009. Maybe when he got caught he just deleted the internal storage and security didn't know any better?

The smallest option in 2001 would have been most likely a minidisc or mini dv tape camcorder. Any digital device would have held only seconds of video - the guy on twitter said his had a 32 MB card in it and he only recorded what, 18 seconds?

mini tape camcorders or even better (and expensive) minidisc camcorders could have captured the whole show - but of course are more conspicuous.

Maybe he only recorded 18 seconds because he was off his tits.

Also that's pretty much all that 32MB could capture back then!

Wow. This is very cool!

[Soul_Slip]

Anyways, back to BoC live..... it is still a miracle we have this little amount of footage. Hoping for one last show before they turn to bone dust in the desert of the real...

[funnnnpng]

A US/UK tour would be great, at least. If not, I'd love for them to do a live archive collection that's soundboard quality rips of all their live shows, (i.e. ae_live series)

[Soul_Slip]

Yeah that’d be awesome. Seefeel on YouTube recently confirmed one of the shows where BoC opened for them I believe. I chimed in that I would love to see both bands in one night and they stated... “never say never...” so I would be really happy to see these two acts perform again in the same night. It would be cool if one of the next LP’s we get is a soundboard live show. Like Peel Session EP only official live. Like ATP soundboard or even Lighthouse.

I'd say all the unreleased tracks from ATP, Warp10 and Lighthouse could make a pretty formidable LP when combined and sequenced well
