Description

The main part of this film was recorded at Charleroi, Palais des Expos, on 27th September 1975, this legendary gig captures the classic Van der Graaf line up of Hugh Banton, Guy Evans, David Jackson and Peter Hammill on their 1975 French tour. Although the band only recently reformed following Peter Hammills solo projects, Van der Graaf immediately create their own unique levels of intensity and vision as they take us through the entire Godbluff album. Complimenting this stunning performance, is rare continental studio footage from the early 1970s featuring incendiary performances of Theme One and the whole of A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers.

    • Great addition for the fan, I just remember what live recording was in the early 70s.
Great addition for the fan, I just remember what live recording was in the early 70s. The sound is pretty awful, the video is at times embarrassing, But at least it is documentation of their Godbluff and World Record phase. The chief complaint is that the most important part to me, Hamels brilliant poetry/lyrics, are completely obscured; you can hear that he is singing, but there’s no way to comprehend what he is saying; the gain on the vocals is always 30% too low, and when ph tries to compensate, He only makes the inherent distortion on the vocals way worse. I would’ve been content to borrow this and listen to it once and once only. ... show more

    • However the video and audio quality is noticeably poor in comparison
There are two additional tracks in here that are absent from the Godbluff DVD; "What would have Robert said?" and "Darkness". However the video and audio quality is noticeably poor in comparison. The Godbluff DVD appears to be an earlier copy and the colors are brighter and there's better contrast. In addition the audio is Dolby 5.1 as opposed to stereo for the Live Broadcasts DVD. ... show more

    • Don't Bother--Technical Problems with Video and Audio Sync
Audio sync is WAY off on this version. Unwatchable.

    • ATTENTION: Fans of the early Van Der Graaf Generator!!
Finally we can now see the original line-up of V.D.G.G.--in performance of two songs from the 1970 album "The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other". These are very rare German TV takes and they are: 1)"Whatever Would Robert Have Said?" and 2)"Darkness". Incredibly, not much video document survives anywhere of the early V.D.G.G., so it's a real treasure to be able to revisit these performances and therefore see firsthand just how heavy and intense Peter Hammill and company really were! These two cuts are super-rare and have not been released before --but then again the other performances on this DVD are rare enough--but the others have been released on other DVD's fairly recently and you might already have them (buy this DVD anyway for the first two rarities). The other songs are: "Theme One" and "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" from the 1970 (also) album "Pawn Hearts" (fantastic of course!)(these two are filmed in a studio setting, and very dramatically). And to round things out, there is a live concert from 1975 at the Palais des Expos in France. The songs featured in this concert are: "The Undercover Man", "Arrow", "Scorched Earth", and "The Sleepwalkers". This concert shows once again just how unique and intense Van Der Graaf Generator were in performance. However, after viewing this French concert you will have a burning desire to find and strangle the French camera operators. You will understand. But really, the V.D.G.G. are superb in this 1975 concert also. These are rarities which all fans of Van Der Graaf Generator will definitely want in their collection. ... show more

    • A Unique Look at a Unique Band
Van der Graaf Generator Live Broadcasts is worth its weight in gold. There was never a band as unique as Van der Graaf (and probably never will be). This DVD is a rare insight into just how good this band was "live". "A Plague of Lighhthouse Keepers" has to be seen to be believed. The film quality is very good especially considering this footage is from 1970 - 1975. The sound quality is even better. [DW] ... show more

    • Nice replacement for the GODBLUFF DVD
It has exactly the same stuff from the Godbluff DVD, plus two extra tracks. Highly reccomendable.
