This was minute addition to the tour, with the show first advertised as CSS and Hot Hot Heat with "special guests". Tickets were not for sale, it was invite only and a comp running on the Lair website.
Overheard at soundcheck: The Rose March, Behold the Night Mare.
More info to come, Team Ozphoria reporting live from an alley next to the venue.

I just watched and taped in on MTV, saw heaps of Vic and towards the end saw Simon, Bree and Josh (BC was standing right in front of them!)

Wow. Wow.
Ok, where to start? For those who missed it they played That's the Way, Rose March and a Echo and the Bunnymen cover Lips like Sugar (they played it in Europe) we were right in front and Josh got introduced to a VIP, Spaceboy himself; Billy's brother Jesse. He looks like Billy but he has hair! now we're at a pub celebrating!

I found it funny that the place was full of these rent-a-crowd socialite types (and Saxon from Big Brother a few years ago) and then there's us; all grimey and gross after standing around in a dirty alley all day.

Lining up, hanging out in alleys... Such a fantastic show - Billy was standing right in front of me when they were playing 'Lips like Sugar' and I didn't know where to look at one stage. Where do you look when one of your favourite people on the planet is standing in 'personal space' territory?

Really hope a video of this surfaces soon, Im trying to find an idea when it might be replayed on MTV.
I know a few people on here said they recorded it, just waiting for it to be uploaded somewhere. I asked my parents to record it, but they only recorded the one song and then they thought that was it. Oh parents and technology sometimes don't mix do they?

Oh parents and technology sometimes don't mix do they? I just set up the parents new TV this week - their first digital TV. I had to laugh every time they threw their hands up in the air as I was trying to explain the differences between analogue & digital TV. I've only had a few calls from them since, so they've either got the hang of it (pfft) or they've given up completely. ;] Can't wait to see a video of this show surface somewhere, so if anyone comes across one, let us know!

I'll try and keep this brief. For now, I've put up an .mp4 of the dvd for those just in a hurry to see it. This was recorded with a SA (stand alone dvd recorder). When the Tarantula and TTW vids were being played on rage, i found i got slightly better picture quality using my capture card. But i haven't used it since then and rarely use it all together. When i tested before this MTV preformance, i used the setting i'd created for those vids with the capture card software, but the results were pretty poor and not as good as my SA capture. So hopefully i can fiddle with the software and get a better capture of one of the encore screenings of this. I use VLC to play this and it's squished vertically when using the default setting. When i set the AR to 16:9 it looks a lot better, although it's possibly slightly squished horizontally, hard to tell. GSpot reports it as 4:3. Uggh, i don't know too much about video as you can see by this post. Anyway this is how it looked on the TV when it aired, black bars on sides (so obviously not 16:9) and top and bottom So anyway, the file (167mb). I like mediafire best mainly because i can upload to it faster than others i've used, it does however have a 100mb limit so i split the folder with winrar. So dload both .rars somehwere hit extract here on pt.1 and that'll extract the folder from both .rars. pt.1 hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?xt3wmf7bdxh pt.2 hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?oza9vxybn21 Hopefully i can get a better capture from one of the encore screenings, either way i'll probably end up torrenting a dvd

HAHA im sure Bree and Simon will claims that one as their's! Who wouldnt!
I think BC wanted to sing to the few people in the crowd who were actually fans of SP and not drunk losers!

Hi, this is Dani. I'm busy at work but just wanted to say that I had the BEST time at the mini gig on Friday. It was a dream come true to me and glad to have shared it with some of you.
