Unfortunately, I don't have any Aussie PopMart footage. I do have a
video (VHS/PAL) called `Pop, Pop and More Pop', which my brother taped
from Foxtel around that time. I can't remember the exact contents, as
I believe it was not an actual program, but promo bits and piece about
the PopMart tour. It didn't have any news stories.
However, there was a Press Conference on February 17, 1998, held after
the Perth concert. It was taped by the ABC for their Recovery program,
back when Dylan was the host. I think there were other tv media people
there. I was allowed in to the Press Conference, since I was still
doing `Harbour in the Tempest' at the time. Unfortunately, some guy
with a noisy zoom lens was standing right next to my tape recorder,
not to mention the presence of a really large oscillating fan (Perth
in Summer!!!) so the audio quality is appalling. Otherwise, I would
have used the transcript in a `Harbour' issue, although I stopped
doing the fanzine soon afterwards.
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the press conference, but I heard
it was played in two parts on the Recovery program. If anyone has the
complete Press Conference, I'd LOVE to get a copy of it. I don't have
anything equally interesting to trade, though I think I have a spare
inflatable PopMart Lemon, still in the plastic.
See ya,
Katie
