On new years eve about 1999, I was one of the fortunate bunnies to be pullled up on stage for a 
dance and streamer throw with about half a dozen other punters ... being a fan of oddities, i took 
photos from on stage of both martin and jims pedals ... i thinkk martins foot is even in one of the 
shots ... :-)
If you want them, badger me to try to find the shots, scan them and post them somewhere ... I'm 
pretty busy with a baby, and there are many photos to sort through.  perhaps i'll one day scan oll 
my shots from the era and web them. theres about 2 or 3 just gem shots, and a lot of the usual 
(yeh, that's jim ... uh huh, theres bones ... aha .. pete again ..)

i was wondering if anyone has any any info on the various effects and set-ups the Oils used, i'm mainly interested in the giffo era, perhaps the guys in the Midnight Oil Show might know? any info anyone could provide me with would be greatly appreciated,
