<P>I have been waiting for my sister to post, but I guess I will- She has this on video, unfortunately, not the best quality, but it is about 17years old! I watched it last night- boy that guy can drum. Rob's on North Head, then on top of a high-rise aprtment block, with the camerawork taken by a descending parachutist filming in between his/her feet. That show was so cool- I remember they did real stories in between music- like interviewing homeless youth, so they knocked on a clothing recycling bin, and out popped a homeless youth's head, and was interviewed from inside the bin-OK it may have been staged, but it had the desired effect. Sure beats Britney/Shakira/Pepsi dross that is on TV these days. Bah Humbug!<BR><BR></P></DIV>
