Just found this on eBay: Click meHas anybody ever heard of this? Would love to see this! Admin edit. I’ve setup a go fund me to try and buy this. A long shot I know but worth a try. If we don’t achieve our target then it’s an automated refund process (up to £500, after that I need to arrange via Gofundme support). I’ll arrange the transfer of whatever it is to a digital format. www.gofundme.com/status-quo-hammersmith-1977The target is £1500 to give a bit of leeway on purchase. If by some crazy miracle we go beyond target I’ll do a donation to Shona’s Smile of the balance. I’ll stick some dosh in shortly to get us kicked off.

Very interesting... There's also footage of Quo at the Glasgow Apollo. Alan Parker mentioned it a while back and said it's practically no good

Anyone on here got an old 8mm film projector and the technology to copy it! Maybe we should crowd fund it! I'd definitely contribute!

That seller recently sold another film reel as well with a bunch of photo slides... god knows what was on the film reel because it wasnt put in the description, but it went for £30.
Wish I'd have bought that

Might message the seller... If we don't get our hands on it, then it'd be some selfish *rick.
And 8mm didn't record audio did they? And there are no bootlegs from Hammy on that tour, so some other audio would have to be thrown over it

Also, something else regarding Hammersmith... Mr. Gamble has confirmed these tapes ARE from the Hammersmith Odeon 1979 shows (26th June), and hopefully something comes of them

Quo are like Pink Floyd in some regards not much pro shot stuff out there from their peak period. PF do supposedly have a pro shot show from the 1974 DSOTM tour and a 1977 pro shot show but footage from those shows have never seen the light of day so all just a myth.

Wish I'd have bought that Yep It Was Me That Got That, Will Probably End Up Sending 8mm Tape To Mr.Gamble To Have A Look At See If Anything Of Interest On It

Has anyone tried to contact the seller about this? I was wondering if he filmed the concert himself or personally knew the person... Surely if someone went to the trouble of filming the concert, they would have done audio tapes as well?
