For many years on the VHS I thought at 3:21 Rick said "head jobs"

I like the way Rossi runs out of inspiration just after the "Mexican hat dance" during Roadhouse Blues.

Tears For Fears 'Change'. Have to skip the general Knebworth intro 50 mark, to see the band on a rainy stage and us lot having an early bath! I think Badman's Song is absolutely immense. Then again, I can never decide whether I prefer this version or the one recorded earlier on the TFF tour at Santa Barbara which has a beautiful guitar solo by Roland. It was pretty nice last year in Bruchsal too

The strong winds were a blessing on the day as they at least drove the rain clouds away just at the end of the 'Tears For Fears' set. The sun came out just in the nick of time for Quo's appearance. Quite liked a few Tears For Fears tracks but my admiration went up quite a few notches that day as that band battled through the rain hitting the front of the stage. Hadn't been to Wembley for Live Aid but had been to the Prince's Trust gig in 1986 at Wembley Arena. Similar to Knebworth '90 in terms of seeing many of the great and the good in the music world on the same bill and in some cases playing together in a Supergroup scenario. Apart from Quo, a highlight for me at Knebworth '90 had been seeing Plant & Page, as I had seen Led Zep at Knebworth back in 1979. I had also seen Genesis at Knebworth in 1978 so another group I had been keen to see again. A little bit disappointed though with the Genesis set, a bit lightweight that then turned into some cover songs. Probably didn't appreciate enough at the time how fortunate we were to see this array of musicians who had shaped the history of Rock/pop etc. Had seen Cliff before on stage, as a girlfriend at the time worshipped him (!) though I hadn't seen The Shadows on stage and can appreciate much more now just how significant they were in the music business. Would have liked to have seen out the whole Pink Floyd set but the people I were with were driving and they wanted to go home after a few Floyd songs. I think Elton John had been going through a grumpy phase at that time and remember reading somewhere that he was disappointed that so many of the old brigade bands were on the bill. He was championing young bands back then. Though not sure which young bands he had in mind, bearing in mind that it was about the bands involved with Nordorf Robbins. Hadn't realised I'd seen Hank Marvin !!!

Did the full footage of Quo’s set ever emerge?
Has anyone ever seen it ?
And does it still exist ?

I'd assume that all the sets still exist. Pink Floyd (who released their set last year) won't be the only band to be preserved

Apparently the gig was broadcast live on American TV, and if that's the case, someone must have the masters. At the very least you'd think the footage would've leaked onto youtube. I have audio from the gig and it's American presenters on it, so I'm not sure if it's from TV or Radio.
