The Poet Sniffs A Flower

from Reading Rock 1983 by Twelfth Night

	/

DVD
Our first Archive Release DVD, Reading Rock ’83 features our legendary performance with Geoff Mann at the 1983 Reading Festival. Now available as a SPECIAL EDTION by the inclusion of a bonus CD-R featuring the 4 tracks broadcast by the BBC.

Festival-goer and Twelfth Night fan Colin Dodd filmed us from the crowd on the day and sent his fantastic footage to us. David Read re-mastered the video with the BBC stereo recording of our set (originally broadcast on the Friday Rock Show back in 1983), and enhanced it with some truly wonderful state-of-the-art animated stills. He also designed the sleeve for us.

Although the footage is only from a single camera, if you have fond memories of seeing Geoff in 1983, or indeed never saw him perform with the band, then this tight 40 minute set consisting of The Ceiling Speaks, Creepshow, The Poet Sniffs a Flower and Sequences will take you right back.

There is a short trailer for the DVD at our YouTube channel:

As with all of our releases, there are lots of added extras: including 4 performances filmed at Reading University in January 1983 (We Are Sane + three others), an interview with Brian and Clive, plus slideshows and some other bonuses which you’ll need to buy the DVD to find! ... more

I remember the excitement when The Sentinel was released having seen the band live a few times before. I loved the album but was aware that there were tracks missing and it had been rumoured that it was to be a double album. To hear all these takes and works in progress takes me right back to the 80's and the buzz of all the new prog that was coming out back then. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any Pallas fan. nuttinikki
