Boscombe Band at Jönköping in 1990

Although some of the videos of the Band have cropped up during my previous blogging I thought that it would be a good idea to bring more of them together in a series of posts. Many of them are, of course, available on the Band’s own website but this will allow me to create the record of these memories alongside my other music posts.

This post features an evening concert which was given towards the start of the Band’s tour of Sweden in 1990. On the first Sunday we visited Jönköping in the evening and the whole event was recorded by the local salvationists who had a video recording set up that was probably ahead of its time. Of course the quality of this has suffered from being originally on a VHS tape before being transferred to digital, but it does offer the opportunity to see and hear the Band as it was then.

I should say that the event went on for so long that it couldn’t be fitted onto a single tape – possibly our longest ever concert!
