Length: 14 minutes
Complete: Yes
Taper: Unknown
Lineage: Unknown digital camera -> MiniDV Master Tape
Notes: This footage was taken from the master MiniDV tape of someone who walked over that lived close by to check out the show. Lots of crowd shots mixed in and it looks like the taper used the still photo feature on his camera quite a bit. Either way, it is a good capture of the insanity that was the protest outside the DNC that day. So many cameras present in this footage - hopefully one day more tapes emerge! Songs filmed are Bulls on Parade, Kick out the Jams, Testify, Guerrilla Radio, Sleep Now in the Fire, Beautiful World, and Freedom.
