I don't think they will have had those tapes digitised. Remember that we're looking at it from the point of view of being a fan, not from the point of view of being a Pet Shop Boy. I have the impression that they don't think there's any gold left to mine there. Hasn't Neil said previously that there are no songs they consider worthwhile left in the vaults? I think they view those cassettes as historical curios, no more.
I bet they have digitised them, if only for their own benefit.

Butter works well with popcorn because it stops the salt following gravity. Applied scientifically you can get a consistent saltiness throughout. Made at home you can use the same pan you've just dispatched the popcorn from and melt it straight over the puffed up little colonels.

Managed to VPN myself to the four clips. That's at least nine minutes or something. Some notes:
the backstage banter by the roadies is the same as in other documentaries (the talk about the fear of the lighting rig falling over is spinal tap level)
Chris talking a lot
THE DEMOS!

1 hour and 30 minutes of show, not a bad thing.

Thanks...it starts and then buffers after 5 seconds and won't resume. YouTube it is! Hopefully someone uploads it tomorrow.
