Yes, the Paris Theatre would be right. I went to a couple of BBC "In Concert" recordings there myself - but sadly not the one in question.
It is a shame that the announcer comes on and talks over the top of 'Rejoice.' The BBC must have it all somewhere (audio only, of course). 'Rejoice' goes for 1:37 before the idiot starts gabbling over it.
Interesting to note that in the space between 'Out Of Control' and 'Rejoice', at least one person is hollering for the return of ATF.
Glad to see I got the right gig! The second I saw the setlist, I thought "That's the BBC 'In Concert' show from early on the October Tour, isn't it?" Yes, I'm a setlist nut. I'm pretty sure I've never seen any copy of any portion of Rejoice before (Do any of the bootleg experts that come to Interference come to this forum? I'm not 100% on this), so yes, you really have a find there if I'm right. I didn't even know there was video footage.
Shame the people start talking all over Rejoice - can you still hear the band behind them, and is there video footage of the band still playing? You've got me curious! And I guess you'll always have one person in the crowd who's going to want someone else back ...
The earliest stuff I owned was a VHS tape of another BBC concert, this time on TV. They filmed Stiff Little Fingers and U2 on back-to-back nights (I think) in Belfast and then broadcast about an hour (if memory serves) in which they wove the two bands in between each other. It was rather good I think. But I loaned it to someone 22 years ago and he hasn't returned it yet. So if you are out there, Torrington, GIVE IT BACK!
Again, I think I know what you're talking about:

The problem with all official setlists I can find for that is they are WRONG. After The Electric Co., it should read Things To Make And Do/Twilight/I Will Follow/Out Of Control. I have a full audio bootleg - unfortunately MP3 sourced and I'd like a lossless copy - and I also have some poor video footage of The Ocean, 11 O'clock Tick Tock. The Cry/The Electric Co., and Out Of Control as a bonus on a DVD I have. I'm pretty sure that's what you mean. I thought the two bands played on the same night, but I wasn't so sure of that. One amusing side note is that on my DVD, The Electric Co. is labelled as 'Electrico'.
In any case, all the best to you for your seminary studies and churches. I hope you enjoy it! I must say it's something that's caught my interest a few times, though I'm going into journalism myself. And if you ever want to trade out those tapes (especially if you find the interview) ... well, I won't say no! Especially not if it's converted to DVD ...
