ScottishTeeVee has unearthed this terrific footage shot during the Gibus residency, an interview with the band (minus Spaeth, plus wig) at a recording studio, presumably Le Grand Arnet, and a killer version of "Way Down South" recorded at the club before a show. ("Way Down South" wasn't included on Speed Connection, I or II;, Robert Warren played bass on the studio version cut the following year, so here's a rare chance to see original bassist Pakulski buckle in.)
Here are a couple tracks from Speed Connection II: The Final Chapter, soundtrack to the nuttiness:

Wonderful piece and really gives a sense of these crazed shows especially after hearing the albums and reading about them in Sweat. Thanks Joe!
Thank you, Robert!
They played Swarthmore College in 1982(?) and it was the most raucus, sweaty, pure, unadulterated, gleeful fun show I ever attended. The contrast with Young Marble Giants, who played the lame spot around that same time, couldn't have been greater.
