Re: Blue Mountain
You can see all the cameras recording the performance in that clip!

The rushes at 1:10-1:50 and 5:35-5:48 appear at 0:40-2:05 on the final clip. They probably wanted a "live" feel to it, that's why Rick and Darren are on desk. Note that they're only performing Push Upstairs for the purpose of the clip, not any other track. You can also spot Graham Wood on the making of at 5:19 e̷n̷d̷i̷n̷g̷ ̷h̷i̷s̷ ̷o̷p̷e̷n̷i̷n̷g̷ ̷D̷J̷ ̷s̷e̷t̷ directing and the actual filming location at 0:37 (three colorful garden tents). All of this was shot during the day, under continuous rain so quite unwelcome for an audience to attend. On the other hand we have very few info on the actual Blue Mountain performance. The gigography refers to it as a "live jam" while Jamie states it was a "studio rehearsal" so it's hard to say if there's was an actual audience, if it happened during the day or night, on a stage or under these same tents, etc. Karl does say at the end of Something Like A Mama: "We're just gonna take a small interlude, ladies and gentlemen, when you can recharge your glasses and refresh your underwear" which could hint to a audience presence but that's about it. What's strange still, is that there's a glimpse of Cups (Bridge) on the making of at 5:18, exactly as we can hear it on the Blue Mountain Session... A rehearsal? It's funny because I always listened to this recording thinking it was from a large gig similar to the ones we see on the EverythingEverything DVD but it seems like this one was way more intimate.

Re: Blue Mountain
I was always under the impression that it was basically a live performance, but just for the video shoot's crew
like - they were already going to film them playing "Push Upstairs" live, and they needed to rehearse for the upcoming tour, so they were like 'why not'... and just kinda did a live jam for whoever was there at the time |

Re: Blue Mountain
There was no public audience. It was a jam performance for the crew of the music video shoot, after the completion of the filming. Everything in the "Making Of" from 4:48 - 5:46 is regarding the performance. They didn't lug the mixing desk, a PA system, and their live sound engineer (John Newsham at 5:23) to the mountains just to play a backing track for the music video filming.
There was a post by UW sometime in 2008 when they reposted the Blue Mountain gig to their website that explained this. I'm pretty sure I saved it, but I can't find it at the moment in my archives. I did, however, find an article from Time Out magazine in 1999 which contained the following, saying essentially the same thing, and also confirms that the whole gig was filmed: Quote:

Re: Blue Mountain
Wow. So you did have all the details, you naughty boy
Sounds fantastic, thanks for sharing. One can only hope they'll release it at some point. I often daydream about all of these unreleased/untouched gig materials they must have been gathered all these years and that are just sitting on a hard drive on a shelf somewhere in Essex... I guess I'll just add this one to the list for now. |

Re: Blue Mountain
BTW, I did find that page that UW posted about the video shoot and the concert. You can read about it here, as well as an additional interview with a few more details:
