Notes:

  • This footage is a rare and obscure piece of 8mm film from the Signals tour, shot by an uncredited fan. While this film only resurfaced again online in 2023 with no date or location attached to it, information was recently provided in 2026 that claims this show was said to be from Dubuque, Iowa on September 5th 1982 when videotape copies were traded in the early 90s. While this can not be fully confirmed, it's the only potential date we have to attach to it. If true, this would suggest it's likely the same filmer as Dubuque 1981.
  • As with any 8mm film, full songs and concerts were not able to be captured due to the short length of each film cartridge (~3.5 minutes). Also, as with most 8mm film from the era, the film stock and camera used could not concurrently record audio.
  • It's possible that an audio sync may be done for this film at some point, though it is unfortunately very hard to see what songs are being played.

Found this footage years ago on youtube and it seems to have disappeared. This is a shitty recording I took back in like 2016 with a bad watermark and it’s cropped poorly. The audio sync is also trash. If anyone has any leads on where the original can be found please let me know. It’s about 30 seconds longer too.

 
I never knew this existed. I thought the only Signals videos that existed were from the nights in Montreal. I hope you can find this!
 
Looks like you found it, awesome!!!
Since this has been found, maybe I'll reformat this thread with a new post at the top with the usual formatting, and move it to the Signals tour...
There will be some unknowns of course, but it'd be labeled similarly to that unknown 1979 soundcheck. I'm not sure if we'll ever really find out any further details on this.
