The policy of this website is to not include bootlegs. Well, "Inside Van der Graaf Generator" definitely is one. Check the official homepage of Peter Hammill for this:

This entry should be removed immediately.

I've noticed that these 'Inside' DVDs have been condemned by almost every artist that they release them of, or by the fans of the bands.

they are a rip-off, of both artist and listener. they are overly expensive. this is at least the case for VdGG. to cite Peter Hammill: " A copy of the Classic Rock "Inside VdGG" DVD has now made its way to us. As expected, this is an exploitative release (at a barely credible £25!) which we urge you to avoid. If you know anything at all about VdGG you will learn nothing from this package."

We at Prog Archives owe Mr Hammill big time for his generosity of spirit in allowing us to keep the MP3s.

Smack my wrists if you want,but I have deleted this DVD as a mark of respect.

The "Inside" series are a tricky one. They cannot be bootlegs in the accepted sense, as they are commercially available through High Street stores, and online retailers. I understand that they have not been sanctioned by the bands concerned, but that is the case for many compilations and re-issues, especially where the band have lost ownership of their back catalogue.

Many of these collections contain otherwise hard to get or unavailable recordings, even if they are frustratingly edited.

What about the Zappa DVD "The Torture Never Stops"? It is published by Room 101, and it was filmed for television. I wondered why it's not in the archives ...
