The Chameleons – Paper Tigers

This video is from The Chameleons: Live At The Hacienda Manchester DVD. The first ever DVD to feature the creative intensity and charisma of one of Manchester’s most talented bands, The Chameleons. The DVD features the band playing two gigs during their 1980’s heyday. The first show is from Manchester’s famous Hacienda club. The second show from Manchester’s Gallery Club is a must have for any Chameleons fan. The footage was barely remembered by anyone concerned in its production – band included. Why is this so important? Simple, several of the tracks included in the set had hardly been played before or after, let alone recorded, and this footage is probably the only documentation of them. Brought together for the first time on DVD these two rare and important video performances stand as raw testimonies to one of Manchester’s most under rated acts, playing to a hometown audience, at the peak of their career. The band re-formed last year, playing to sell-out crowds around the country and, such was the response, entering the studio to record a new album.
