Hunting down a Clip from Coundown

Hi dont know if ya can help, But I have been trying to hunt down a Clip of JOHN SWAN & BAND 'SAY YOU'LL DO SOMETHING in 1985

I have been trying to find it because a friend of mine was the stand in guitarist for John on the show. His Name is Gwyn Ashton. Also I have been in touch with John Swan about it and he is finding it difficult to obtain a copy. I contacted CountdownABC website and they found it and wanted $95 just for a copy of the song put onto a DVD. But the website has now vanished.

Anyway hope you can help
Cheers
Cliff

Re: Hunting down a Clip from Coundown

1985 seems to have been a busy year for Swan with the release of Busihdo as Swanee and then a 'solo' release that you mention.

According to his own site the single was released in July. Which means if it was on COuntdown it was probably on shows 469-472. Shows 470 and 472 have definately been repeated on rage.

I've had a look at them on Jason's database and I can't see it. Maybe it wasn't Countdown but Rock Arena or another show? Clearly the ABC do have footage of it though.

When I search TARA now I use this link here: http://search.abc.net.au/search/search.cgi?collection=tara&advanced=true&query=Countdown&meta_q_sand=&meta_a_sand=&num_ranks=20&meta_d1day=01&meta_d1month=Jan&meta_d1year=2016&meta_d2day=01&meta_d2month=Jan&meta_d2year=2016&meta_b_sand=&meta_c_sand=&meta_f_sand=&meta_d_sand=&meta_g_sand=&meta_j_sand=&meta_o_sand=&meta_p_sand=&Submit=Search

Sorry I can't be more help.
