Been scrolling through your blog and saw you mention offhand that you've seen the music machine live performance of Lookin' After No. 1. I think I've only ever seen the performance of Close As You'll Ever Be and I am DYING to hear some more from that gig.
(P.S I have a playlist for Boomtown Rats rarities here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo1k9w_H9Xh1sitb8oYRzeovRlt5AC0F7&si=NVmEHtyXHsbF24SX Please recommend anything that hasn't been on there that should be!)
Oh sorry, I haven't seen the full Music Machine video myself either! I've only watched the clips that were included in the Citizens of Boomtown documentary, which IIRC was only 'Close as You'll Ever Be'.
Other than that, I've just been down a rabbit hole of the accounts from people who were actually at the show - if I can find any of those sources again, I'll post them up here!
And thank you for sharing that playlist!! I'll have to take a look through it, and I'll definitely send links your way if any come to mind!
