The performance was recorded by Kirston Koths, Oak Leaf Studios, and is included here with his permission. He recalls, "It was shot on Dec 31, 1981 in VHS on a 3-CCD RCA camcorder at Belmont Hill School near Boston." Koths in turn shared the footage with Ernie Spence, one of the dancers, and this clip was made from Ernie's copy, housed at the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Music and Dance at the University of New Hampshire, Special Collections, Durham, NH.
