This reminded me that I need to go through those playlists of all those party tapes and ask for every single one to get added to demozoo.

Oh and if anyone has footage of Wired '95 that's both in at least 30fps and NOT the Canal plus, or literally any footage at all from The Gathering '95, PLEASE SHARE, I've been looking for years!

You can EITHER have a look at this AI bot cloned user with my face and an even more shitty name here, as he has posted a regional TV report about Breakpoint 2008. To find context and that video, please see https://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=12846 here.

Alternatively some random samples of videos that I find informative or entertaining:

https://ftp.untergrund.net/breakpoint/2010/misc/bp10_misc_we_love_you_h264.mp4 (seriously please skip the part where I am talking on stage IN FULL, what I say is FAR too long as always)

https://ftp.untergrund.net/breakpoint/2010/misc/bp10_interview_friday_outside_h264.mp4

I think the best opening ceremony of any demo party ever:

Parental Advisory, Explicit Content!

Please ask your local Unesco world heritage manager for the backstory on how the fuck a city government could sabotage a demo party by on purpose putting a regional table tennis / ping pong championship onto the the day BEFORE the party was officially starting, ignoring they know we would need 4 days before to start setting it up, how we fought back, and won.

Pick:

The originally released encoding from the breakpoint TV team: https://breakpoint.untergrund.net/download.php?dir=2009/misc/&file=bp09_misc_openingceremony.mp4

or the AI-remastered version on YouTube (AI was controlled by me, not me by AI) which really looks much better:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R79ebdJgXlY

AGAIN: SKIP THE PART WHERE I AM TALKING COMPLETELY. NOT RELEVANT. BORING EVEN WORSE THEN THE ONE ABOVE! WHY THE FUCK DID OVER THE YEARS NOBODY FROM THE BP TEAM IMPLEMENT AN AUTOMATIC GUN INSTALLED ON STAGE THAT FIRES AT ME ONCE I AM USING FAR TOO MANY WORDS?! Srsly, please skip my part at the end.

Breakpoint 2010 - Last morning of the last day of the last BREAKPOINT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2eiJTSDtpo

Those pretty summarize the young and naive italian demoscene;

T.R.I.P. '98 (The Real Italian Party 1998, San Giorgio del Sannio, Benevento )

TRIP '99 (1999, Firenze)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARDxFRe1lNk

Both in 4:3 glory!!

Found an mpeg transport stream copy of an Evoke 2006 party report by 3SAT TV station. Not sure if available elsewhere, if anyone cares I'll transcode and put it up on youtube or elsewhere.

Not the best quality, but https://ftp.untergrund.net/users/highsociety/dump/evoke_2006_in_cologne_%283sat_neues%29.avi

it's been on scene.org as well for ages: https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2006/evoke06/misc/evokereport_3sat.mpg

Underground conference 5.25" (2001)

One notable one if you wanna know how some well-known German sceners looked like with baby faces:

Trigger warning, includes various sceners no longer alive

This was the first party I attended, the trip was quite an adventure for a 15 year old.
