The final concert of the "Camo" tour was held at the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton, Derbyshire on 17 January 1981, and the performance was filmed, with multitrack audio recorded by the Manor Mobile.
They intended it as a source of footage for the group's first music video, as well as a way to document the Bunnymen's dynamic live performances in this period.
After placing advertisements in the music press, 500 respondents were sent free tickets and a map to the secret venue (called "Gomorrah" in the ad), and for a £5 fee, coach transport was arranged for fans coming from London, Liverpool and other cities.
The finished product, also titled "Shine So Hard", was a 32-minute short film that combined Smith and Duval's avant-garde opening montage (a series of oblique images of the band engaged in various activities leading up to the concert) with footage of four songs from the concert, "Crocodiles", "Zimbo", "All That Jazz" and "Over the Wall".
A limited edition of 500 32-minute videos filmed by Bill Butt[4] were subsequently released in 1982 of the Buxton concert.
