debut of Kristeen Young as the fluf-, er, set opener

So I was just wondering...do you have an earthquake insurance policy on your home? Because arrangements could be made if you keep this shit up. (I'm kidding.)

Yes, respect again to NRITH
I remember watching this at the time and loved the two lads on stage, and then the camera moves to Johnny, who looks at someone and flicks his head, saying 'get them off'!

Thanks! I just updated the original post. I haven't watched the clip yet--is the quality so horrible that someone shouldn't post it on YouTube?

The quality is very bad but I've seen clips with even worse quality on Youtube
So if someone can post it...
