General curiosity, but when was the TATF video made. It looks as though it had to have been made within weeks of Shannon's passing. Also, did it ever make it to MTV or the radio?

I do believe it was to be released (the video) That week after Shannon died. I think you'd be right assuming it was just weeks prior, but as for an actual date I'm not sure. I don't remember there being talk in the book about the TATF video, but there was a great deal of discussion on the Galaxie video.

if i remember correctly, and i'm not sure because it's been a long time, i read once that mtv had the video and had pretty much ignored it until shannon died, then showed it a bit directly after his death, then went back to ignoring it, but it was filmed within a few weeks of him passing.

It took me awhile but I've found some info. I know there was a site somewhere that had posted all old Melon Dates.....but i could not find them... BUT I've found this back stage pass thing from the Page/Plant shows BM did in Oct 6. of '95. www.wolfgangsvault.com/dt/jimmy-page-laminate/CLX951006-LA.htmlThey did two or three dates for them, i do believe. And in the Greg Prato book.... it states that Shannon was excited 'cause Nico & Lisa were there.... It also stated the he was clean during those shows. When those shows were done, it sounds like they stayed around LA (the beginning of Shannon's relapse, and final 2 weeks) to shoot Toes Across the Floor video.... Glen: "other than the 'Toes Across the Floor' video- which was shot during this time in LA... being one of the most ridiculous things I've ever been involved in. I remember Shannon was in bad shape. He was at the beginning of his sort of 'Alice Cooper make-up' phase... not sure what went on there, but not good. " From the link, maybe we could assume the video was shot one of the days between Oct. 7-10/95 maybe?

Not positive, but I think I read somewhere that "Toes" was the vid first released the Monday following Shannon's death over that weekend. Don't hold me to that, though.
