Someone found this a few years ago and thought it was the earliest footage. There was a fair few audio bootlegs from 2004 knocking round in the summer of 2005 but no footage so it probably is true that it is the earliest. This must have been the tour they got signed up off.

I think there’s footage of Bob playing some Earthquake Glue stuff on a guitar? In the studio though, so not exactly live.
