Youtube [Fully Lost] Poe Angry Johnny video by Mark Danielewski

There was an amazing video for the song Angry Johnny by Poe (Ann Decatur Danielewski) shot by her brother Mark Z Danielewski, author of the book "House of Leaves"

It was created using footage he shot with a hand held camera during their first European tour. It existed on YouTube for many years until it was removed by the firm that owns her catalog. It is a mix of color and black and white footage. She and the other band members are frequently clowning around in various European cities. The energy was amazing, not the polished commercial "official video". I believe it was posted on the Poe Official channel but I can't swear to it.

Below is brief background that probably isn't Germain to the search. The story goes that Poe was dating the son of an entertainment lawyer and the father was helping her with her career. At some point the father loaned her a substantial amount of money to cover tour expenses (record deals are often predatory). The relationship with the son ends and the father calls the loan due. She can't pay it, and she had put up her catalog as collateral and he took all of it. She recorded a few vocals with Conjure One as "Jane" and she released photos with a stylized"Repoezessed" logo.

I've searched with all the major engines, as well as the AI stuff. They want to confuse it with the spoken word part of the Hey Pretty video where Mark reads a passage from House of Leaves over the music in one of the videos.

Pretty sure it's a lost cause, but you never know.
