In 1997 the Skunkworks Live Video was released in Japan. It was recorded in Spain over two nights, in Pamplona on May 31 and in Gerona on June 1 1996 on the European leg of the Skunkworks tour. The band is the same bunch as on the Skunkworks album, namely Alex Dickson on guitar, Chris Dale on bass and Alessandro Elena on drums.

The video runs for about 50 minuter and shows most of the band's headlining set, excluding "Headswitch" and "Innerspace" from the album who were played on other parts of the tour. Some songs are treated to improvisational passages before they kick off properly.

The gigs were shot on film and the visual presentation is quite artsy, with slow motion images and fast cuts. Bruce has commented on the video that "it was what 'Dive Dive Live' should have been".
