I could not trace if this was posted here before, but I stumbled across it and I like it.
Someone put quite some effort into combining the sound track with the 8 mm movie shots.
Go ahead and watch it:





Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Great version, especially MT's soloing. The track is running a bit slow though.

The links are dead but this is the dvdr you want to get the whole thing...

Is Charlie wearing the ac Milano shirt ?

Red and black stripes nothwithsnding, that was not Milan's shirt (in those years the stripes were much narrower). I always loved to believe he wanted to pay homage to Milan by wearing a red and black shirt (technically we were the "world champions" in charge after winning the intercontinental cup against Estudiantes in 1969) - but who knows if it is true or not.

By the way, does anybody know how to find a picture of Charlie with that shirt in a sufficiently decent resolution to allow a print (even paying?)

I don't think teams sold official football strips then, so it's probably something unnoficially made for fans of the team, but based on an older team strip, but not exactly the same. The kind of tops you can buy in tourist shops etc. Charlie's looks to have the AC Milan team badge in centre of the top.

Indeed Milan started selling official merchandise early in the 80's, and as far as I remember (first football games I saw at the stadium were in 78) unofficial shirts, scarfs and cushions were available everywhere. But I am positive that the one Charlie was wearing is not a reproduction of an early Milan shirt. Save the very first years, the first shirt with the team badge was made in 81, and in any case the badge is on the right side, never in the center.

It not a "scudetto" either, because also the "scudetti" were placed on the right side.

My guess is it could have been the shirt of an English team (red and black striped shirts where and are common second kits, i.e. Man City these days), but my encyclopedic knowledge of football matters has some gray areas when dealing with English away kits in the 70s ...

Keith was posing already in 1969

Keith was posing with guitar in front of the mirror in the 50s, even before he could play. It's his calling in life

Didn't Pete Townshend once say his windmills were inspired by Keith' moves? Even in the early
years Keith had his way of talking with his body while playing guitar. Look at his performance
at the NME. Is this posing?

I think that Pete Townshend's quote comes the ALO bio "Stoned"
