Removed probably as a result of the posts on this board as this place is regularly "policed" which is why posters should always be carefull about I.D.ing bootleg sources etc, although in the case of YouTube it seems particularly sad and petty as there is no evident commercial motive there just a desire to share.

The frustrating thing about all this is that the whole performance is available but only within a very small circle of collectors. It was available from one collector of 50's and 60's rock TV memorabilia as a video, but that source has now gone to ground. The performance should be available to TV researchers from the David Frost Show website although only the U.S. July 1969 and Augus

this sounds really reassuring as there was a rumour that the version about to be released on DVD was the version with a lot of cuts of scenes hinting at Chas's twisted sexuality, plus the dubbing of both Johnny Shannon and John Bindon's voices amongst others. In fact the rather lame cut that Warner Bros released on video in the eighties. But if this is the version shown on BBC2, or e

Majesty I don't want to labour the point but the Beatles had kinda lost their group esprit de core by 1969 and I'll readily agree that Lennon was always a rocker but Macca as has been shown over the intervening years ain't and it's not suprising that the edgier stuff was to be found on Lennon's solo output as oppposed to the at times truly dire stuff to be found on Wings

Actually bearing in mind that (I think I'm right in saying) this was the first of the Stones entirely self financed tours, promoters would have been operating at the behest of the Stones and they certainly wouldn't have wanted to waste their ackers over after show wrangles with another band of equal stature and the endless haggling over who brought the biggest crowd etc, etc. The Bea

THe Stones could piss on the Beatles as a live act at any stage throughout the sixties, the Beatles had tired of touring by 1966 and that was because they realised that they weren't particularly good at the live show preferring to concentrate their resources in the studio. By 1969 it was really over for them and Topo Gigio was a more likely contender for hot act on the gig circuit. The

A lot of people have been commenting on this parlous situation for years. Sadly between the eradification of much of their early appearances on UK TV and the fact that there is a virtual embargo on any film of the band in their early days being released, due to (list copyright reasons, band politics, you name it... the bottome line is that all you're likely to get until they finally throw in

Fascinating debate here as it really goes to the heart of collecting. I mean I'm sure that all of us are the net beneficiaries of stuff that we've sourced from a lot of hard graft and dedication to the cause.

One of the ultimate "markers" of wares that they had acquired or in this case illicitly taped was the late, great Mike Millard who taped a load of shows in the mid '70's at the L.A. Forum. This included nearly all the Stones, Zep and Floyd shows and owners of many Stones L.A. '75 shows are the beneficiaries of this guy's unintentional largess. He was so obsessive

Fascinating stuff J and thanks for your input.

Well I think without wanting to add to the angst ridden demands of the project, the guy to do it without a doubt is Bill Wyman.
