Sorry, you can tell I was only half paying attention for the first few minutes!

Denny's drumming was really solid in those days. Great footage.

[Rocker]

There's more footage of them sitting on a bed and being interviewed. Unfortunately all with a french voice over. Look at the Pro Shot Concerts list in my signature for the links.

This sure was a strange time. They sounded and played great but the whole thing had no real system imo. That thankfully changed when Jack Rieley came along

[Aegir]

this is my favorite live period of the band.

Love it that they started to experiment more, instead of leaning on their 'golden oldies'.

One of my favorites, and, the interview discussion centered around the position that they had changed and evolved their musical style but were "pigeon-holed" by the record company who wanted the "old formula" of rah-rah - surf, cars, etc.  I loved the almost unplugged feel and what looked like almost make-shift sound equipment, which almost tethered them a short distance, because the lines to the amps seemed so short.  And they played Country Air and a few other stage rarities.

Too bad, it was not subtitled in other languages.  But that is the gist of the interview.  I always wondered if it was done for a PBS- type documentary, or some other kind of music project.  Maybe Andrew (Doe) would know.

Not a documentary, all of the concert footage and the hotel interview are from a French TV appearance...TF2 program Pop2 which aired in April 1971. The concert was filmed in Dec. 1970. It was a benefit for the families of the victims of a recent fire that had killed over 100 people.

Thanks, Jon - one reason why I love this footage is that the band, in their own words, candidly depict the image struggle as between the record company and their attempt to evolve a different sound, and, yet tell the backstory of the family background of the band.  I noticed the Ina.fr mark on  the lower right corner.  I just checked and it looks like Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (boutique.ina.fr) and it appears that the video can be purchased for 2.99€ and is a little over 18 minutes.  This appears to be downloadable.

There is also a PopDeux video in the same section which mentions the Band, as well as an interview with Charlie
Watts of the Stones, and that is for sale for 3.99€ - this is 37 minutes and seems they can be downloaded as well.

Thanks, Jon for the backstory; I always loved those clips!
