Title: More classic London vibrations
Post by: Phoenix on February 12, 2013, 09:00:03 AM
As far as I know, we haven't seen the footage for "Do It Again" in recent years until now.  The video is a bit out of sync (note Mike clapping on the 1 & 3 :) ) but ANY footage of this line up (especially in good quality!) is pure gold!!!  It also includes the first video footage I've seen of Blondie holding (if not playing) a bass, which makes me wonder what song that footage immediately followed.  I sure wish the rest of this footage would turn up (and get released!!) one day!

Get it while you can!

I think that is all the footage there is of their performance, unfortunately. The TV special was an hour long and had several other acts in it.

Yeah, this is same stuff that's been in circulation for over a decade. This is the exact edit as seen in the Good Vibrations from London TV special, no extra footage has surfaced.

Haven't seen this for a while-- awesome. Can anyone ID the person in the blue bathrobe walking up to give Elton a hug at 8:48 and then hobbling off arm in arm with him? Looks just like Keith Moon!

It is. He was there to support the Beach Boys and Sha Na Na, and Elton and Keith intro'd them both. Keith had been injured and that is why he hobbles.
