Title: Brian on the Lloyd Thaxton TV show Post by: The Song Of The Grange on May 17, 2009, 06:01:59 PM I just read in Peter Ames Carlin's Catch A Wave that Brian and Michael Vosse appeared on the Lloyd Thaxton dance show to promote Good Vibrations. According to Carlin, Brian brought a big basket of vegetables and talked about them at length.
Has anyone ever seen this footage, and does anyone know when this was shot and aired? Title: Re: Brian on the Lloyd Thaxton TV show Post by: MBE on May 17, 2009, 06:07:18 PM Wouldn't that be great to see. It's not out there and sadly probably has long been destroyed.
Title: Re: Brian on the Lloyd Thaxton TV show Post by: Ian on May 17, 2009, 06:18:24 PM Unfortunately-TV companies were very short sighted. Indeed-most local TV from the 60s is long gone. In fact, most network Variety TV is gone as well. For example: The BBs made two appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1968 (the show was taped in New York till Johnny moved to LA in 1972). I wrote to Carson Productions and was informed that they could confirm from their records that both apps happened-but that the majority of Carson footage from those years-including the two BB apps-was gone forever. Destroyed by NBC to save space or simply taped over. The David Frost Show said that the same fate befell the groups May 71 app where Dennis sang "Lady" and they also did "Vegetables".

Title: Re: Brian on the Lloyd Thaxton TV show Post by: Wrightfan on May 19, 2009, 08:29:10 AM TV networks were notorious for this with the UK being worse then the US (though that's not saying much since the US destroyed a ton)
A good example is the original version of Jeopardy with Art Fleming. 2.573 episodes were made but maybe 20 at most are still around.

At least we have the audio track for the performance of "vegetables": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voGEHP5fbU0 Cool performance, sad that the images are gone...
