I am sorry if this was answered before, but I was wondering if there are any videos of Love You songs performed live. I know they used to play things like Love is a woman, Airplane, Roller Skating Child or Honkin' Down the Highway but can't find anything other than audios (actually there is a concert on youtube - Largo, Maryland, January 21st 1977 - but the audio is out of sync and the second part is completely mute). Do you guys know of any video? Thank you!

The Largo '77 show is about it, outside of videos of solo Brian performances.

There may be some other pro-shot stuff from the late 70s in the BRI vaults that contains a "Love You" song here and there, but I think Largo '77 is about it as far as circulating video of BB shows.

"Honkin'.." was not often performed even in 1977, but it was done at Central Park in '77, so there maybe some news footage of the song since there are some TV news reports from that day.

Oh, I see. Thank you so much.  And do you happen to know if it is available in any format? Maybe on DVD? The youtube version, as I said, is out of sync - I could actually resync it, but the problem is the part with no audio at all.

It's definitely "out there", with correct audio. Unofficially of course.

However, even most circulating copies of the show from the old VHS days cut off the first several songs, presumably to fit it all on a regular 120 min. videotape back in the day. So most versions start with "California Saga" as I recall, but it should open with Cal. Girls.

Thank you again! I'll try to look for it, then. If it's "out there", there is still hope =)

Brian performed "Love is a woman" solo on SNL:
