Woman of a Thousand Years Live
Several months ago, I was floored to see a live video of the band playing Lay it All Down on British television in 1971. Someone has now posted Woman of a Thousand Years from that same appearance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_ZHn...eature=related It's a great performance by Kirwan and the rest of the band. Apparently, Christine also played Show Me a Smile in that micro-set. If someone out there has it PLEASE post it. PLEASE! I've been looking for it for years and years. |
No, I'm afraid this is not a real TV performance. The audio on this is a live bootleg recording from Sindelfingen, Germany 1972.
They've just cut and mixed the video footage from "Lay It All Down" (Beat Club 1971) to fit the music. |
Good catch. I think there is a TV performance somewhere of SMAS though (but I'm guessing it's from a US TV show) because I think Stevie was quoted in the Samuel Graham book about what she new about FM before she joined and she said she remembered seeing them do SMAS on TV and she thought it was nice Christine was in the band or something like that. So hopefully that will surface someday for it's historical value. :)

I've always figured there must be a lot more old video of the band that is just sitting around someplace. - where is it? |

I'm still wishing I could see that Show Me a Smile tv performance. I remember Stevie mentioning it in that book, too. |

My understanding is that they supposedly played "Show Me A Smile" at this particular taping. It would make sense in that each singer would do a song. However, I find it odd that the only two songs from this taping that have been released on DVD and are up on YouTube are the ones featuring Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch on lead vocals. No disrespect to those guys (as I love them and those songs dearly), but wouldn't it make more sense that the song by the biggest star between the three (Christine) have been out by now? |

I would not expect "make more sense" to have the slightest bearing on whether a video clip shows up on the web. |

Ah, Dragonfly. I'd always assumed those were from different performances but you're right, SteveMacD - clearly from the same one. I'd never watched both back to back before. Thanks for pointing that out.
