My Holy Grail would be to get a hand on the presumably destroyed video tape of the Den Haag concert 1969 (which I saw on Dutch television at the time), which was partly included on Roughage 69.

That would be my "Holy Grail" too. And I've seen what I consider pretty good information that a copy does still exist, though it's not in "circulation". Hopefully one of these days we'll get to hear it.

Peter gave his wife a copy of the Munich tape...So it should be out there somwhere, maybe it will surface one day? I mean, live tapes of Jimi Hendrix are still being discovered.

I've heard that a second copy of the tape exists (maybe more?), and that a fan sent Peter a copy of this tape a few years ago. So there's still hope that it may get out into circulation some day.

It's interesting that nobody chose the actual Holy Grail as his or her personal holy grail!

Sod the actual Holy Grail - the Munich tape is way more important than that

I wouldn't dream of messing around with Monty Python. As a matter of fact, Peter told me to "Stop messin' around" long ago.

Me too

I was at the Warehouse that January. I saw Mick, John, Jeremy, Danny
and Peter. Since their co/stars (The Dead) got busted for drugs (BIG SURPRISE

) I got to see Pete and the boys 2 more times that weekend. The Grail? Those beautifull long haired granny dressed women
that waited for them backstage. I was 21 at the time. I'm sure Christine
and Jenny were there.

That would be the greatest thing in the world for me.

I'd like such a live version even more with Bob Weston on banjo and of course someone to play the harmonica parts!
I've always liked 'The Derelict' ever since I bought "Penguin" in 1982.

Either the Munich Acid Tape or The Complete End of the Game Sessions... Think about it.... A 4 CD set of the whole all night jam session.

What's this "either" stuff - why not both!

Wonder if the original tapes of the End of the Game sessions still exist though? Someone needs to go through the Reprise vaults and dig around!

Yeah, maybe we should start a petition! Might not work though? The label
Rhino are very good at compiling those type of compilations, Reprise/Warner themselves seldom bother.

Remember, people present at the sessions say that the best stuff didn't get on the album...

In terms of my Holy Grail, there isn't much left on it. I guess full concerts from the "Penguin" and MTM groups are really all I need, at least in terms of boots. For years, the two things I really wanted were FG/BT era boots and Buckingham Nicks boots. Now, I've got some, so...

Jeremy's first "solo" album (really, a Fleetwood Mac album) would be nice, but I'm not paying $80 for the damn thing! Same goes for "Head West Featuring Bob Welch" or either of the first two solo albums from Bob Weston (which he hardly remembers!).
