I don't know a thing about this particular performance, but there's a lot of old TV video that we know about from various sources but has never been seen since the original broadcast.

Oh, I know.

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?

Is there a video from a Danny Kirwan song from this performance? We've discussed that the "Woman Of 1000 Years" clip is fake - it's just edited from the "Lay It All Down" clip, with audio from a different performance.

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

I would, at least from a sales/marketing perspective.

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.
