Any idea where this from? Looks like a UK show to me (though I could be wrong):

Any idea where this from? Looks like a UK show to me (though I could be wrong): That is very interesting because AFAIK the New Seekers as a group were put together and launched in July 70 by a member of the original 60s Seekers group. One of the first UK shows they played was a long 'thought' wiped LWT variety series called 'Maggie's Place'. Maggie Fitzgibbon had played a popular character in the LWT WW2 thriller series 'Manhunt' and presumably LWT thought they would exploit this. If this is from Maggie's Place then it is a rare find indeed. Don't you just hate it when someone overdubs the stereo record onto an old mono studio performance? |

That's a lovely find. It would be great to know the source, The New Seekers were certainly up and running prior to 1970, albeit with a slightly different lineup to the one we are familiar with. I mentioned their first LP in another thread, as the album artwork included a photo of them performing on Thames Television in 1969: missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/12880/pop-on-thames-today-programmeSteve |

It comes from a French TV show called Deux Sur La 2 and was tx'd on 14/12/1970.
It was one of the 1st performances by the classic New Seekers line up of Eve Graham, Lyn Paul, Marty Kristian, Peter Doyle, and Paul Layton, after Laurie Heath, Chris Barrington and Sally Graham had left the group in the Summer of 1970.
I located this performance in 2012 and in December 2019 I recommended it for broadcast on 192tv.
They also performed the song on The Ed Sullivan 25th Anniversary of The United Nations celebration Show on 25/10/1970.

The Dutch studios are notorious for overdubbing music performances, BR Music and 192 both do it, they speed up and slow down the footage to sync the audio, such as this with often laughable results... linkThis is a better effort, TOTP June 1972, source is in colour... link |
