A treat for Thomas Walsh, Adam Smith and many others I know - some new extended footage of the Move in 1966 courtesy of the late, great Peter Whitehead: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6qG8BaG3Qg |

Well this is amazing stuff Peter, thanks so much! It's silent but the picture quality is excellent. Some very interesting shots esp at the end: looks like Bev taking the mic and is that Carl playing a Danelectro guitar? The shots of the audience are great too.
I'm not a huge expert on Whitehead's work, and I was wondering what this footage was shot for? Potential material for 'Tonite Lets All Make Love In London' that ended up not being used? I'm also curious about this Whitehead Move interview which I only found on Youtube recently and how it relates to this footage: it's lo res, monochrome and cuts out midway through Roy Wood starting to speak, and I had been wondering given Whitehead was definitely shooting in colour on other stuff in 1966 whether a higher res, polychromatic and complete version might be out there, this new colour live footage suggests it's likely:

I think it raw footage from Tonite. I had thought it had all been mined by Kinolibrary but it appears not. Their other recent Whitehead uploads are worth a gander too.

Great footage  Looks like whoever filmed it was just stopping and starting the camera every few seconds, so I suppose syncing it to the original soundtrack (if it even exists) would be near impossible. I'm amazed how clean cut they all are! Whenever I read about The Move playing live during this period it's all bout televisions being smashed on stage and other outrageous antics. Could it be that there was a degree of hype involved in such stories? They obviously were a band known for publicity stunts after all (e.g. the notorious No. 10 postcard incident.) |

Stunning!! They did the smashing up nonsense when it suited. Pretty choreographed I'd expect with Secunda at the helm. Yes it does look like Carl playing guitar which is a revelation in many ways and we see that Bev's guest slot up to the mic didn't start in E.L.O. Pretty emotional find. 💚

Although credited as 'Move performing in pub' - is that not the Marquee Club? I recognise the striped canopies over the stage, which can also be seen on the footage of Jimi Hendrix taped by Beat Club.

Watched it a few times now but still can't guess what the songs might be.

Watched it a few times now but still can't guess what the songs might be. At the time they may still have playing the covers of soul and r&b songs that had been in the group's sets in the Cedar Club in Birmingham prior to their move down to London. |

Beautiful to see. Is the out of sync deliberate? Like an audio watermark?

Shame yes. It doesn't look like more than a minute of audio matches the film, the rest of the audio doesn't match the rest of the film. Haven't seen this before. |

More of that interview with extra dancing footage is on YouTube in black and white and perfectly in sync.
