I recently watched the 'Elton at 60' DVD and the extas included a Top of the Pops performance of 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' dated Nov 1, 1973. The caption prior to the performance stated this was a clip which had been missing since 1991.
Would be interested to know if this was found within the BBC archive, or if it existed in the BBC archive prior to 1991. None of the websites which list these kind of things seem to acknowledge this as being an existing performance.

If it had been lost, it was definitely back at the BBC by 1997, as TOTP2 showed it (and again in 2001 as stated on the previous thread).

this is the clip uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3FRw39gGauAwhats more important is the source of this clip, i believe the whole edition of this particular TOTP is missing. The quality of this clip is excellent and it would be great if the rest of the show existed somewhere and could be recovered |

If this clip is from a full edition then these would be the other performances from that show.
ELO-Showdown (rpt)
Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Marmalade-Our House Is Rocking'
Mud-Dynamite
Suzi Quatro-Daytona Demon
Osmonds - Let me in (rpt)
anyone know what was the source for 'GYBR'?

interesting, how many of those performances are missing? i assume that if some of them are repeats they could have survived in another edition

ELO-Showdown (rpt) (exists from 11th Oct 73)
Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (survives from the DVD)
Marmalade-Our House Is Rocking' (missing)
Mud-Dynamite (missing)
Suzi Quatro-Daytona Demon (missing)
Osmonds - Let me in (rpt) (missing)
Could the BBC's listing for the 11th Oct 73 be wrong.
It says 'Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Promo)'. Is it possible that this was an actual performance.Does anyone have this edition and confirm that it was indeed a 'promo' ?

I tend to think this was recorded as an insert for the 01/11/73 show as the osmonds track was also, and thats how it survives.
not to be confused with the 11/10/73 which is a promo and that show survives in full (501st show)
