Thanks Alan. If it is TOTP, that means they only performed it twice then Alan, if what you are saying that one was a repeat performance! Could this narrow the field down even more. Something tells me that this could very well be a Top of the pops performance. Who else were performing in the studio, on the two shows in question? Thanks again.

Iv'e just found out the Small Faces performed Tin Soldier live on BBC TWICE A FORTNIGHT [10TH DECEMBER 1967]. So the clip could well come from this show.Its my guess that this is where its from ,of course i could be wrong but i reckon it is.

After watching the Who's I can see for miles on twice a fortnight i have to say i'm still unsure about the Small faces clip ive watched it about twenty times trying to find out little clues but can't be certain about where it comes from.

Judging by the video effects used in this and The Who Twice A Fortnight clip, the style is similar, Alan. I wonder what sort of arrangement the German company would have had as regards using a BBC clip just as background to another artist? If they had to pay for it to be used in this way, you'd have thought they'd want to make the most of the clip (i.e. use it in it's own right). In that sense, it would make more sense to get the band to film a clip themselves so they owned it. But...the visual style is reminiscent of TAF.

What i would really like to know now is does this clip survive complete somewhere in germany perhaps , and is there any way of finding out ?

Would think to first ask the broadcaster in question here.Would suggest if someone here who may have available contacts into german TV broadcasting and archival collections.Other than that,can't really think of another option at present.Now asking the question if any member with contacts in the area of German broadcasting may look into this fascinating prospect,as well as the recent Jethro Tull 1969 German doc totp clip.As like many here would be most interested in learning further into the possible chances that further footage may exist from these performances.Fingers crossed!
Cheers,Lance.
