Bowie live in 1970 plus Anthony Phillips/John Mayhew era Genesis.....  A major find one would think, and the quality of the watermarked clips on show is fantastic!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDeOtQCr5SET. |

Isn't the Bowie clip from the same show that footage was used from in a VH-1 Special a while ago?

That is an interesting find. Is it a new recovery or something that existed all along though? The quality looks like it's very good on the original. Presumably it's complete sets? I wonder who shot it / would own the rights now?

Rumour had it that the Bowie clip on VH-1 came from someone in The Hype.

That footage looks great, David Bowie singing Memory of a Free Festival from one of his best albums (Space Oddity 1969) and early Genesis performing Looking for someone & The Knife from in my opinion their best album, Trepass from 1970.
If you pop on some decent Sennheiser's and listen to the drumming on the track 'Looking for Someone' you will be quite impressed as would you with the stereo seperation on the track 'Stagnation'.  "This is the Atomic Sunrise Festival gig which was filmed both privately and professionally as well as being 8-track sound recorded as well. Genesis were first on the bill opening for both Hawkwind and a pre-Glam David Bowie.
The private footage is - or was - owned by a guy called Adrian Everett who tried to sell it to Hit & Run Music several years ago for an extortionate amount of money allegedly. The whereabouts of the pro-shot film and soundtrack are as yet unknown. An intriguing two minute audio segment of Stagnation which may be from this gig was found on a tape in Anthony Phillips' tape archive several years ago but a definitive provenance for it is currently unavailable as the tape was not labelled properly)".

Do you know who / what company shot the pro footage, Nic? Was it for TV or cinema screening or something else? From the quality, it looks like this clip is taken from it anyway.

Not sure of the company that shot the professional footage. There's a lot of early Genesis available on DVD now from Belgian & French TV appearances (the Gabriel era) with the band performing tracks such as Supper's Ready, The Musical Box, and The Fountain of Salmacis. www.muziekweb.nl/shared/cat/ti/index.php?tnr=JK150737 |

A really nice clip - is there a lot of missing Bowie or is he generally well-represented in the archives?

Both!
There are quite a few Bowie clips in existence - a lot of promos, and the ubiquitous Starman from TOTP, plus Top Pop 74, the Marc show footage, the OGWT from '72 (check out the outtake on youtube, I mentioned here on Missing Episodes), even his 'Luv' ice cream commercial from '68, plus Love You Till Tuesday/the Looking Glass Murders.
But there are lots of things missing too - Space Oddity performances from '69, the Jean Genie from TOTP, the '45' performance of the same song are very good examples of missing DB.

What's missing from the Marc show? I assume you mean the episode where Marc falls off the stage after talking to Bowie (was it the last one to be filmed in the season?). I thought all the episodes of that series were shown in their entirety on Granada Plus a while back?

I think you misunderstood my post.
The FIRST paragraph lists stuff KNOWN to exist (including the Marc Shows - shown on the Granada Plus channel, and released in full on a DVD set in Japan).
The SECOND paragraph lists things missing. :-)

The clip of Bowie grinning after Marc fell off the stage is when the cameras stopped filming.
Incidentally, the version of Heroes broadcast was a newly-recorded backing track, and features Bolan and the '77 T Rex line-up backing Bowie.

"Space Oddity" exists from Swiss TV (Hits a Gogo) from November 1969 in very good quality black & white. His best performance of "Heroes" by far is from the Dutch show "Toppop" from 1977 where he also is presented with a gold disc from presenter Ad Visser.  |
