Hi John ,thanks for your memories on all these pop performances ,do you happen to have any memories of the dancing ladies the gojos or pans people that did a great job of covering the current singles on totp ,or any memories of lift off etc. The only one I can think of is my friends recollection of Dave (Mike ?) Berry c. 1965 for 'little things'. That had a group of girls behind making actions to the song. It could have been a reused U.S. show clip though.

It was UK footage shown on the Rock n Roll Years and the backing vocalists complete with their spotty skirts were non other than the Ladybirds. Not sure that it was from TOTP though.

The promo on 'rock and roll greatest years' VHS is the one I've seen. That prompted my friend to recall another appearance as described for TOTP. That was c. 1990.
Mention now I heard the O'Jays record 'Backstabbers' on the radio today. That reminded me of another Pans People appearance I forgot to mention, dancing to this song. I tend to mix the memory up with that for 'Armed and extremely dangerous' by First Choice.
Guess both those records were out in a similar period. Can't recall any specific visuals but it's another lost Pans People performance for the list.

It's possible the Dave Berry existing promo was the one used on TOTP and he was thinking of another U.K. show at that time.
I.E. 'thank your lucky stars'.
Mix ups do happen. I think the U.S. show Wayne and Shuster ( ? ); correct title ?; may have been the source of the 'Boots were made' clip I thought was TOTP. Looks very close to it. I thought there was also a version on 'The Nancy Sinatra show' which BBC1 ran on Saturdays in 1968.
Can only recall the titles of the show. I thought it used 'My Beautiful Balloon' as the theme tune. It had Nancy standing on the top turret of a Castle I thought was on the edge of a high mountain. Like Switzerland but not snowy, green and trees around. The camera panned out from her wearing a white plastic mackintosh. Maybe it was yellow in colour.
There may have been a hot air balloon in the titles also, shot on film.

It has a series of shots of Steve Winwood in a flowered shirt from different angles; faded and mixed over each other.

It's probably been covered but an audio reel for an August 1968 TOTP exists. It features Tom Jones but think also the Beach Boys.
It was believed this was the original sound mag reel for a missing vision one.

It could have been "Movin With Nancy" an hour long show with My Beautiful Balloon as the theme song i believe she does a brilliant version of "Some Velvet Morning" with Lee Hazlewood not sure if it's on this show or not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bydSevpkXQ0

Thanks John for your reply ,yes I remember seeing the Dave berry clip you are on about but it definitely wasn't ant totp dancing ladies ,I seem to think it came from an American show,did you mean that you remember pans people dancing to armed and extremely dangerous or that you remember the first choice performance on totp,many thanks.

I don't recall an actual performance for armed and extremely dangerous. That was Pans people. It was sometime in 1973. I do recall Linda Lewis performing 'Rock a Doodle Doo'; another black female artist from around then.
Think she was live, she pulled a pouting face for the low register voice at the start then adopted a smiling face for the later high voice. Almost like two different vocalists. An afro hairdo. Background dark. It was VT but can't recall the TOTP audience being there.

Thanks, I think you're correct. Not sure what the shots of the high castle thing at the start was though.

i.e. - I think the castle show must have been another show from same period. BBC1 broadcast it though and probably a Saturday.

Background dark. It was VT but can't recall the TOTP audience being there. Linda sang the song twice on TOTP, once (miming) acoustic, the other electric. Her vocals were live, though and she did play guitar on the record (people occasionally forget she wrote the song, you know.). Both performances were wiped by the BBC, but the second exists in the PVL collection. She mimed to the electric, rather than the acoustic the second time, at the suggestion of her future husband Jim Cregan, who suggested it was 'a bit more rock'n'roll'.

Linda is still gigging and playing a few gigs near me in the Surrey/Hampshire borders. At the last one, she mentioned me by name during the gig!!!! (last person who did that during a gig was Chesney Hawkes).

Interested to hear about the surviving clip. What's the PVL collection?
