Parts of this have been posted before on YouTube (Lost
& Killer) but from 10:07 forward, there's footage of the band playing
Octopus (which I don't believe has been posted before). It's the kind of
avant-garde, psychotic madness that VdGG was (in)famous for at the time. All at
once, you can see why some regarded them as geniuses and most others were left
going "huh?" I personally think it's brilliant... |

*jaw drops*
 Incredible footage and pretty good quality for early 70's live TV; most likely slightly refined and edited. Wow, Guy is a monster on those drums playing some pretty challenging rhythms and Hugh's playing and Hammond tone are pristine. Thanks for sharing! |

No, but I will be flying out a week later to see them in NYC. But even if I was going to be at NF, I only have my one copy of The Book! I wish I had some to give out/sell, but all remaining copies are in England (and I'm in Chicago). The only way to buy it is through the VdGG website.
