Minus sound this is utter madness O.o

[BuridansEsel1]

no sound???

[MowgliX]

Wow, thanks! I wonder if there is a complete version somewhere in the vaults of the American TV companies? Did they keep things like this back then? Did they realize it will all be precious historic documents?

[Rottenhaus]

@MowgliX

Unlikely it was kept-film was trashed and magnetic tape was erased and reused as a matter of course during that time. Even NASA did it: magnetic tape of Apollo 11 was erased and used for recording satellite info.

[MowgliX]

@Rottenhaus Oh yeah, that's terrible. The BBC did it too. They reused tape and also recycled film because of the silver content, according to legend anyway. Or maybe they just threw it away as you say. It's a crying shame.

HEROINE!!!!!!!!!

[owsleythebear]

I wish I'd been in that room

[MowgliX]

@owsleythebear I wish I could be a time traveling fly or some other insect, sit on the wall in there, and enjoy the show.

[gnowave]

dam, what a shame! bbc aint helping by not releasing this! if released, even for free, it would create much interest etc, and we all know the script....

[james23678]

any know what song they played and how to get audio mabye?

[msturdy]

@james23678 I believe they're playing Heroin. Sadly this clip has never surfaced with the original sound.

[rockonhard77]

@msturdy i don't think it was "Heroin". It was never played with a bass.

[PreCodeMovies]

LOL at the get-up they stuck on Maureen Tucker!

[VIDEOFREAK076]

awesome clip. I did a search for this the other day and found nothing. Do you know where I might find the Seven Ages Of Rock show?

[notsovelvet]

Youtube has it.

Search Seven Ages of Rock - Velvet Underground and there it is.

[SadLisa777]

Crazy way to live like!

[adastra213]

absolutely not, and I spent every day working for him over a period of 18 months 1966=7=8. Sometimes A-heads reek with an acrid smell but Andy was no amphetamine addict--his doctor prescribed Obertrol
