hmmmmmmmmmmm was this a performance they had to do due to contract after the loss of their great singer?.sad story, but CHips here aint doing it, looks like he's mentally struggling so i wont make a harsh remark, for these people all deserved much better than they all ended up getting, fukkkkin music biz anyways, ruined thousands of lives.while the "man" gets rich,and race had nothing to do with it, for all did the same thing to the musicians/writers who did the real work and were the talent!
I agree, Badfinger was way to good for this kind of Schlock kind of low budget kind of circus show! I look at Toms face, and looks as though he's embarressed.
Dislike only because I hate to see how the great Badfinger were used & humiliated during this time for other's monetary gain. May those who did this to Badfinger rot.
This is a brilliant song. Simply put, Paul McCartney was a musical genius in 1969. Somewhere down the road, he lost it. I wish I could go back to 1969 and force him to write song after song right there.
I wish he could have hung on through the hard times. But I remember back then everything was disco fever and he must have felt crushed by the changes in music. Oh, Lordy. So sad.
Not long...1983. It was the Milwaukee experience and particularly low points like this that sunk Evans into an all time low resulting in his eventual sad suicide.
@johnny10301968 No apparent reason! She doesn't seem too interested in the music either. Eye candy perhaps? What bothered me was that crazy drunk of a host! It was almost as if he was mocking the band.
Read the book "Without You" to get the full story here. It is a great clip but sad at certain points when you know what bob & tom were going through at this time with their managment. Bless their hearts.. I love you guys Pete, Tom, Mike & Bob..
Is this one of the last televised appearances of Tom Evans? He hung himself this year if I'm not mistaken. Wonder how the dancing girl got in this one, great video.
There is only one original member still alive (Joey Molland) but he's not in this video. Tom Evans who is singing here killed himself not long after this and the drummer Mike GIbbons died a few years ago from natural causes.

Mike looks (understandably) MEGA pissed off at 1:39. Looks like he wants to shove the (gross) eye candy up the clowns arse. Pity he didn't do it!

brookesaunders: I believe Tom Evans actually hanged himself in 1983. I think it was on November 17th of that year. I'm not 100% sure though.
