@mundi67 The studio version is on PH7 (from Fall 1979), but was on VDG's live album Vital which came out summer or fall 1978-- recorded at the Marquee about 6 months before this video.
Un temazo que no pensé encontraría. Ser y tiempo, ser y la nada, antes que el hidrógeno y el helio. ¿Es posible una canción escatológica? Ciertamente que sí.
This is as irrelevent as is the new 3 piece without Jaxon. Rumour has it that Jax was pissed off with behind the scenes management/touring etc and that's why it's now just the 3. Bad mistake guys... and esp that guy who has made loads of solo albums thinking he was the was biz and not the other guys.
i have seen the new 3 piece without jaxon and i can tell you that along with the new arrangements its the most intense vdgg incarnation so far, much more intense than vital even. It does not have the historical importance of the 2005 reunion but its much better technically and musically. BTW banton covers almost all of jaxon´s parts.
This was a part of a German documentary of the festival. As you can see due to my bad cut, the show also includes an interview with Hammill.
I'll upload another clip in the next couple of days.
This is (almost) the only known footage which was not officially released. The other footage is a clip of Wondering from 1976, but the quality is so bad i didn't upload it (good quality copy cannot be found).
This is (along with the other footage from this live performance) THE most important upload on all of YouTube... in my humble opinion.
... so rare to have film footage of this final incarnation of VDGG... if only there was more

Is that Hugh Potter as well? He has been pretty much been whitewashed out of the VDGG history in my humble...

@drum2000 Nic (!) Potter. Great rumble bass player-- of course he was only in VDGG in 69-70 and 77-78.

litzlitz, is there anymore of this footage available?
This is like the Zapruder film for Van Der Graaf buffs like myself. This is astounding footage. I wish there was more. Thank you for posting.

maybe it's because he never intended to be a "singer-songwriter". and indeed he never was.
he also doesn't like associating himself with any of the genres (e.g. progressive rock).

Check out the booklet from The Box, this performance is the last ever by Van der Graaf. Makes it even more special

Where on earth did you find this? This is the first footage I've ever seen of the Van der Graaf Line up. Any more?
