I saw this documentary at The Fest For Beatlefans in Chicago a few years back. There was a video room that showed this film and other rare Beatles/solo stuff. Glad to see it on YouTube. Thanks for posting this!

This is great. I wish this was available to the public on DVD or BlueRay. I knew about this, I was surprised to see John Bonham playing drums.

This is less than a month after Keith Moon's death. Moon would have been there instead of Kenney Jones. Strangely enough, Kenney wasn't in The Who just yet. By the time Paul completed this documentary, Townshend had asked Kenney to join The Who. Anyway, thanks for this jacenty841. I've always wanted to see this movie.
