Good Day, A Film by Jay Tuck featuring Nektar

Hamburg. This amazing youth film was the birth of very successful media careers. It was the very first film with rock band Nektar, shortly after their founding in Hamburg, Germany in 1970. It was created at a time when music videos were uncommon and MTV as yet unfounded. The audio was recorded in the cellar practice rooms of a German youth club with the plastic crystal microphone of a Philips cassette recorder. The visuals were filmed with borrowed 16mm windup cameras from Haus der Jugend Stintfang in Hamburg. At the time, Nektar dreamed of becoming rock stars and young American filmmaker Jay Tuck dreamed of becoming a television producer. Both dreams came true.

Nektar? Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooool! I love so much

[slippymartin]

OK, I don't understand this. Is this Nektar from recent years doing a cover of U2's "Beautiful Day," or is this Nektar from the seventies and U2 should be sued because they ripped off Nektar's song almost exactly?

It's another great Nektar song!
