What a great video! Bob Ingram (in blue on the right) is my wonderful neighbor. Shortly after I bought my little Grove bungalow, I rolled into my driveway. It was a beautiful winter day and my windows were down. I heard someone playing sweetly on the guitar on their front porch...it was Bobby. I knew then that I had picked the right house! Bobby and his wife Gay are now our dear friends.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! This s priceless, but it's sad that this is the only video of Fred available. He is obviously well into his "retirement" to Cocoanut Grove. I've been a Fred Neil fan ever since his album with Vince came out ('61?). Back then, I was checking out every new Elektra release. RIP, Fred. You were one of a kind.

Wow, after all these decades I finally get to see film of the man playing! Thanks so much for posting this. I hope the rest of this performance sees the light of day sometime.

I know he also did sets in Japan & Montreux around this era, I hope those tapes emerge sometime as well.
