This is an a very rare movie called "DISK-O-TEK HOLIDAY" circa 1964. This includes an even rarer video appearance by the Vagrants. Check out Leslie West, at the ripe age of 19, (44 years ago!) and the Vagrants perform "Oh,Those Eyes"

This movie was released in the UK under the name "Discotheque Holiday". Yet another title has been used internationally "Just for You"

  • Listening to this again, I find it stunning that anyone 19 would care this much for tone. And the tone sends chills down my spine every time I listen to that solo.

    Leslie was a rare breed. The best guitar tone man. He belongs in the R&R Hall of Fame for no other reason.

  • Young Leslie....man boob draped fetchingly over his guitar...gives us a glimpse of his future greatness!

    Cool retro clip, Depp! Thanks for sharing!

  • Rotflmao - Yeah I'm sure to get an email over this one... Leslie must be hiding in the closet!! :) But, we must all start somewhere, and how many of us are lucky enough to get their FIRST big break on the silver screen :)

  • COOLNESS - the beginnings of the King of Tone !!

  • Since everyone here is a fan, maybe someone can help me with a 22 year old dilemma. I was stationed in Japan back in '90 and saw a laser disc of West playing against a white backdrop. The song did nothing for me, but the solo at the end of the song was THE BEST I"VE EVER HEARD!

    I asked the store owner if he could play it back. He said no. Does anyone know which concert/performance this was?

  • @depper What kind of guitar is West playing here? 12 string? ?

  • If Leslie West or Mountain isn't in the rock-n-roll hall of fame somebody needs to be hung out and dried for the vultures to pick apart,seeing as Leslie could pick apart a guitar.Pun wasn't intended until I realized it .LOL!

  • This movie is more like from '66 or '67 not '64. Thanks for posting though. Poor Leslie, he must have felt so self-conscious in those duds!

  • Bella, Bellzouki 12 string by Vincent Bell for Danelectro

  • Leslie West, Steve Winwood, Carole King--any other examples--starting to cook up something in their late teens, although West wouldn't enter the spotlight for several more years.

  • @depper Holy shut depper! This is huge! And so is Leslie. These guys were so freggin great years ahead of their time! In fact I have to compare this band to mid to late 70's punk

  • Too good Dep!!

  • @gbrycki

    lol @man boob
