I saw this on ITV back in the early 80's around Christmas on my b&w tv but missed the start, however I slammed a video on the recorder and it's now one of my most prized possessions. There's a few solos by Colin and Alexis is great too. I keep meaning to burn it to DVD but the rest is just as good, I'll try to get some of it done now I have a HDD recorder and upload it for your joy and delight! BTW it has the ads from the time with Slade in one of them - it's really funny to look back on!

I've got a 50 minute movie of this gig(minus the adverts) which went out under the title of 'Individual Voices'. Managed to rescue it just in time from an old video tape, the quality aint great but its classic piece of musical history, and features Colin in amazing form (probably one of the most underrated players ever). Ya never know some kind soul may release the show on dvd, if it still exists....fingers crossed eh ?

Working as a music journalist in 1973, I can remember a review stating that Colin Hodgkinson was "the man the Fender bass had been waiting for...for twenty years". Of course Hodgkinson was and IS a fantastic virtuoso bass player, and this was years before Victor Wooten appeared on the scene. Thank you so MUCH for posting this cool memory from Camden :-)

What a talented musician. Great voice, playing, ideas, compositions, vision. He has a Lot going for him.

First thing I ever recorded on my new rented !! VHS recorder back in the 80's. Played it till the tape finally wore out. Just hope they release it on DVD. Has to be one of the finest Colin and Alexis (et al) sessions ever to make it to TV. They used to have real music on TV back then..

"Back Door" by Back Door blew away Miles and the Jazz world when it was released in the States. Stunning stuff!

I know Stanley Clarke is a big fan of Colins ,and some people say he ripped a few licks from Colin, but thats just music.

The first gig I ever went to was Alexis Korner and Colin Hodgkinson in Leigh in around 1980 or 1981. Superb!

lining track was on a series called alternative voices and was with alexis korner.

It was years and years ago. I too wrecked the tape. What about the chunky drummer?? Line the track or whatever it's called was my favourite from Colin. King BEE BEE was the one that made me laugh the most. Anyone know where I can get a copy of that show on dvd?
