Tony Williams Lifetime on Beat Club footage.

This footage exists
https://youtu.be/cNfy3Urhtsc?feature=shared
After years of the only known clip being the band in the opening titles.
& a 30 second clip of the abrupt end of the performance followed by the presenter saying something vabout band behaviour in German.
There is now nearly 10 minutes of the band with Jack Bruce playing.

Not sure what story is. Like why it has suddenly reappeared.

May be more to follow. People have suggested there may be more performance unreleased but they were definitely made to stop at some point.

I think people were talking about the clip on here several years ago so thought I'd add the link.
It is seen by many as a bit of a grail item.
I posted that the day after the footage appeared on youtube.
So yeah may as well ignore it.

I saw this for the first time the day i saw the earlier Lifetime performance. It was linked to from the video of the 1971 Montreux performance of the later all black line up of Lifetime

Which is here

And is much better than I remembered it from 10 years or so ago when it appeared as a torrent on a few torrent sites.
Seems to be more trancey and has more players creating the sound but is worth a listen.

Thanks for posting this, Stevo. I suspect the lack of a reply doesn't mean that people are ignoring it, just not commenting. Things are quite sluggish round here these days.

Not usually my thing but I get the historical importance of the find so watched it and was quietly impressed. I was interviewing Charles Hayward this week and he made reference to it as well.

Also good to see you posting on here again, Stevo. I hope you're well.
