Thanks for posting those links. Nice to be able to see more of that footage though it's ashamed that the quality is so poor.

That video game noise is really annoying. Unforturnate, that.

Yeah, the footage cries out for some digital restoration...it's actually quite touching to see the look on John's face when he says "...would you be surprised by your brother, since 15..." that whole bit....

I know we've all said it a million times....what a bloody awful awful loss....

It was quite surprising to see that John was familiar with the 2 versions of "Coming Up"
He knew one was recorded in a barn and the other one live in Glasgow and that the record company pushed the live on.

Yes, that was interesting. He obviously really paid attention to what the lads were doing, particularly his old partner
