Eric here from Sydney Australia,I guess someone answered my prayers(Steve Binder thank you) since I picked up my DVD copy yesterday and watched it last night.What a revelation! So much clearer than my blurry bootleg video and so clear you can see Terri Garr and Toni Basil are 2 of the dancers !!! Even Glenn Campbell(in the house band)is plain to see clapping and laughing when James Brown does the splits in front of him.
It is just the greatest rock concert film,now especially the Beach Boys are back in it(and boy Dennis could drum!)
This film is greatly loved and to see it so clearly is a treat,there must be kids(like John Landis) who were there on the night and I just hope some of them are still around to buy this and see themselves in the audience being a part of rock history.And to see Jan and Dean skateboard past the Whiskey-a-Go-Go and hear the incredible songs played by Hal Blaine and the house band shows you what a magical time it must have been.
It's been almost 30 years since this blew my mind at the movies and now to have it is just so great.I shall be passing my DVD copy around to all my friends to show them what a classic it is.Steve Binder,you are a genius.
