Best moment?

This.

Very funny that Otway clip- he also messes up "Wild Willy"'s guitar connection who looks none too chuffed by his antics! My favourites are also Focus- great musicians and Thijs Van Leer is brilliantly eccentric. Bill Withers (Ain't No Sunshine & Use Me), with the drummer who at first seems as if he's constantly smiling, though it also looks as if he's showing off his new gold tooth! Curtis Mayfield- a class act and got me into his music. Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge, in a very intimate performance with their band behind them thinking "Get a room"! Alice Cooper doing a geat performance shortly into the first series. The Who making fun of the fact they had to mime on Relay (they hated miming but their gear was too big to fit in the studio), especially Keith Moon pulling faces and constantly whacking cymbals that aren't present on most of the soundtrack! These are just some of them for me, can't find really single out just one.

Seeing my fave metal band Judas Priest when Rob Halford had long hair and wore flowing satin robes rather than leather and studs!

Whispering Bob trashing Roxy Music before they played, followed by Roxy Music trashing old Bob by their performance.

Jools Holland's car blocking the enterance joke falling flat on its face.

But best of all, Elton John, Randy Newman, David Bowie, Judee Sill, Joan Armatrading, Little Feet, Roxy Music, Average White Band, Japan, Tubeway Army, The Wailers, Tom Waits, The Specials, Talking Heads, Blondie and Iggy Pop reminding us just how great they actually were.

I liked B.B. King's two song set, When It All Comes Down and Hold On. Plus Freddie King's Boogie Funk. Both on Volume 3. Magical

Actually all 3 DVDs had great highlights. Now only if someone had done a better job with evening out the audio, The Old Grey Whistle Test videos would be more of a treasure. What was up with the barely hearable whispering segments between acts? It was ridiculous.

No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Possibly arguable use of the word "best" but certainly the most poignant, and as far as I know never seen since, is the interview with Paul Kossoff a few weeks before his death. My friend and I laughed uproariously, saying "He's stoned, man!"

In those days when the only music news we got was from the NME or its rivals once a week (and with the occasional bulletin on OGWT) we had no idea how serious Koss' problem was and that he was, in fact, very sick. He slouched in his chair and slurred his way unintelligibly through the interview - really cool, we thought, until a few weeks later.
