Another 'lost' clip from 1975 turns up!

[Gralto]

Now unlike my last balls up with LCW on Midnight Special 1975, I'm fairly certain that the survival of this clip was not confirmed and this has not been previously discussed on this site. On 6 March 1975, The Hollies appeared on The Eddy Go Round Show on Dutch TV. This show is notable for both The Hollies and ABBA appearing on the same ep (and at one stage, both appear sitting next to each other behind a show desk).

This was the 2nd of (at least) 3 visits to Eddy Becker's show and the only one yet to surface.

One ABBA site stated that ABBA's version of I Do I Do I Do only recently surfaced due to a private recording, indicating the show otherwise didn't survive officially and nor did any of the songs of other acts (inc The H) who also appeared. This clip would suggest - judging by it being a part of another show - that the full show may survive in a Dutch archive. Let's hope so as The Hollies also perform I'm Down and Give Me Time.

The poster appears to have overdubbed the audio from the released disc though on the original, Clarke's mike may be live and indeed, this could have a live (or pre-recorded different) lead vocal.

cheers

PS - PeterC - is this new to you as well?

This is new to me, though I knew about them appearing on the show at this time. Been on youtube over 2 years too!

Are you sure? Their performance of 'Star' from the same show has been around for some time too. Weirdly, Tony is wearing the same outfit on both shows and Allan's is remarkably similar. But 'Star' wouldn't be recorded until June 1975, so they can't be from the same show.

I included the following info in 'Channelling The Beat!':

01-02-74 – ‘The Eddy Go Round Show’: The Air That I Breathe (repeated 19-07-74)

06-03-75 – ‘The Eddy Go Round Show’: Give Me Time / I’m Down / Sandy ('Sandy' was repeated on 24-07-75, as well as broadcast on 'TopPop' on 25-07-75)

08-05-76 – ‘Eddy Go Round’: Star

Given the above info, it's quite possible that only 'Sandy' survives from the 2nd appearance, via one of the July '75 re-showings.

I'd would be nice to have a clip of Give Me Time, particularly one with live vocals given those harmonies. It's always been my favourite song on Another Night.
