yeah, throughout there seems to be minimal featuring of Red's work...for both of his solos during Nous Ensmble (sp? lol) or Did She Mention => Nothing shown at all....bizzare...and most disappointing is the absence of focus on Red for those CRT fills

the BBC productions I've seen with other artists have bee top notch in every respect so that's the only reason I'm a bit let down and also because Red 'lick' footage is so hard to come by...on the other hand, for bassists, tons of wonderful Rick finger work featured

the footage of Gord unbelievable...as is his vocal work...he seems comfy in front of TV to me...as hangdog says, why not release the 1973 Soundstage? perhaps he's waiting for a posthumous release, which would bring be wise from a business perspective, i suppose...agh...i suppose i can wait... long live Gord
