Very interesting. Thank you, Joker!
I was very impressed by the way this downloaded in a timely fashion and I watched the entire thing without effort. The Beatles are the structural foundation of the spotlight. While it gives a random serving of the world of music in cross section, it does even more where the Beatles are concerned. I can't tell if they are in Abbey Road or not, but I finally realized that this must be them making a pre-recorded tape that will pay under the chop-chop 'skills' of Michael Lindsay-Hogg-Welles for the (ahem) LIVE filming of the HEY JUDE/REVOLUTION. Man, I wonder if anything from Revolution was captured on film. Here we see everyone watching Paul and George Martin is almost ready for a kip. Zzzzzzzzzz. At least George Harrison knows how to keep him awake. I can't believe the show was not aired until 1970. Ed Sullivan was about to air The Beatles Songbook on March 1(repeated on Sept. 13, 1970). That would feature The Beatles performing Two Of Us and Let It Be, both from the, then unreleased, Let It Be film. So, from NBC to CBS in a week...that was a lot of Beatles for TV and they still weren't broken up 'officially'. Things would change very quickly.
Experiment in Epitaph...
Thank you, AGAIN!!!

Great find!

You wouldn't happen to have a decent, complete version of CBS Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution, would you?

Not top notch... and perhaps somewhere on the internet a better copy.
