The (eBay) HBO Studio Productions VHS Tape (1988)

This tape contains a 30 minute special on Otis Redding called "Remembering Otis" which combined performance footage and recollections by Steve Cropper and Booker T. Jones. It was made by D. A. Pennebaker.

The second film featured on the tape is a 37 minute rough cut of John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band's 1969 performance in Toronto. A film that was also shot by D. A. Pennebaker.

The John Lennon Totonto film was to run under the title "Cinemax Vintage Performances: John Lennon". HBO was the parent company of Cinemax.

Both videos are included in this download.

This might be a different audio mix! I haven't watched the VHS for ages, but I don't recall Yoko "performing" throughout the first two songs, and I thought I heard Eric trying to talk loud to Klaus during Dizzy Miss Lizzie. No reverb on John's vocals as shown on the Youtube clips of the tape. Didn't compare the visual yet. Any thoughts?

Thanks cliftdean74, generous share!

I ripped the audio into split, flattened, normalized mono:

PS: It's funny to watch Yoko out of the whole band with lyric sheets...
