I've watched Albert Hall twice in two days on Netflix. I think the Oakland Coliseum TV doc was much better. Only because there was no history lesson. It was about that one concert and had lots of current interview clips and full length(?) performances of songs. There was Booker T & MGs - Time Is Tight from concert...and a bit of the jam session on Saturday night at Cosmo's Factory featuring the two bands together(Steve Cropper and John Fogerty...turn it UP). I had taped the Oakland doc on cassette and when the LIVE IN EUROPE LP was released in 1973 I realized that the audio was the same as the cassette I had recorded off of the TV. Anyhoo, The segment of Green River on The Andy Williams Show was new to me. Also, I never knew that they played that many European cities. The Oakland Concert documentary was on YouTube about five years ago. I was able to capture it but it was lost in an External hard drive when it was dropped. Since then, I can't find it. Otherwise, this is an average overview that will have to do. There is obviously other stuff that we still haven't seen. That alone saves this documentary from being a last gasp. I didn't even know they played Woodstock until the performance got released three(?) years ago. They were the biggest thing around when Cosmo's Factory and Pendulum were released. Then, oblivion. What a bummer!
So, WHERE Is the REAL audio?
Calling Saul Zaentz!

Unfortunately Netflix in my territory doesn't feature the Travelin' Band (Royal Albert Hall 1970) film, so I still hope for either a standalone release by Craft (or a capture of the stream by a friendly person ).
The Oakland concert documentary you refer to actually was titled In Concert and over the years popped up on bootlegs but fair to poor quality only. Later it was shown on Japanese TV and a few better quality clips of this circulate on Youtube. The original film is now owned by Jazz Casual Productions (located in Oakland of all places), which is the estate of the late Ralph J. Gleason, the San Francisco journalist and board member of Fantasy Records. Some of the Jazz Casual Productions archival footage were issued on DVD through the Eagle Media label (e.g. the Bob Dylan 1965 San Francisco press conference which was hosted by Ralph Gleason) but unfortunately the In Concert doc never saw official release.

Also, the Traveling Band documentary had some audio of Ramble Tamble which wasn't the released version.

I kinda dig Ramble Tamble.
Pendulum is an excellent album. Often overlooked because it's not as loaded with the go-to songs on today's oldies stations. But hey,...stuff that was recorded in the late 90's is what passes for oldies today, anyway.

I posted the contents of the 24/96 download of the album within hours of its release at 45worlds, and it's triggered a page of arguments on whether digital downloads should be allowed there, even though they have a category for that format.

The entire concert video is now available online on 3sat (German Public Television, for those who are not affected by geo-blocking):
).
