THE Fleetwood Mac ,THE Jethro Tull , THE Blind Faith- I'm surprised the commentator didn't say THE Christine Perfect and THE Eric Clapton "
(I think it's THE Keith Emerson of THE Nice (valid usage! ) sitting next to THE Ian Anderson, in the shot just after the one where THE Christine collects her award ?)
(Er I forgot to say - yes there was sound !)

Adding "The" in front of any band's name seems to have been common in the late '60s, particularly in the UK. You often see Cream referred to as The Cream.
And don't forget "Les Fleetwood-Mac" in Paris!
