I return briefly just to tell everyone that recently Bob West has finally finished restoring what was left of his film of the concert on the 27th September 1977 at the Spectrum. I enjoyed very much watching it even if it was incomplete, I hope it will be the same for all of you, I've always wanted to see this video.
This is his post:

Ok, so here ya go. Its taken almost exactly a year since I hooked up with James Floyd and we started our adventure into bringing the real audio to my 50 year old 8mm film. Honestly I have yet to see the finished product, but that's ok with me we can all share it together. Fingers crossed.

And this is finally the video uploaded on Youtube:

Now THIS is something

Where is the time capsule to go back?

I've asked myself that question many times. Not only that, but also... Why wasn't I born a few years earlier? My teenage years were mostly in the early 80s, so I didn't have the opportunity to travel to see them yet. And forget about it in the late 70s; I was just finishing my childhood. Where is the H. G. Wells time machine when you need it?

SisterNightroad you have been truly missed! I hope you’re doing well.

Does anyone know how many dates Bob joined them on stage or was Philly the only night?

You can’t go back to Kansas
Cause that was . . . yesterday . . .

This is marvelous! West synchronized the footage with the audio. I didn’t even know there was audio in circulation!

Judging by the looks of things, I’m going to venture a guess that this was Sept. 27 at the Spectrum, not the March 21 date (when Christine’s hair was crimped and Lindsey was still wearing blazer jackets).

Yes, indeed, nice seeing Welch out there. No idea which shows he did with them this year, although I know he played the following year with them at JFK Stadium and Buffalo.
