God I love John's sense of humor.

This footage is gold. Pure gold. If this brief clip is anything to go on, it shows how extensively they used Walker as the focal point of their live shows in early 73.

Wish there was an audio.

god i know. i just went back and looked over some of his answers. in my head i can hear chris describing him in the BBC documentary...'he was an hysterical guy. very dry sense of humor...' before she started gushing about his fu manchu mustache and long hair, and how he stood out in a room because he was sooo handsome.

i love reading over those old q&a's.

I always wonder when John said “we’re a blues band, you know” in 1975 if that was sarcasm that went over everyone’s head. Nothing on the 1975 was any softer or less bluesy than other songs in their catalog. It’s not as if “Sentimental Lady” and “Come A Little Bit Closer” were boogie rock.

Chris sure was a sucker for that type of guy(see Dennis Wilson).

I'm confused. Why is "For Your Love" playing while the video seems to be of another song? That makes no sense. If it was filmed with a movie camera that didn't record sound, why not just post it as a silent movie and explain that audio isn't available?

Ask and you shall receive. You can now spend the next 2 minutes watching the video in dead silence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WndOAs8Lc9M&t=65s
