Errr… try to get yer rappers or Winehouse copyists to put on a show like that!!! Not to mention - who, today, could afford to put a band that size on the road?

Watch and weep for extravagances such as well never see again!

Ah, well… back to introspective Indie-Rock …

Better than on that 1956 EP - but how did the guitarist play his Grimshaw with the strap slung like that?

I have been reliably informed that the colour was opalesent white which changed to what ever colour light was directed on it, unfortunately it usually
went to a pink colour.

The film was “Rock You Sinners” a low budget B movie from 1957

I like many others just assumed it was a Gibson LP he was playing, thanks for putting the record straight.

Made my day watching this and thanks so much for posting it. One issue though……….I saw Beckett twice in 1973/4 and I’m 100% certain his guitar was white. In fact I think it is white on the Old Grey Whistle test video too. It looks pinkish from certain angles because of the lighting. Both Bob Barton and Terry Wilson-Slessor’s shirts look pinkish too from certain angles. The sound Bob Barton got live was much better than on the video or the album (produced by Roger Chapman of Family I think). He also used a Carlsbro head when I saw him rather than the Marshall he is shown with on OGTW. Thanks again for a great trip down memory lane.
