How bizarre.Its always been the record companies view get out the most commercial song as a single
to promote the album , I think in this case it was just the shortest track.Very odd.Any thoughts Chris Blackwell?

Nice little clip even if it was mime....one doesn't get many vids from the Lake days.
Great song btw which, as corrected ,was from Poseidon.
 
I've finally come to realize, a bit late , that  ' Komandant Shamal' doesn't know much about prog.

I love live performances of KC, the majority of them I've seen are without Lake so this is nice.

Yeah, I swear I've seen this before..........as others have said though, it may have just been a clip.  I also thought I remembered seeing it in color.  Maybe a different song from Poseidon?  Nah, probably a clip from this on some prog rock documentary....

As far as the origins of the vid itself, here's what a German fellow on another site had to say:

" It's "Hits a Go Go" a German - Swiss television co production.

The Music Clips are from TotP. The rest has Swiss or German hosts in the TotPs Studio
with the original TotP GoGo girls. "

Oh I saw this yesterday and I think I've seen it three times since then.

Love seeing early crimson perform (even if it's dubbed) and Greg looks so good!

Just my opinion, of course.
 
and a very wrong oneTongueWink
 
First, Cat Food is a great tune (especially the longer album version)
Second, it's from Poseidon, and it's probably the best song from that album (given that side A is ITOTCK part 2 and Mars is a readaptation of Holtz)
 
As for the vid in itself, it's better than nothing
Of course that's from Poseidon,  sorry for the lapse.
Lizard doesn't have a weak moment like Cat Food  IMO.

I noticed some great sh*t, live performance clips from the new upcoming Romantic Warriors movie done on the Canterbury scene that I sure had never seen before. Perhaps they exist and Jose and Adele got access to them.. or they simply got them directly from the bands. I didn't think to ask actually. Embarrassed

Really? Can you remember where it was shown, as this was previously thought to have been wiped along with 90% of other Top of the Pops from that era.



maybe it was just a clip as Andy said in a later post

I've still got the Young Persons Guide vinyl with the booklet containing the Top of the Pops photos. It really is surreal after all these years to see those static images comes to life. And pretty funny to see the audience attempting to dance to such as undanceable song!

Yes that seems most likely, the German presenter looked like he was in the Top of the Pops studio in London. A lot of Top of the Pops footage from the late 60s and early 70s only survives because Swiss and German stations stored it, like the recently found Black Sabbath performance of Paranoid, while good old Auntie Beeb erased nearly all episodes from that era. It makes you wonder what else might turn up - Caravan, Family and Audience were also on the programme in 1970.
