By the way, don't waste your time playing with the slot-machine (it appears when you click on "members"). Even if you get the same pic thrice, which is quite difficult, you still get the message "You lose" (misspelled "loose" on the site).

  yeah... I'm there.  Thanks for the info.

I have it.It's on Repertoire.Average picture and sound quality,but understanble considering the age and source.The show itself is somehow representative of it's era; freaking psychedelic like those early Floyd shows;long jam oriented songs and colourful lighting.

ADII plays Phallus Dei.  Any details on time it was  recorded, quality?.... sound quality?  hahahha.  Anything at all..

That is a short movie by Rüdiger Nüchtern, shot in 1969. He was the boyfriend (I believe husband meanwhile) of music journalist Ingeborg Schober, who wrote the Amon Düül biography "Tanz der Lemminge"; both lived with the Düüls for some time and followed them around. The quality is par, considering the time and limited equipment involved. The movie is an absolute must for any Düül fan. The circumstances of the shooting were quite funny; whenever something went wrong with it, the band insisted to play the whole piece of music right from the start again.
The book is highly recommended reading; Amon Düül (in all incarnations) were such a weird band. Some incidents Schober describes in the book are simply hilarious. Unfortunately there is no English translation of it (at least not to my knowledge); also a reworked re-edition would be fine, because the book was written in the late 70s or earlly 80s, and there have been some Düül activities afterwards, most notably the British branch of Amon Düül, formed by guitar player John Weinzierl (Penguin) and bass player Dave Anderson (who appears on the first 2 albums of Amon Düül 2, before he joined Hawkwind, which is why he is "Hawk" on the first album of the British Amon Düül, "Hawk Meets Penguin". Amon Düül 2 and Hawkwind always had a close association; it is not for nothing Robert Calvert of Hawkwind appears on "Die Lösung" and "Fool Moon" by the British Amon Düül; they are his last recordings before he died of a heart attack). John Weinzierl had moved to Wales in the 80s, and that's how the collaboration re-started.
