Bands With Almost No Video Footage

[FreddyFender]

Crue with Matthew Tripp

[Sleek]

80s Ratt and 80s Poison..there is a lil ratt. But can't recall any pro shots of Poison from 80s

I mean, it's technically the 90s, but there is the Swallow This Live video that was shelved, and then later shown on VH-1.

Yah, I always keep an eye out for Poison footage from '85-87 so I can look for my dumb young ass hanging around the side of the stage.

It's kind of weird how many random eighties bands have all sorts of shows up on youtube from the clubs around town, yet there was Poison, arguably the biggest band in L.A. and there has never been a Country Club, Troubador or Palace show come up, to say nothing of shows from the Ratt tour or whatev.

I know people were filming, because we used to have people bring the occasional VHS over.

There's a few. London and Buffalo headlining sets and a handful from when they opened for the Crue early on.

Is there any footage of Scorpions with Uli Roth?

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but there doesn't seem to be any at all.

There was a German tv-show uploaded to youtube recently, maybe Rockpalast? I'll go look for it.

Unlike what that one weirdo on here always claims, Uli-Scorpions were fantastic:

Thanks!!! ^^^^

Good call on Nick Drake.

Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny (of Battle of Evermore fame). This sixty second clip is all that exists. What a voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdr_kilrw4

Sandy Denny is awesome. those who only know her via Zeppelin are depriving themselves of some good shit.

and what a sad ending she had.

Billy Squier

One of the few cases where maybe less video would have been better.

Full show from '82. Looks like the Cock Me Tonite jazz hands were a natural affectation.

Ya, Don't say no and Emotions both have good footage, but the 4 or 5 tours he did after have nothing. They were fairly smaller runs though.

There is that weird footage of the Giants stadium show in 89 where he was opening for Bon Jovi and Skid Row...but it is barely watchable.

Even though that video killed his career, he did put out some really solid albums after.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Oh yeah if you want post-Emotions footage good luck. He played half-full arenas for Signs of Life and was getting blown off the stage by RATT. After that, he got busted down to theaters or worse.

[Darrien]

Harry Nilsson, apparently he didn't like to perform live.

[Love_Industry]

Iron Maiden - Somewhere on Tour 1986. Nothing proshot except for what's in the video for Stranger and maybe 3 bootlegs. Which is 2 more than from the World Slavery Tour.

Speaking of the World Slavery Tour, there is now audio proof that Back in the Village was played at the first show in Warsaw 1984. An employee of Polish Radio recorded the show on reel-to-reel, and many years later a younger colleague digitized it and has now shared a snippet over at maidenfans, where Bruce clearly introduces the song "Back in the Village" and Adrian plays the opening riff. Big news for Maidenheads apparently as this has been a rumour for years.

Still not confirmed if they played BITV and possibly Flash of the Blade in Lodz the following show, but the third show in Poznan is frequently bootlegged and has neither song so they were quickly dropped.

[Thrasherfan17]

Randy Rhoads footage. Its really a shame because there is some out there that we haven't seen, and may never see. I'm not sure why poeple sit on this stuff. This is live in Detriot on the Diary tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4k6oWf9ggs&t=64s Some clips were put up and then taken down. Someone could probably clean this footage up and it would be killer to see! There are rumors of the UK Southhampton show being filmed with the original Blizzard Of Ozz band, and that is what I would want to see most. The Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ had in house cameras and Randy sent a postcard to a friend saying how it was filmed. Nobody knows where the tape is though and it may have been lost in a fire. I've pretty much given up hope at this point. There is a two camera Phoenix show as well that two brothers filmed and tried to sell the footage to the Osbounes but it never happened.

I'm sure Charon attacks any unauthorized YT footage with the ferocity of the Gestapo.

If I could go back in time and tell him to be more Keith than Mick or more Ace then Paul, I would.

I think he thought being some gender-fluid front man was going to be cool for him. But, he's not Mick and he's not Bowie. Just sing and play your guitar with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth from time to time, and keep your hands and legs from flailing about like a ballerina.

[Bono Nettencourt]

I think he's also a closet homo who's mutually bearding with a lesbo athlete. The rumor was that he and Freddie were more than just friends.

The Capitol Footage was up on youtube for about 5 minutes, years ago.

I saw it, told people about it, then it was gone. It was the whole show in black and white, which is a thing with the old capitol footage.

Wow! I never heard that about the Capitol footage. There were rumors that the tape was lost in a fire. Its a shame that someone has it and is sitting on it.

John Scher had cameras going at all his shows (Capitol, Giants Stadium, and Asbury Park Convention Hall. He is sitting on a goldmine of history! I waa at that Ozzy show at the Capitol, I believe Motorhead opened

Yeah, you gotta download that shizz asap if something too good to be true comes up.

I dont give a fuck about Van Halen, but wasnt their Donnington Show uploaded a while ago, and a bunch of Sludgers were pulling down a copy in real time, sure it would be pulled? Not sure if it stayed up.

Yes and it's gone now. Someone released it on DVD too, not sure if it's the source for youtube or a youtube rip.

An 1,5 hr video of VH brothers & Wolfie jamming on various VH songs at 5150 Studios in 2007 before the reunion tour also leaked and was gone soon.

[CoreyRotic007]

Their first show at the Starwood exists and has always been widely available but I’m kinda shocked that we haven’t seen more than a few seconds here and there of club era Mötley Crüe. Plenty of live audio exists from the era.

Some douche is rumored to be sitting on some but isn’t sharing. Cool, bro.

Even more perplexing, HOW is there no professionally shot live footage of The Monkees in the 60s other than a few clips used in the concert episode of the tv series and one song from the “Head” movie?

That entire project was based around cameras. Nobody caught anything???

[Wiseacre]

For a touring band with 5 studio albums, there is very little video of the band ANGEL. They have a handful of promo videos, and American Bandstand appearance, a few shots in the film “Foxes” and some 8mm crowd stuff. Even Punky said there isn’t much. I don’t think there is any multicam concert stuff at all.

They actually filmed a full concert that was going to be an official release, but Casablanca shelved it and no one can locate any of the footage as of a few years ago.

It’s a shame because they were known to have a cool stage show for their time.

[Einstein Lawless]

Waters era Pink Floyd… particularly WYWH/ Animals era.

You seen this that popped up a few years back? https://youtu.be/HIGuTCY--xc

There are several "Wall" full shows. I saw one that they filmed for a home release a while back, but I can't find it now. That one was good because you had closeups and cameras behind the wall and shit.

I will check it out, thanks.

There's some insecure small dicked assholes who hoard stuff. It makes them feel important. Curt Gooch is a big one who has a ton of Kiss and I believe he has some Motley and Van Halen. He had a bunch of his stuff leak a year or so ago and then he filed claims with YouTube getting it all pulled, even though technically it isn't his anyway. Gene and Paul sued him not too long ago, though I'm not sure what happened with that.

This is mostly incorrect. Gooch DOES track down and purchase the rights to old footage which he then licenses to the bands as a business KISS paid him for several things). All legit. He's not the only one who does either and not everyone is a "hoarder". It doesn't make any sense to do the legwork to make money from the bands and then just give the stuff away. It would make it worthless. a content creator who claimed to have purchased a "stolen" hard drive leaked all of (mostly KISS' footage) that was being used for the A&E thing. Tons of people had the Google drive link in his name even though he still lies and claims it wasn't him. Everything worth seeing has been seen.

The "lawsuit" from KISS had zero to do with any leaked footage and was thrown out months ago. You haven't heard this because everyone who believed the "sam loomis" BS swore he was going to prison, lol. Obviously, none of them was excited to tell anyone when it was quickly thrown out of court (and Gooch was only one of many people named). KISS were likely just trying to establish ownership of "all things KISS" probably related to the Pophouse thing. But that isn't how things work with recordings made by people other than the band. Those individuals own the content, but can't commercially sell it. The band can sell it, but they need permission from the people who possess or own the rights. One hand washes the other.

people can get pissed all they want, but there is a TON of cool stuff we've all seen that would have remained "lost" without those people who tracked it down. The KISS K-SHE KITE FLY thing is a perfect example. Being from St. Louis, this was a thing of lore my whole life. Seeing film of that was worth sitting through that A&E doc for.

I have contact with Gooch because I am not interested in going to war with him over shit that I definitely do not own and don't want to waste time cleaning up to have it taken down (which has happened to me too several times). I believe some of his stuff was even used in the new Zeppelin doc.
