The Video

Brian Lagerman

3rd generation, time column at bottom and the letters A.I.R.Q. appear almost centered on the screen. Two instances of no picture for about 40 seconds each, sound remains.

Mark McKee

I understand it was stolen from Zappa.

Jon Naurin

I don't think it was stolen from FZ—the copy I have was shot by a journalist in the audience. There's a version with an obnoxious timebar that's become quite available in trading circles, while the version w/o the timebar can be pretty hard to find, I think.

Annette Hinkle, "Rock 'n Roll's Celluloid Heroes", The Sag Harbor Express, May 19, 2010

"Bill Graham closed Fillmore East in 1971, and one of the last shows was Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention who did three nights," adds [Joe] Lauro. "Who shows up one of the nights but John and Yoko. There was a girl, an NYU film student, who worked the light show. She got a tip Lennon would show up so she borrowed a 16 mm Bolex and bought two rolls of film and shot Lennon and Yoko on stage with Zappa and the Mothers of Invention."
