Amougies Festival Documentary
|
Data: 24-28 October 1969 |
1. Belgian B&W TV documentry made by TV station RTB appears to have been shown on TV in Belgium in late 1969 this is only the first part of the documentry and it is missing the opening title credits but catches the date November 17, 1969 and the director : Marc Mopty It opens with the Church bells tolling in Amougies with scenes of the town and just outside the Festival site and tent being prepared, interviews with town officals and scenes of teenagers arriving, interviews with some shop keepers and teenagers heading to the festival site. Music releated segments are at 4'14 audio music for 30 or 40 seconds 8'45 audio music for 10 seconds .........Who is this ? 10'33 an Amougies Festival poster visible in a store window 15'05 The Nice introduced play "Hang on to a Dream" 15'21 > 15'28 Frank Zappa seen in the crowd 16'32 Bill Bruford playing drums (obviously dubbed in) In the last 5 minutes there is a few seconds of Frank Zappa in the crowd just after The Nice start to play with a short glimpse of Bill Bruford and a bass player ? while The Nice play "Hang on to a Dream " the camera in a car drives through town and you see some of one of the film crews making the movie about Amougies "Music Power" standing on a street corner then there is an ariel view of the site and just as the song ends this tape ends. I believe from the way this is set up this is only part of what was shown it would be nice if someone in Belgium could inquire at RTBF archives about the details of the rest of it. The person I got this partial documentry from actually saw the film made about the festival in France called "Music Power" released in May, 1970 (but later banned due to copyright violations) and this is what he had to say unfortunaely I had to tell him I did not have it. 2.
