BBA is a rare band with a rare video. Three years ago, the only professional shot (black and white) video of Santa Monica was released, coupling the short but precious 8mm image of Crystal Palace unearthed in recent years with "SANTA MONICA 1973," which delighted enthusiasts. This September, 8mm footage of the stage in Boston on October 24, 1972 was unearthed, delighting enthusiasts all over the world. This precious video was released in combination with the audience recording of the same day, but because it was a piecemeal 8mm video, it was not synchronized with the audio at all, and even though it was 24 minutes in total, the audio was more than double the length. From then on, the same scene was recorded repeatedly, making it a somewhat rough video. In addition, the screen was dark, making it difficult to grasp the situation on stage for a while after the start of the shoot. However, when the audio reached "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You," Beck's figure was shown in close-up, and it was exciting to see a scene that clearly seemed to be playing the song. Also, the sight of Beck and Bogart happily sharing the microphone and singing backing vocals suggests that this was the period when the trio was at its most cohesive. Furthermore, when the sound switched to "Morning Dew," Carmine Appice was caught beating Beck with a tambourine! It was obvious that this scene was staged, as Appice wiped the sweat off Beck when he got up afterwards, but it was still surprising to see that this old lady, who always seemed shrouded in mystery, was able to perform on stage like this. Another thing that surprised me was the shirt Beck was wearing during the concert. It seems to be the same shirt she wore when she came to Japan in 1975. Beck is a good keeper, so it's quite possible that she was already wearing that impressive patterned shirt at this point. And the footage included in the bonus track was also surprising. This is a live scene of BBA recorded by a French TV station for news footage in 1973, but I was surprised to see a close-up of Beck singing "Black Cat Moan". Since it was in France, it is likely to have captured the scene at the Olympia Theater on June 12th, but even though it was a single camera, it is a professional shot, and the sound is a sound board, which is a surprising new discovery. Although it is only one minute long, it is a shocking video with a huge impact. By coupling these two types of footage, it is easy to see the difference between his beloved instruments, the Stratocaster in 1972 and the Les Paul in 1973.
