No TEB shots at the Rolling Stones Hyde Park left...


I asked to Leslie Woodhead, the filmaker of the famous "Stones in the park", if he filmed also the Third Ear Band that day (July 5th, 1969), considering they was the opening act.
Here's his kind answer:

"Dear Luca,
we did film some other bands ahead of the Stones in Hyde Park - I remember particularly King Crimson. But I can't recall if we filmed anything of the Third Ear Band. I think that - sadly - it's not likely that the Granada TV Library would have kept anything other than Stones offcuts. I suggest you might contact the current archive manager for Granada material Beatrice Okoro. I hope you find something. All the best, Leslie Woodhead".
 
So I've written to Mrs Okoro and she've answered so:

"Hi Luca,
thanks for your e-mail. Is this the programme you require?
King regards, Beatrice.
