Who recorded video of the Smile concert in Royal Albert Hall?

Great thanks!

Do we know if they paid for the footage? It seems a pretty useless service to pay for without getting the sound recorded too.

There's plenty of silent footage even from the 70s and early 80s - it was expensive to have a camera that could do audio, and this looks like silent 8mm footage.

So indeed, if that wasn't in the budget, then neither was a proper soundboard recording to a mobile rig.

Fantastic - thanks for that !

Any chances for a new mega link?

Real question is why was it such god awful bad quality. I mean people had not only color film in those days but they weren't of atrocious quality. Was it because the Brits had not yet caught up to the rest of society and civilization?

I can add a photo of Smile with Chris Smith - keyboardist, not the drummer :)
