These two films were some of the first I worked on. They were filmed by someone named Steve, I don't have his last name since he gave these films to my friend Duane Sherwood. Forgive me Duane if I am getting the story wrong, but this is how I remember hearing it. Both Steve and Duane worked at Kodak in Rochester the mid-late 70s. Film and equipment was not cheap, so Steve borrowed one of the cameras from work and got some film stock to take to these 2 concerts. Unfortunately for us, all he could get his hands on was film made for outdoor use only. I am remembering the ISO was just 80. Over 30 years later I gave these to my favorite film lab that is a short drive away, and asked him for a dynamic lighting transfer. He kinda laughed as he said he said the films were so dark that he had the aperture full open almost the whole time. I didn't have to do much with lighting or color, these films are as dark as they come.

The Selling England show has very very short clips, which is not quite as enjoyable as it could have been. I added soundboard audio to match the best I could. The Lamb show (fortunately for us) had great audio from the same concert unearthed in recent years and is now common. I enlisted the help of Chris West, since he has so much experience in Lamb concert syncing. The Lamb concert has longer and more enjoyable clips, and in fact Steve moved around the theater for different vantage points. There is a point in the Lamb show when the film lights are turned on the audience, so I jokingly asked Duane (knowing he also went to this concert) if he could see himself. Sure enough he said he found a head he thought could have been his.
