First released: 1971
Apple filmed this concert film of one of the first rock and roll charity events quite well, considering the fact that it really was shot on film and had to be synchronized with the soundtrack recorded on reel-to-reel tape (see the documentary on the 2005 DVD version). After its initial showing, it was a staple of midnight movies shows (where I first saw it) throughout the 70s and early 80s when it was briefly committed to Beta and VHS tape in a passable but not great transfer. Then a questionably legal version came out on DVD in the early 2000’s. Apple remixed, remastered, restored and the 2005 DVD is the version to have. It looks and sounds the best that I’ve ever seen it, and like I said previously, you no longer have to bother with the LP or CD versions anymore.
