Ten Years After - Swing in - Rock in (1969 WDR Studio B&W broadcast) (DVD) (PAL)

Hi folks. This is the first post on The Music Emporium.
Have a great time here always!

If you are a fan of this band, or of late 60's English Blues-Rock in general, this is an absolute must-have. Straight live in-studio recording done in B&W for this German music broadcast show, they simply rock out from beginning as they do a four song set and it's a 30 minute show. They are still jamming out like crazy during the show's credits at the end. Here is the enclosed Info text below for all of the particulars on this in detail. And, I'll just leave you with the reminder to check out Alvin in his crushed velour shirt and his paisley print jeans with the curtain fringe bell trim... oh Man... those were magical days indeed! Enjoy...

Ten Years After
WDR Studio
Cologne, DE

The director of the film was George Moorse and in his film listings there is the following entry: Swing in - Rock in / Ten Years After ... 1969 (Show, WDR)
Also, first notation found from German tv guide "hör zu": 22.01.70 ARD (17:25 - 17:55 Uhr) Swing In (wdr) Mit Ten Years After.
So this video may have been recorded in November 1969? and then first broadcast on January 22, 1970.
