Pink Floyd
Amougies Festival Actuel
25 Oct 1969
(B&W)
total time: 42:25

Here's what I did:
i took the Amougies footage from the '1969--1972 - Pro-Shot In Europe 1969-1972' dvd
and added into those two tracks the footage of 'Green is the Color' from an mpg source. I took the color out of 'Careful with that axe' to make it match better. I then dubbed in sound from the soundborad tracks on 'Interstella Zappadrive'. To compensate for messing with the tracks i included a menu so i could include all the source material in its original format. And i also included the '1969 Amougies Festival Documentary (VCD)' to round it off. But its not an English language documentary (it's in French). (and it doesnt have any footage of Pink Floyd, but does have a small snippet of Zappa standing in a crowd). For the back ground sound on the menu i added the two 'Tune Up' tracks from 'Interstella Zappadrive'. All the footage here is believed to originated from the 'Music Power' movie.




These are relevant extracts from the source text files:

Green is the Color:
Ok, here is Green is the Colour being performed at Amougies. Because I know little about
video I am assuming this is lossy. Maybe someone else can tell me. The audio certainly looks
lossy at reaches 13khz and cuts off from there. I know some of you may have seen this before
and maybe some of you haven't.
This supposedly comes from some French broadcast as you will see on this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIYnmigZ1yI
That version is totally out of sync and has some French announcer bit before the song starts.
The version I present here is in sync bit missing that French announcer.
