Rushing home from Fri night/Weekend supermarket job on a Friday around Easter '75 to see Lynyrd Skynyrd
The animation sequence produced to play Queen's Keep Yourself Alive to- this was the very first time I had heard of them.
The Oscilloscope/ electrons animation created to play The Neutrons - Living in the World Today:
Oh - seems is a bit of theme between the two animations!! Can you spot it???
Toad the Wet Sprocket was a Monty Python in joke that surfaced in Eric Idle's own project Rutland Weekend Television along with all the other fictional bands above. See this vid, intro begins about a minute in.
The actual band TTWS were Python fans. AFAIK none of the others became "real" rock bands.
There's actually loads of stuff on youtube but you sort of have to know what you're looking for.
Among my favourites are a classic session from John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett (Really Free), A great three song set from the Rezillos, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band covering Tom Jones' "Delilah", an early Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark performance, and a terrific Iggy Pop rendition of "I'm Bored" (Glen Matlock on bass)
Unfortunately a lot of OGWT "live " performances took place during the dark days of the musicians union dispute when bands mimed to pre recorded tracks, often very obviously. But there's still plenty of classic stuff out there.
