There's something about prison performances.
Here's a clip of BB King playing a prison outside New York in 1973 which is spellbinding if you're in the mood for a bit blues... |

Classic clip of Chicory Tip playing Son of My Father (first single I ever bought - along with Telegram Sam) on a windy British seafront...
Son Of My Father
I can confirm that it was filmed at Southsea Seafront in Portsmouth - a place I lived for a year and where I had the T of my L
Also look out for the kid in the parka with the football under his arm. He'll be pushing 60 now

That's great Zeo
The Action are mod-tastic

That's a classic. I've seen it before but not for some time.

I find that moment where Mod splits into psych and hard Mod/Skin a fascinating point
