the only colour version i have seen has a time code and ends with an early 70s vintage BBC "globe". Is there another version out there?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the officially released (?) 'soundboard' recording of the Bataclan show is actually from the soundtrack of the TV recording, right? So video of the full show must exist somewhere, presumably in some French TV vault. Official DVD release? Pleease?

Yes, there's a color version w/o the timecode. Doesn't have the BBC globe either.

colour and no time code - that's interesting. I had always wondered how a copy could have the BBC globe on it when the first time that footage appeared in colour "officially" was on the South Bank Show ie ITV! Anyone have any idea?
Re the rest of the footage - check out what Olivier has to say about it. An official release doesn't look likely to me....

All I can find on Olivier's site is "The complete film remains unfortunately unavailable."
No mention of whether it still exists in the archive - and surely it must have done at some point in the past 10 (?) years to provide the source for the soundboard recording?

Not sure about the BBC globe. It's not on the timecoded copy I have.

More to the point, could someone please seed this so some more of us can download the mother?

I'm not convinced that the "soundboard" recording is from the film/video soundtrack. From memory, part of the "soundboard" quality recording frist appeared on a Cale/Nico bootleg lp (but the source wasn't credited properly). Then 4 songs appeared on that double coloured vinyl bootleg single in the late 1980s. The "complete" soundboard version finally pitched up in the mid-late 1990s on a bootleg 2CD set. The quality of all these releases is (to me anyway) far superior to a simple dub from a film/video source.
Colour snippets of the film were initially shown as part of the South Bank Show VU special in 1985 or 86 - I heard that the "fee" demanded for the use of these was very high, and that's why they were so truncated.
Conclusion? The "soundboard" audio must have been around since at least the mid 1980s. I first saw the "colour" video in 1990 or so. Sometime in the late 1990s, the black and white version (complete with french "hippies" talking in between songs) was broadcast on french TV "Canal Jimmy". If the colour version had been available then, surely they would have broadcast it rather than the black and white one?
Can you make any sense of this? I cant!
