Adam Bound Notes: Here is some never-before-seen, absolutely stunning 8mm home movie footage captured during the afternoon
performance of the Concert for Bangladesh. I found this footage sitting on eBay as part of a listing for a tape
source for the "Goodbye" demo, selling for thousands of dollars.

I took a shot in the dark and offered to buy just the 8mm footage, and thankfully the seller accepted! While the
filmer is unknown, it is possible they were a former Apple employee due the other items found within their
storage locker, namely the Goodbye demo and Apple Corps branded parchment paper.

This film captures good chunks of songs from the first half of the set; while unfortunately there is nothing past
Jumpin Jack Flash, it is still wonderful to see. I synced this footage using the audience tape of the
afternoon show. While some songs from the official release are taken from the afternoon performance, I wanted to
use an audio source that was consistent and free from any editing or overdubbing.

Songs filmed: Wah Wah, Something, Awaiting On You All, Billy Preston: That`s The Way God Planned It, Ringo Starr:
It Don`t Come Easy, Band Introductions, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Leon Russell: Jumpin Jack Flash, Leon
Russell: Young Blood, Leon Russell: Jumpin Jack Flash (reprise).
