Oedipus and the Mothers brief film clip - better footage of the Who

[chas_kit]

April, 1967 TV special with good footage of the Who at 4:40, short interviews with Mary Quant, Margaret Forster (author of Georgy Girl), Jean Shrimpton, and publisher Gareth Powell.

Great animation from Harold Mack. Short clip of a band in a London club at about 10:20 in.

My facebook pal Jonas turned up an old news item on the Texas band Oedipus and the Mothers that listed a CBS TV special "Texas vs. England", which he found was actually titled "If You're Appalled at my Texas, I'm Bewildered by your England".

Oedipus and the Mothers appear very briefly at a frat party about 30 minutes in, playing a slow song.

Dan Rather and David Dimbleby offer hilariously uptight (and condescending) commentary throughout.

Could only find this on Russian social media but there's no need to log in or register to view the video: https://m.ok.ru/video/1315573467695

It's captured from the Documentaries and Mixed Media private facebook group.

Wow...you’re able to identify Oedipus and the Mothers by that brief clip? Never heard of this. Thanks for sharing.

Well, a news article mentions they were in the TV special, though it had the title wrong. Plus they were a popular UT band with an African American singer, and I can recognize the bassist.

Oedipus clip at a UT Frat was boss, but holy crap...what a load of 'media elitist' virtue-signaling shite. Not all that
different to what CBS does now (lol). Dan Rather is the original self-hating mainstream media Texan. Sad...sad...

I managed to download the actual video (mp4) file in case anyone of you need it (or it disappears from that Russian site). Just let me know if so.
