John Fowles's recent post re his early difficulty in tracking down video footage of Gord reminded me of when I first saw him on video. It was in the 1980s on the US TV music series "Solid Gold". They had a looking-back segment with Gord invited in to perform his mid-1970s hit "Sundown". (I don't know if it's already been discussed on this website.) No spoken words from Gord. Just current-day video of him "performing" the song in the studio, but the sound was the original album recording. I still have my recording of that segment on VHS. (And the only other Gord music video I've seen, apart from on the internet, is the store-bought Reno concert from 2000.)
