Yer Tis
(There are actually now four youtube uploads of the video:-
the one first posted by sirlongpass
then a copy from gordonlightfoot100 (who uploaded the entire 60 minute 1972 BBC concert as a pair of 30 minute videos (thereby somehow finding a way to overcome the current 15 minute (previously only 10 minutes) youtube limit)
thdem another from tackertoons
And here's another from rareighties that omits the important intro by the young pre grey haired Rolf

OK hands up I'm to blaim for letting myself go well off topic
However my mentioning of the Big Yin (theBig one) was originally partly Gord related
When I noted that the EMR video had been uploaded to youtube by
sirlongpass I was curious to see if he had uploaded any other Gord videos
It was then that I saw that his collection included several by Humble Pie and confusing "pie" with"bums' I thought of Billy.
Funny you should mention "funeral" because I could have sworn that Billy had a small part in the hit film "Four Weddings and a Funeral" but the wikis for both Billy and the film do not prove this.I'll have to rewatch ther video and keep a close eye out for him in it
