Otis Redding, Sam and Dave - One night in London. Two film crews. Stax Volt Tour 1967

Otis Redding never had to work so hard as when following Sam and Dave on the historic Stax Volt European tour in March/April 1967.
Backed by the legendary Stax studios house band (Booker T & the MG’s, The Mar-keys) the dynamic Sam and Dave blazed a trail that few mortals could follow but Otis rose to the occasion each night.
Filmed in March 1967 (I’m guessing at London’s Round House) this was the only show with two film crews (French and English) recording the night. Note how each singer has two microphones held together with gaffer tape.
As a result there are two versions of Hold On I'm Coming, filmed with different edits and angles, one in black and white, one in colour.
0:00 Sam and Dave - Hold On I'm Coming
4:43 Otis Redding - Satisfaction
6:45 Otis Redding - Try A Little Tenderness
(French film crew, B&W)
12:29 Sam and Dave - Hold On I'm Coming
(English film crew, Colour)
The MC is dapper Radio 1 DJ Emperor Rosko who masterfully handles the encore changeovers with Otis from 10:10. Other highlights include the breakdown section of Hold On I'm Coming (2:50), Sam and Dave's final handshake (4:30), Steve Cropper's expression (14:45) and Dave being carried offstage! (15:53)
