Search - Beat, Beat, Beat on DVD

Enthusiastic performance but muddy sound and too short!

"As I've seen in others in this series, the video and audio quality are better than bootleg but not much better; at least it's better than the Kinks one of the series. This particular video has the Small Faces before they recorded for the Immediate label. All live, no lip-synch.

Song List:

1. Hey Girl
2. All Or Nothing
3. Whatcha Gonna Do About It
4. Shalalalalee

They perform enthusiastically but unfortunately it is all too short at 10 minutes. The German audience almost seems to not be that much into the performance as audience shots show about half of them dancing to the music but many others arn't even watching the musicians but are watching each other without even moving! Rather haphazard camera work shows much of Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane but only a few occasional shots of Ian McLagen, and Kenny Jones are only usually clearly seen from behind (wasted camera angle). I'd say don't pay much for it due to length."
