The show on September 11, 1977, at Clapham Common Bandstand, London, UK, from what I've seen in photos, was probably recorded by Charlie Gillett. It seems that the radio station recorded it, as it was also a promotion for the radio program, where the bands performed to help promote the Honky Tonk Radio Show with DJ Charlie Gillett.

Who knows, the BBC might have it in their archives, or it might be with Charlie Gillett.

The concert was broadcasted live by Radio London but not recorded. I spent half a year searching for it and contacting many people and that's what happened. Only chance is someone recorded it at the time and still has it but I haven't any luck contacting Darts and Rico fans.

Neither Gillett family has it, they donated all he had to the London library, which I searched too. With that donation is how the Honky Tonk tapes were released, as MK got the tapes that Charlie had


You did exactly what I would have done if I had the opportunity, congratulations on the initiative!. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's possible that someone recorded this broadcast, but finding it in 2025 would be incredibly lucky; the closest I got was this:

Almost...

Who knows, maybe someone could get in touch with the person who runs that channel.


Wow! I've never seen this before. Why didn't anyone film DS?
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

I think it all depends on who really takes the time and effort to find thing things. I remember Nick Mason saying that the very next day after after Pink Floyd's last gig on the Pulse tour in 1994 he asked their archivist Lana Topham to start looking for material for a box set, that took until 2016 to be released!!
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.
