SLADE - 'Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing'

I have no idea where this video comes from but it's pretty fab. At the end of the song Sir Noddy mentions they're in San Francisco so it's from one of their American tours but the number of different camera angles suggests this concert was filmed, so where is the film?

Dave still has his 'SLADE in Flame' haircut so I assume this is from late 1974 or '75. We don't see much of Jim or Don in this clip, the sound isn't great and the visuals could do with an edit but y'know what? If the concert was released on DVD I'd buy it anyway, and so would thousands of others. It makes you wonder what else is in the vaults.

This clip was posted on Facebook today by Slade in England so enjoy!
