Rare TV Footage of Stephen Stills & Manassas, 1972

I might be wrong, but I think this was recorded for Beat-Club (not for the often misquoted MusikLaden, which replaced Beat-Club on December 13, 1972). The show was broadcast on March 25, 1972 (referred to as Episode #1.77). Any corrections are most welcome.The broadcast seems to showcase Side A of the forthcoming double album release (April 12, 1972) almost in its entirety and track-by-track.Manassas was a fairly short-lived project, but a highly creative one. The double album was in a sense a concept album of different genres from which the band could quite easily and most skilfully draw upon.The core members of Manassas were:Stephen Stills: vocals, keyboards & guitar (CSNY, ex-Buffalo Springfield)Chris Hillman: vocals, mandolin & guitar (ex-Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers)Al Perkins: steel guitar & guitar (ex-Gram Parsons and Flying Burrito Brothers)Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels: bass, backing vocals (ex-CSNY and John Sebastian)Paul Harris: keyboards (played with John Sebastian during 1968-71)Dallas Taylor: drums (ex-Clear Light, CSNY and John Sebastian)Joe Lala: percussion, backing vocals (ex-Blues Image and Pacific Gas & Electric)
