The following is a list of professionally filmed footage that during researching the subject, I
have found to exist in the vaults of EPE (from the original collection of Col Tom Parker) or in the
hands of private collectors around the world.
This list has been compiled after years of searching and researching with the TV companies,
Private Collectors and band members who remember TV or film cameras being present. Each
of the listings have been confirmed to exist by at least 4 different sources.
This is not intended to be the ultimate information on this matter but simply a guide to let the
fans know just what else is out there, waiting to be released.
