Episode 3
Bob Harris remembers the third series of the classic music TV programme live sessions from Roger Daltrey and Steve Harley, plus archive music from Jim Croce and New York Dolls.
Bob Harris continues to celebrate the classic music TV show. Each programme looks at one complete series of the original Old Grey Whistle Test and includes archive recordings alongside both new interviews and exclusively recorded sessions with guests from the featured series.
Programme three covers the series that ran from September 1973 to July 1974. Both Steve Harley and Roger Daltrey join Bob Harris in the studio to perform exclusive session songs.
Bob talks with the show's original producer Mike Appleton about the films that accompanied tracks in the "pre-video" age. He also speaks to film-maker Ian Eames about the film he created for a Pink Floyd song, which was screened on OGWT and led to a lengthy working collaboration between animator and band.
Amongst the archive performances featured in this programme are songs by Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Jim Croce and the New York Dolls.
First broadcast on Radio 2 in 2011.
