A long-lost performance of David Bowie performing his classic hit The Jean Genie on TOTP has finally been found thanks to a cameraman who had a copy made on 2" videotape.

Glorious news, this peformance is legendary among Bowie fans. Fascinating read too on that thread

The clip will be shown on Wednesday 21st December as part of this year's TOTP2 Xmas Special.

 

Amazing :D

John Henshall the man responsible for copying the clip posts in this thread (few posts down) and explains what happened.

He also quite a few tapes of old TOTP so it's likely he has more lost recordings...and apparently some ITV stuff (no idea what).

I love the way he slips the Sesame Street theme in there :D

Tonight 7.30 - 9.00 TOTP2

The lost David Bowie footage of Jean Genie is aired. Not seen since 1973.

Absolutely loved it
