I heard a rumor that the concert was shot in 16mm and its lying in the
Vault with God know what other tasty morsels. Anyone seen this or heard
similar 16mm info?

I've heard that too, and FZ provides corraborating evidence in Echidna's
Arf when he says, "Ladies & gentlemen, watch Ruth. All through this
film,.. etc."

Even more compelling corroborating evidence is that part of the Roxy
performance of "Dummy Up" can be seen in The True Story Of 200 Motels.

I haven't seen this, but as it was recorded on 16mm, and not on
video, it would look EXTREMELY dramatic. How come this much could
be synced and not

From the lecture at the Gifford Auditorium, Syracuse, 04/23/75:
|
"Can you tell us if anything is going on with your 'Live at the Roxy'
movie?"
|
"Well, I wish there was...The status of that film is this: I spent
about $30.000-40.000 trying to get the thing on film, and I got it on
film, and there's some things that happened down there that were
absolutely fabulous. However, they're too weird to show on television, and
I don't think there's really a market in the theaters for a straight
concert film like that...So right now, it's sitting in my shelf, being an
expensive piece of home movie. Maybe one day, when TV loosens up a little
bit, we'll be able to show the lovely Brenda, doing...(FZ and George Duke
laugh)...that was a real nice piece of film, that Brenda...(more
laughter)."

From SOCIETY PAGES (or: Den Simms where are you?), issue #7, page 17,
interview with FZ by Simms & Rob Samler 1/12/91:
|
DEN SIMMS: Will we ever get to see some of the film that was made at the
Roxy in '73?
|
FZ: Not unless I get to be very, very, very, very rich, and have an awful
lot of spare time. All the film has been transferred to video, but none of
the audio has been synchronized to it. Before you can edit it, it all has
to be synchronized, and that's a pretty time-consuming and expensive
process. Video editing costs a lot of money, and I don't have any of the
equipment here at the house, so I always have to rely on someone else's
studio, and it runs about six hundred to seven hundred dollars an hour.

As of this writing (5/98) Dweezil is purportedly at work on this task.

Supposedly, a Roxy home video has been prepared. We will just have
to wait un til the ZFT gets their shit together...
