50 years ago today the London Rock and Roll Show

This is really worth watching. The London Rock and Roll Show was a concert held at Wembley Stadium in Wembley Park, London, England, on 5 August 1972. I was only 12 so I didn't go but I remember the news coverage as I was a Little Richard fan by then. This film captures the UK Ted and Rocker scene at play and it's fascinating.
