Gong 1968 La Vieille Grille Club Paris

Probably the very first Gong recording ever made. A part from an Interview I did with Daevid in 2005 Udi: I read somewhere that the first gig was attended by Yoko Ono Ornette Coleman and that a TV crew filmed the show. Is there any footage of that Daevid: I would love to find it. its worth remembering that Yoko Ornette were doing performance art upstairs on the main stage we were down in the newly christened very avant garde psychedelic cellar. We didn t play together. Gilli was subsequently offered a role in the sound track as orgasmic special fx but the film was pretty standard boring.
