- BEING HELD BACK BY CURATORIAL (Dec'17)
The Bonzo Dog Band, seen here in their rock-iconoclast heyday, take a splendidly surreal trip to the countryside in this endearingly odd, semi-improvised psychedelic music short. After a strange-sounding supper with local kids, the Bonzos set up their instruments in a farmyard, where they perform outlandish instrumental versions of their weird theatrical rock songs to an appreciative audience of horses and ponies.
The band line-up featured here is Vivian Stanshall, Neil Innes, Rodney Slater, 'Legs' Larry Smith, Roger Ruskin Spear and Dennis Cowan. Unusually, Viv doesn't sing here. Instead he toys with some radishes, before playing some serious electric guitar, his brow appealingly adorned by a laurel wreath. Meanwhile, Neil expresses himself in clown trousers and Roger attends to his robots.

My little sister was the girl in the orange dress look very worried. We’d been taught to be still at table so all these strange people and bouncing tomatoes were a bit unnerving!
Loved her Little Red Riding Hood story. Especially her accent saying "open the door" unique to a Canadian.
Sounds like your parents were strict too
That was enjoyable, and very silly.
I bet this patch of green is now under Concreton
Roger had a lot of comedy strength to his character. He could have easily been a Monty Python castmate.
Like the old saying goes,Don’t work with children or animals, and the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band 😂
Just beautiful and very cool. And how I wish the Bonzos has recorded an entire album of heavy jams like those in the stable yard. That was killer!
The message here is far deeper than it is.

I really liked the instrumental
What a find. It's all just very Viv-acious ahem.
I like to imagine the alternative world where mtv only showed this style of video
Gorgeous footage and incredible instrumentals
Nice to finally see and hear this with it's original soundtrack reinstated! Aren't those their (then) manager's kids?
Three of the girls have the surname Lees, and this was produced by Nigel Lees, so I suppose there's a connection. I don't know, was he their manager at the time?
When was the BFI cgi graphic at the end made? Surely not in 1969? Hm.. so sad that Cowan passed early on. I think this was before all the others joined??
Dennis passed in 1974[?], so it probably was filmed in 1969. Sam Spoons, Bob Kerr, Vernon Dudley-Bohay Nowell, David Clague, Joel Druckman and others all left before ‘69. There were many more members back before thee filming of “Son Of Exploding Sausage”.
Neil Innes, better known as the magician from Puddle Lane. :-) I wonder what the Spell Dragon is doing these days?
He passed away :/
Taking it all apart in the countryside.
Always presumed the ginger haired boy was Rupert Stanshall
think that's a tad early, although i may be wrong
