The only German 1972 video clip that I know anything about is the one
minute clip of Hawkwind doing 'Silver Machine' at a disco with
Stacia, bubbles and all that was done for the BBC Top of the Pops show.
There's a very well dressed German announcer at the beginning saying
something along the lines of (I guess) "This is Hawkwind" but it's
only a minute or so in length.    If the BBC filmed anything longer
than that it seems to have been lost in the archives but if you *do*
know of a full length version........

There was a HawkOn convention in 1985 but I don't know if any videos
were shown then.   It's the only time there has been one I think
although perhaps someone knows of other occasions?
