Show memories
Somebody who worked for the HR (Hessischer Rundfunk), responsible for the light, said, that there were cameras. HR was/still is a tiny broadcast company and so they would have need a special recording car or something like that.

However, Genesis had to replace a band, and it seems like a member of the band "Gentle Giant" got sick, so Genesis were choosed then.

Some other notes

-The special was called "The Sound of Britain" without "Festival"
-Other Bands would
-Steeleye Span
-Amazing Blondell
-The Early Music Quartett(with instruments of the 16th century) -The First Batallion of the Queens own Highlanders (playing with bagpipes) -Gentle Giant

-Genesis played pretty loud, so many people left the audience.
-Above the stage was written "The artists are using their own audio equipment",which would explain why many people left
