Stumbled upon this gem only moments ago. Unfortunately there is no audio, what I wouldn't give to hear it! Appears to be at a trade show, perhaps a Rickenbacker booth, promoting their instruments and amplifiers? Anymore information would be greatly appreciated.

Whilst, for all I know, some of you may have seen earlier television footage of the master, no such things are widely available so this is also the earliest JB footage I know of full-stop!

Some quick perusal of the poster's other videos suggests to me that this is a National Association of Music Merchants trade show. I believe we may be able to narrow it down further to June or July of that year, but further assistance would be required.

Quite a find! good look at JB;'s technique even with no audio.

Here's a color shot from another happy NAMM moment with JB, Speedy West and Fender's Forrest White (glasses).
