Keith, this is a mystery. The tune played by the Philip Catherine lineup is from The Old Grey Whistle Test for sure. You can see the backdrop clearly when they pan out. But when they do Anonymous II? It seemed to me it was part of those same sessions recorded at that castle. Did it really seem like Akkerman was playing to an audience? He was being VERY lazy about some of the lines, almost like they were being worked out. Then it goes into Hocus Pocus and Akkerman screws up and they all stop dead. Although, that "shave and a haircut' ending of Hocus Pocus is certainly one of their concert trademarks.
Then again, I'm a mere mortal who's never seen any of this footage before. I should take the ol' Brit's word for it!
More Bill Nelson, anyone?
