Keep in mind this rare footage was crap quality to begin with as it was converted so many times from Beta to VHS for 26 years before it got to me... but hey it's free and we should never complain when something is free right? Besides that it's rare to find something from TV that many years ago still around. Rory's Montreux Concerts are available for sale on 5-30-06, so go to Amazon.com, Shop.com, Buy.com, CDuniverse.com or others and buy the DVD. The Rockpalast Shows have been available for quite sometime now are now available in Europe like Amazon.de. I don't believe these German shows are in NTSC format- PAL only so they will only play on your computer DVD player.
This footage is from Don Kirschners "In Concert" which was aired in 1975 includes a 4 minute portion of "Cradle Rock". This is very nice for the filesize- you need Windows Media Player to play it. The download is 8 megabytes for the DSL Version and 1.3 Megabytes for the low bandwidth version.

Updated 6/6/01 I uploaded (2) 20 minute segments. Montreux Jazz Festival 1979- Rory's Performance
Everytime I hear "Montreux" it reminds me of: "We all came out to Montreux, on the Lake Geneva shoreline..."
What a beautiful city.
Video of Rory at Montreux 1979
and some
additional footage from TV where Rory is interviewed, a performance at Cardi's Houston and Ulster, Belfast TV Acoustic performance with his national guitar of "Ride on Red". Thanks. I have collected alot of hours of Rory video footage and enjoy it all whether the quality is good or not since it is so hard to find.
