Trying to track down lost Amy stuff

Okay I decided to put together some of old broken links that contented stuff back in 2004-2007 that is lost and nowhere to be found. These links have problems with flash format which is no longer supports by Adobe or other problems. It’s painful to think that so many stuff is lost forever but as for Amy fans there is always a hope for us.

 

 

2006 AOL backstage interview with Peaches Geldof.

 

Many of us tried to find this one but still no luck.

 

Watch our chat with Amy just before she went onstage to perform at The Winter Warmer. She talks to Peaches Geldof about the success of her new album Back To Black and how all publicity is good publicity.

Bizarre Podcast by The Sun and Victoria Newton (2006)

 

While I was surfing through archived Amy myspace pages I noticed this banner 

QdskD4LN09E.jpg?size=300x128&quality=95&

 

This turned out to be a podcast with music session, was recorded in 2006 and published on The Sun website on December 29, 2006

The link contained the recording and a photo, but nothing has survived in the archives.

 

 

Anke Late Night Show with Anke Engelke (16 sept 2004)

 

Amy Winehouse

 

She is only 19 and is already considered the new vocal wonder of the London music scene. On her debut album “Frank” she mixes many musical styles. On Thursday we can let ourselves be beguiled by Amy’s singing, because she will perform live at Anke Late Night.

I will try my best with my old PC
By the way for Strictly come dancing backstage interview
I found a channel that has all the 2009 season,and this is on week 4 (week 6 according to a dailymotion channel)

I ve checked all the episode, nothing. I checked all the “It takes two” episodes, nothing again.

Anybody has any idea?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQnGjCtoB_l4ZeViLczCWA

 

Here are clips from this episode in BBC:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n8y8k/clips

 

Here is a channel that has all episodes fuller (but not the series "Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two):

(Amy parts are in these two links)

Update: I ve tried with 2 old WIndows PCs (the first with Windows Vista, the second with WIndows 7) with FLash Player for the Aol Interview.

Unfortunately nothing found, I ve just noticed the in Windows 7 PC, it showd me in the newer web archive dates that the content is blocked or somwthing like this, while in the older dates archived (early 2007) it required the last Flash Player.

So if anyone has the last player and runs the older dates (I think March 2007) we have some hopes of seeing the interview of Amy at Aol..

I wanted to say also that Amy told in an audio interview that she was the one who introduced Sugarbabes in the Winter Warmer Aol concert 2006, so if we get the sugarbabes part, we may see some good unseen Amy.

I’ll try my best getting this to work. Like i did with the old amy winehouse website. Let’s hope we can get it to work.

Also, there is something in 2007 called AT&T Blue Room  which was on Myspace archived
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13211038/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_28

 

https://www.amywinehouseforum.co.uk/forum/topic/11355-att-blue-room-footage/

 

And as you can see in the “self” section there are more lost appearances:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1561881/?ref_=tt_cl_i_4

 

These are: 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1143133/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_21

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1997435/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_27

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454730/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_15

 

For the last link, there is Amy in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J54coE3Lc90 in 1:41 which is No Good music video, but if it was only the music video, it would be in listed in IMDB as archive footage. A similar episode from early 2007 is on the channel: https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/miradas-2/tras-2-miradas-2/377237/

 

A full list of episodes is here: https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/miradas-2/, but from 2008 and so on

Thanks for all the info and links.

Also, there is something like a backstage special for Brits 2007 where Amy has a part. Proof is this video:
https://youtu.be/oiL4WLPw6NQ

which starts with the voiceover saying: “although a man who s never needed Rehab is Noel Gallagher”

I can’t find it anywhere, but I bet this and the emission “Brits Are Coming” by ITV (the show where Amy performed Back to Black: https://youtu.be/gDa7vznDTEM ) they both have unseen footage of Amy

There are 2 tributes which aren’t compatible with VPN so only people from UK can find them.
First is a 2019 doc with 9 minutes of Amy called “The decade the music died” from Sky Arts.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11572498/

If you have installed the “Sky Go” pc app you can downlod or watch the doc, but in my pc (Greece) via vpn or without it says error code 1304 or 1504.

Also, something mentioned inearlier posts, there is the Strand Weekend special (2011) which is still available on BBC, but to me it shows error “Not available in this device” with whatever device I try, With vpn or without.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p00j2pq3

I have found a similar broadcast but with half the diration and not something interesting
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p00hz34l

Finally, Zalin site has much much stuff available, if flash player is found:
https://web.archive.org/web/20110702154552/http://www.zalononline.com/?tag=amy-winehouse

 

UPDATE: As for BBC strand Weekend archive, the second link is probably the actual broadcast, and that is because it has the same name, in the same date, and the first link writes:

“In this week’s edition of the weekend show, _ the entire first half _ of the programme is dedicated to Amy Winehouse.”

 

That means that the 2 links have also the same duration. So, nothing new from the strand weekend special.

Important update, if anyone is interested:

There is a plugin called Lightspark, which works with a browser called Palemoon. It doesn’t exactly work on me, but I see some differences on the stuff that is shown on Wayback Machine, like more photos etc.

 

Here is the github page of Lightspark:

https://lightspark.github.io/

 

Here is how you can download lightspark and Palemoon:

If someone can work it out, I remmber someone askef for Valerie on higher defintion from MTV 45th at night. Here it is directly from the site, but it requires the flash to work properly:

http://web.archive.org/web/20090415074335/http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/152270/valerie-live.jhtml#artist=1742872

(it may need a vpn US proxy)

 

What is more, here is the full page of Amy in MTV:
http://web.archive.org/web/20120623164208/http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/winehouse_amy/shows.jhtml

There is an interview Amy gave to Ian “Molly” Meldrum, which has disappeared many years from youtube.

https://mega.nz/file/Zd5iRJDI#VhmzdtE8kCLkarZUGW-ftCt6XR7KjEQlAHd7zGVNlk4
(The sound is from Valerie at Bowery Ballroom, not something new, I just added it) 

I found the snippet at the former youtube account “Amy Winehouse” with 40k subscribers (who was “1954774”, and now "HalfTime. and “AmyWinehouse.”)

When I found this snippet I asked the account for more footage, but he/she answered that he/she has nothing more.

 

Info about this interview are literally VANISHED from the net, excpet a very small text from 2007:

‘Sunrise’ Talks With Amy Winehouse

‘Sunrise’ music correspondent Molly Meldrum flew to New York to have a cramped chat with new sensation Amy Winehouse, talking about ‘Rehab’ and talk she’ll do a James Bond theme.

 

Video at YouTube has since been removed.

Probably the talks show (or whatever) was named “Sunrise”, and is part of the Australian TV (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428169/)

In IMDb about Sunrise at Austaralian TV (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428169/reviews), it is written in December 2004 reviews:

 

“The best move Channel Seven made to try and take over Channel Nine in Breakfast television was when they signed Music Guru Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum to be a judge of popular reality show ‘Popstars’. He then became the Music reporter for Sunrise after being with Nine for so many years.”

IAN ‘MOLLY’ MELDRUM

BASED: MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

He’s our home-grown legend, Molly the Music Guru. Internationally, he is a friend of the famous, respected by the music industry - Ian “Molly” Meldrum “knows his stuff”! For four decades, Ian has nurtured local talent and played a key role in placing Australian contemporary recording artists on the world map.

 

During the Swingin’ Sixties, Ian worked within the television industry and as a journalist for Go Set mag. The phenomenal invasion of the British music scene impacted here, and a young Australian music industry burst forth. A creative record producer, Ian worked with Russell Morris, John Paul Young, Ronnie Burns, Colleen Hewit, John Farnham, Zoot, Masters Apprentices and many more. In 1968, on the eve of his departure for London, Ian learned that his first produced record “Hush” by Somebody’s Image, had hit the number one spot on the Victorian charts.

 

In England, Ian joined EMI Records, enabling him to work in the famous Abbey Road studios. He continued to write for Go Set and earned the first of many world exclusives - he was invited by John Lennon to do an interview with himself and Yoko Ono. During this interview, Lennon announced that The Beatles would be breaking up. Future exclusives included: Madonna (1986) for MTV America, and Michael Jackson (1987) for 60 Minutes.

 

There is no doubt that, for all his notoriety here in Australia, “Molly” is best known as the creator of the institution that was Countdown. For 13 years, this ABC TV program showcased the finest, the newest, the up-and-coming of local and overseas recording artists. The program became so widely respected that H.R.H.Prince Charles famously appeared as a special guest on Countdown.

 

Tirelessly, Ian continued his commitment to the industry as a journalist, radio presenter, a TV producer - he was responsible for a 24 episode series, The Meldrum Tapes, broadcast on ABC TV, and MTV in U.S.A., Asia and Japan.

 

In the late 1980’s, “Molly” joined another television institution, the long-running Hey Hey It’s Saturday. Molly’s Melodrama was a popular segment, for 12 years, as Ian travelled the globe bringing back more stories, more exclusives, including a one-on-one with each member of The Rolling Stones, filmed in Tokyo.

 

Since the eighties, there has been so much more involvement in music television (both free-to-air and pay TV) including The Drum, House of Hits, The Cool Room, Premier, Popstars, “specials” with Enrique Iglesias, Abba, Kylie, Cher, Bette Midler, Michael Buble & Mariah Carey. Today, Ian continues to work for Seven Network’s Sunrise program and mid 2005 hosted a special on Fox 8 for the Live 8 Concert.

In the video he is the one who is wearing the hat, as he is always wearing the hat. I had written about this snippet some months ago but I can’t find the thread.

I duscovered that with Pale moon ans lightspark I can play flash player AUDIO files, so if you have found anything similar that doesn’t work, please paste the link here :slight_smile:

On the Monday following the day that Amy passed Molly was on the Sunrise show and had the interview to air, but unfortunately there was some sort of technical difficulty with showing the clip and it never got aired. I was hoping it would surface again on the 10th anniversary last year, but sadly that wasn’t the case

https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/documentaries/voxpop.shtml

This radio doc probably talks about Amy as well, but I can’t find it. Im based on this comment on the photo:

Our very own Greg Boraman was lucky enough to see Amy in action recently, delivers his take of Radio 2’s latest prodigy and her performance.

 

Amy’s own meteoric rise appears to yet impact upon Amy Winehouse; her amiable and relaxed demeanour during this short set performed in front of the music industry, may mean that two Brit Award nominations and instant accolades have, so far, failed to unnerve this 20 year old North London singer/songwriter. Her debut album Frank was only released last October and yet the excitement and genuine praise she has already attracted speaks volumes about her instant appeal. Resplendent in a 1940’s style char ladies headscarf (and some seriously attention seeking heels!) Amy seems a totally relaxed character, bemused rather than unnerved by the constant praise and tips for the top.

 

Amy Winehouse in PersonIn fact, her confidence allows her to perform alone, with just the odd wisecrack and the accompliament of her own funky guitar chords to back up that voice. And it is the voice that is really the secret of her appeal. The ‘20-a-day’ jazz styling and the apparent but not overbearing musical influences blend into a seriously versatile instrument. Kicking off this set with the very cheeky ‘Love is Blind’ - it is staggering to hear how Winehouse stretches out her own melodies and lyrics, crossing the beat, improvising with ease and displaying an apparently effortless ability to imbue her hook laden compositions with real attitude, humour and personality. Furthermore, having checked a few of her recent live performances, it is now clear that Winehouse rarely performs any of her songs the same way twice - in a genuine jazz tradition.

 

Performing other highlights from Frank including the debut Stronger Than Me, Take The Box and In My Bed, one has the feeling that for Amy at least, these songs are already standards, and she is itching to let us hear the next batch of her acerbic, witty, honest and well observed lyrics, all framed within her unique retro yet contemporary urban soul/jazz template.

 

There are few artists whose wide appeal can result in their music gracing both the Radio 2 and 1Xtra play lists at the same time. It says a great deal about her musical knowledge, ability, influences and very natural talent. What is exciting is that the best is surely yet to come.

There are three files available under the format .asx, which can be downloaded, but I haven’t made it to play them, so don’t know whether they are the original songs or the songs played that night

 

 


 

There is also one file here: http://web.archive.org/web/20050924174537/http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/urban/peterson/wwfamily_archive.shtml

 

but it is .ram and I can’t play it as well

The file can not be opened at it is the link file to the original file. Sadly the link is gone and so is the steam.

 

it used to be streamed at rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554

Video: Amy Winehouse and eight everyday objects

‘Did you get all that from the corner shop?’
Her new album’s got rave reviews across the board and with tales of late-night antics filling the gossip pages, she’s got that angle covered too. But what does Amy Winehouse make of pomegranates? Or the washing up? Or, for that matter, Rasputin the mad monk? She told all to Guardian Unlimited Music.

Hi! Can you please upload the video somehwere? I am not able to watch it because the website seems to be old.

I cannot view it either, that’s why I pasted it here :squinting_face_with_tongue:
