Interesting find. Mostly about Brian but there is extended footage where Mike talks with real emotions about the dead off Dennis .

I LOVE seeing these old interviews. Reminds me of all of the stuff I recorded on tape back in the 1980s. I remember being so excited to see Brian looking healthy again. Landy did a GREAT JOB......then he turned a very dark corner with Brian. But no one could have gotten Brian to start getting better but Gene, except in a hospital. And Brian did not want to be in a hospital.
By the way, some of this tape was used in the AMERICAN BAND video later that year.

The way Landy sits with Brian during this interview always disturbed me. He sits there like he owns Brian, rather than works for Brian. The nature of their relationship was on display for everyone.
Brian still had a lot of power in his falsetto this time.

Landy looked and talked Svengali right from the beginning— on national TV! And Brian, though thinner, acted and sounded weirder than when he did cocaine. It’s puzzling how this charade lasted for almost a decade.

Thanks for posting this-- fascinating stuff for sure. I'm surprised that the media seemed to be questioning Landy's methods this early on; I guess I've always suspected that that didn't start until around the time of the lawsuit.

I can't help think that his physical closeness to Brian in some of these interviews alerted people to his possessive nature.

Given the surface nature of the report it's a surprisingly well-written, balanced and thoughtful one.
