One of my more enduring recollections of Phun City is when, just after the MC5 had left the stage, "Legs" Larry Smith, of the Bonzo Dog Band appeared. On an upright piano (god knows where that came from), dressed in formal top hat & tails, he banged out the The Theme From Exodus as a ballet dancer in an immaculate white tutu pirhouetted beside him. It was thoroughly existential. Wwwhatsup 21:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ronan O'Rahilly did film the event. The footage was long thought lost but, in late 2019, has been unearthed. Jeff Dexter has posted a few framegrabs on facebook. Wwwhatsup (talk) 07:34, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
