Let's Talk Dusty!

Hi Frans and Graham,
It seems likely that this is the French 1966 performance Graham is referring to. There was quite a discussion about what it was Dusty seems to be throwing at the beginning of it over on one of the Facebook discussion pages. I agree, Dusty should have recorded this one in French (one of those 'if only' things and I have a lot of those with Dusty songs and non-Dusty songs that I think she would have improved :) ). I don't Richard Anthony and on that showing (it's not awful) I probably will stick to Dusty. I'm reminded of Fançoise Hardy's cover of Dusty's own 'Once Upon a Time',

Thanks Darren. Now where was it filmed ? My guess a gallery in US possibly Los Angeles. Any thoughts ?

I've seen this before but never realised that Dusty almost trips on that second step!

It was the Los Angeles County Museum of Art 5905 Wilshire Blvd, where Dusty did this photo shoot several years later (notice the paving in the forecourt at the end of the video):

Thanks Maggie, I knew someone would know. I had a feeling it might be LA - but just a guess,

Here's a photo of the museum from the front, you can compare easily with the video from half way through. I'd never noticed the slight trip before either Cas [:)]

Thanks for putting this gem up, Darren! And I didn't spot that slight trip either :shock:

Dusty didn't seem too impressed by the art, though, did she? And she didn't know what to do with her hands! :lol:

I was at the LACMA earlier this year, actually looking for the spot of the '70s photo shoot, but of course, everything has changed now. Thanks for finding a photo from the appropriate time, Carole!
