Italian TV on one of several concerts from early March 1971 from the O'lympia Theatre, Paris France

Audio is probably mono. Color video quality is passable. Check the screen caps. A few tracking drops scattered throughout but nothing sustained. I call it "Vintage" video. Color is "washy" to say the least. But this is some rarely seen stuff. Received this from french trader many years ago. Yes it is Bootsy on bass. I believe this is better than most circulating versions. Chapters every 5min or so.
