David Bowie performs ‘The Jean Genie’ on BBC TV’s Top of the Pops, originally broadcast on 4 January 1973. The performance was thought lost until cameraman John Henshall revealed that he had a copy of the footage.

The footage uses Telefex Fisheye lenses which were designed by John himself, and because of this John kept the recording for his own showreel. Watch this BBC News report about the discovery.
