I uploaded this high quality video, from what the presenter says at the beginning, it was recorded in studio for the purpose of this French TV show (Goran Polak's infos are correct), the show was also featuring Brian Auger's Oblivion... My sources says: TV Broadcast May 6th, 1972... This is all I know Glad you like it!
No other band is more closely associated with the 1960s hippie, free love, abundant drug, activism movement than Detroit's MC5. The hard rocking five-piece band poured body and soul into formenting a social-psychoactive revolution that they hoped would reshape the buttoned down, conventional landscape of contemporary American culture. The MC5 was founded on the notion that rules are to be broken and they became the very embodiment of no-holds-barred rock and roll.

Ron Asheton and MGT
Ron described playing with Machine Gun, compared to others, as "like driving a Ferrari" ... unlimited power, speed, and you better know what the f*ck you are doing. --Deniz Tek
THE MOTOR CITY FIVE
Each MC5 record showed a chronological maturity based on growth from our first records to the next one. We went through so many experiences from the bizarre to the sublime. The 5 encountered the dangers of being so politically and musically honest & forthright. Changes we were uncontrollably thrown into, so we morphed like butterflies to survive! We rolled with the haymakers...MGT
