*This is such a treasure for someone (me) who loves old Eurovision contest's. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video!*

[@albertodillon]

1971 2021 50 years later it reminds me good souvenir about ESC 1971 there were good songs in competition

[@sendowitos8303]

Uffffffff!!!!!! Spain is Top Notch. This singer is amazing.

[@Euroviking86]

An important piece of Eurovision history! Thank you for sharing it!

[@Eurovision-OLD]

How did I never watch this? This is AMAZING! ♥🥰

[@nunovski2002]

28:57 And Tonicha answers in Portuguese! Not like today, bending over backwards just to show we know a few words in Spanish/Russian/Greek/whatever! You go girl!!

[@ve022]

Its shame that the spanish reporter asked Katya if she brought drugs.now days he was fired

[@luvhart]

Wow wow and wow again....just discovering this now!! Thank you for uploading this fantastic piece of Eurovision history

[@Massev6871]

Unbelievable footage!!!

[@FlavioGirl]

thank you for sharing this. beautiful festival :)

[@Texaslawhorn]

Fun! Great look back at the 1971 contest. Thanks for sharing!

[@jesseowens7972]

24.15 min. WOW..... Katja Ebstein. WAS für eine Frau ! Super Stimme, Top Aussehen,... ALLES Peeeeerfekt.

[@MarkFIN871]

Nice video!❤

[@OzgurSAHINs]

The interview of Katja Ebstein remembers me the hate against Germans after the Second World War. I hope we don't witness an exemple of that in this video.

[@Tenortalker]

A great film thank you. Severine's song for Monaco is a Eurovision anthem and she really delivered the vocal. So many of the songs were memorable - didn't spot the Dutch entry 'Tijd' here which was beautiful too?| A great line up of singers Katja , Tonicha , Karina , the first Eurovision appearence of Peter , Sue & Marc and going home without a prize , but great already the young Massimo Ranieri. Clodagh Rogers was a fine entertainer and very popular on UK TV back then. Why did the journalist ask the stunningly talented Katja about narcotics and her legs? She was a major singing star already and had sung successfullly at Eurovision before . A very special contest.

[@fluffeldorf2712]

No, not enough Markku (but this is still amazing to see thank you

[@franciscogomeztorres2584]

Excelente documento. Suecia me gusta mucho en esta edición.

[@dulijanoivancic2692]

[@choozmic63]

delicious years

[@tyrolfan]

It is so crazy, I was born that year!!!!

[@fl7484]

The portuguese girl is very beautiful.

[@MarkellosVicente]

...Frank Pourcel (14 August 1913 - 12 November 2000) was a French composer, spoke about the songs which should be in competition by year 2000, year of his passing... ...and it happens that we are in 2023, and beyond Portugal 2017, with Salvador Sobral, does anybody recall the other winning songs between 2000-2023??? ...practically nobody!!!

[@JeanPardaillan]

What was the point of the stupid reporter asking Ebstein? 25:47

[@HB-bl5mn]

Oho. Looks like the Jugslavian chap became lucky with the Irish bird. Check out 08:42 !

[@nadirhajjour]

The interviewer was very rude to Katja Ebstein

[@Texaslawhorn]

UK's Clodagh ❤

[@luiscondeblazquez8518]

A ver si TVE se enrolla y hace públicos extractos así de la edición de 1964, que no tenemos material audiovisual y me niego a aceptar que nadie tenga nada, ni que sea de ensayos...

[@LuizCarneiro]

También me niego a aceptar que ninguna estación de televisión entre docenas tenga absolutamente nada del Concurso de 1964, especialmente la BBC o DR.

[@awugaESC]

Es mi edición favorita, me encantaría que algún día aparecieran más fragmentos de ese año. :)

[@stephenhowell5611]

Norwegian entry Hanne Krogh was what, 15 here ? She would be back and win in 1985.

[@boazlenn]

👍👍👍

[@joancarlestomas]

Lo de las drogas es algo que preguntaría David Broncano. No lo esperaba de Joaquín Prat

[@Bungle-UK]

Such a tiny venue.

[@arama06318]

2:08 Stuart henry

[@Botafogoplayground]

¿No es parte de "Radiografía de un festival" de Valerio Lazarov para Televisión Española?

[@awugaESC]

Así viene mencionado en la descripción del vídeo, sí. :)

[@Botafogoplayground]

@@awugaESC Ooops! Perdón, no lo vi ...

[@nacht98]

Germany and Spain had better songs than Monaco...other great songs from United Kingdom, Portugal, The Netherlands, Norway...

[@johnvincentfrondoza9715]

[@obscuracamaria2931]

Tenia que haber estado nino bravo lastima

[@elbauldekarina9845]

karina for ever,,,,

[@johnvincentfrondoza9715]

Séverine for ever!!!!!!!!!,,,,,

[@karlssonjlam]

Las preguntas que hace J.Prats son abominables.

[@DG-nv8fs]

Esas preguntas Dios mio... si acaso trae narcoticos... loco, viene al caso? Lo de las piernas, todo... lamentable.
