The television series Doing Their Thing, filmed at Granada Studios in Manchester, England, and broadcast on Granada Television, aired from July to September 1970 and featured individual showcases of various artists and bands. It included Family on September 25, 1970. Family, a phenomenal band from the original British progressive rock movement whose name was once almost synonymous with progressive rock in the late 60s and early 70s but has received little attention in the age of the internet, showcased their dynamic performance in this broadcast. Known for their innovative blend of rock, jazz, and folk influences, Family pushed the boundaries of the genre with complex arrangements and emotive musical storytelling. This performance captures the essence of Family's live energy during the early 1970s, offering a glimpse into the band's unique stage presence.
