Heat fans should look for an obscure made-in-Florida indie film by exploitation director William Grefe called The Naked Zoo (1970) which features a scene of the band playing “One Kind Favor” at a “house party” - actually a separately shot sequence later inserted into the film’s party scene. It’s the Harvey Mandel lineup. Also the film stars Rita Hayworth near the end of her career. Weird to think of Canned Heat and Rita Hayworth appearing in the same film.

lobby poster of that is upthread, but w/o info you've provided, thanks!
Also, this revive reminds me I still want to hear the Al Wilson anthology:
(2-CD set)His was the voice of the Woodstock generation who asked 'baby, do you want to go' in the Canned Heat anthem Going Up the Country. Now Severn Records releases The Blind Owl, a compilation of Alan Wilson's greatest works with the legendary band he helped form. The Blind Owl features 20 songs of satisfying blues boogie including My Time Ain't Long, Mean Old World, and the band's breakout recording On the Road Again, plus Wilson's prophetic Poor Moon and fan favorite Time Was. In September of 1970 Alan overdosed, making him a member of the 27 Club. Still his legacy remains strong today as proven in this collection of remarkable recordings. The Blind Owl is a must for serious blues collectors as well as fans of 60's psychedelic rock. Packaged in 2-CD digipack with cover art provided by The 27s book.

I listen to a lot of 60s music, but I've always been put off listening to Canned Heat (I did hear their record with John Lee Hooker). Just looking at their dreary album covers gives me enough of the blues. Even though I suspect they're probably better than Quicksilver Message Service or Country Joe and the Fish, both of whom I have listened to...

I posted about it upthread, however the youtube of them performing seems to have disappeared.
