Ray Charles Live In Amsterdam (1968)

On 21 February 1969 AVRO (on Nederland 1) aired a 45 minute edit (directed by Bob Rooyens) of the All New Ray Charles Show 1968, a concert programmed for 5 October 1968 (actually it was 6 October, since the concert started at midnight) at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. A 25-minute edit of the same footage was aired on August 20, 1969.
The music critic of the Nieuwsblad van het Noorden, stipulated that the show offered "something for everybody", starting with "virtuose dancing" and a great rendition of Satisfaction by Billy Preston, followed by the Genius with a setlist including Georgia On My Mind, Margie, Yesterday, Going Down Slow, Crying Time, Eleanor Rigby, and What'd I Say. "Being blind since his sixth year, he never learned to control his body movements. He swayed heavily on the music with his arms and legs". "When the Radletts [sic!] came on stage, the show reached a climax. They were not the three fat ladies anymore led by Marjorie Hendricks, but four thin girls: Clyd[i]e King, Alexandra Brown, Gwendolyn Berry and Merry Clayton".
Music critic Ben Bunders missed the "spark" in Ray's performance (comparing the show with Ray's earlier concerts in Holland, and with more recent shows in Amsterdam by Aretha, Ike & Tina and Sam & Dave).
The next day almost all Dutch newspapers had a story on local tenor player Rudy Brink, who was hired - on the day of the concert - to sub with the Ray Charles Orchestra, but nevertheless 'didn't miss a note, and even took a few nice solos'.

The footage seems to be lost for ever.

Ray Charles à Le Festival International De Jazz De Montréal (1983, 1985)

On 4 July 1983 Ray Charles gave a concert at the Théâtre St-Denis, for the Montreal Jazz Fest. A brief clip, probably produced for the CBC News, remains. We hear small parts of What'd I Say, and Georgia On My Mind. Watch it here; for a historical overview of the festival with some of the same What'd I Say footage see this clip from 1999. For a flipbook of the 1983 festival brochure, click this.

Hines - bass, Rick Kirkland - drums. The Raelettes: Trudy Cohran Hunter, Anne Johnson, Janice Mitchelll, Elaine Woodard, Estella Yarbrough.

* Reconstuction with help of Jeff Kaye, Robbie Kwock and Dean Congin.

The documentary Jazz Greats At The Montreal International Jazz Festival (1985) used another song from this same concert. The series was presented by Oscar Peterson, and featured Miles Davis, Maynard Ferguson, Jean-Luc Ponty, Dave Brubeck, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Cleo Laine, Tony Bennett, Pat Metheny, Buddy Rich, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, and Stephane Grappelli.

JazzOnFilm lists three parts (only Ponty, Rollins and Gillespy are missing):

• Part 1: Maynard Ferguson, Tony Bennett, Dave Brubeck, Pat Metheny.
• Part 2: Buddy Rich, Miles Davis.
• Part 3: Stephane Grappelli, Cleo Laine & John Dankworth, Ray Charles, with archival footage from his concert on 4 July 1983 (see this).

The episode with Ray showed him performing Oh, What A Beautiful Morning (at 8:04;  part of the Eb shout chorus has shamelessly been edited out) from the 1983 Montreal Festival described above:

Ray Charles À Le Premier Festival De Jazz De Montréal (1980)

On 2 July 1980 Ray Charles opened the Montreal Jazz Fest, at the Place des Nations. The CBC Téléjournal had a brief announcement (made by Paul Toutant), showing how Ray's piano is being prepared for the concert that night.

Ray Charles Ft. In Oscar Peterson Very Special (1976)

In the 1970s Ray Charles and Oscar Peterson toured a lot together in Europe, where Norman Granz was their impresario.
The Montreal Gazette from 17 September 1976 (probably published shortly after the actual taping) had a brief article stating that The Oscar Peterson Superspecial "was more lively an hour of fine jazz piano trio and big band music with guests Ray Charles and impresario Norman Granz contributing as well. Peterson talks a bit and plays a lot in the course of this show."

Concert portions were videotaped at the Minkler Auditorium (Seneca College); other tunes in a CBC studio.
Other than suggested by the clips and photos in this article, the show was taped in color. The program was directed by by Ron Meraska.

The show was aired by CBC on 14 November 1976, under the title Oscar Peterson: Very Special.

Ray Charles and the band performed a flawless version of Then We'll Be Home (Sadies Tune), and Ray and Oscar together played Blues For Big Scotia, which - including the intro from Nat King Cole's Sweet Lorraine - was part of Ray's live repertoire since 1973:

 

Then We'll Be Home (Sadies Tune):

The CBC Archive database (IDs B-01435, B-01947, D-007786) adds some more information:

Guests are Ray Brown (double bass), Herb Ellis (guitar), Louis Bellson (drums), Zoot Sims and Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis (tenor saxophones), Roy Eldridge and Clark Terry (trumpets), the Rick Wilkins Orchestra, and special guest, American singer Ray Charles.
Music producer and Peterson's manager Norman Granz introduces the show, which pays tribute to the musical influences in Peterson's life including Art Tatum, Nat King Cole, and Duke Ellington.

Wilkins' group includes Gary Morgan, Jerry Toth, Eugene Amaro, Moe Koffman (saxophones); Rob McConnell, Butch Watanabe (trombones); and Guido Basso, Arnie Chycoski (trumpets).

In 1978 Chuck Barris hosted a short lived prime time variety hour for NBC, called The Chuck Barris Rah-Rah Show. The format essentially was a noncompetitive knock-off of The Gong Show (cf. this). On 7 March 1978 at 8 p.m. Ray appeared in a line-up with Henny Youngman, Clifton Davis, Patti LaBelle, Jim Bailey, Al Green, Jaye P. Morgan and Margo Smith, "in the ongoing crusade to put a dent in ABC's rating lock on this spot" (source here).
