Hi!
Well I know of three other performances that aren't listed, but I don't have any dates for you sorry! One is from the Flip Wilson Show, one is the Carol Burnett Show, and one is Dick Van Dyke. I'll look for the picture from this one. He's dancing in a tux!

Here's a picture I found from the Flip Wilson Show!

I don't know what year The Flip Wilson Special ran, looks like an early photo of Freddie, maybe 74', '75 ? And Van Dyke and Co. ran from September to December of 1976, so that would have been when Freddie appeared, as for Carol Burnett, was he on her variety show at all ? than ran till '78.
