Place this TV memory (70s circus act?)

[ajsmith2]

Would have seen this in the 80s, but I think it would have been made earlier. Probably 70s. Documentary about a unique circus act consisting of two tight rope walkers whose shtick was one would piggy back on top of the other, who was blindfolded, so he had to rely of the guidance of the guy sitting on the top and they depended on each other for their lives with each performance. Both of them looked like typical long haired 70s hippies. Think they were dressed in white flowing robes. The soundtrack was really depressing funereal Procol Harum/World In Action style organ music.

That ring any bells for anyone?

Sounds like something one of The Flying Wallendas would get up to. The piggyback thing sounds like a bit of a daft gimmick as tightrope walkers often do solo blindfold performances and usually don't need an extra 10 stone on their back telling them which way to go.
