For irredeemable 70s hippies only ...

ELP Pictures At An Exhibition '71
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P500LW2HNdE

Not the easiest of albums to get into. Though curiously a clip of 'Fanfare for the common man' was used at international athletics meets maybe into even the 90s, as a prelude to each event....

The Stranglers - Live at the Hope & Anchor 1977 [a big music pub in North London]

Classic Stranglers album. Pre-punk.
Great recording.

Stuff life this really changed music between say 1976 and 1978. Out with tired old boring stuff, 20 minute themes on a mozart variation, sweep it all away and start again ....

Or so was the theory ... it mostly worked.

As my old man used to say . . . I resemble that remark.

This other link has video for their PAAE concert, but the sound quality isn't as good:

However, you do get to see Emerson spinning & dropping his organ near the end creating the somewhat chaotic sounds for "The Great Gates of Kiev."

...and you.re not the only one...

That was one of the few half-way decent clips of them live at their peak, nice to see excerpts from The Nice in there. There's one more, maybe the same tour, where they do parts of Trilogy.

This was the better Fanfare clip, though not sure it's actually live.

This would not be complete with out a clip (have I posted this before?)
Renaissance Can You Understand

The Stranglers - Live at the Hope & Anchor 1977

78 minutes of pretty revelationary stuff....

A friend just proposed a 'triangulation' as a basis for punk.

The Sex Pistols in the UK
The Ramones in the US
The Saints in Australia....

I'd never heard of the latter - hmmm ....

A nice mix of Flamenco and Scottish Folk:

Vicente Amigo - Rio de La Seda

Brah, I think you got the link wrong for that Renaissance track; here's a clip of that song:

Renaissance - Can You Understand

Here's another one of their tracks - the title of which perfectly describes the ship you see on the left, from which a lot of their music was played in the 70's:

Renaissance - Ocean Gypsy

Some nice bass flourishes early in link one, he really is giving his limited space to roam a good go there

Then in comes her vocals. Evidently classicly trained. Crisp (over-crisp?) enunciation. Reminds me - in a weird way - of Nico ex Velvet Underground (etc), but the latter's enunciation was more smacked-out/Teutonic. Yes, really dynamic and effortless vocals here.... nice.
Middle instrumental section, all a bit whimsical and ostentatious.
Back to the bass-lead, and her vocals again, then acoustic gittar/strings (+ porno 4-chord keys into the end etc).
Yes nice, I enjoyed that

She is operatically trained, and has an 8 (I think) octave range; he is a good player, not technically great but some of the parts are written out (some of their music, the Neo-Classical parts, is based on existing classics) but I always liked playing his lines.

Amigo was write, I posted the wrong link, I meant to post the one clip of them doing that song live I could find since searching for it years ago
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC744nDaUr0

but the best performance of this is the Carnegie Hall show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0GwerPCClQ
they had it all polished up by then, and even more ostentatious with the NYP behind them

for more of his bass work this features him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEo1okwkeZM but it's pretty long. song and his solo is a couple of minutes too long for what it is...
