My first Brian Auger album was with Julie Driscoll, and I purchased as many that arrived in Pittsburgh. Of course albums and later CDs had linear notes, which gave me a greater appreciation for Rod Stewart who was his original vocalist. Little did I know that John McLaughlin cut his jazz chops with Brian Auger. Auger tackled one of the most difficult Eddie Harris tunes, Freedom Jazz Dance, in my opinion he did it justice. This is a monster concert, however I saw them without a vocalist, they toured with songs from the 3rd and 4th album; they killed Wes Montgomery's Bumpin on the Sunset. I've got stories about that album 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

these guys are great musicians, great that people are still listening.. cheeers!

My uncle, Lennox Langton is the conga player!

Clive Chaman is a monster on that Fender Pre.His playing here and his work with The Jeff Beck Group puts him in with a very elite group of bassist IMHO.

This is one of my favorite artists. Certainly Hammond B-3 players. I saw him once at a place called Shaboo inn, near UConn. It was intense. I have literally everything he’s done. He’s played on other artists. Now he was playing with son on drums, daughter on vocals. For us jazz rock enthusiasts, he is amazing. Brain Damage was on one Lp. Outstanding musician

Freedom Jazz Dance...WOW!!!!....This band is phenomenal!!!!

I have been a long time fan of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express.... Great band & Brian is an excellent keyboardist underrated & under appreciated...

Brian Auger is the last of my Top 5 all time greats still living, and I hope he continues on for many more years doing what he does best- playing great keyboards! Saw him live on the above tour for the first time back at The Warehouse in New Orleans opening for The Crusaders. The only reason I think Brian was never a bigger star is that he never took the commercial route in terms of looking for a 'Top 40' hit- it was just about making great music...

It was not until '78 that I was introduced to B.A.. Been a fan ever since! He has now brought in this son and daughter, who are both assets. Talent runs in families

Truly gifted musicians!

Great set !! I thought immediately that the singer worked with Santana. One wiki visit confirmed it.... What a band !! 🚬😎

Look at the date it was recorded ...... in those days there are different kind of music with their directions ... so there is much choice ... Brain is one of many.

Saw Brian and the Oblivion Express in the late 70’s @ the Caramaran in SD Second Time at the Anthology in the 90’s He is a Master keyboardist And His Children Sabana and Karma are incredibly Talented check he has contributed with many greats Buddy Guy and Klaus Doldinger , Julie Tippetts!

Clive Chaman's bass solo at 8:30...... OMG....

Merci Jazz on MV via Brian Auger's Oblivion Express : concert 1975 💖♪ ♫ 🎸🎹🌺: " Brian Auger - organ, vocals Jack Mills - lead guitar Alex Ligertwood - vocals, guitar, percussion Clive Chaman - bass Lennox Laington - congas David Dowle - drums "

Высшая школа джаз-рока. Не для школьников. Вне моды и времени - изначально и по сей день, но! - в первых рядах первооткрывателей, основоположников, пионеров ноу-хау изысканий, учредителей жанра. В одно время, в один момент с Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Jan Hammer/Jerry Goodman/Billy Cobham, Allan Holdsworth, Magma, Joe Zawinul, George Duke. Состав удивительно без лишних/дежурных, ангажированных инсайдеров типа "жон мафваленков (мафвафлин)". Сегодня (17.11.21) открывается во всей своей красе Alex Ligertwood - буквально непризнанный гений. Brian Auger - вождь и продюсер своей чемпионской сборной - и сам по сей день непризнанный гений. Крепкого здоровья всем, кто остаются с нами по сей день!

I am not a keyboardist and can't say much about whether Brian Auger is the no. 1 for keyboard tecnique or not. But I am sure he is the no. 1 for the grooving. You can feel that in any of his recordings and live performances, no doubt.

Brian is a Genius !!!! " Bumpin' On Sunset " Spaced Out !!!! 😍😍😍😍

C'est un plaisir musical grandiose renouvelable que de réentendre et revoir ce Concert ! Merci à nouveau Jazz on MV via Brian Auger & amis musiciens de 1975 « 💖♪ ♫ 🎸 🎹🌺

i was at this show with pals up in the balcony, thought it might fall off. Winterland was AMAZING! Cant remember who else played that night. Anyone else there remember them doing 'happiness is just around the bend'... what a life it was!!! cant remember it all, anyone else can fill in blanks?

Followed Brian Auger in the early 60's at most of the small clubs he talks about. Just amazing and never disapointed. Knowone out there with that ability to play. A one off - never to be repeated again. SAD!

increcible band, and brian is absolutelty genious

This band is fantastic and Mr. Auger is one of the greatest keyboardist I ever heard. I’d like to see him playing in Montreal.

It's great! Thanks a lot!! From BRAZIL!!!

Wow, I just saw Brian along with Alex, and Brian's son Karma on drums and Dan Lutz on Bass do some of these same songs two weeks ago April 24 AND 25 in LA....some 40 years later and Brian is still the Hammond Master! Love that man and his bands....then and now!

Great to see such uninhibited playing, thanks for the post!

I've just heard this for the first time in forty years the live version! Jack Mills is an unbelievable guitarist!! Wow!

What a supergang of great musicians! Fantastic concert and Brian Auger on organ..............WOW!

Got hooked on OE around '73 when heard "Happiness is Just Around the Bend". I was at the St. Louis version of this concert. Front row directly in front of Jack Mills.

This is some of coolest far out electric jazz ever recorded!

Thanks a lot "Jazz on MV" for this great Concert "Winterland "de 1975 🌺💖♪♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹 Viva Brian Auger : organ, vocals & other magic men : "Jack Mills - lead guitar Alex Ligertwood - vocals, guitar, percussion Clive Chaman - bass Lennox Laington - congas David Dowle - drums ." - Jazz so Jazz🎺🌺🎧🎼🎩🎩🎩

Bringing down the house. Brian Auger one of the greats from the 60's/70's.

Thanks again Brian Auger's Oblivion Express ♥️🎶🎹🎹🎹🥁🎸🎶

Quanti ricordi ,ero solo una ragazzina quando con la tua splendida famiglia trascorrevi qualche giorno in casa nostra in Sardegna , un saluto affettuoso ,chissà se questo sms verrà mai letto

48年前のコンサートを見られるなんて。アップしてくれて本当にありがとう！

Amazingly good!

Thanks for the upload. Brought back memories. I saw this same line-up at The Joker, a big bar in Elyria, Ohio while I was attending community college. The Joker featured local favorites, Fayreweather. Michael Stanley and sometimes well-known acts like the Oblivion Express, in in its short run. Admission: $5, pitchers of 3.2 beer:$2.50.

Great!

Live recordings of the BEST quality always from Oblivion Express. This is Mind Blowing. Im not worthy!

What a treasure. Thanks for posting. Brian Auger kills!

A fabulous band... ahead of their time

Brian always delivered,,,,

Very nice sound..👍

The Brian Auger Oblivion Express's "SECOND WIND" LP is mind-blowing. If you are a musician you have to hear this. It's all about the pocket.

I just saw an interview of Auger talking about the first time he met Hendrix, so I wanted to hear this guy. This band was really good.

Being a big Eric Burdon💜 fan I've loved him since he performed with Eric💜

Thanks "Jazz on MV3"🌺 for this full Concert of Brian Auger"s Oblivion Express : " 11/29/1975 - Winterland (San Francisco, CA)." Thanks for your "personnel" notes : "Brian Auger - organ, vocals Jack Mills - lead guitar Alex Ligertwood - vocals, guitar, percussion Clive Chaman - bass Lennox Laington - congas David Dowle - drums."🙋‍🎼💜🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧🎼✿ܓ" ✿ܓ"

Wow! This is how I grew up. Drowning in great music. When Winterland was being demolished I worked about 4 blocks away. On a day the wrecking ball wasn't being used I sneaked inside for the last time with a co worked. There were still some posters up, but they were damaged. Took a piece of rubble as a souvenir. Lost it years later. That place saw some of the best musical performances ever. Like this one!

Super Brilliant !!

Darn me! Never thought that Brian could get this FUNKY, i listened and bought his studio albums but this is something different (nope i don't got carried away by this bad as conga player, not even by this heavenly funky bass player)...Man ! i wish i was born a decade or two earlier. LYMAN WOODARD any one?

Very excellent!

Brian Auger LIVE im ZOOM.. Frankfurt.. 🎸🎆🎸🎆

Great Band, loved the originality of this band. Good Stuff. Thanks Brian Auger and Oblivion Express.

la phenominale !! what a band !

Saw BA 2 times at a liitle Cleveland Cub called Nighttown....just in the last 14 years. Brian credits Cleveland FM radio stations WMMS and WNCR for his success in the US.

Awesome!

Cool concert ...Thanks.

very well....

we covered a couple of his songs in a rock band in 1977,, I still have about four of his albums

thank you

kicks ASS!

Fantastic!!!!!

John Lord for the Jazz Funk? It seems like... I loving it

Que spectacular!

Seen this exact lineup...bout 72-3-4..I'm so old damn...stanbaugh aud.youngstown ohio.mobtown....first show ever ...I think ..grrrrrrr

Reinforcements is probably my favorite. It's great to hear Brain Damage live.

Auger is simply one of the best ever?

Had this wax disk (Reinforcements) back in the day. Wore the grooves off it too.

that first song Bass gaiter solo wes OFF THE HOOK Clyde!

Saw him approx. same year in Minneapolis opening for Herbie Hancock.

The great Alex Ligertwood! His work David Sancious is extraordinary. Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics for this version of Freedom Jazz Dance? The studio version is great.

Spitze

great to hear Alex before he got to Santana ..

Cowbelllissimo!

Thanks "Jazz on MV" 🌺 via Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express 💙🎼🎹🎺🎸🌺🎧🎼🎼💙 " Brian Auger - organ, vocals Jack Mills - lead guitar Alex Ligertwood - vocals, guitar, percussion Clive Chaman - bass Lennox Laington - congas David Dowle - drums " 🎩🎩🎩 -

one people dislikes and doesnt know what good music is.

sunset

Almost 50 years old but still swinging.., Thanks to the geniuses back then Copenhagen supports

Alex Ligertwood sang with Santana also...

I like his more recent work with the legendary Billy Cobham

4:13 Son of Barney Miller interlude. Well done.

Nice groove 3:00

Alex Ligertwood sang with the Dregs too!

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hear Wes Montgomery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could have never heard this name until now? I didn’t think I was living under a rock, I thought I was a little bit more with the program…. The Baked Potato videos first , Now research and. Catchup with missing the boat….

Good bassists are rarely appreciated by an audience

Wow what a band and who is the bass-player? ;-)

fastest right hand ever

Skunk Baxter meets Chuck Negron and then there is Screamin' Alex Ligertwood. Julie Driscoll was cool, too! Brian Auger smokes as usual.

"... the Brain Auger sound .... "

Brain damage was nothing like this, trust me. Oblivion express is closer to the mark

FUNKING GROOVY BAND and I have not even heard of them before; too good I suppose for the BBC.

Alexs' cowbell gets old fast

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't David Dowle Whitesnake's original drummer before Coverdale decided to go with Ian Paice from Deep Purple?

legendary masters//today's music is trash

This makes me need to change my undies. Incredible.

Brian is on of the infulential musicin. It is the fact... Than you)

GREAT Band! Why don't they play this music anymore? So much Shit around

11:05 Tough crowd 😆
