My hubby and I cannot wait to finally see the Incredible String Band on this show. This group influenced Page, Plant, The Beatles, The Stones, and countless others. The extremely talented Robin Williamson and Mike Heron could play a wide variety of musical instruments. We saw Mike Heron and Clive Palmer perform at Joe's Pub in 2004, it was an amazing performance. We never thought we would ever see this footage, thank you Burt Sugarman for making this possible!

In the early 1980's Robin would give concerts in his house in Los Angeles, usually for around 30-40 people. I went to a few of these --all solo, mainly playing Celtic harp as his vocal accompaniment. What a brilliant musician, poet, song-writer, ranconteur, performer. I was always go glad to see/hear him in such an intimate setting.

The Crusaders were tight. Chuck Rainey wasn't in the Crusaders for long, but he was during this era. He later played bass on every track on Steely Dan's Aja. Keyboard player Joe Sample also played on Aja as well as the follow up album Gaucho.

I also have to thank you for putting these back out like this... It takes me back to moments in time where it seemed that the answers of life were within our grasp. We had solved the civil rights and everything was getting more and more equal and fair every day... because we were working on it. It wasnt even close to perfect or finished... but it seemed we were trying to come out of that dark cloud of hatred and war and assassination... We need to get back to fixing the problems we have and not just pining a pretty picture.

I've been watching every Saturday afternoon since you began posting a new show every Friday night, This one makes me feel really happy. My dad was the spitting image of Avery Schreiber (to the point that people would stop us all the time to ask for his autograph - which wasn't so crazy, since we lived in NYC back then). Every time I see any old videos of Avery, all I see is my dad...who also had pretty much the same voice and DEFINITELY the same sense of humor.

@rockinremnants510 11 ай бұрын
Allen Clarke left the Hollies in 1973 and was replaced by a Swedish fella named Mikael Rickfors (he's playing guitar on the far right), who sang lead vocals on "Magic Woman Touch". Rickfors couldn't speak English well and if you listen closely to the song, you can tell he is singing phonetically. By 1974, Clarke was back for the LP simply entitled "Hollies" who's big hit was "The Air That I Breathe".

Allan had left the band in ‘71; Long Cool Woman was on a’71 album but not released as a single until ‘72. Allan would rejoin the band in ‘73, but had not yet done so when this was taped. I guess the band thought Terry’s voice was the best suited for this song at the time.
