I knew Rod - Ian Paice - Eric (Jack) Keene - Chris Banham - Roger Lewis when they were The M.I.5 previously Jimmy Bond & The M.I.5 - they then changed to The Maze with Catari Catari / Easy Street, then the band split into 2 with Rod & Ian going the Deep Purple route and Eric, Chris going into Alice Soundtech mixing desks with ex Engineer Ted Fletcher with the then late Joe Meek (producer / Eq - Compressor fame) and the rest you know. Eric & Ian used to engineer for us along, later with Ted Fletcher, ah such days down at Virgin Sound in 1a Bexley Street, corner of Alma Road, Windsor... would love to catch up with Roger Lewis guitarist who went back to Germany. Eric is in the West Country and I'm proud to have introduced him to his now wife via TouchwoodMusic.com website... and Rod, he went off with one of my girlfriends from Datchet as I remember... Rod get in touch, many stories to share - anyone with contact please pass on. Michael /oak77.com /touchwoodmusic.com

Rod Evans super good luck

I love his voice.....wherever he's now, i will keep to love it and listen it!!! Thank you for this video!!! :-)

That sixties sound and style. Rod was a great singer. Good luck to him.

Superb!!

Jimi Jameson of Survivor did the same dam thing, went out on the road with session players billing himself as Survivor. He was sued but didn't suffer the nearly ungodly consequences that Rod Evans did. Shame on DP management

Leider ein Schlager, aber mit Pfiff und mit Rod Evans - deshalb drücke ich mal ein Auge zu.

The opening line is clipped off, DOH !!!!

Is he still living in Cedar Ridge CA? He was awhile back.

Not really a bad song but yes the wall of sound production on this was bombastic . Rod did have a poppier voice that would have suited the Mach II version of Deep Purple but on that bogus Deep Purple , Rod did do a better version of Smoke The Water than Mach III did . Of course Rod’s vocal work with Captain Beyond proved that he was not limited . He can growl a little but his voice is traditional bel canto not gravely bluesy or screechy , strectchy octaves like Ian Gillians

Sometimes that wall of Sound or over instrumentation from that era ,that I think was pioneered by Phil Spector , worked and sometimes it didn't. On this song it didn't . Rod had a fine voice on his own but like every good Singer there were songs he did that didn't suit him . Rock was still young in 60s and sometimes Producers and Engineers didn't always do it well. In this song I can hardly hear Rod's fine voice. Horns are bombastic and Rod's voice sounds like it is miked wrong. Song although 60's Popish isn't bad.

What's the B side of this 45?

cant 👂 hear his vocals

wheres the vocals?
