Hello Denny, Bedlam opened for Black Sabbath on their Sabbath Bloody Sabbath tour after their Felix Pappalardi produced record. I was so excited to see your late, great brother Dave performing here I neglected to mention you, his brother Denny Ball. Dave had a short but strong stint with Procol Harum and filling Robin Trower's shoes was no easy task, much respect. Outstanding record and performance, is it true you are producing a record of a live Bedlam show from NY 1974? Great to see you still around and rocking!
I am curious what you thought of your performance, if you read the live chat during the show you will notice most people were pleasantly surprised how good you guys were.
@@brötzmannsax I remixed the original Bedlam album and this is now part of a boxset called Bedlam Anthology. There are live sessions within the boxset.
The Way Back Machine is back from the cleaners, we made a mess in it last week. The Spinners, incredible! A throw back to a time when talent and choreography were what made a band great! Bobby Womack was an earwig back during the day, so infectious his songs lived in your head for hours. I remember Cozy Powell with Rainbow, in 1974 I was more into the local AM station, I discovered FM in 1975, after the KISS concert I attended in March 1975. Bloodstone will be one of those groups that when I hear them, I will go, "I remember that" and it will trigger a memory. Martha Reves, much talent, Peter with Paul and Mary will seem like something is missing. Looks like another great trip to memory lane! Thanks Midnight Special!
I don't know about now, hope Peter's changed for the better, but yeah something was definitely missing about him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Yarrow#Criminal_conviction_and_pardon
Wow can't wait to see Bedlam!! I didn't know that there are any footage of them! Their one and only album released in 1973 is one of the greatest heavy blues/rock albums of 70's for me.
I had a bootleg of them, but in all honesty I don't remember any of the songs or what they sounded like. And Cozy Powell didn't even play with them. I mean...I only know him by name. I collected bootlegs and must have traded them with someone without even hearing them. But I know the name of the band lol.
@@Seventysongs saw Bedlam live in Cincinnati,I had seen Cozy before with the jeff beck group , and his new band were great ,Dave Ball late of Procul Harum was on guitar that night.
Absolutely devastating that The Lockers were cut out. Please release their performance. The amazing Toni Basil with some of the most influential dancers on the hip hop scene!
The Lockers danced to the recording of Billy Preston's "Outa-Space". Because it was the original recording, the licensing cost most have been expensive. It's the sad state of the music industry where they harm themselves by preventing their product from being marketed. As opposed to editing out the segment, I always recommend content providers simply remove the sound and leave the visual intact. And then explain in the description why the sound had to be muted. Similar to if there were blemishes in the original tape. Don't amputate. Provide what you can and allow the viewer to enjoy or skip past. In my case, I would have enjoyed seeing the Lockers even without hearing the accompanying music.
@@shyman99When the cancel culture crowd asked for Bill Cosby to be edited out of a prior episode, someone representing this account claimed that they don't edit the episodes. However, they did edit Monty Python's performance over a clip they didn't have the rights to rebroadcast (a Terry Gilliam animation, I think?). More recently, Curtis Mayfield's more incendiary lyrics in "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go" appear to have been left in the episode, but were edited out of the standalone video.
Peter Yarrow singing yet another masterpiece song by the great Paul Williams "That's Enough For Me". Outstanding performance with a full string section, beautiful. I haven't seen this since May 3, 1974 so it's a special treat to see it again now. I even remembered the full string arrangement of 50 years ago!!!

cozy is a true god on the drums. the stuff he was doing for rainbow is unlike anything. the two albums he did in rainbow w/ ronnie james dio is hard rock at its finest. he was also kicking ass in whitesnake and had david coverdale put aside his own ego and kept powell, bassist neil murray, and guitarist john sykes in the mid-1980s. they would've ruled the world.

Aw, c'mon, you cut The Lockers? If it was a music clearance issue, just remove the music or put some royalty free audio over it. I'd rather see it partial than not at all.
It was the 70s...basically all RnB soul groups wore similar garments, i.e., Temptations, Miracles, Dramatics, Delfonics etc. But at least they looked like gentlemen unlike this mess called 'music' today where performers wear their damn pants hanging off their butts.
Because there is a group in England called The Spinners, the ones in America were called "The Detroit Spinners" so that the two wouldn't be confused with the other.
Bloodstone was INCREDIBLE of course The Spinners with Phil Soul Walker AMAZING. Bobby Womack was GREAT also and The Lockers. Such a great episode.
