I saw PEMT three or four times at the Blues Loft in High Wycombe and was blown away by their performance - hypnotic. To see them again after all this time is a dream come true so thanks for making this available. I haven't stopped smiling since it started.
I've just discovered this band through one of my hippy friends who used to go and see them play live. Fantastic 😊 I could see them performing along side the likes of The Incredible String Band.
I saw them every time they played Mother's in Birmingham--totally adored them--I still listen to Soundtrack all the time--Vivienne McAuliffe's voice suited the dramatic music perfectly--it was never going to work long term but it was magic while it lasted!
Thank you greatly. This is as close as I'll ever get to seeing this band live. I had their first two albums more or less as they came out. What an era for music, for so much more than mere music!
Thank you for publishing this. I remember recording this but have never, ever seen it. I thought it was gone for good. My life flashed before my eyes watching this!
This is one of the best films from the year I was born. I got into this music when I was in my late teens so probably about the age you were when you played in the band!
I was too young to see them back in the day and only got into them in the mid 80s. Marvellous to see this. John Peel's wife (The Pig) supposedly hated them which is inexcusable. No-one will convince me that that this isn't a million times better than crud such as Jason Zed Esq.
Loved them too - so much so that they were one of the first bands i booked to play Southend College of Arts&Science when i was appointed social sec. of the Student Union (1971 if memory serves). Awful pity about the adfio treatment on this clip though, they sounded SOooo much better than this...
Yeah, but Peel was a first class hypocrite. Claimed to like Rock then disowned it. Praised Bolan then refused to acknowledge him, liked ELP then badmouthed them. The guy was a complete tosspot and as phoney as they come.
Is that why he signed them to Dandelion Records? Doh! I think things did go a bit sour though, but he promoted them wildly at first and obviously loved their music.
@@redhotfunkyblues But that was his modus operandi, praising people and then saying he hated them and insulting them to boot. His whole career was based on duplicity, even pretended to be a scouse in the USA when he thought that lie would further his career. He was 100% dodgy.
What was the drummer of Pink Floyd thinking...? I saw an article about them in Record Collector and was waiting to give it a go. And it sounds like dry boogers on my butt zits falling off.
Saw Principal Edwards at Essex University around 1970. A great experience! Thanks for putting this up...!!!
So did I!
I love this band. One of my very favorite bands in the world!
Saw them at QMC London in early 1970s, together with Renaissance. A night to remember!1

Did you ever hear how Viv died?

+pykkervots I'd left the band before 1972 so wasn't there myself!. I somehow was logged in as my son when I replied!
First band ever saw
Supporting pink floyd
Bristol Victoria rooms
This is one of the best films from the year I was born. I got into this music when I was in my late teens so probably about the age you were when you played in the band!
I saw them back in late 1970 when they were heading the bill with 2 unknown bands called Hawkwind and Supertramp.
This was marvellous. Thanks.
Saw PEMT just once , in Sunderland , over 50 years ago. Weird shit, but absolutely mesmerising. Oh, to be a teenager again!
Only then, not now!
@@rwjf5988 Definitely
Thanks for sharing, jim
Fantastic - brought back so many memories of seeing PEMT so many times in Kettering. Would love to know what they are all doing now.
+jim fox Me too and I also spent time with them at their house just outside kettering
Absolutely fantastic.

Who is Jason Zed please?
@@morganfisherart He's married to some woman called Beyoncee.
The Pig's attitude was evidently coloured by how she felt some of the ensemble abused the hospitality offered by John and herself at their home.
Young slim beautiful hippy freaks good karma .
Amazing, man!
really enjoyed it
Definitely a sign of the times, not the best that Kettering has produced though.
Il est magnifique , faisons à nouveau le Time , joe

Great
Peel couldn't stand these fey herberts. As the great man said "rightly so"
Yeah, but Peel was a first class hypocrite. Claimed to like Rock then disowned it. Praised Bolan then refused to acknowledge him, liked ELP then badmouthed them. The guy was a complete tosspot and as phoney as they come.

Wow
Would love to hear the rest of this session if any body has it?
