Ah, Steve Hillage. Fond memories of seeing the band in the late 70s at the Rainbow Theatre, London and at Glastonbury 1979. This was always one of my favourite tunes. Skin up.
I took a school friend who hadn't heard any Hillage to the Rainbow gig in '79. He's been a massive fan ever since, and still says that Hillage is his favourite musician.
I do love looking at comments on videos like this. It's one of the only places on RUclips (and maybe the whole of the Internet!) where people are nice to each other. Then again maybe that's cause we're all long hairs haha!
I might add I'm nearly 60 and no longer have long hair - virtually a short cropped head. Bur it doesn't stop me be one of the biggest Gong, Hillage hawkwind fans around! BTW this is as one of the best version.s of master builder ever!!!😂 rip Andy Anderson
This is INSANE !! The album version is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time and this, impossible I thought it to be completely blows it out of the water.
saw this played live in 1981/82 on final Hillage Band Tour at Mayfair Suite in Birmingham, 1500 in a small hall with low roof and excellent acoustics it was outstanding, truly awesome and of its type only Kashmir (the original) comes close to it, Hillage was/is and will always be one of the great under-estimated musicians of all time
Yeah, and you're right, mate. Only thing missing is a nod to Daevid Allen, his spiritual/musical step-brother, who started him on this path and both stood by him and played with him every step of the way.
Saw Steve in 79 with is line up...it was incredible. The band was super tight and at the same time fluid and free - form. Just exceptional, ground breaking rock'n'roll.
Steve Hillage is apparently doing lots of gigs in England. I imagine that there are still lots of Gong/Steve Hillage fans out there (like me) in North America? I suggest we fans here in North America start up a mantra: "Oh happy day! Steve Hillage is coming to North America!" (OM) "Oh happy day! Steve Hillage is coming to North America!" (OM) (You get the idea. 100x in the morning and 100x in the evening).
Wow! Epic. Love the studio version, but can't even imagine seeing this amazing live performance. What a band he had at this time! The musicianship is sublime. Huge fan of Green. It reminds me of brighter times when altered states (by whatever positive means) were shared far more readily & safely just up the street and around any corner. I lived in Hastings & we picked our mushrooms legally & enjoyed truly uplifiting times together. Steve Hillage was always a big part of the good vibes shared ♥
Wonderful, I used to listen to Steve Hillage albums all weekend every weekend... Saw him live at Music Machine with me mates, just before Music Machine became Camden Palace, what an incredible gig. We were on another plane by 'eck! I believe Jesus was there too, bless his soul.
Anyone else here, see him at ‘The Rainbow’ 1979? “Welcome to the Rainbow”🤩 Was at both shows, 2nd and 3rd March (and twice in 1977 . Not obsessed or anything😂)
Bellissimo. E mentre lo guardo ipnotizzato, ripeto a me stesso mille volte: "devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire…" Chissà se funziona.
Best version of this masterpiece ever! Why can't I purchase this entire Radio 1 experience? (or can I ?) Is it out there somewhere? 40+ years later and it still kills... Stuff like this is what enables me to get out of the bed in the morning.
robert d Release was called ‘BBC Radio 1 Live : Steve Hillage Live’. Was taken from two Radio 1 concerts, recorded 1976 and 1979. Vinyl, CD and tape released first in 1992! I have both vinyl and CD. ‘The Glorious Om Riff’ (as playing here) was track 11. Good luck finding a copy if you want vinyl!
dave h Sorry but no it doesn't. Techno (technological music) started in 1920. Unless of course you mean when the name techno was coined but I don't count that :p
+sturat69 since Hillage is credited as writer of said original song and with much of the best of Gong of that era clearly you are not in possession of the facts of the matter.
All versions of this sound pedestrian compared to the version on GREEN. Steve always sounds good but his drum and bass players are too stiff. Also most versions I've heard are too damn fast.. They are rushing through it. The GREEN version is the one...for ME.
''🎸🎸🎹🎹📻📻🔊🔊🎚🎚🎧🎧! ''....That's easy for you to say. Try writing the prose for it. An 'Also spracht' lookalike ? Five across and one down. 6 letters.(No answer, due to use of non existent geometric language; imaginary bus replacement service provided.) This therefore is the live musical transport version? Causal logic: 1+1 = habitual implication.

Steve 'GONG' Hillage beautiful 👍👍👍
Hillage = Killage !!!
🎸🔥🔥🔥
and no blood Spillage
Andy Anderson - wonderful human, fabulous drummer, very sad loss to the world

Haha so true...Nothing but love on the Prog/RIO videos I see
Sadly the only place I have long hair now is down my back...............DOH!
More love coming at ya, brother. ✌️

If you want to see the Om Riff/Master Builder transcending time and space, drag your old arse out to see Gong. They absolutely nail it. 👌
the song the Ozrics took into the next era of free festivals and turned on the next generation of freaks , happy daze !
I absolutely love the Ozrics and they carry Gong's torch far and wide into vast alien territory that I treasure more every day.
What a brilliant version. Goosebumps.
This is INSANE !! The album version is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time and this, impossible I thought it to be completely blows it out of the water.
the best Acid trip i have ever had
Fantastic upload! Thank you ♥
Proto-Ozric Tentacles.
Absolutely fantastic.
Luv and Peace.

For sure. It would have been interesting to see if, had his singing been "better", whether or not he would have gotten more mainstream attention.
sp2a uk One of THE most underated bands of their time I believe...
Yeah, and you're right, mate. Only thing missing is a nod to Daevid Allen, his spiritual/musical step-brother, who started him on this path and both stood by him and played with him every step of the way.
One of the best musically interesting and vibrant songs ever!!
Young Hillage had such a lovely fluid guitar style, perfect for this sort of music. Good stuff.
Saw Steve in 79 with is line up...it was incredible. The band was super tight and at the same time fluid and free - form. Just exceptional, ground breaking rock'n'roll.
This doing it now, gigs to come this year!

Gosh that really is a stonking version. I'm pretty sure I saw this lineup play at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979.
I have a pretty substantial Hillage collection, and I reckon this is THE version. Awesome.
Very envious,, sold all my beautiful discs 😖 under protest, years ago
Remember Deeply Vale Free peoples Festival, 1977 or 78 cant remember, the last time I saw Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy.
John McKenzie − bass
Christian Boule − guitar
Steve Hillage − guitar, vocals
Andy Anderson − drums
Miquette Giraudy − synthesizer
It's you the drummer?
Congratulations 👍👏
Jean-Luc Chapelon Yes it is, Jean Luc, thanks for asking. 👍🏿👌🏿🤓
nice
ace
pace in ap
Tellement bon de réentendre Steve Hillage... unique et fabuleux!
Fav RIFF ever!
Auntie Beeb sure knows how to make a live recording.
One hundred thousand miles an hour of intergalactic spaciness.
Saw him at roundhouse with my now wife, great memories !!!? X
top man for many years of my life
This is awesome
I was working in the Record Revolution #1 store in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Sometime in late
tis truly glorius

wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!
Far out MAN.. 💥
Outstanding Live performance.
simplemente....el más grande
*Deavid Allen' s & Steve Hillage's GONG* genius+perfecthion by sound
Nice One
Top tune
the best version!!!
This is an evolution of "Master Builder" from _You_, isn't it?
s is hard to beat as a guitar riff with graphics way up there with the top sounds bit trebly in places would love to have seen live
Holy hell what's this?? The crystal meth mix?? They were really motoring through the riff that night weren't they?? Brilliant.
So, did trance music start from this type of sound, we know David Allen went in to that sound
IL MEGLIO...DEL MEGLIO
Anyone else here, see him at ‘The Rainbow’ 1979?
“Welcome to the Rainbow”🤩
Was at both shows, 2nd and 3rd March (and twice in 1977 . Not obsessed or anything😂)
Good music,good trip
Oooohyeah 🍓
Bellissimo. E mentre lo guardo ipnotizzato, ripeto a me stesso mille volte: "devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire…" Chissà se funziona.
Master Builder
Oh Steve Hillfish !
The birth of Techno me thinks.
Dance music has a lot to thank Steve for I think. His stuff with system 7 is mind blowing.

Search spotify for Steve Hillage - Glastonbury Experience. Same tour.
pre dates techno by about 20 odd years

boa gostei
major spillage
SUBLIME
Katy Perry does an amazing cover of this tune. No wait.. maybe I'm mistaken.
It was Adele. Easy mistake.
@@markharwood7573 is there really one?
@@dheneb587 :-)
Shit! At 5: 07 it gets REALLY INTENSELY HEAVY!!!!
mai mao zai zao tai tao now...
This kinda reminds me of the band Ozric Tentacles.
Mark P Ozrics cite Hillage as an influence. He has appeared on some of their songs.
+sturat69 Also, Garbage left Gong because he was shagging Daevid's wife.
The more you kno.
+sturat69 since Hillage is credited as writer of said original song and with much of the best of Gong of that era clearly you are not in possession of the facts of the matter.
N'importe quoi !
Deavid Allen Geniu§
Who were the second and third guitarists? Seriously, you say this live Andy.....who were they?
Om nava shiva ya?
chanty chanty
Shivaya nama om?
Can I have my purple microdot back now? I will be a good girl,mommy.
Am I mistaken or is there also a Gong song in which he employs a similar Riff ?
Master Builder from the album You.
christo792 thank you.

What is the temple made of?
