@@ianfindly3257 For me, Boot Sauce from Montreal could have been the major influence for RHCP, since their brand of funk was so similar to the Peppers, and came a few years earlier.
The complex bass rhythms on this are to be admired. Saw these guys a few times live and it was amazing. The direct to disc album sits at #1 on my must be heard at least once charts.
I strongly recognize this song, but it wasn't on the Avoid Freud album I had, so I must still remember it from when I used to go see them in Toronto. I used to sneak into Larry's Hideaway and other clubs. I wasn't quite drinking age, but most clubs let me in. Good times and good music!
You need the ultra rare direct to disc recording for this and the other songs they did on the show that night, well before their hit records of the eighties
@2 Spirit Metis I had a friend back then who's enormous pair would certainly fit your description, but I don't think she was a regular at Larry's though. She was quite into the punk and new wave at the same time as me, and we went to a few concerts together. Not clubs though, from what I remember. Might still have been her that you saw at Larry's, though. I tried looking her up in recent years, but haven't been able to find her online. I lost touch with her in the 80s at some point. She got pregnant and married and moved away. When I hung around with her in the late 70s, wow, did she ever get a lot of attention! Those enormous things really got a lot of people to come over and chat with us. We also used to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show for quite a while every weekend at the Roxy, and every single time, a zillion lovers of big breasts would come over to offer tokes, phone numbers, invitations to parties, etc. It was quite fun. :)
@2 Spirit Metis The Yonge and Wellesley one must have been another club. Mostly I went to The Edge those days, which was near the corner of Church and some other street that was about 2 blocks south of Carleton. Sometimes I went to other places, like Larry's Hideaway or The Horseshoe. I tried getting into the El Mocambo once to see some band, but they wanted ID. The Edge always let me in without asking for ID, and most of time, I went there to see Drastic Measures, who were my favourite band at the time (Tony Malone, songwriter and lead singer, was terribly under-rated and should have become famous by all rights). I think one of his band members was Howard Pope, or maybe it was just that he appeared on their album cover or something. Anyways, I remember people saying that he was the brother of Carole Pope. I know I saw Rough Trade at quite a few different places, but the only ones I can remember the venues of were one time at Larry's and another at some fancy place that usually held operas and classical orchestra stuff, but where Tim Curry and Rough Trade both performed as well. I didn't go to clubs very often, but Drastic Measures and Rough Trade were both bands that I saw multiple times. Other bands were usually one-off events. If your big breasted friend and my big breasted friend were the same person, then I can tell you that they were indeed real, not implants. She sometimes talked about getting a reduction, though. They caused her shoulder or back pain, if I'm remembering it right. Did the person you knew have really frizzy medium brown hair? We probably were at some of the same places at the same time. I remember knowing about an indie movie place on Ronsesvale (ok, I can't spell that right, I better just call it Roncy like you did!). I sometimes went to that other indie one on Bloor, but I think I might have gone to the Roncy one once, too. Do you remember what it was we used to call those movie places? There was some slang name for them other than indie. It's on the tip of my tongue. I'll probably remember right after I press "reply".
@2 Spirit Metis I know that place you mean that was across from Cdn Tire. It was some sort of Masonic Temple, and they rented it out to people who wanted to hold events, like dances or concerts. I went a couple times to events that were held there (I can't remember what events, but I do remember being inside it), and I remember that it had fancy old architecture, something I didn't appreciate in those days. I'm pretty sure that I read years ago that it was going to be either demolished or restored. Hopefully restored, since old buildings like that are not a dime a dozen. Your memory is better than mine about Brunswick House. I know the name, and I even think I may have been there once or twice, but for the life of me, I don't know what street it was on, and I wouldn't have even been able to narrow it down to not being on Parliament. :)
Killer performance. Anybody know what was the tough stuff topic of discussion before this? You could never get something this cool on American telly in any decade; Too dirty!

Canadian industry underrated her. She was fantastic, about time she got decent recognition! She's spot on, knows the score!
Absolute legends. I was lucky enough to see them many times in Toronto and Hamilton back in the day. Still love them!
Funk and Punk. Carole and Kevan, as most visionaries, never get their due respect.
Yeah I know! .. . they pretty much credit the frickin Red Hot Chilli Peppers with doing funk/punk first! . . and THIS is WAY before THEY even existed!

OMG, I miss late night Canadian talk shows!!
OMG these are great. Also I love 1970's announcers, they were the shit - so proper!
I don't know. I think Peter was a sleeper subversion. He loved Rough Trade.

Came across that album in Seattle and very quickly snapped it up (used of course). A treasure.
God Love you, Carole Pope!! Life changer.
Killer bass and drum track.
Fabulous band...having a great night. And what a great recording! Well done CBC techs!
whoa!!! crazy lyrics even for now.
bass heaven

@2 Spirit Metis How did you get into Larry's from Yonge St? Wasn't it near Carleton and Jarvis at the corner of Allen Gardens?

This is great. Cheers to CBC!
Great musicians.
2:54-3:15, my favorite part. The Guitarist is tearing it up!👍🏾
RIP Joanne Brooks.
Ad-ults! So Canadian!
Shit, Carole Pope can sing...
Extraordinaire
Killer performance. Anybody know what was the tough stuff topic of discussion before this? You could never get something this cool on American telly in any decade; Too dirty!
Recession, unemployment, rampant in Canada in 1976.
@@theunrealtimemm - Thanks √
Hottest song ever from Canada?
No way. "All Touch" and "Crimes of Passion", also by Rough Trade, were far hotter and kinkier.
But are their followers adults...?
this is like I,m the one groove from sly stone
Chilli peppers guitar later sound?
I wonder if Kevan Staples influenced Dave Mathews?
Carole remains the feel-male Bowie.
I'm still part of the cult Peter Gzowski identified. Just wish the cult did more stuff together.
How many times can this guy say ad-ult? Lol
And mylie stylus thinks she broke ground...LOL
rough looking dudes
Musical talent and political messages, no wonder they stayed "cult", shame.
Say adult one more time, we're not sure who this is geared toward.
They had five good songs, the rest. meh..
