That’s because without realizing it, they signed a record contract with the mob. The mob kept it all. A couple of them committed suicide. Or were helped along. 😢
I worked for his brother John ...in his Music Store... I met Peter a few times... he was a really nice guy... his death effected the family so badly they never recovered from it! I even played a few of his guitars... including his Les Paul Black Beauty and a Gibson SG given to him from George Harrison...as well as a Gibson EB3 bass ...
I never met any of the guy's . Like their family's i have never recovered from their deaths either. R.I.P. Pete and Tom .I am sorry for what that scumbag did to you guy's, if you could read my mind then you will at least have some satisfaction. The POS that drove you to it will be in the lake of fire for eternity and not one inch of his body will have been unburnt , he will be screaming in agony forever.
At 68 and having rediscovered Bad Finger in early 2023... I now cry through their albums. Their story is absolutely heartbreaking. RIP Pete, Tom and Mike. Love you forever. 😭❤🙏
Yes, terribly sad. Ripped off by their manager. Would have become a Supergroup. Superbly talented, great shame about passing of two main singers/songwriters. XX Rip Pete and Tom. Always be remembered.
It's crazy, if you search this song you tend to mostly find live shows... but the thing about badfinger is that they're actually better live?! Listen to Tom Evans - he may even sound better here than the recording?!
They're better sounding live because the song was made to sound like a, "Super Killer Tune". This song Badfinger "Knocked it out of the Ballpark". It proves that they were a great band.
Absolutely this band should be in the rock and roll hall of fame, it’s a shame how cruel the music industry is. Another story of a great band getting ripped off by greedy heartless scumbags management.
I WAS THE FIRST LOVE OF TOMMY EVAN'S. MY NAME IS HIS HE ASKED ME TO CHANE MY NAME TO HIS. HE SAID HEME AND MUSIC WHERE THE BEST THINGS IN HIS LIFE .HE WAS CRAZY BUT THATS WHAT I LOVED ABOUT HIM WE WHERE TO YOUNG TO GET ENGAGED BUT WE DID .I WONDER HOW MY LIFE EOULD HAVE GONE BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE THERES A LOT MORE TO BE TOLD ABOUT ME AND TOMMY WE BOTH LOVED THE SAME THINGS MUSIC AND EACH OTHER I HAVE A SON WHO A LOT LIKE TOMMY MAKES ME LAUGH ALL THE TIME SAYS IF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN STILL TOGEATHER HED NEVER HAVE DONE THIS AWFUL THING. AND HE SAID I THINK THIS SONG IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOU WAS FOR ME. WHAT A LOVELY THING TO SAY TO A BROKEN HEARTED WOMAN. SEE YOU IN HEAVEN ONE DAY. DIANNE ELIZABETH EVANS LOVE MISS YOU ALWAYS MISS YOUR CRAZY WAYS .WE HAD IT ALL.XXXXXXXXFIRST LOVES FOREVERMORE.
This band was so incredible...the songwriting, the musical talent and the chemistry. I saw them live around this time and they TOTALLY blew the auditorium away! Me included of course (lol), I knew they were amazing...but when I saw them live, let's just say it was stunning.
Hell yes they did the worst example of greed in the music industry I’ve ever seen destroyed them finically and took there life’s absolutely destroyed them
Back in the day the "standard contract" offered by major labels was a setup to get screwed. Don't know what it's like today (doubt it's much different), but _Musician_ magazine had a good series on the topic in '87-'88 or thereabouts. The business is a sewer and pretty much always has been.
Every time I watch a Badfinger video, I remember them as one of the BEST bands to come out of the 60’s and early 70’s, with one of the SADDEST stories. Yes, I agree, they SHOULD be in The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame...DEFINITELY! They were REALLY talented!
Great performance and no doubt they brought this performance to life. If they were underrated it was due to poor management and cut throat practices that record companies follow because they're not musical Visionaries.
Ronald Reagan : Actually, the guitar Pete Ham received from George Harrison was a Gibson SG Standard, the very one used on Paperback Writer: ruclips.net/video/yYvkICbTZIQ/видео.html The SG Special you're referring to is played by Joey Molland, the guy on the left.
When the Beatles broke up, I thought " at least we still have Badfinger". Sad end to a great band. RIP Pete, Tom and Mike. Your music will live on forever.
Probably because they weren't around long enough and don't quite have the body of music and others they did put out some really good songs but just not enough of them to be in the rock and roll Hall of fame
@@stepheneroh6712 Agree with you mate. There should be more than one metric to determine eligibility. If minimum years were necessary for election to the baseball HOF, Sandy Koufax wouldn't be in it cause he didn't play long enough. Yeah, I know it's a mixed metaphor but WTF.
@Mooch 514 Seriously, let's put NWA in there instead of groups like this. . .(not that there's anything with NWA, but completely different brand of music)
Love how the drummer speeds it up to super speed after Pete already set the pace with the guitar riff....lol. Oh well ...still friggin' great tune and RAW live performance... I love raw performances ... pure and awesome !!! Thanks for posting !!!!
@nickmues437 I'm a drummer of 42 years. I'm the time keeper. The rest of the band are only responsible for playing with my time, not changing time. That's why we practice with a metronome. The vocals rushed because the drummer rushed first. I'm a studio drummer.
@@stevesteve1198 The Beatles produced some of their songs and put them on their new record label Apple Records.Paul wrote & produced their hit "Come And Get It"
What a great song. Perfect from the start till the end. What a tragic loss Pete and Tom were at such a young age. All because of a greedy manager. Thank god manager is dead now and can’t do any more harm. I’m sure he will get his justice down in hell where he belongs. RIP Pete and Tom. ❤
@@judis6224it wasn’t America it was a guy, Stan Polley. Springsteen, Petty, Queen to name just three artists were treated badly when they broke through getting paid a pittance or tied into rotten contracts but they managed to get out and went on to have long and successful careers. Many other bands or solo artists have been ripped off in the past. Sadly, Badfinger had two fatalities which should have never happened. They were two great parts of a tremendous group that deserved much better. We can still enjoy what Pete and Tom and the band left us, their music. It’s a shame they didn’t get to see how many fans loved them all those years later.
Remembering Mike Gibbins born on March 12, 1949. He was a Welsh musician, most notable for being the drummer of the 1960's and 1970's British rock band Badfinger. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Gibbins
Great band, great song, and fabulous vocalist !!! To bad Pete Ham took his own life, as the guy could do it all, writer, composer, and fabulous vocalist, plus play numerous instruments. Giant talent he was, and this band had a lot more in them to give the world.
Esta gente tenían ese algo q otros y muy de muchos nunca lo llegarían a tener. Se nota y de lejos. Creo sinceramente q tendrían q estar mucho más valorados.
One of the few good real bands to come from the seventies! ...... definitely should be in the Rock and Roll HOF!!!!! .... We owe this to Pete Hamm! .... real recognition!
I find it especially irksome that that slime was able to go on and keep raking in the bucks in the music industry, rather than being pilloried like the despicable slug eating, stank-mouth cheat he is. If the name Stan Polley is googled, something like a roach-infested, fetid, puss covered carbuncle should appear. What a nasty crook.
Don't forget Pete Ham also played more then guitar and was great at every thing he played. I was around 10 when this came out.I was blessed to have been born in 62 because all of 60s and 70s and even early 80s was the sounds of my youth.
Same here (almost, 1963). Whenever I hear these songs I'm instantly back in our living room on a cold, dark winter morning, getting ready for school and listening to radio 1. I can almost taste the Ready Brek 🤗

Yes a very sad story for such talented singers and songwriters. All they wanted was to write good music, get paid for it and enjoy life. They did write great music. We all miss them.Where are the groups like this today?
Hell Yes great tune some of the best hooks ever recorded in Rock & Roll doesn't matter if you play a Stratocaster or a Les Paul or some old Gretch you now what I'm talking about ! Long Live Rock and Roll !
These guys make me think of Burton Cummings and The Guess Who. Unlike the Rolling Stones, who just prance around on the stage and mouth the words, these guys actually SING the song and they treat their audience with respect.
They got paid next to nothing n that's Terrible!
That’s because without realizing it, they signed a record contract with the mob. The mob kept it all. A couple of them committed suicide. Or were helped along. 😢
Terrible story
@@dougvenne2993 I believe the part about the contract.. the other part is Iffy
Still one of my favourite bands. Tragic ending, gone way too soon but what a legacy. Totally under rated.
Yup they kick a**.

I agree. Tragedy that should have never happened

Yes, I prefer to find live. They were so great. You can feel it so much better live.
You've got that right my friend. Outstanding live sound .

Badfinger should be in the Rock Hall of Fame!
Yes!
True
They don't require validation via such a circle-jerk "institution"...
Yes!!
Unfortunately, the deaths and drugs made their time too short to have the impact they were beginning to have.
Absolutely this band should be in the rock and roll hall of fame, it’s a shame how cruel the music industry is. Another story of a great band getting ripped off by greedy heartless scumbags management.
Never get tired of listening to Badfinger music. Tom's bass lines especially nice on this one. RIP Pete, Tommy, and Mike.
Jim . Hargett agreed
What a voice. What a band. What style.
2023 and still listen to them. My favorite then and now. Tom’s bass is fantastic.
I can't help but cry through their music. At 68, the sadness of their story breaks my heart.
Beginning January 2024. Love their music
@@stevencopley5487 Absolutely heartbreaking what happened to Pete and Tom. They could have won this lawsuit if they would have just stuck it out.
Corruption destroyed all of our classic rock music.@@stevencopley5487
you have also to have the money to pay the lawyers; they clearly didn't, having been stitched up . . .@@Real_g.s.
Perhaps one of the most unappreciated bands from the sixties an all time favorite of mine
from seventies.
Amazing comment!
Brian Duncan - They were appreciated in the US back in the day, because radio played them a lot. Maybe they weren't recognized in Europe though.
I would agree. In retrospect they were a very good four piece band and Ham was a very good composer.
Great singer, great song, great band (that got fucked over. And over. )
Man, Pete could really sing. What a great band.
what a musical masterpiece by a true gifted british band,miss you fellas
Walsh band,after Scotland becomes independent then its wales turn.
@judis6224 😂😂dream on jock. Never going to happen, your masters said no and now you're stuck with a p@k! In charge 😂😂

You young musicians beware of unfair greedy management. Badfinger got screwed.
Exactly
Hell yes they did the worst example of greed in the music industry I’ve ever seen destroyed them finically and took there life’s absolutely destroyed them
Michael Martin. Grand Funk and Creedence got screwed in a similar way.
Gary Light
Hopefully the perpetrator is residing in the hottest part of hell fires!

Pete Hams voice is brilliant.
Wow, listen to that bass! What I great mix to listen to for anyone wanting to learn!! Tom is such an underrated bass player!
Rubikscuber1 Underrated! Like salt, clouds, or whatever is under discussion today. Underrated!
@@artysanmobile yep it's the most overused and misused words on youtube
@@artysanmobile Great Band. Drummer rushing a bit, but fab writing!!
@@artysanmobile Bah humbug
And one of the most underrated!!
The tragedy of this band should be made into a movie.
Agree, would make a very poignant movie.
Then do it. Why do people say things like this without ever once considering that they could be the impetus?
Could be because I am not a fucking film maker. I think we should go to Mars, that doesn't make me an Astronaut.
There story should be made into more books and definitely a movie.
@Jacky J Jones Don't forget what happened to Kramer and his "treatment"; hollywood can be a strange place.
This song is 50 year old already. How time flies. My favorite band.
The older you get the quicker it goes. I was a kid when this song came out - now I'm 60 🤯
Badfinger IS in MY Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame!!! and that's the ONLY Rock Hall that matters to me!!! :)
Great performance and no doubt they brought this performance to life. If they were underrated it was due to poor management and cut throat practices that record companies follow because they're not musical Visionaries.
They were such great musicians, so good to hear the actual live audio for the video.
They also wrote 'Without You' Nilsson just covered it.
And sadly 99%... well, at least a good 95% of people who know the song, don't know about it.
Nilsson didn't "just" cover it. His cover brought it to the forefront. A great song done great justice by Nilsson.
Without you was two songs put together by Pete Ham.
Without You is one of the greatest songs ever!
These dudes could write songs
Tears in my eyes In what could have been. These songs are timeless and even though their careers were short they belong in the R&R Hall of Fame!
Such a beautiful power pop ballad. Badfinger were a brilliant ensemble and this song is at the top of their catalog
Ballad?
That....and Baby Blue.......
Pete Hamm was great. So sad he never reached his full potential
Hammy
He sure had a great voice. His diction was so clear.
Potental ? longer hair?
@@buckjohnson1119 His completion too
He did reach his full potential. It is shown in the songs that they released.
So many performances in the 60's were lip synced on TV. It's great to hear an actual live one.
seventies
This wasn't the 60s.
I love this video, fan since started, phenomenal piece of music
So many people thinking this band is from the sixties.
A great performance at that
George Harrison gave Pete ham that sg special guitar

My first official rock concert was Badfinger. Some goofy band called Kiss was the opener.

Why aren't Badfinger in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?
Brendon Foley too short a tenure. But there’s never been a better band.
Period.
Probably because they weren't around long enough and don't quite have the body of music and others they did put out some really good songs but just not enough of them to be in the rock and roll Hall of fame
Wait! There's a minimum number of songs or albums to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? That's daft!

Hell Yes great tune some of the best hooks ever recorded in Rock & Roll doesn't matter if you play a Stratocaster or a Les Paul or some old Gretch you now what I'm talking about ! Long Live Rock and Roll !
Wow!These guys were just sweating charisma.What an absolutely underrated band. They were great .THE END!!!
great classic Badfinger,one of my favorite bands ever and one of rock music saddest stories
peter ham,,,what a talent,,,say no,more
Surely one of the best ever songs. Superb band...
These guys make me think of Burton Cummings and The Guess Who. Unlike the Rolling Stones, who just prance around on the stage and mouth the words, these guys actually SING the song and they treat their audience with respect.
Even only being around fur short time, they go down in history as a top all time band in my opinion. Just so good.
Some people are greedy beyond belief. Some managers are not satisfied with their cut, they have to steal from the bands they manage. A total disgrace.
