I've never seen any footage of Keith Emerson singing live with the Nice so this was a real treat.
Is THAT who it was? He was bloody terrible anyway 👎🏻
Emerson singing = Scorpio = punk (Rotten)😂
RIP Keith. We still miss you. Oh, what a lucky man he was.
First for me as well.
That’s why Greg Lake sang in ELP
72 years old and I've never even heard of the Rome Musical Festival. I'm not as cool as I thought I was. 😕
ROMA is Hip!!
@@giulioluzzardi7632 I have a cousin, 50 something, that has lived there his entire life. He told me there is no city cooler than Rome. So many times I was supposed to go visit, but something always got in my way. Due to my health, my chances are gone.
It’s Rome Musical Festival not as cool as I thought it was, not you.
@@user-xw5ib3kn4o 👍
Nah. You're cool.
After watching/listening to this I have only one conclusion:
Release the whole thing! 🙂
Julie Driscol! What a voice & SO under rated. Apart from being the 60's most beautiful babe!
I wanted This Wheels on Fire .
Sandie Shaw? Hello?
I was an American teenager in Rome in the late 1960's. I saw the Who live, there, and went to discos as often as possible. I also had a R&R band, and one of our tunes was Feel A Whole Lot Better ....by the Byrds. It had double lead vocal and double back-up vocal, with great harmonies. I met Donovan back then. I love Alvin Lee and 10 Years After, .....and I also love Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger's band. Her vocals would drive any song like a locomotive. Thanks for the video.
@@goldtown6747you're saying she was the '60s' most beautiful babe??
@@mrJimCharles I'm not saying that she was the most beautiful babe of the 1960s. We all know that this was Margaret Rutherford. 😁But Sandie Shaw was a prime contender in the field of female singers and actresses (along with Katherine Ross and the late Francoise Hardy). But that is only my humble and subjective opinion. And I like Julie Driscoll singing "Road to Cairo".
This has got to be the weirdest collection of pop snippets I’ve ever seen: The Association’s sterile college pop, Alvin Lee’s perm, Keith Emerson’s attempt at singing, Donovan’s fling with jazz, The Band doing Gershwin and the FOH engineer desperately fighting feedback. That backline looks awesome though, and those Vox UL amps are rare as hen’s teeth.
And, they're all on one 10 minute video!!! Your's for only $9.95!!!!!
That was brutal! And quite possibly the worst job of editing I've ever seen! Wow!
That was ''a Band', but certainly not ''The Band''.
@@burtramone765: You’re right. I was thrown off by the bassist, who sort of resembled Rick Danko, and I guess whoever put up this video made the same mistake. I went and googled the original festival line-up and there wasn’t a ‘The Band’ to be found. Phew, narrow escape for the boys…
@@ArkyMalarkey Some dago band called ''I Giganti'.
Incredible footage! That's not The Band at 8:08, though. That's "I Giganti" doing their version of Summertime.
Thank you - I was like "They look similar, but that ain't Robbie or Garth!?"
I thought they looked Italian!
Something was off yeah...
Definitely NOT Levon on drums, Rick on bass, Richard on piano stage left, or Robbie on guitar.
Certo sono i Giganti cover di Summertime SUPER si vede in primo piano Sergio De Martino

Good thing Emerson found Lake!
😃
Yeah no kidding that vocal is painful to experience 🥴
...and didn't have to sing himself anymore
The rest is history...
He had Lee Jackson.
And Palmer
I would love to see the whole show. This is great.
A time capsule. Besides the great footage of the bands/artists and the music, there's all the vintage instruments, equipment, clothes, and hair styles. A blast from the past.
What an awesome festival.
A treat to see this video. Ty
Yeah. Talk about a wide variety of music!
.....and some nuns.
This was a 4 evening event… March 4-7, 1968. I attended three of four nights and was attending international high school in Rome (my father worked at the U.S. embassy). While the video shows some small clips it missed some major bands ( while including The Band, who were not there as someone has noted). Missing were Buffy Sainte Marie, Traffic, Fairpoint Convention, The Move ( which later became ELO), The Soft Machine and four or five other groups.
FairpoRt Convention...
Yeah as mentioned above, FAMILY!
We need to see that Fairport Convention set!!!
*cough it's on Pirate Bay *cough*
"powerful memories built inside you". Lucky man,,,woman,,,,,, lucky......how bout the Beatles at cobohall?
I hope they turned up Captain Beefheart's vocals at some stage of their performance.
Surprised that FZ didn't make an appearance :)
Captain Beefheart almost looked like the precursor to Devo
Now I know why Keith Emerson wasn’t allowed to sing while performing in ELP…
Yep! With all he accomplished on keyboards, let's not demand him to also sing. The world is a better place if he doesn't :-)
🤭
Thank goodness for Greg Lake
He didn't sing with The Nice either - except for that one song.
1:45 rare footage indeed.
Alvin Lee of Ten Years After hair is in a short-lived transitional phase that is not often seen. It’s still curly from the ill-advised fro , but getting longer, becoming the iconic mullet.
⚡️✨🎸✨⚡️
@daisywrabbit: Cool... Alvin with the tight curl permed hair now going frizzy...! 🤔😉🎸🎶🎶🎶
“the obligat’ry Hendrix perm”
@@brianfergus839yep that was his poorly documented Jimi tribute phase. Never previously noticed the Jimi ‘stache. His mum was a hairdresser. Dunno who did Clapton’s Jimi perm.
And Big Red doesn't have any stickers yet!
Clapton had the afro too a la Cream starting out
The Nice did an album where one side consisted of a Bob Dylan cover, She Belongs To Me. The title is shouted out at the start and then it is all instrumental. It was live from USA I believe and they were introduced as "A most distinguished group from England, The Nice".
When Bob played the Isle of Wight in 1968, it was so popular they added a free concert the evening before it opened. Nice were on there and Emerson had a great time playing two upright pianos facing each other as he played both, rocking them back and forth till they nearly fell.over; terrific fun..
Great footage. Donovan was sublime
The great Harold McNair on flute!
Wow...this is like a pre-woodstock festival.❤❤❤
At 8:13 not The Band, but Italian group I Giganti while performs their version of "Summertime"
Was just about to ask. The Byrds didn't look like that in 68 either?
I remember as a young boy watching a live group in a backyard jam , it was 1971 and everyone was so into the music ,my first concert I guess you’d say but it was noise to me . The Byrds were so in tune to their sound at an early onset . I attribute that to the formation around bluegrass notes in the roots of American style , well voiced and spot on lyrical tones . They were at the epicenter , we so much long for that style of musicianship .
Tantalising glimpses. I only wish the whole thing was available!
It is available. You have to buy it on a DVD.
Best of lists are subjective at best. To each their own. MY no. 1 drummer didn't make THIS list and I can live with it. They're still my GOAT. 😊
Wow. Keith Emerson as lead vocalist...
Glad he didnt keep singing
He sings also Happy Freuds from the nice...good song.
Doing not their normal stuff...
@@Formula-602indeed….. terrible.
Rip
@@Formula-602 To be fair, sounds very punk.
PEACE&LOVE
I never thought I'd see The Byrds play 'Mr. Spaceman' in any visual format. Least of all the Roman Colosseum???? And I thought seeing Barbara Feldman drumming along with The Electric Prunes on The Mike Douglas Show was weird. (!!)

Keep searching … you’ll find another rarity. Gene Clark’s brief return was caught for TV. I think there’s two or three vids of some lineup doing the song.
✌️
Well, they were lip syncing. Archival nonetheless...
Agent 99. Always cool, I'd like to see that.
ミッキーカーチスとサムライ、日本人だけど初めて見た。ありがとう。
Incredible, high definition footage.
🤣
The best sound/performance of the snippets was with Donovan and the great sound from the Jazz-inspired piano piece in the background. Also, gotta love Roger Mcguinn singing with the Byrds (live or not). "Keep on Rockin' in The Free World"
Yes, Keith Emerson did sing on a couple of what I call 'knockabout funny' tracks for the Nice. This is another thing that ELP copied off them in the form of Jeremy Bender, Are you ready Eddy, The Sheriff and Benny the bouncer. These tracks were used in both bands to lighten the mood on an album and they worked in that context. Although Keith didn't sing on the ELP ones they served their purpose for both bands.
Those songs are tributes to the English "music hall" entertainment of older generations. North Americans couldn't relate.
Thanks for putting this up! WIsh it was longer!
Clear and nice footage, starting with ambient Rome shots.
Donovan always touching and not afraid to experiment.
Band playing Summertime isn't The Band, but I Giganti, good Italian band between Beat and Pop/Rock
Wonderful footage, thanks. Brings back memories of festivals in the US around that time.
Thanks for this.. We stared a concept to record every show on this small U.S tour on a cassette player and this was the only one that lasted but I’ve never heard it ever since/ the tape deck broke down anyway..
Donovan at the time of his amazing first live album .
I ploughed through this to see he band who weren’t on it
That little segment of the Byrds made my day.
Amazing to see Doug Dillard performing with them! Such a fruitful and wonderful time for The Byrds…
No Crosby, Mcguinn must have already dumped him from the Band.
@@burtramone765was that Gram Parsons on the right?
@@andrewhudson8966 lt may very well be Gram Parsons , however with the sunglasses on , l thought it might actually be Gene Clark on one of his on/off returns to the Band. Also the song Mr. Spaceman is more to do with the psychedelic period of The Byrds. Gram was more to do with the cosmic country sound they later had. l suspect it is Gram strumming along on this mimed clip , to a song he wasn't originally involved with.
Yea, and I love that song, Hey Mister Spaceman!
Samurai? Those getups! Will have to look into those guys.
WOOOOWWW...Alvin Lee so young...Keith EMerson singing...
merci pour la video on peut lavoir complet vive le rock
I'm 72 what an awesome find this us!
The Association. Segue to TEN YEARS AFTER???!! Then Keith Emerson on vocals?? What the…
better days better music ❤
Just a few seconds of a song. I feel fooled.
Eclectic - to say the least !!
Holy shit. Keith Emerson singing. I had heard of The Nice, but I had no idea.
This is freaking amazing!!!
Nice
still love this music!!
thank for Greg!
Wonder how much footage of this concert festival actually still exists? Quality sure looks good from these snippets. Wonder why more hasn't been commercially released!
Apparently the entirety.
✌️
Didn't you watch it till the end? It tells you how to buy the whole show on DVD. This clip is just meant as a promo advert for the DVD.
I have the albums, and i have two copies of the webb sessions, i can still hear it on magnavox counsole, ya know the big wood furniture piece with a stereo inside, zenith was sneaky like that with a 5 watt tube amp what a warm sound to match the music playing, a tramp shining, the yard went on forever, then later in 71 my boy, but glenn also sang webb too, and he had a voice. The 1960s, as a young boy, was a great place to be. My old Converse sneakers smell like the Mohawk River from exploring fishing swimming. And the yard went 👉 forever.
Never heard of this festival ,great to see !
Quando a Roma veniva gente seria suonare
Fabulous stuff all of it. Chris Newman Southampton 🇬🇧 UK
This classic along with Demon Queen, Blessed Wild Apple Girl and Ill Starred Man were originally scheduled to be included on the 'A Beard Of Stars album but were withdrawn after Steve "Peregrine" Took's departure in 1969.
The group towards the end id’ed as THE BAND is NOT THE BAND. It may be a band, but not THE Band.
"II Gianti" is who-- an Italian band.
I migliori anni musicali
Stunning view...¡¡¡ YEAH...
Great line-up. Interestingly, they all use the same back-line yet all sound so different...
The orchestra was right on time, close to the album. A TRAMP SHINING
"Rome Pop Festival"? Never heard of it - and I remember the very first Isle of Wight Festival feat. Arthur Brown and Jefferson Airplane, also in 1968.
Looks like David Bowie borrowed his look from Julie Driscoll
The Association
Blimey...The Nice sounded really modern in a 2000s sort of way. Looked it too.
Where's this been all this time.
hello to all from Hollywood Joe
The Byrds what can you say
So good but just how good all these years later
Byrds beat Floyd to the Roman ruins
Floyd played at Pompeii (Naples) not Rome.
If the Traffic part were in it I'd buy it lol!!
Alvin with a hendrix perm!!! Thank F*ck he snapped out of that!!!!!
Max Verstappen on the bongos with Donovan.😂
Absolutely NOT the City/Place for This Conglomeration of Bands ! ONLY Reason I Checked It Out Was I Thought MAYBE 10 Years After Might Have Done “I’d Love to Change the World” Which WOULD BE Appropriate for Rome Even Though My Reason for Being a 10 Years After Fan is Alvin’s KILLER BLUES 🎶🥰🎶‼️
Nsane. I was born septembre 23rd 1968
Julie Driscoll is killing it. The rest is interesting but…whatever. Beefheart without vocals? What a pity
The Association, The Band,
The Byrds интересны здесь.
An incredible snapshot of the ‘progressive’ music of the time. Great to watch, but my, how far we’ve come since these early experimental days.
Yeah, backwards.
@@burtramone765 True. Streaming is basically singles in a juke box. The art of making proper albums is extinct.
Love TYA.
Zappa would of fitted perfect in this. DVD need to get THIS video😮
The Nice playing over the intro shots of Rome
Fun - thanks!
Keith Emerson singing!
I hope there are full length videos of these performances.
appearantly they want you to cough up
First time I have ever seen Donovan perform in a concert and not playing his guitar.
Many years ago,i heard a rare Pink Floyd song in FM radio. It came out during this time period and was about 6-7 minutes long and featured an upbeat,renissance sounding organ melody and a middle 8 trippy guitar solo. The singer was probably Rick Wright because the words were close to his lyrical style,telling of someone reminiscing about a past love affair with movements still flowing in his mind. This was,i believe a post Syd song. If anyone thinks they know this song title,drop in your ideas. Thanks!
FYI, college stations back in th 80s and early 90s were known for playing vintage treasures!. I don't have a clue back in 1992 what bootleg comp they dug up this Pink Floyd song from but soon,hopefully,we can get the definitive title!🖖🖖🖖
Summer '68?
No,sorry wish I knew more
Think of the renussance,classical,waltz music but with a dreamy,psychedelic pop sound. That's what this song was plus it's a rare studio cut. I don't know if that helps
@@calliopivogiatzis2235 Hmm difficult. I was thinkin about maybe Remember a Day, Paintbox, The Scarecrow, Carefull with that axe Eugene, or See Saw? But i guess it's something rarer.....
Here,I can give you what I REALLY thought were the BEST guesses from some folks so far:
1.A saucerfull of secrets, pt.4
2.Egor I Opizoinevshie
3.Roger's boogie?
4.Behold the temple of light
5. 370 Roman yards as a possible lp where this song can be foound
Captian Beefheart.
That’s right, The Mascara Snake 🐍
@@brianfergus839 The Blimp! The Blimp!
@@rodbottomley4514 fast and booulbous
@@brianfergus839 Fast and Bullous!
@@rodbottomley4514 bulbous also tapered
Who's that woman belting out Save Me...FANTASTIC!
Julie Driscoll... She was the highlight for me!
Best know for "This Wheels on Fire" with Brian Augers Trinity
she's Julie Driscoll, for year with Brian Auger
Donovan is Magickal !!
🍄🤪🤡🚴♀Captain Beefheart the man 🚴♀👾🍄🍪
Although it seems they cut his microphone(s) off - even two of 'em.
I agree - shame they lost his vocal: was the whole performance like that? If not, why put the Magic Band minus Beefheart in the highlight clips? There is great footage of this band in France, probably the same month. Would like to see that whole set.
This is awe full.
Roger Waters is a regular Hendrix.
HBD..Nick Mason!….
Turned 80 yesterday!
Captain Beefheart...is like Devo, only 10 years early. Other echos and resonance. Pink Floyd just starting?
I like the dancers on stage.
Please post more if you have it
See how to order the full recording at end of video.
This guys shilling hard lmao
Ten Years After !!!
A band who sings with an obvious English accent is a band who has no intentions of crossing over into the US market.
What in the holy mother of invention is this!?
Lets see it all
oh i wish this was the whole concert ...
Mickey Curtis and The Samurai
Tetsu Yamauchi on bass!
Roger McGuinn in 1968 looked exactly like Stephen Malkmus from Pavement
