RIP Ian Bairnson. 💫🕊 Thanks to all the musicians who made growing up in the 70s and 80s an awesome time for music. 📻
He was reincarnated as Mark Zuckerberg
Never knew he died..Knew about Billy Lyle tho'. Lost touch..
An amazing musician. The session work he did alone (both in the UK and here in the US) is impressive to say the least. I read years ago that at one point in his career he had received offers to re-locate to L.A. to do steady session work. But I guess he passed as he decided to remain in England.
@@rayjr62I thought they all lived in Scotland.
How does that make any sense to you?
RIP Ian Bairnson passed today at 69 yoa - tremendously talented Scottish rock guitarist for Alan Parsons Project, Kate Bush, and of course PILOT.
Brilliant musician, 69 absolutely no age these days😮
Live live live,its magic,not like the crap of today.70s fantastic times,when i finish building my time machine,im off and never coming back ✌️✌️✌️✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Plz take me with you lol😂
Don't forget me😂
Classic 😂 I often reminisce about the 70's/80's. Any more room in your time machine?
Rest in peace Ian Bairnson of Pilot.
man that guitar sounds good.....Ian was a great player.....RIP
David Paton is a personal friend and this video was a great find. And what a great book on TOTP Peter! Top marks for the effort put into producing it.
Obsure footage from one Scotland’s finest bands ever👍.
Really brings back the 70's, before Punk changed everything. Pilot's songs are some of the most enduring of that period.
Hmmmm....you're right, I never realized that punk was quite that influential. Thankfully punk only lasted in the mainstream for two years, but it did generate post punk, and new wave, but not early 80s Glamour Rock (Tears for Fears, Duran Duran), nor mid 80s New Age. So far that's ok with me, I like Punk ok as well as New Wave, for two years those are fun, and post punk is good too, and also didn't last long. However I never realized it until you said it but I utterly can not forgive punk for giving rise to grunge, and that, my friend, lasted TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, not just two.
Its great to hear some other songs besides Magic and January. Great band, guitarists and lead vocalist is pure 70s bliss.
This should be available on CD - spectacular live performance of their cleverly crafted British pop somewhere between Badfinger, Supertramp, Hollies and 10cc. I've always liked them, but this is impressive.👌
That guitar player is amazing.
It's Ian Bairnson - he also played on Kate Bush and Alan Parsons Project albums including the amazing solo in Wuthering Heights - he a friend of my parents :)
Bairnson was brilliant without histrionics.
@@pmacfto Oh wow. Can u get any cooler?? Dont think so! :)
Absolutely. A great guitarist.
@@pmacfto Friend of your parents, lucky!
When I was in the last year of school all the girls were into The Bay City Rollers except me. I had class, I was a Pilot fan through and through. Got all their albums. I remember one time one of their albums was newly released. My mum gave money to get a top. I only got 50p pocket money in those days. I took the bus into Glasgow city centre to Woolworths and bought the album with my pocket money and some of the money my mum gave me for the top. I then went and picked the cheapest top I could find for 99p. When I got to the counter I was 1p short. I turned to the queue and asked if someone could give me 1p. Which someone did.
I then had to walk all the way home to Whiteinch after the Clyde tunnel. Took me a few hours but much of that time was stopping on a bench in Kelvingrove park devouring every word on the album cover and savouring how the album would sound when I finally got home. Thank goodness my mum never asked for the receipt for the top :) one of my best memories
Far out. I dig the story. I had the 45 record. Bay city rollers. Peace. Tx
They would've wiped the floor with a lot of the so called "top stars of the day ". Ian on guitar is absolutely FANTASTIC".!!
44 years before Covid19, when life was easy.
You will be fine .......777
could leave your door open back then
It sure was 😉
Before a lot of things. Good things
Gota go back 70's
This is amazing. I never knew they were so talented and versatile. What a great lead guitarist!
From Pilot , the guitarist Ian Barinson went to Alan Parsosn Project just to mention...
@@oscarguerrero9788 And David Paton also went to Alan Parsons Project for a good number of albums to play bass and sing backing and occasional lead vocals. :) Even Stuart Tosh from Pilot appeared on a couple early APP albums before Stuart Elliot became the long-time drummer.
Ian Bairnson played the guitar solo on Kate Bush’ Wuthering heights as well. Excellent player.
Pilot were backing musicians on the first few Kate Bush albums that's how good they are session players! 👍
You don't know how much I miss those days. And they really sang live. 😀
The chorus "la la la"'s is a backing tacking and David has backing track double for his chorus vocal. Not really that live, but is quite live. There's also a live guitar solo harmony backing track.
@@pietpadda593 I didn't think about that until you mentioned it. Thanks.
@@pietpadda593 I heard that double tracking on the lead vocal. I didn't know they w/could do that on live singing. seems risky. You need to be really precise when singing with a doubled vocal and that's going to be risky to nail live.
Telling live from playback is pretty much like telling an AI writer from a human.

@@TONEScott Done, thank you.
Thanks a lot for this SETLIST . Evennow, almost 50 years ago I WAS SO AMAZED fot this GREAT TALENT
Thanks for the set list.
Thanks
A truly great band. Ian Bairnson and David Paton are great players. Wonderful stuff.
They played on Kate Bush's first two albums
Totally agree, these guys are really excellent musicians, singers and writers.. they never got real big in USA unfortunately. Though Magic was a hit in USA I believe.
They’re all good looking blokes too
Yes it was... Great song!
pilot, the best band of the years for me, perfect voice, perfect sound, fills me peace and love
It's great to come back to these videos from the 70s and forget the crazy world we live in now.
40+ years on from casually liking their big hits I recently investigated the albums. What a great band, reminiscent of Badfinger.
Same here.
Way better then Badfinger in musicianship alone, just saying lol👍
Pilot were also the original Alan Parsons Project, with singer/bassist David Paton and guitarist Ian Bairnson staying on for some time. Indeed, all those fabulous guitar solos on those APP records were Bairnson. That duo are also on Kate Bush's early albums (that is Bairnson soloing at the end of 'Wuthering Heights'). Paton worked with Fish of Marillion, Elton John (four albums), Rick Wakeman (check RUclips) and Camel, where at one point he was renunited with original Pilot drummer Stu Tosh (who had moved on to 10cc) on the album 'On the Road - Live 1982', which is great. Listen to Camel's studio version of 'Sasquatch', which has Paton on bass and the great Simon Phillips who was enlisted on drums for that track. Pilot never reminded me of Badfinger, though Paton is tangibly influenced by Paul MaCartney (some of his solo work is more better McCartney than Sir Paul's works) and Bairnson's melodic guitar playing at times hints at the Beatles. Badfinger were SO Beatle-y yet it was 'them'...one never felt they were copycatting. I still think they were the best and most authentic of the 'new Beatles'. 'No Matter What', 'Baby Blue', 'Day After Day', 'Perfection'... all right up there with the Beatles. Todd Rundgren, when he chooses to do so, also is great at that style (he produced Badfinger, too).
@@batphink2655Don't agree plus Badfinger were huge in USA. İn those days American Market was the one you had to break.
Pete Ham and Tom Evans died because of the rights to their song, Without You....Harry Nilson. Recorded by hundreds of artists. Not one Pilot song as good as that.
They also played on Imagine album by Lennon.
Concert for Bangla Desh where Pete Ham was co-lead with George Harrison.
Now please go away with your just saying comments.
Thanks.
This video just oozes with 70's fabulousness - great music & great musicians.
Was such a good time to be alive.
Bring the feeling of the times into today and help our misguided world.
Love this song play it everyday on my way home from work
Great Music 🎶 🎵 👌 👏 👍
Bassist David Paton, drummer Stuart Tosh and guitarist Ian Bairnson all went on to success with The Alan Parsons Project and played on "Games People Play", "Eye In The Sky" and "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You".
Shoot. I got to be that guy that points out it was Stuart Elliot playing on "Games People Play" and "Eye in the Sky" not Tosh.
Oh, this is new for me ! I didn't know that !!
@@rhorto01 You're right. I meant that the Pilot band members were in tact at the beginning of he Alan Parsons Project. Paton and Bairnson stayed.
Yeah Stuart Tosh played drums for the I Robot album (1977) by The Alan Partsons Project... David Paton played bass and Ian Bairnson on guitar!!!... The albums after I Robot Stuart Tosh was somehow replaced by drummer Stuart Elliot for albums EVE,Pyramid,Turn of a Friendly Card,Eye In The Sky and so on and so fourth. I believe Billy Lyall joined the guys as well correct me if I'm wrong. I love this group and am in love with their sound. the drumming, bass and guitar. BTW The Alan Parsons Project is my favorite group!!!
@@kristiankelley9508 Yeah, Tosh got busy playing drums for 10CC after Godley and Creme left. Same thing happened to The Project when David Paton got busy playing for Elton John's band and was replaced by Laurence Cottle on Gaudi.
Great guitar playing! First time I can see this band really performing! Back in the 70s, it was hard to see most bands anywhere on TV. I'm thankful that I'm from this era! Never again in time!😢
Wow - what a great show this is. I've owned all the Pilot material for years. I've never seen this. Top stuff.
Love that this is totally live 🎤
Got any proof of "totally live", if you refer to the music and vocals, except for the audience, if there was one (?)?
@@RealmoftheBlackShadow Don’t be pedantic and stupid. This is obviously live, there may be some backing stuff but it is a live performance.
@@aussie8114 Yoiu're the clearly stuåid one here. All we see is a video.
@@aussie8114 Yoiu're the clearly the stupid one here. All we see is a video on a screen. That's all.
His voice and playing amazing. The guitar work is stunning. They were really good nice and funky too. The 2 guitars song is totally amazing so jazzy I love it, what a lovely surprise. The melody of this song is so beautiful.
He sings in an octave lower than the studio version, this sucks.
@@gumbys ok. But lots of bands use the trick of slowing down the instruments and vocals when recording. Then they speed it all up a bit afterwards and print the records.
I love Pilot, but I was not aware that they could rock this hard. What a performance.
Wonderful scottish-singer a wonderful mile
Smile
À wonderful singer
It's really good to see Pilot actually live rather than miming like they did on top of the pops and other shows
I loved this song when it came out in 1975 and still do. I had never seen a photo or clip of the band. I have a feeling I would have loved it even more, being a 12 year old girl at the time, if I had!
Davids voice is beautiful and fantastic I love david paton so much now❤😇😇😄😄😍😍

Great band. Very underrated. Really enjoying this. Thanks for posting. This is Old Grey Whistle Test Quality. All great players. Ian Bairnson and David Paton played on many Kate Bush albums including The Kick Inside. Guitar solo on Wuthering Heights is Ian Bairnson.
David Paton, lindo, lindo, lindo ...... con tus canciones traes al presente una bella época de sueños e ilusiones.
Finaly RUclips puts up or allows some musicians I actually worked with many,many years ago.These guys were great & some still are!
What a band. very lucky i was to meet most of them. cheers David.x
Great band! Great David Paton, was also Elton John's bass player.
And Alan Parsons Project's, and Rick Wakeman's, and Camel's...
@ I loved David's version of Alan's EYE IN THE SKY, it's great. ❤👍
Yes, it's great! I recently saw one of his videos playing Separate Lives, also by APP
And Kate Bush’s.
Ozempic brought me here, the funky groove of the third song and the Gilmouresque guitar soloing of the fourth tune kept me here.
Great exact lead guitar like the Recording. AMAZING THE BEAUTIFUL MELODY NOT A PENNY IN MY POCKET. GREAT SONG AND POP MELODIES AND VOCALS.
Incredible combination of talent and charisma! Not only great songs but fantastic to look at…
This is fab, thanks for sharing it. Great band and lovely melodic songs.Made me feel young again
RIP Ian. I loved your music and still do. Brilliant songs 😢
Always loved Pilot still do love you guys so great memories from 70s
Thanks for uploading this much appreciated 😘
I remember this song growing up. Still brings back so many great memories.
I love it, was so popular when I was in school
I mean I wasn’t born when this occurred....but I’m still jealous I missed it!!! 😍🤟🏽❤️🤷🏽♀️
Thanks for posting it. I am young Polish expat living in Bahrain married to English guy and i love this music! I actually learnt about Pilot band from movie Happy Gilmore when i heard song 'It's magic" . Now i love all of their tracks thanks to you!
David I must say, you look like you are really enjoying yourself and having light-hearted fun on stage. Love to see you so carefree!
LOVED the band growing up in the 1970's. Great Song !! :)
This is extremely impressive. "Magic" is down a minor 3rd...To me, these guys were so top notch. The discography of the lead singer looks quite like Jeff Porcaro. Pulling off this sound with all the stuff going on...Hats off to the engineer(s). Love the guitarist's vibrato. Perfect!
Yes, I noticed that too... I thought the single version was in G, but then I doubted myself. Great band. Bairnson is a fantastic guitarist - seriously underrated!
It sounded like Dave's voice was shot here. He looked and sounded like he was straining so I'm guessing he was sick. The backing vocals were a mix of recorded tracks, Dave and the female vocalist.
@@michaelnagle5690 That's what I reckon too. And he seemed to grow into the gig as it wore on, regardless.
@@andyjones125 Yes, it is in G.
First Song and Last Song ,Live Vocals...Love this Group .Brings back the 70's to me,good times.Thank you..
This is superb!! Thanks ever so much for posting this on here as I have loved Pilot since the 1970's. I didn't think there was anything resembling a concert by the band outside of individual performances here and there. "Morin Heights" was my favorite album and so nice to see this from that year. David Paton, Ian Bairnson , Stuart Tosh and prior to this Billy Lyall... you all were awesome!! R.I.P. Ian and Billy
this is when music was music weve strayed America, Time to get Back on the Right Track!!!!!!
The lady singing backing vocals does a wonderful job here !
Fantastic band-thank you for the music guys
Some absolutely first class lead by ian bairnson.
The only vintage live video of them! Thanks for posting!
That was beautiful and wonderful as this handsome David paton have a good singing voice I hear. I love it a lot now because I love David's music he sang a long time ago seance David was in a young age and it was incredibly fantastic. Good job for pilot and the half of the bay city rollers we love them all and David the cute and handsome singer with a guitar 💖💖💖😍😍😍☺☺☺😊😊😊🙂🙂🙂😄😄😄😊😊😊
Wonderful. Great quality, great band, great songs ❤️
Thank you so much for this!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love ❤️ love 💕 💗 David he is so sunlight singer
Thanks for posting this. I've watched it many times.
On "Magic," you can a really tasty example of what Bairnson would do a year later on the APP's "I Wouldn't Want to be Like You".
So good..!!! Guitarist kills..Harmony's etc..Killer...Did'nt know Pilot was so great!!!
great pop rock group
Great hearing the band live! Fantastic concert!
Only a handful of bands sound as good or better live. This band sounds even BETTER live. Their studio sound was too "carefully'' recorded. The Eagles is probably the best at repeating their studio performances. I hate it when bands try to sing vocals different than the record. They never sound better.
WONDERFUL :) THIS IS FOR U DAVID 💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍
Oh Gawd thank you,. this practically brought back memories of my childhood.
RIP Ian. Never forgotten
I’m just in love with this video. Makes me wish I had been older in the 70’s. So much talent!
Was great bands in those years pilot was too where have those years gone I was born in 1965 .. my husband was born 1954 and likes pilot the group too soo amazing 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Un super moment avec Pilot! Merci😊👏
Here in Brasil the song “Canada” was a huge hit in the year 1976.
wow..just wow...... flawless and fearless live performance.......shaming todays bands
Absolutly true. The music today sounds like something we would warm up with before we started singing the good songs
Ian Bairnson was an awesome guitarist ! RIP Ian.
Thanks for putting this up. Been trying to find a decent copy for ages and now it's here 😀👍
You're welcome! A great band.
@@peterchecksfield1031 oh yeah! Very underrated
Grande banda dos anos 70 fazia um ótimo som pop rock , rock progressivo com certeza marcou a época entre as grandes bandas do rock
@@peterchecksfield1031 Do you know who were the backup singers? Where would I find a biography of David? He does some very tasty bass lines, while he's singing and not looking. Reminds me of McCartney. Has an awesome persona onstage. I am astonished that the band did not go on to huge things. They were so accomplished both vocally and instrumentally. Did they have a manager?
@@6345788 I believe that the female backing singer is Marilyn Miller and that the two keyboard players are Peter Oxendale and Steve Swindells
Superbe concert thank Pilot and David perfect 👍 😘
Actual live music, rough and raw. Nice
The magic😮 was in the singer's smile...😊
Yeah, I agree. He had a very nice smile.
Great concert! A couple of these guys went on to power my all time favorite band, the Alan Parsons Project.
Alan Parsons produced many of their music as well.
Bass guitar and Lead guitar from the best records of Alan Parsons...Patton Also sings on some Alan Parsons songs but we have to admit PILOT was a perfect pop band...Harmonies, arrangments, bass, guitar even some keyboard moments all in the right place soaring perfectly well together!!
great musicians
I had no idea this band had such a great guitar player.
Ian Bairnson
This just breathtaking in every way !
I was there it was amazing saw loads of bands from.the 70s including pilot 😁
"Canadá", um grande sucesso dessa banda aqui no Brasil... E eu ainda estudante e descobrindo todas as bandas de rock do mundo. Que época maravilhosa e livre! - Janeiro/2021. 🇧🇷
BRO- ESTO ES ARTE AAAAHH❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is much better than the lip synced version
Refreshing 😍😍🎵🎶
Love it! ❤️❤️❤️
Ao vivo! Que show! Adoro os arranjos de guitarra. E essas vozes!
Great live performance...
Great musicians. Great band
This is fantastic
何回見ても・・・最高で～す。♥♥
I don’t speak what you’re spitting, but I hear you 😎
当時はB.C.Rばかり人気が有ってPilotファンとしては少し肩身が狭かったですよ。
中学生〜還暦 ずっと聴いてます
Billが居た頃が1番良かった😄
LOVELY LADIE SMILE
良い曲だ‼️
私も同じです。
車ではpilotオンリーです。
娘がつとめていたお店ではUSENで毎日数回パイロットの曲が流れていると言っていました。
私も還暦です。中学から高校にかけて自分でパイロットのロゴをノートの表紙にしたりしていました。
今私の夢は65才にはスコットランドに行くことです。
ミーハーだと言われたこともありますが、絶対に行きます。
デイビットとビリーが、出会った図書館に行きたいと思っています💕
Exelente muy buena música desde 🇨🇱
