Muchas gracias!! Justo lo que buscaba
¡Gracias! Estaba buscando The Unquiet Grave. Es una de las mejores versiones que escuché y quiero hacerla en la guitarra 🙂
Acabo de descubrir este vídeo...vaya maravilla. Y ver "The Astrologer" ya ha sido la locura XD
Since I heard Red Queen to the Gryphon Tree as a teenager sold to this music. This is absolutely beautiful. Cheers!!!
All these years and you still don't get the title right...
@swiss
Does it matter ?
@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw I don't know... Does it matter to get things right? Do correctness and accuracy matter in life?
@@SwissCheese667
It matters if you're a neurosurgeon or operating a nuclear power station. It's pretty effin critical then. The name of an album from 50 years ago ? It matters if you're a sufferer of Asperger's Syndrome, I suppose.

Wouldn't wanna hand over a NPP to people with your mentality.
I was there and it will always stay an unforgettable gig for me and many others attending
When you are normally going to a record store looking for hard rock/Metal albums but happen across a Treason LP and buy it thinking it looks like a hard rock album cover for a band you never heard of.
An unexpected expansion of music taste but a welcomed one.
GRYPHON : magical music : FOREVER YOUNG !!!
First heard Gryphon in my UK university days in the 1970s. Was sad when they first broke up, but never knew they had re-formed, and certainly never expected to find this gem here in Australia so many years later. An absolute joy to see and hear. Wonderful music
This band rocks so much more than our poplist artists, whoever they are...
Absolutely extraordinary and completely unique,they are truly one of a kind.I first heard this back in 75 when I was 14 years old.Couldn't believe it then and still can't now.Where in the world do you learn how to play a krummhorn anyway? I couldn't think of anything sounding more authentically medieval.Anyone who doesn't believe in time travel has never heard these amazing gentlemen play.
I think that they (or some of them at least) are Royal College of Music graduates. I would imagine they studied Renaissance instruments and music. There was a bit of Tielman Susato influence there.
I had their album ( I may still have it) Midnight Mushrumps. One of the tracks was the backing music for the Old Vic production of The Tempest with Gielgud as Prospero. It was a magical performance. I won't forget it. It was 1975. I was a fifth former.
*** Also most of them still have hair, although grayer/ whiter than they used to be circa 1974/75.
😊😁
I'm crying a river listening this gentlemans playing this songs, a real masterpiece!
Close your eyes and you will stay in the Middle Ages... Wonderful! Unique! Love Gryphon since the 70ties!
Susato? Fantastic.
I love these guys.
Gosh, this YT discovery sends one of the biggest smiles, biggest crops in my throat and such a sheer BIG delight of joy through my musical veins. Never expected to see this by one of my alltime cult fav bands ever.
I loved Gryphon alongside David Munrow and the Consort of Musicke, who were more on the "classical" side of things. Musicianship wise, there was nothing in it. The early 70s was a great time for British folk and folk rock, Fairport, Steeleye, Lindisfarne etc. Gryphon fitted in there somewhere.
BTW Does Graeme Taylor still appear with the Albion Band, and Ashley Hutchings ? Does the Albion Band still exist ? ( I'm a bit out of touch, here in France. )
Hearing Kemp's Jig in the late 70s, I think, turned me on to medieval music. I then went on to study the lute for 10 years. It was all a joy! Thanks, guys. Do you still drink down 'the dog'!
Here we all are, fans and group alike, all these years later. A real pleasure as always to hear tracks that coloured my long-lost teen years, alongside the more commercial stuff of the day. Thanks to you the band for sharing this marvellous performance.
Fantastic concert! Didn't realize 16th century music could be this HIP.
The juxtaposition of music so wonderfully eclectic and medieval sounding with the musicians reading their music off iPads and MacBooks. Who said young and old can’t co-exist? They should listen to Gryphon often. Great gig.
My husband saw Gryphon live in 1974 at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft. Worth,Texas, US, with Yes, and we've loved their music since.❤
Deep Joy! A great tonic in these dark times. Great picture/ sound quality. Thank you gentlemen
First heard albums of Gryphon as a teenager back in the late 70s. Have played their albums to anyone who would listen Never thought I’d get to see them ‘live’. What a treat.
A Brilliant Concert. A CD/DVD would be the most wondrous event.
Great stuff! And still touring! 😊
So many happy memories. Best band ever. Got tickets for rearranged dates at Cambridge and Cromer and really can't wait.
Real masterpiece video.... Highly sought after piece.... Musicians music fiends and all music listeners should be proud of having such a rare awesome soul soothing performance from these great masters.... Thank you all of this channel... 💐💐💐👍👍👍
Wonderful! I was at this gig - third time of seeing Gryphon. The previous times were in the 1970s - when I was much younger than I am now😀
What a delightful surprise in these weird times.Thank you very much!
i had this on the tip of my tongue!!! my first time hearing this (am a fan of "Gentle Giant", "Jethro Tull", "Renaissance" early "Genesis" (P.G. era) and i am absolutely in love with this!
Quite possibly the coolest gentlemen I've ever stumbled upon.
No other band will ever sound like this!
What a great surprise!! First time I see a good quality video of a concert from Gryphon; delicious!!
I love and still hear often their classic albums from the 70s, all of them master works; even when my favorite is "Red Queen to Gryphon Three". And their most recent album "Reinvention" is also very good. Hopefully they will keep playing and making wonderful music as they do.
Please, publish this material in a bluray or dvd... Thanks a lot for so much marvelous music!
Thank you for sharing this! I'm a huge Gryphon fan but somehow missed this the past 2 years.
Great show. You touch my heart
Way beyond wonderful. xx
Meraviglia delle meraviglie ❤
I stumbled upon Gryphon in 1982 as a 23 year old; too late then to have seen the band in all their youthful vitality. Until that is I found them on RUclips, albeit a little further on in life! What an utter joy! For a non-musician like me, I can only marvel at the beauty of the sound that you guys create. You prove that recreating a sound live is a rare and difficult skill that few can achieve. You are masters of this skill! Thank you so much for making an old (young) man very happy. My sincere gratitude to you all.x
What a beautiful answer for the BeautifulBand
Beautiful
Thanks from Bulgaria! It is a wonderful gift, I'm speechless.
Thanks for sharing !!!
I will admit to being something of a Gryphon virgin, although I do know Graeme from one of his ventures in the past. I am staggered. This is musical magic. I missed it all. To be rectified extremely quickly.
Me too! ❤
A gift from heaven! Thank you very much!!!!!
Superbe...Real music
Thank you! Of all the artistic kindnesses of these troubled times, this is the dearest.
Such a beautiful gift from one of my favorite bands of all time. Thank you for bringing joy in such hard times. Love from Brazil!
First time I saw Gryphon was after they appeared on Magpie at East Mein pub....Have the first two LP's,the third one on cassette and now this latest one on CD.A bit of a change since 1973.....👍🇪🇦🇬🇧
Brilliant! A bunch of us were into Gryphon mid-70's when I was at Uni and they performed for us at (what was then) Lanchester Polytechnic in Rugby, either 1976 or 77.
Sadly, the same night Kratwerk were playing at our Coventry site and most of the campus went. There were only about 50 of us to see Gryphon, but they put on a fantastic show and we had space to jig around the floor and really enjoy it. The next day, everyone who went to see Kraftwerk said it was terrible lol!
Saw Gryphon again supporting Yes in Stoke On Trent in the 70's. Must try and get to a concert if you are still performing, once COVID-19 is over of course. Shame I just lived off Chapel Market in Islington in the late 70's too!
Awesome! My brother sent this link to me. We were both fans back in the day. Unfortunately, we didn't discover the band until after their US tour. I gave them a fair bit of radio play at WUVT (Virginia Tech's station).
I remember my brother coming home from a Steeleye gig raving that the support band had blown them away. Yes, laydeezgemmun, that band was none other than a lil English band called… GRYPHON! Mushrumps will be playing at my funeral, but good luck collecting the royalties.
I first came across Gryphon in the early '70s. This is wonderful. So hoping to hear you live again after lockdown...
Outstanding! A live concert. What a gift from Gryphon!
Wow just discovered this! It sounds amazing. Feels like I’m in an english forest.. just strolling around.
Absolutely wonderfull to be able to finaly see my nr one wishlist band play 'live' in my home living room .
Perfect sound and image.
Brilliant music and beautifull gentlemen.
Love this!
Piet from Belgium
Amazing
So great to be able to enjoy this concert, thank you for putting it up. I've been listening to you since my childhood in the '70's, I remember having a pretend medieval disco to your first album! Took my young ones to see you at Southampton a few years back, my son now has a crumhorn... :)
Fantastic - thank you so much fo this - especially today - kevin o
The last time I saw Gryphon performing was nearly 46 years ago, supporting Yes, and they seem to have matured well without any loss of dexterity. A masterful and delightful performance!
This is quality guys and what a GREAT! treat to all Gryphonites! That was a spectacular performance by you all and I only got to see you at the Robin 2 in this year and the year before. Really enjoyed watching this just and will watch a lot more times too and Thank You...
Great music! I discovered Gryphon 40 years ago and I still love it!
so good !!!
This is everything! I've stumbled across Gryphon only 6 months ago through progressive rock group on fb. Wish I knew about them earlier but glad I'm here
Have loved Gryphon since the 70s! Happy to see them again after all these years!
Thanks for making my quarantine much more palatable.
My favorite band ever!
Wonderful gentlemen....you brought back so many lovely memories :)
Thank you. . .just what the doctor ordered. An evening of live, inspired music
My true musical loves. The shadows. Moody blues. Gryphon. So judge me if you Will or want!
Completely Brilliant! Thank you Gryphon.
And what a wonderful gift this is! Since early seventies I've been a big fan of progrock, but for unclear reasons missed Gryphon in those earlier years. By pure coincidence I stumbled into your beautiful music when, earlier this century, I visited Burman's Musik, a very old (almost 100 years) music shop in Umea, North Sweden. This guy was selling second hand albums and convinced me to take the "Gryphon" album home. It proves you're never too old to learn about more good music. I really loved your performance, you all look great (and well dressed :-)) and I can see that you still love what you have been - still are - doing. Hopefully next time I will be there as well. A wholehearted thanks, keep it up, stay well and warm greetings from another old guy from Leiden the Netherlands.
WOW ..... what a wonderful video. I have the first five "classical" Gryphon albums in my collection for a long time ... and i love them all. Wondeful to see that this great band was alive. I hope to see you in Gemany live in the future.
Thanks for such beautiful music. - from Canada. GBG NO EDITS.
What a top show, they look to be having fun too, how I wish I had been there. I first saw them on either Magpie or Blue Peter when their first LP got released, and I love it now as much as I did then, top stuff!!!!!😁
What a wonderful concert!! And it is so nice to watch them alive, at least on video. I have been a follower of Gryphon since the 70s, and so got very excited when finally they published their new album, that is great. Now being able to watch a good video of them is a blessing. Hopefully they will publish also this or other concert in dvd/bluray. Thanks for the wonderful music!!
Amazing. I discovered Gryphon 2 weeks ago (Spotify recommended it to me) and I am in love with your work!
Me and my friend met both Dave Oberle and then Richard Harvey when producing a prog rock magazine. We met Dave Oberle in Hyde Park in the gentle year of 1979. I doubt that either of them will remember... the magazine had two outings ! Happy, happier days.
A real nostalgia trip for me. I played that first album to death back in the day, then my husband bought the CD of it for me last year, and I still love it. Had so wanted to be at this gig but couldn't make it, so thank you so much for sharing this xx

What a glorious find this is. Can't do much better than to echo all those who have commented before me. C'est magnifique. When I first heard Gryphon back in 1974 as opener for Yes I had to rush out and get their fantastic "Red Queen..." album. Would never have imagined then that 47 years later I'd be watching a full concert video such as this.
Brilliant performance!
Awesome show! Thanks for sharing.
❤phenomenal wonderful music
Curiouser and Curiouser, wow yeees, you are the musicians of Gryphon? I'm a french man, living in France, and i discovered Gryphon when i was twenty (now i'm 44), and i'm a huge fan. I am a flute player of medieval and prehistoric flutes, and GRYPHON make me dreaming since more than 20 years, i love this music so much, and i would love to have a conversation with you all!!!! I looove this concert, i would love to see you in concert one day (i play in england sometime, last year i played in Stonehenge for archeologists, and in Bournemouth university, in Shagford too etc). you are wonderful musicians, magic, i love you dear Gryphons!!!
Loved you guys here in Philadelphia where you backed up Yes in 78 maybe? Thanks for the great memories. You're still high on my play list as there still is no serious competition in the beautiful chamber music you do.
Wondrous, thanks. They had me at Second Spasm.
You guys rock
my dear friends, thank you so much for having shared this pearl with us, your fans. Great joy when listen to your music. Deep love from a portuguese fan
Brilliant and....yes please release on DVD
Joyful and life-affirming. And as if this gift of a film weren’t enough, I find on Wikipedia that Harvey and Davie were also ‘The Banned’, whose great punk-riff single ‘Little Girl’ was always a favourite. Talk about versatility. It’s taken me 43 years to make that connection. Isn’t the internet wonderful!
Brilliant...I'm sorry I missed them first time around. Was too busy listening to Steeleye, Fairport and ISB - my loss
gran banda de antaño
This is just so so good. Wish I'd known Gryphon had reformed, I would have loved to have seen them.
Wonderful to see such talented musicians playing these lovely songs, a breath of fresh air in a world bereft of good music, thank you for getting together to bring joy to us real music lovers. I hope it is available on dvd.
Thank you gentlemen for the lovely and masterful songs! I am thoroughly enjoying them in America, and wish I could come see you in England! Your music has been a constant companion for me while i work on editing my novel!
Such a joy to see this great concert of one of my all time favorite bands !!! Many thanks for sharing! And good to see you're all doing well.
Nice to see a 70s band you can still take seriously.
Thanks for this. It was a great evening!
The Unquiet Grave. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
thanks for posting. a friend and me saw you guys on December 2, 1974 in the Houston Astrodome, Houston, TX with Yes & Mahavishnu orchestra. we became instant fans.
The second part of opening number was also performed by Blackmore's Night.
Awesome concert, one of my favourite bands.
Yay, Second Spasm, my favorite!
Excellent sound!
