I remember seeing them in Hull and hung around 'till everyone had gone and meeting Dick Taylor and him showing me his 12 string guitare and giving me a quick lesson on it. What a great guy. Thank again Dick
Finally got to see this great band at their farewell gig & never realised what a phenomenal guitarist Dick Taylor is. He’s rarely mentioned when people talk about great guitarists, but his playing that night offered a masterclass in how to play proper R&B.
Back then when London, London was! Back then, when West Europe was as it was. Back then when Bands, real Bands were. Back then, when Fans enjoyed to be live at a concert without stupid handphones. 🙏
Such a great document of such a great band. Too bad the camera crew was so clueless as to not get a single good shot of Phil May!?!? WTF?! He was the main reason those girls were swooning - so cool in his US Drinking Team sweatshirt. 😎 They had their opportunity to zoom in on that shit and completely fumbled the ball. Still, glad this document exists, but it could’ve been so much better. Poor girls getting crushed up against the stage, Security had no idea what to do, after pulling that girl off of Brian Pendleton, Security put her back at the front in the crushing section. 🙄
The soundtrack and the video don't match - especially Phil's vocals, as well as the dancing continuing after the conclusion of the music. At 00:03 the headstock of a CBS Stratocaster puts in a brief appearance, but further on Dick is seen with his usual (at that time) ES 335 and Brian, with or without attached fan, is playing his Telecaster.
Whats he saying in the final chorus? Because it definitely doesn't sound like he's singing "But until I'll settle down, say I'll be your man" Sounds more like "but until then I says-I-am, say I dig it man don't bring me down" Also in the recording he says "and then to *him* I will be true" lol.
This has to be the WORST BAND EVER. Viv Prince hit his drum so hard that his drumstick flew out of his hand and into the crowd. My friend picked it up and put it down her blouse. Viv refused to carry on until he got his drumstick back. My friend was not willing to give it back. In the end, he went into the dressing room and got another drumstick --- BIG BABY!!!

Vivian Prince on drums in 1966....Impossible. 1964 or 1965.

Richard Ward They still are man
I would have a lot of fun if I could time travel . . .
@@jailaye6929 Reckon we all would.
Los vi actuar hace unos 8/10 años en Alicante/España.Con Phil May y Dick Taylor,impresionantes,como estar in London 1966/67.

One of their best. Love the vid. 14 year olds maybe.

Phil May....a Fuckin Star ! Thankyou
RIP Phil
this was early 1965 for sure!!!
Was definitely earlier than 1966. Viv Prince is on drums and he was replaced by Skip Alan in November 1965.
Definitely early 1965.
The lyrics on the net do not match the original...although I can't tell what all of them were.
Pretty Things make The Yardbirds sound sick!
Bowie defined this!
memories ,just gteat
I still have their Parachute album on 8 track. (Ask your mum.)
Those were the days! Not live though.

Enorme,toute une époque
et dire que les pretty things se situaient dans la catégorie "rebelle"
aucune agressivité de part et d'autre
65 SUPER GROUPE REBEL THE PRETTY SIXTIES !!!
They were a fun band! Brian Pendleton complete with attached fan! This certainly doesn't sound like a live recording, though.

Artist license on the cutting room floor. Killing floor! Howlin' Wolf
@@maxsno I should have left you, a long time ago.
Vale Phil May. 🙏❤️❤️
GOOD..............................
Viv's behind the drums, so this is not 1966, it's an earlier footage.
neckapb It's obvious that the audio doesn't match video, which is no big deal. Always happy to see new Pretty Things footage.
My dad John Stax on bass
Very seminal....
He's up there with the best
dick taylor lives up the road from me - nice guy - my son worked with his family for a while
Whats he saying in the final chorus? Because it definitely doesn't sound like he's singing "But until I'll settle down, say I'll be your man"
Sounds more like "but until then I says-I-am, say I dig it man don't bring me down"
Also in the recording he says "and then to *him* I will be true" lol.
Fucking Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so sorry I'm 50 too late!
Tak smo plesali tudi v slov. Bistrici ko so igrali Rdeči dečki bino
R I P
Must have been 1964.
Is this where ELO got it from?
That would be a Move root , When Jeff Lynne joined , Message to the Country recordings
Ahead of the game!!!
bowie retooled this one with ronno on pinups but do a far better performance on another of pretty things tunes rosalyn.
True
Not cocaine on the front row being passed to the singer but a girls knickers!
Recording sounds live but doesn't match the video. Vintage wild stuff though.
What a drag Phil had such a stupid reason to die
Apparently the biggest dopers of them all. Later on though...
This has to be the WORST BAND EVER. Viv Prince hit his drum so hard that his drumstick flew out of his hand and into the crowd. My friend picked it up and put it down her blouse. Viv refused to carry on until he got his drumstick back. My friend was not willing to give it back. In the end, he went into the dressing room and got another drumstick --- BIG BABY!!!
Yowsers, and this was supposed to be the man who influenced Keith Moon and was thrown out of the "Hells Angels" for bad behaviour!
He should have spare sticks tucked down the side of the kit somewhere, all drummers carry spares.
Viv is a one-off, no one messes with Viv :)
Worst band ever? NO WAY!
RIP Phil May.
