What about the band WAR? They had a hit album in 1975
And how about Chicago, the pioneers of "jazz rock"?
Just came across your video today about ‘70’s rock. That David Gilmour sure was the CUTEST & still very handsome, but that’s not why I decided to leave a comment. Skynyrd’s Freebird never gets old, EVER! Neil Young is a Canadian, how dare he say or sing anything about the States when the First Nations people of Canada were being horribly mistreated even murdered from those in authority to catholic church leaders & many others in between. Thanks to the good people of Canada who helped the beautiful First Nations people. Buffy Sainte Marie is a famous ‘60’s folk singer, she is one of many talented indigenous from Canada.
not sure what record you refer to, but 'the World is a ghetto' always will stand out in my mind.
@@williamlangan5902 anything from the early-mid '70's by CHICAGO was great. after Kath died ,well, it wasn't the same.
This guy teached me more music history than any of my history/Music teachers
Glad to hear my friend!
Don`t believe every word.Hendrix and Jones were killed and took no overdose.Hendrix had lots of wine in the lungs and not much in the stomach.
You need a good English teach too.
Just rewatching this and, wow, your dad was hilarious! Always stole the show in these videos. Rest in peace
*Peace
Dark Side of the Moon is classical music of the future.
Thank you! I t had to be said.........
How more correct can a human be
Amen to that
I doubt it. I predict your great grandkids will have even heard of it.
@@markstuber4731 I don't think it'll be forgotten any time soon
I never clicked this fast in my life. JTCurtis I have huge love for you man. Keep making these videos

The 70s is by far the best era for Rock and Roll, the amount of brilliant songs is endless
Rock n roll ended in the 70s. I am an 80s kid, we were only spin offs but that s how it evolved and it s okay.
I was looking for an in depth documentary on 70' music and was surprised that there wasn't much offered. As the years pass, it becomes more and more obvious what an important time this was for popular music. Then I came upon this doc and gave it a shot. I couldn't have asked for more. It including everything I was looking for, and covered the groups and events in an intelligent and well articulated manner. The comic relief was welcome as well. I'll be watching it again and checking out more of your videos. And by the way, I lived through the decade and remember it well. You did it justice.
Thank you so much!

One thing I'm learning with this series is how young these iconic musicians/Rockers were. So young as so influential.
JT - Your series was nothing short of freakin’ excellent! Loved the humor and you guys showcased your talents in a really tasteful way! Binged right through the series and I’m gonna watch it again!
History of Rock is a challenging subject and you guys really did it justice!!
Thank you Patrick! It is indeed a lot of research to get through, but I enjoy it, and we have a lot of fun with our silly humor.
I enjoyed this 1970's rock documentary. Classic rock was everywhere and it enjoyed it all. I bought hundreds of LPs and cassettes and still have them all. Long live rock and roll.
Gotta be up early tomorrow, it's 12:30 but this is more important than sleep
god there's so many JoJo stands named from this decade holy shit...
great video man. can't wait for the next one in a year or two.
What's a Jojo Stand?
@@jessiehermit9503 Stands are a type of superpower that originates from the popular Japanese Manga and Anime series, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
@@jessiehermit9503 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a manga/anime series. The author of the manga was a huge fan of Western culture and named many characters/stands after the music
absolutely wicked videos, have recommended them to my dad. I've always wanted someone to just do me a timeline about the evolution of rock music because even though I'm fully aware of everything you're talking about and all the bands, I'm just too lazy to imagine it all for myself, so thank you
We just watched this one in music class. We’re probably gonna watch your 80s one next class
I just discovered this video today while searching for some classic rock escapism to help. I can't thank you enough for making this series and Making me the happiest I've been all week. ❤️
My god how does such a well made video get so few views? Amaaaazing work man, keep it up!!!
Spread the word bro!
Over 100k!
THANK YOU NOTIFICATION! I'm loving your videos Curtis and have been pumped for this installment of your history of rock and roll series.
Major effort was put into this, a very educational video. Thank you so much for sharing your love for music with us.
I really appreciate you dude. These videos must have taken a tremendous amount of work, but they came out really great.
Hi JT
Thanks for bringing this 👍.
Maybe the fact that my first 3 Albums, bought for money I earned from my news paper route:
Deep Purple "In Rock".
Black Sabbath "Paranoid".
Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin II"
Will tell you more about me than anything else - a lot of us are missing the 1970s music culture.
I'm so glad to have experienced a part of the journey in this decade.
☮️❤️🎸
A damn good trio of records as your first purchase!
How could you not mention Genesis and Rush! There’s just so much damn good music in that decade. Love your videos man! Keep up the good work.
Jorge Guarda well Rush is coming in the 80s 😉 and I’m now starting to kick myself in the pants for not including LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY but we’ll possibly make an extras video.
JTCurtisMusic well, I guess you could argue that their most popular work is Moving Pictures (love Roll the bones too) and that is 80s...but that’s like saying Yes is also 80s because of 90125 and Big Generator...not to mention Genesis...but I forgive you ;) Looking forward to your future videos. Cheers!
Not necessarily. If you go on itunes, Yes' most downloaded song is "Roundabout" which came out in the 70s. Rush's most downloaded song is "Tom Sawyer" which came in the 80s.
JTCurtisMusic I was thinking more in terms of commercial success, but I guess you’re right, and it depends how you measure that.
King crimson too!
I'm in love with these videos. It's like if AVGN made a music documentary. Amazing!
An enormous compliment thank you :)
What is AVGN?
@@bluecollarlit angry video game nerd, it’s another series on RUclips
@@randomgeekstuff7078 thank you for the info. (When I first saw this comment, I thought someone was calling me an "angry video game nerd" - LOL)
You're invited to read my blog.
No ads, I don't make money from it. Just light entertainment and information.
Blue Collar Lit.
That was brilliant! Well worth the wait, you guys smashed it. Top stuff
Wow! I've waited a long time to see this, and it's SOOOOOO worth the wait. Hello from the frozen North of Scotland. xx
Thank God he mentioned the Ramones, I was getting scared.
LOL, you really think I'd go through the 70s without talking about The Ramones?
I knew it was coming.... I was waiting patiently for the Ramones, The Sex Pistols and the Clash. Well done JT. I have been showing your videos, starting at the 1950's in my high school Humanities class. Thank goodness they are all seniors, the drug references required some disclaimers before viewing....haha.
@@nickklein8163 speaking of JT, how about a second for Johnny Thunders (and The Heartbreakers) inspired both The Ramones and Sex Pistols. Just saying...cool he mentioned The Dolls though
This is such a good video, like a music-oriented avgn, thank you for all your work on this.
Being compared to AVGN is an enormous compliment!
Hall&Oats not here?
What an amazing series/channel I’ve stumbled upon. Been bingeing your rock history, album reviews, and playlist videos. The history video are a perfect balance of education and humor with a lot of great old clips edited in throughout. Thanks for your effort and your dedication to the rock gods. Also I’m aware this is years after but very sorry to hear about your dad(assuming Jay is your dad) he was always funny in the videos and clearly taught you well!! Thanks again for all your content :)
Thank you. Yes Jay was my father and a very big reason this series exists.
I’m taking the history of rock n roll in college and your videos help me so much!!! Thankyou for covering these topics!
Thank you!
I LOVE THESE! Thank you for making music history interesting and fun for the young ones tryna learn🤩
They should mention the Village People 😄
This video was awesome to watch didnt realise an hour was passed. Really loved this video, thanks once again ☺️
Best videos i could find on evolution on rock !!! Keep up the work man waiting for more.
Thank you for the putting the time into this video. It really gave me a good main road to search some side streets. I’ve been a music lover all my life but just never really studied the 60’s and 70’s. It’s amazing how much good stuff you find that you never heard when you start to dig. To put it nicely, if they quit production of cars... An AMC Javelin would become new again. Loved the Lebowski quote!!!! Check out Linda Ronstadt willin live 1976
I love your videos. Can’t wait to see your 80’s video.
I've been listening to your R & R vids, and it's been entertaining, and all right on where you've put emphasis
Glad you showed footage from the 1977 Hollywood Bowl Lynard Skynard show. That rendition of Free Bird is my favorite video of all time of any genre.
Dudes, this is a great series! I'm entertained and educated and reminded of great songs that I'd forgotten about or never even heard of:))))
Zeppelin for life, though haha. To be fair it helps that I'm only 17 so didn't have to deal with the Zeppelin radio oversaturation.
Anyway great job tho. I was sent here by TJ Skyen and am not sorry. Keep it up!
Great video but you can't forget iconic rock legends AC/DC who had heavy blues inspired riffs and solos from Angus Young and really put Australia on the map
This is true, but we are saving them as they happen to have a very iconic album that came out in 1980...
Australia now have "Taj Farrant"
A Scottish band put Australia on the map
That was an amazing video. Especially that you mentioned Knife Edge, Thick as a Brick and Maggot Brain. Also it was so funny. Keep it up!
Excellent work ,probably my favourite of your decade shows .Yeah the music is great but I think this is the one where you get the humour blended in just right...Oh,and i'm very jealous of your musical talent.
Stairway to heaven gives me such good memories 😌
Definitely my favorite decade of music.
So, the 80s video needs to come out this weekend so I can use it as reference for my History of Rock class that I start teaching next week! These are great!!
Loved this video. Gonna add all kinds of 70s music to my phone
LOVE the presentation and humor dude! I'm only 23 but I think the 70s had some of the best ever music! Your Zeppelin guy is exactly how I react to Genesis
The seventies will always be my favourite decade. Most of my favourite albums were from the seventies. I just think that it is an amazing decade.
HOOOOOOOOW Did they forget RAM JAMS BLACK BETTY FROM 1977 , And HOLD THE LINE By TOTO FROM 1978 HOOOOOOOOOW LOL
BRO THE LAYLA RIFF IS AMAZING AND YOU PLAYED IT WAS VERY AMAZING
FREE BIRD!!!!
Best History of Rock series on the internet
Say, J.T., I've heard it said that punk came around because some just wanted to make some fun music that anyone could learn to play, reaching back to the old 12 or 16-bar three-chord rock of the '50s. Of course, with modern pick-ups, amps, and tech, it made it what it was. That was what I was told. I was hoping you could support or debunk that for me and help me clarify that in my head.
I love the production values on these videos. I especially love the way JT pronounces "Quinten-sential"
Well 'guitarmonies' has just become the latest addition to my vocabulary.
It's genius and it waa right there in front of me all this time yet I didn't see it.
Bravo sir!
Dude I love your videos and your editing is amazing
I wasn't expecting the Goodfellas reference. Was not disappointed.
This is a masterpiece!
Awesome videos! One of my teachers is showing us these videos in Music Appreciation class! Keep making more!
Thanks for all rock and roll videos!!!
Great video man! You rocked it again but, You forgot to mention ELO and Boston. Thanks for video again! See you soon! 😁
Francisco Torres 37:55 you’ll hear Boston doing “More than a Feeling,” but yes, sadly ELO was cut out. We’ll have to add them for a possible extras video.
JTCurtisMusic thanks man!
thanks for getting me through my History of Rock final exam. BLESS YOU
More videos...make more videos! This is great content. totally digging it man!
I like how passionate you are about the music. It makes me more passionate about music too. It's contagious.
I love how you include the solo Beatles at the very end. Great job with the videos!
Insane how work like this doesnt have more than a million views
Spread the word!
@@JTCurtisMusicwill do JT
Can you tubers hire technical experts to manipulate the algorithm so that their videos will come to the attention of more people?
I wonder about this sometimes.
Love your work. Looks like you will be my first patron subscription.
Thank you for making this video!
Ok. Hear me out on this. The absolute best song pairing is ... Layla ... fading in to Even In The Quietest Moments. Some nighttime DJ did this and I managed to capture it on a cassette tape. It became my "reset mix". Layla winds you up, and then EITQM relaxes the hell out of you. The crossfade this guy did between the two was brilliant. It wasn't just "this ends, this begins". But if that's all you can get, it still works. Not a pairing most people would think of, but a great stress reliever. Give it a try.
No Cary on way word son Kanas ,,Or more than a Feeling By Boston WOOOOOW
70’s was THE BEST music decade !!!!
Thank you for doing this man.
Man! I really enjoyed this! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you! I’m a huge fan now! Everything about this was just dope!
Hey JT! Love your videos so much. Can we get an update on when in 2019 we should expect the 80s video?
If everything goes according to plan, we may just get a December release this year!
Thanks JT! Can’t wait!!
I grew up in the 70's. You look too young to remember it, but this was a very accurate summary. There were a few bands that got tons of airplay back then that you didn't include, but I mostly didn't like them because they were horribly overplayed (then, and now on classic rock stations), so I'm OK with that.
Really good video, very well researched, glad I found this
You forgot to put Styx, and ted nugent on here though
Keep doing a good job man. You're awesome
For a youngster, I was pretty impressed with your choices, (with a few corrections.) The quintessential progressive rock album was "In the Court of the Crimson King," (1969), by King Crimson. NOT "Dark Side." Between 1969 and 1975 King Crimson put out the most incredible albums of the decade. You might not know this, but a lot of King Crimson's work was recorded live on stage! They had the balls to get up in front of thousands of people and do total improvisations! And, If you going to highlight John Bonham, why not highlight Bill Bruford, the original drummer for Yes, who left Yes to play with King Crimson. He then went on to form U.K., tour with Genesis, then start his own band with English guitar wizard Alan Holdsworth. How's that for a resume? Please more of a Hurrah! for Joan Jett. She wasn't the first woman to strap on an electric guitar, (Sister Rossetta Sharpe), but she was the first to do it with attitude. I've been playing the drums for over 50 years and the saxophone for 30. I was 15 in 1970. How old were you? You forget The Faces, and you forgot The Band, the original roots rock band. I'm glad you didn't mention Rush, I don't like them. The saxophone and rock have a long history, I'd like to see a video on that. The last bands to use saxophone were The E Street Band, Huey Lewis and the News, Pink Floyd, and Supertramp. It's time to bring it back.
You should check out History of Rock 50s if you wanna hear more about how the saxophone was incorporated at the birth of rock and roll.
I mentioned The Band in the 60s video.
I'm just at the Led Zeppelin part. The hardest part for JT must've been to keep a straight face. Yeah, the beginning is gloomy, the loss of Jimi, Janis and Jim and the Kent State shootings.
Update: I liked the Queen part. Your beautiful neighbor is good on the keyboards!
Update #2: The only thing missing was Chicago, the pioneers of "jazz rock."
Superb work JTCurtis!!!!
this is awesome!!!! love your channel!!! you should have a million subscribers!!!!!
I'm really enjoying the series so far. Awesome presentation on the 70s, although I was hoping for some ELO. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the 80s presentation (maybe some Traveling Wilburys, Def Leppard and [I know it's not really rock and roll but] Whitney Houston would be great additions)
i love all that music these people had real talent
Thanks🙏🙇 for the upload. Rock hard.....
15:33 "could sometimes be a little out of place given the blues sound". That was the point and what makes it so cool.
Might be worth changing the video category to "Education" to protect you a little bit. I just came form another video where you talk about a strike on the 1980's video.
Even though this is 1 hour long, feels bit short. Not because its a bad video by any means, just because there was so MUCH incredibly music in the 70s. And that girl is hot.
That's Emily Seibert (who I work with in the HISTORY OF ROCK live show). She was a great help both on camera and behind the camera. Hopefully you'll see her again in the next episode.
I really enjoyed your tongue in cheek way of paying your respects to the Disco era. Lol. For all its best or worst, it still existed.
Great Job, thanks !
Oh...my...God! I am old enough to remember that sequence with Stevie Wonder doing that rendition of "Superstition" on Sesame Street when it happened! Ugh...I feel old! (IMHO, best live version of that I've ever heard by him...but there could be others of which I am not aware...)
My take away from the history of the 1970s: INCONCIEVABLE!
You did amazoht job putting this series together 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
*amazing
I totally enjoyed your presentation. It was not only on target and captivating, but it was really funny and entertaining at the same time. I did notice even in the Extras segment that you forgot a couple of important groups: the band Chicago was a '70s staple and a phenomenal group, and their musical arrangements incorporating horns into a rock groove were practically unique (Blood Sweat and Tears were the original innovators of this style). Another overlooked popular prog group was Supertramp. By the time they released "Breakfast in America," the band, with their excellent hits, were a household name. Also, somehow you forgot to mention the Talking Heads. I wasn't personally a huge new wave fan, but I totally loved Talking Heads, especially their 70's albums like "More Songs about Buildings and Food"- they were so cool! While we're on "kitchy" and "wavy," the B-52's could have been mentioned, as they were a hoot and extremely popular. Also, a correction on Led Zeppelin- the opening clip of the live Zep footage had a caption that indicated it was from 1971, but it was in fact from the film, "The Song Remains the Same," which was shot during the 1973 tour. Again, a phenomenal job, and I look forward to checking out more of your videos!
*YES!!!*
Now I've watched and kudos to you JT, you've certainly nailed the 70's. I did miss T.Rex with Marc Bolan, who was the one who invented glam rock. On his song "Bang a Gong" ( Get it on) Elton John played piano on the record, his performance can still be seen on RUclips , he got paired the princely sum of £9 , not too much then but even less now!
His best friend David Bowie, took over the financing of Marc's young son when he was killed in a car crash. All his finances were tied up by a company in the Bahamas who wouldn't provide for Rolan, because he was illegitimate. There are many more in the music industry wonder where their money went, but David Bowie made sure he and his mum wanted for nothing.
Marc also had a another friend Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel "Come up and See Me" (make me smile) who also brought quite a bit to the table in this era.
My favourite Jon Lord from Deep Purple's quote was about where Richie Blackmore went with his guitar that "his Hammond had to toughen up to follow"!
On the subject of ELP, Greg Lake said in his biography what he learned from the man that taught him and Robert Fripp of King Crimson guitar was "For every 4 songs you play to the audience, then you can play 1 for yourself"... great Biography to read.
The only group missing is Genesis with Peter Gabriel...... Supper's Ready... a masterpiece in 7 parts and "I know what I like" (in your wardrobe).
JT it was wonderful to see how you fitted your Dad into the of History of Rock the 70's. a great tribute.
Lin Joy yes “Bang a Gong” sadly was cut, great song though. To be added for an extras video.
Elton John didn’t play on TRex’ recording Bang a Gong, Rick Wakeman did. There is a video where Elton John is playing but that was mimed.
@@countessratzass5408 Elton John played on the TOTP's (Top of The Pop's) a 30 minute TV music programme on BBC TV in the UK. Elton got paid £9 for miming "Bang a Gong"
This series is really fun! I saved 70s for last, my favourite decade for rock.
Excellent video.. really enjoyed it.. thanx
You played Bad Company but the band before them with many hits and with a superior sound and more credibility was Free - both of those bands featured possibly the best vocalist in that style Paul Rogers.
he was among the best rock vocalists of all time. I also enjoyed the FIRM .'RADIOACTIVE' w/ Jimmy Page.
You guys did a great f'ing job on this one! My teenage years. Zeppelin and Sabbath and ...! 70's was a great decade for rock. And totally agree on the puke factor of "Stairway". Billions and billions sold on that one. EDIT : C'mon man, "Disco Inferno" transformation had me on the floor!!!
Amazing video with lot research.This is incredbly interesting
Thank you! Fortunately I already knew a lot of this, but I did have to research heavily on other bands / albums / stories.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
Loved the video, but where is Chicago in all of this?
Yes Terry kath
Electra glide in blue

"Robert Blake" Remember folks guns are ALWAYS loaded.
A Chistmas story, Ralphie "You'll shoot your eye out".
Terry shot himself by accident.
I loved the "Afternoon Delight" comment when you dealt with, "Why didn't you include..." Ugh... That song is horrid, and it went to #1? Yikes! In fact, my memory from my youth in that time, (I was born in1969,) is fuzzy, but I believe Starlight Vocal Band actually had a short-lived variety show, and all because of that one song. I can think of no others that they did, nor do I want to!
Perfect! Bravo!
Awesome! Superb! Brilliant! I could go on!
