Another fantastic British band that Americans are largely unaware of. Roger Chapman was such a unique, soulful and powerful singer. The only one who could effectively cover Howlin' Wolf and actually add something. Chills.
Best live band ever. Saw them many times including the recording of the live side of Anyway. I first saw them at Corby Grammar School Friday-night dance Spring or Summer term 1967 or 1968 iirc (they appeared on BBC ToTP, or maybe BBC2 OGWT, later that same year or next). Leicester band Broodly Hoo had been booked to play. Rob Townsend had been their drummer and the agency who represented Broodly Hoo was part-owned by 'Charlie' Whitney. Only after seeing them on BBC TV did we realise the weird (and brilliant) band that knocked our socks off that night was actually Family. Still my most memorable gig. I walked Kath McGuiness home that night.
That's incredible voice, I have never seen the family, but i saw Street Walkers 1975 in copenhagen as a varmup band before black Sabbath 😎 they wear awesome
Seven excellent albums and a handful of fine "loose" songs. Many hated his sound, but Chappo is in my top 5 of greatest rock voices. I only saw/heard Family live at the Rotterdam Festival June 1970. I had just bought the Song For Me album. And their best had yet to come... Streetwalkers didn't quite do it for me.
Hayaye!!!!! saw them in the Marquee in '67! terrific and greaaaaat!!!! those were the days; Chappo is fantastic, so is King's playing; a gem. somewhere lies the entire footage: i wish it will eventually come out some day.
Hmmm the evil one in its many apparitions primarily in female form I let wreck my life for many years...I love Family in all its incarnations...nothing but the one true one in this bums life🤙🤘👊
May I say Led Zeppelin took some sound from those guys? Man, I don't know for you, but I hear "How many more times" there. If you listen to Family's "Old songs, new songs", Chappo's voice sounds like the 70's Robert Plant's voice. I didn't know that band since a week ago... a good discovery I must say.
I like them since the 60thies! Is there any video of "Second Generation Woman" and "How He The Lie", "My Friend The Sun"? What about song books? Is tehre any?

UNIQUE VOICE and SOUND !!!FAMILY FOREVER 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌👊👊👊👊👏g
Chappo is on top form here. Family doing the blues. Who could ask for more?
Absolutely mind blowing! The old bluesman are proud of this version!😮
Chappo has the most unique voice I've ever heard
Unique voice no one like him then or now.
Sounds like a literal sheep
@@thebannanaslugs2300Awesome right?

Chappo is the Soul of England an uncrowned king
The fantastic Family.. got to see them quite a few times.
Hipnotic.Terrific voice and sound.That Chappo.
The filthiest 1 bar groove and the nastiest voice. Some bands like to brag how primal they are. This kicks their ass 50+ years in the past
never seen this ,...........fantastic find , thanks for uploading made my well ....year really .
I listened to the Fleetwood Mac version of this like a 1000 times.
Fucking amazing
speechless...

whoah!!! goatboy.. get bahhhhhckkk
Baaaa humbug !😂
they were great at the rambling man festival last year
Awesome!
Part of the load, old songs new songs, great songs.
Kind of an avant garde take on the blues. Reminds me a lot of early Can for some reason.
Specifically `Mother Upduff' from `Can's Unlimited Edition I think ?
This is mind blowing, sometimes You Tube is amazing, many thanks for posting 🎉🎉 Now we know where Johnny Rotten got his ideas from lol😅
Lennon said they were the best band in Britain.
Just a thought the beat is very beefheart like!
Et dire que je découvre vraiment ce très très bon groupe,et la voix qui leur convient💐💐💐💐💐🙋
incredible!...I saw them around this time in one of the free concerts held in the London parks.....St James maybe
Hyde Park...
Excellent
Brilliant

Grandios . Sie beherrschten alle Style.

The greatest psychedelic rock voice ever, listen to that voice man! Chappo is the greatest...

How many times is basically a cover of this
@@thedrugstorecowboy2948 This was years before Zeppelin .
Check Howlin' Wolf's original.
Also powerful and mind blowing.
Roger Chapman and the lads do it justice I must say.
wow
I like them since the 60thies! Is there any video of "Second Generation Woman" and "How He The Lie", "My Friend The Sun"? What about song books? Is tehre any?
And this didn't make it into any album? My god what a sin!
