      The young folks I see who make positive comments about great music of any era give me hope! Many of them don't like the commercialized crap that today's music industry pushes on them, and they are discovering music from the past to love, sometimes it's music even older than me!
      Recently, I had a delightful "conversation" with a 15 year old high school student in the comment section on a video of Sarah Vaughan, filmed in Europe in the 1950s. She went into details about Sarah's talent and why she's considered to have one of the best voices ever recorded.
      That "child" knew what she was talking about, and I told her I'd be so proud to have a granddaughter like her.

That has nothing to do with his drumming skills when playing live. One look at the series of Musikladen videos in Nov of 74 will tell you what a fantastic drummer he was!

    I have never seen anything like this. Whenever something is portrayed as "the 70s", it is just shown as little things. This video is crazy because it shows what it actually was like at that time as opposed to just people wearing bell-bottoms and colorful clothing. This video feels like a time machine.
    Everyone seems so happy and energetic.

      Totally agree - it was a fabulous time - everyone naturally moving and not trying to show off dancing like a stripper - genuinely enjoying it.

      There are lot's of seventies videos on RUclips.
      Soul Train and American Bandstand videos.
      And concert videos like Midnight Special and Don Kirchner's Rock Concert.
      Also late night TV shows like Tomorrow with Tom Snyder and others.
      Then you also have British shows like Top of the Pops and German shows like this one.
      Tons of great stuff if you just look for it.

      That looks like so much fun. This is one of the pinnacles of rock n' Roll. It's uplifting that individuals in the seventies, when economic turmoil was so low, grey indistinct hardship form every turn and government followed the trend. How this short of music and culture has outlasted our fear, forever. Why do we make our life's so complicated?

      Mick Tucker was a legit drummer and never really got the recognition he deserved. This isn't even his best "performance" since they were just pantomiming to playback here. But if you get a chance to see him really play, he's badass.
