Kevin Ayers es desconocido por muchisima gente. Al igual que Ollie Hallsall, pero apuesto a que eran envidiados por otros musicos mucho mas reconocidos. Es lo de siempre, gente de culto a los que los otros musicos admiran y el público tan siquiera conoce.
He played on the first album of Soft Machine! All psychedelic rock and progressive rock fans know him. Although I didn’t have the album, I know the lyrics of his lady Rachel by head, only because I heard it so often. Friends played it and it was one of the favorites of my coffee shop. His first solo album, Joy of a Toy, was also wel known.
Yes, this is an excellent video for all the players . Joy to see John on violin, Ollie being very creative, Kevin great choice of songs well done. Same with John's . Love this.
In case anyone wonders, the little guy playing the lead guitar in the last two tracks is the marjorcan guitarist Joan Bibiloni (a.k.a. John B.B. Lonely), who played in Kevin's band in 1980-81. There's a Kevin Ayers album, Deja Vu, which he also co-produced.
Spanish TV never recovered from this kick in the ass. Ángel Casas was unique creating TV shows and programs. Kevin and Ollie in top form despite the despites... in the mood of the 80's. Casas interviewing Kevin. Now both somewhere far from here. Rest in peace Angel. Por cierto, una de esas dos chiquitas que acompañan a Kevin durante la entrevista debe ser su hija Galen junto a su hermana.
Still love the fact that where some US of A rock musicians could hardly converse in their native tongue, ie, American English, Mr. Ayers fields an interview in Spanish.
but to understand it is beautiful, everyone outside countrys with english as a native tongue and like this kinda stuff had to learn. I could tell my spelling is god or bad but i learn english from listening, reading lyrics and singing all toghether. plus all the people you can talk
Really enjoy the quality of all this, sound and image, this show to me is mind blowing, the talent is overflowing and they're as tight as can be, some of the best I've seen.
Ah love the different bits here -- bit ragged first part then the Andy n Ollie sparring - but love Africa @38 mins and the transitions - great to see so much of the man in pink -- its fun - not hi brow -- wish i had been in Spain at this time - would have made it to their mad pissed gigs (me, and probably them ;))
absolutely agree with sandspock- such a brilliant performance love - KA on top of his game supported/ assistance by great friends love them all. Thanks for posting!
Wonderful set! Their onstage interaction (or lack thereof) makes me wonder if Andy Summers and John Cale both remembered the latter's ill-fated attempt to produce a single for The Police in 1976.
Man do they ROCK ! What a pleasure to watch this, thank you Manu.

GREAT AND VERY RARE PERFORMANCE!!! TODAY 71 YEARS AGO when KEVIN AYERS (16 August 1944 - 18 February 2013) was born... Kevin is for me same intersting artist as Syd Barrett!!!
1:52< Still a happy family.........which was to crash in the 90's......... "Stop That Train" was in dire need of a Mike Ratledge distorted keyboard though.....
I was their roadie for a few years , not this band . The band I worked for were Kevin, Andy Summers , later police Zoot Money, Charlie McCracken , rob townsend from Family
The song list is obviously missing STOP THIS TRAIN, at 43:00. What a fun, uptempo, and energetic version! Always great to see the more rocking side of his music.
@Javier Kútulas C´mon that is only very basic spanish not enough to comunicate fluently. You go to England and speak that level of english, nobody would care to speak with you.
I have always thought about it, it probably is some kind of jam or improv they worked out, it sounds so good though. I wish it could be added to an actual song.
To be honest, I would prefer the interview in English. I am a Spaniard native speaker, and I think that while Kevin Ayers understood Spanish language he would speak English to explain his thoughts include those ones about Mike Oldfield.
"I don’t want to say anything bad about Mike Oldfield, I like him a lot, he is like my son, he played with me when he was 17, and I saw something special in him. But I think his time has gone, his career begun and ended with his first record, a very good record."
@@KeepsOnBurning I'm not sure he meant that. That was what Angel Casas made him to say, I think he meant some of the first albums and not only the first one.
I saw them in a try-out in a music club somewhere in Mallorca. I knew the drummer Miquel, who I accidentally ran into two years ago... Still a great drummer, only with less hair now😂..
Well,the interplay between Ollie Halshall and Andy Summers... a dream come true...
Today the town seems like a tomb...
This is one of the best You Tube posts ever.. extremely rare, and excellent quality.
Yes!!!!
Discovered Kevin Ayers today...good end to a shit day.
You have a feast ahead of you....
indeed!

I saw a try-out in a small bar in Mallorca. And met with the drummer Miguel 40years later!

John plays viola. Love this.

Thanks, Jorge. That's exactly what I wanted to know.
Definitely an original Icon....cool to see Andy Summers on some tracks . Great memories and excellent footage, enjoy 😉
It's incredible! I've seen Kevin Ayers giving interviews in 4 different languages at least. And no British accent in any of the idioms.
english, french, spanish and what else?

Anytime rock is alive we are alive too

John Cale on viola. You can´t beat that!
Yes - Kevin fucked Cale's wife ("Guts")
a terrible defect. look at the todd rundgren crap
Cracking little show this. Tight performances from all.
Thanks for sharing this rarity.

From Kevin's grup begins his carrier Mike oldfield. He bass quitar player.
Unique material, great.
This is priceless..what a howl!
Wonderful set! Their onstage interaction (or lack thereof) makes me wonder if Andy Summers and John Cale both remembered the latter's ill-fated attempt to produce a single for The Police in 1976.
Love this,, thanks for sharing.
Man do they ROCK ! What a pleasure to watch this, thank you Manu.
GREAT AND VERY RARE PERFORMANCE!!!
TODAY 71 YEARS AGO
when KEVIN AYERS
(16 August 1944 - 18 February 2013)
was born...
Kevin is for me same intersting artist as Syd Barrett!!!
Great artist, great record, great program!!!!!
Fantastic !!
All are (or were...) great musicians ! Not noises unemployed!
From deep south of France 🥖🍷🧀,
C.&Chelsea the Dog.
🐉🔬🐲
Thank you does not suffice. Talk about found footage. This is from the deepest vault! This is the musicians musicians all-star lineup.
tremendo !!!! ... una mezcla de raíces simplemente genial ..... amigo de Syd Barrett sin duda alguna ....... genial !!!!
1:52< Still a happy family.........which was to crash in the 90's.........
"Stop That Train" was in dire need of a Mike Ratledge distorted keyboard though.....
What a motley bunch of musicians!
I was their roadie for a few years , not this band . The band I worked for were Kevin, Andy Summers , later police Zoot Money, Charlie McCracken , rob townsend from Family
@John Paterson was this an incarnation of The Whole World, or was it later than that?
Menuda Joyaza ésto.....👏👏👏👏👏
John cale est excellent au violon.
Gran Recuerdo
Miguel Figuerola
Merece mínimo una ovación en el Maracaná. Es que las cagó de bueno, en serio.
Great vid. lol, Kev would have got stuck into wonderwoman apres gig. He LoveD women! (and so would I, had I been a star!😎)
thanks for uploading this man!
Hardcore viola abuse from Mr. John Cale begins at 23:12 folks. Genius and insane.
Ah and Suzi Quadro on the piano!
One presumes that Kev and JC had mended their, ahem, "differences" by this point...
Now that could have been an interesting take, if they had both performed Guts together here. 😅
This is great.
Genial Kevin !!!
Un miraculo!!!!!
thanks!!!
Never head of Ollie. Wow!
Talk about underrated players! Ollie's awesome.
totally awesome
John Cale is so.... sinister.
Genial!!!!!
Stop this train with Cale on violin.
Espléndido !
37:55 just a reminder for me in the future hahahahahah
reminiscent of psycho killer by the talking heads ,,,,,,,
Listen to Cale's Leaving It Up To You from his lp Helen Of Troy from 1975. There's the blueprint for Psycho Killer!
The song list is obviously missing STOP THIS TRAIN, at 43:00. What a fun, uptempo, and energetic version! Always great to see the more rocking side of his music.
+Jeff R. Thank You.
kev's spanish was pretty good!
Didn't he live in Spain for many years?
Thats BOWIE on piano!
CRACK GRAN PERE COLOM..............¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Andy Summers of the Police is playing here with this Motley Crew.
me gusta :)
In the end /In the end...the glitzy blonde was outperformed by the pro. It's a viola, not a guitar....
Phil Lynott on bass
ITS ERIC BURDON, IAN HUNTER, PHIL COLLINS, DAVID BOWIE AND PHIL LYNOTT!
did no-one else notice that at the end of his interview he was holding a...
BANANA.
Hey; it's merely banan...amour!
Zanna Gregmar on keyboards?
Passable Spanish from Kev lol.
barely passable, but that's not a problem.
@Javier Kútulas C´mon that is only very basic spanish not enough to comunicate fluently. You go to England and speak that level of english, nobody would care to speak with you.
On the keys,the mother of Courtney Taylor Taylor 😊
Is it me or is the rhodes keyboard mixed way down? course its fighting 3 guitars. :)
how about that andy summers.
i also want to know, what is the intro music? is it just the intro music of the show, or is it from a band? it's pretty rockin'....
I have always thought about it, it probably is some kind of jam or improv they worked out, it sounds so good though. I wish it could be added to an actual song.
Anyone know who the guitarist on last song was? He played a red hollow body and did the little Al Jarreau type scatting...
Joan Bibiloni from Mallorca
Andy Summers ladies and gentlemen
His Spanish is very surprising
25th Anniversary Stratocaster - classic
This is amazing. How do I get a copy of it?
kigonjiro.com/2017/12/12/kevin-ayers-friends-musical-express-with-john-cale-andy-summers-ollie-halsall-zanna-gregmar-1981/
Who is the guitarist doing scat in the last number?
Craig Madden Joan Bibiloni , Manacor (Mallorca), 1952
Yes. Will Ferrell on drums. Sorry Mark. No offence meant but I only came here to see Ollie
hey just wondering if you had anywhere to download this from? cheers
Vearus08 I sent to you a PM.
Thankyou!
+Manu Guinarte i sure could use a pm too!
ditto...!
Andy experimentando ...
He said bullshit on Mike Oldfield good era, seventies albums.
To be honest, I would prefer the interview in English. I am a Spaniard native speaker, and I think that while Kevin Ayers understood Spanish language he would speak English to explain his thoughts include those ones about Mike Oldfield.
super super super
Wait,is that Chad Smith or Will Ferrell on drums?
What does he say about Mike Oldfield?
Musicians who has worked with Kevin, with a success solo career.
Yes. But what does he say about Mike specifically?
"I don’t want to say anything bad about Mike Oldfield, I like him a lot, he is like my son, he played with me when he was 17, and I saw something special in him. But I think his time has gone, his career begun and ended with his first record, a very good record."
He was so wrong.
@@KeepsOnBurning I'm not sure he meant that. That was what Angel Casas made him to say, I think he meant some of the first albums and not only the first one.
He speaks English, Spanish and French?!?!
@Bryan ...and Malay.
He's A Linguist.
Love the part where Ollie challenges Andy
3 down thumbs? are you mad (or deaf) (or both)
Why Kevin Ayers spoke spanish so fluently?
He lived in Deià, Mallorca for many Sears
Years
I saw them in a try-out in a music club somewhere in Mallorca. I knew the drummer Miquel, who I accidentally ran into two years ago... Still a great drummer, only with less hair now😂..
