THE MOVE - Night Of Fear

[britfrenir]

It says there is an error. This happened the last time I tried to watch this too which was last week.

[supersondessixties]

[hobonotabum]

so many great bands from the 60s so little time to listen to them all so many memories of great times gone good friends gone

[mealys]

Brilliant group

[SteveCaftdunt]

Whatever happened to Ace Kefford ???

[mealys]

Brilliant

[mealys]

Brilliant group

[maida1982a]

4 great voices- that's 4 in 1 group-sensational.

[mealys]

Brilliant

[harfarhs]

@bigerrickenbacker - I thought RW left ELO after one album.. that's what the sleevenotes say on the Harvest LP compilation of early ELO, anyway..

[seventiesclassic]

It would have been a better tribute if you'd got the video and the sound in sync !!

[actron]

The video doesn't always synch up with the sound after you upload it youtube.

[ngobleus]

More like 1 and two-fifths albums (Roy only plays on two tracks on the 2nd album).

[robertpercyhouse]

Chris "Ace" Kefford, on bass guitar

[Omenuiwf]

I always thought Trevor Burton was the bass player?

[Krzyszczynski]

Not to begin with - he switched to bass after Ace left in '68.

[robertpercyhouse]

thanks for posting this and other rare footage of a band that i loved The Move were one of those bands like the who and the Hollies defined the Mod trend in music besides The Beatles and Stones Troggs Small Faces all great its a pity that we have lost many of these bands to history so its great that you have shared this.

[master747100]

yeah,who is the bass guitarist??

[46664arcticTC]

Who could know that Carl Wayne was vocalist in Hollies 2000 - 2004. He has a wonderful voice. RIP Carl Wayne.

[wiredtojupiter]

oh i didnt know Carl was gone...:(

[acherrysherry]

wonderful! picked up best of the move in a discount bin 15 yrs ago because i remembered hearing this song reviewed on the dick clark show back in the 60s and never forgot it with that one listen- get the Best of the Move and you will be impressed- oh and The Move who found much greater popularity in Britain than the states are considered to have later evolved into ELO via Jeff Lynne!

[OTISJUDE]

Thanx for posting this! it's excellant.

Ace Kefford had a fantastic voice and Carl

Wayne just ozzes Cool!!!!

[dofane]

I don't like that bass sound ...actually I don't really like this at all, it was put on my account as 'Recommended'...but some like it and that's good

[ngobleus]

I liked it, it's actually audible compared to the studio version of the song (at least, on my CD).

[ducati900fe081]

OK to settle Beatles comparisons, how aboout admit that the scrounging for the most insignificant Beatles outtakes is pathetic when bands like the Move are ignored?

[pnnews90]

wow couldn't of said it better myself, there's TONS of bands from the 60s that get ignored for the mainstream acts and it's sad.

[LesterStone]

I'm a beatle fan but I agree with that.

[Efrasnel]

Dare I say it? Yes! Better than the Beatles...

[laurielor]

Don't be silly.

[zivusomer]

Dont exaggerate

They're good

[sapphiretaurus]

What's the need to compare bands? They were all good, with their own unique talents.

[kooodeal]

Maybe as good as The Dave Clark Five,but not in league of Beatles

[harfarhs]

Much, much better than the DC5..

[gilgamess]

Flip the record over and listen to Disturbance, now there's a weird song.  Nice to see performance footage of this band.

[chautaugua]

Just about the coolest band out in those days, well, still are in my opinion, Chris Kefford facinates me, he has prescence as does Carl Wayne of course....happy days. Julian

[plague71]

A great song from a great 60s band. I saw the late and great Carl Wayne sing with the Hollies in Belfast a few years ago. A legendry vocalist!

[Keijz74]

I like this song, like all their songs.

[MusicDude86]

I agree

[racine09]

Great campy rehash of the 1812

[harrystirples]

I heard this on radio 2 and thought it was O.K. on YouTubing it I dialed in totally outstanding song Late sixties Britain music so cool . The music and bikes ruled . thanks for posting . john

[brigader4heart]

a great live band!,where did carl wayne,trevor burton & ace kefford go to when roy wood and bev bevan joined elo?.

did bev and roy ever play in gerry levene & the avengers?.

[campyoldie]

Carl Wayne went to manage a club called Rebeccas(sp) in Brum - I played there when he was the bloke to speak to about gigs. Now sadly passed away I think.

Chris "Ace" Kefford formed the Ace Kefford Stand Kefford. They still play around the Midlands(I think) and are/were sh**t hot as you would expect of such a good musician.. Dont think Bev or Roy played with Gerry Levene. I only remember Bev with Carl Wayne and the Vikings. Roy Wood played with Mike Sheridan and the Night riders.

[FinnMove]

Funny that Roy Wood hadn´t written

before this anything remarkble.

But now this on apperead a good pop- song to the end of the Move in 1972.

[ucanplay2]

great song, classic!

[FinnMove]

I like this for a change.

In the beginning the members were equal.

Before it became a Roy Wood band.

[mcrenshaw]

Nobody will ever beat this...

[trueconspiracies]

Boy, but this brings back some great memories!

[harrystirples]

fantastic record needed a few plays to appreciate superb brummy band

[KeithTheKing]

I love this! Thank you for posting!!!!!

[anniething1]

If i could get the same drugs as them Id probably be happy too

[daveaw69]

Come and talk to me Annie !

[anniething1]

I meant I love this so much thank you for posting luv ya dont panic

[anniething1]

wow man

[britfrenir]

I did not know that every one in the group would be clean shaven. I was used to see who they looked in The Electric Light Ochrastra. It looked like ELO wanted to looking like men from an earlier century including the hair and their faces.

[MattHatter]

Well the only ones in this video who went onto ELO is Bev Bevan on drums and Roy Wood, third in from the left. In 1970, lead vocalist Carl Wayne left and that's when Jeff Lynne replaced him, thus creating the nucleus of ELO.

[dawkeye1]

What I find amazing about The Move here is the showmanship of the band in general. Other groups should learn from this, all four performers in a line, stepping back and forth giving each member a highlight in the performance. All very talented but different in their way. It makes for a great show, The Beatles did the same, every song features talent from the different members behind great songwriting, with charisma. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin based their stage act and music on this group.

[MattHatter]

Isn't it true daekeye1?! I went and saw Editors with my best friend at The House Of Blues out here in Anaheim, CA and lead vocalist Tom Smith took the spotlight the entire show while his bandmates were literally IN THE SHADOWS! I mean they were totally faceless! Band members don't have any BALLS anymore like we see here with The Move. The guitar player wanting to do what he wants, etc. That creative energy made the bands of the '60s so good, but also broke them apart!

[dawkeye1]

I have an exclusive demo CD by Ace Kefford recorded in 2007, It is really good!

[martinian42]

post a few of the tracks let us all have a listen ..please

[cowpigs99]

this is one of those rare times when the live version is better then the single

[Deeperpurple1952]

Even tho' Carl is fluffing the high notes ?

[cowpigs99]

yes there is more feeling in this version.

[Deeperpurple1952]

Yes I'd agree with that....as with most songs, it sounds better Live...but you can hear Carl is struggling with his top range.

[cowpigs99]

actually most live songs are bad,every once in a while there are good live songs.

[Keijz74]

Makes me want to hear the single. I just got to know the song!

[Scott06066]

This is a great song!

[artoisdude]

Saw them in Bradford in the late 60s - fabulous and very underrated. Think Carl had a touch of laryngitis at the time of this vid as he did have a good voice. Last saw him at the Stables in Milton Keynes in 2003 when he was singing with the Hollies - he looked really well and was in great form but a little more than a year later (31/8/2004) he was dead. RIP Carl Wayne, sadly missed.

[hipmatize]

ahem.. some of these guys were in a backing band for denny laine pre_moody blues era. Denny laine also put out some singles on the same label...

[acherrysherry]

one day in 66 or '67 I heard this tune played as a "spotlight" song Dick Clark played on his show which then got rated by the kids. It received NO airplay in Seattle. A haunting melody and distinct style- I didn't hear the song or band until about 1990 when I found "Best of the Move" in a reject cd bin and promptly scooped up my prize, demonstrating some ELO roots. Great to see it here, thanks! Buy the cd if you can- worth it!

[mikejaz2]

If I'm not mistaken, this was the one single that WLS (890 on your dial, Chicago) actually played a couple of times...unless someone nicked that middle piece and put it in another song!

[mikejaz2]

What surprises me is what a democratic band they were. Everyone sings (and really well, given the abysmal monitorng electronics of the day), Ace Kefford gets the little lead jangle (of course, you may ask why the camerman couldn't tilt UP to see Ace's face, at least once during the broadcast...as an editor, I'm just amazed how lame older TV can be...), Trevor sings the "just about to flip your mind" piece...tres cool.

[Burqua12]

A "the Move" video without Roy Wood?

Hm...unthinkable.¨

I suppose he was standing to the left of singer Carl Wayne.

Anyone knows?

[truethought62]

He was standing to the left of Carl in this vid--and was singing the falsetto highs in this song--Roy was there, definitely! Ace is singing the "flip your mind" part and playing bass--Trevor is playing guitar on the other end and adding harmonies, that was it.

[Scott06066]

Sadly, an unappreciated key to the initial British invasion! 995 of 1000 Americans have never heard of them. I wonder how many Brits have? And they had the foresight to acquire Jeff Lynne from Idle Race... and the rest, as they say, is history! Roy, Jeff, and Bev went on to form Electric Light Orchestra whom John Lennon dubbed as "a son of Beatles"...

[erwinruys]

This is music not that american shit from today. The move was one of the best english bands

[ketiep]

If not the greatest band ever!

[DBD34GS]

Thank God somebody knows that this is an English band. The drummers name is Bev Bevan, and he went on with Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood when they became E.L.O.

[cbalducc]

The Move were from Birmingham, England. Fleetwood Mac started as a British blues band.

God bless.

[wgoco]

These guys were one of best early california bands followed by Fleetwood Mac where you can see how the Move drummer influenced the drummer in that band, whose name I forget.

[frogeyedsprite1]

I bet no one can find a clip of The Move doing the flip side of Night of Fear which was Disturbance.

Get back to me if you find one please :-) It has sentimental value of such as our "Disco" was named after the track.

[Deeperpurple1952]

I found Disturbance, it's on the flip side of my Night of Fear 45 :-)

No..you can't have it !!

[ngobleus]

I'm not bothered...I have a copy of their debut album on CD with "Disturbance" among the bonus tracks...2 different takes to be exact.

[Deeperpurple1952]

Wow !!

[mrbag60]

The Move did an excellent version of Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma" that i hear occasionally on the Technicolor Web of Sound. Does anyone have that song on video or a recording? Love to see and hear it on YouTube.

It also makes me wonder how, after listening to the Move, and other enormously talented bands such as the Creation, Pretty Things, Small Faces and the Birds, how they somehow fell through the cracks in the US.

[wgoco]

thanx 4 posting this super vid...was doing some research and this song came up,,,figured I'd try YouTube and see if any info (while stilllistening to Clash on Radio BBC research show...didn'r expect to see fanastic vid and great tune..

[DBD34GS]

Great song and band. Never expected to see a video of this, its wicked.

[paperwerewolf]

Fantastic! Can't get enough of the Move esp the early stuff. RIP Carl Wayne

[BillMo22]

I feel the same way, the move hasnt faltered in my current rotation for 6 months. its really good, very underrated

[pilninggas]

i love the vocal harmony bridge at about 41 seconds - fabulous

[mcrenshaw]

Godhead.......

[BTR667]

always thought their 1st album rivalled anything by the beatles

[stelloyd90]

you are jokin seriously roy wood and carly wayne are great but this is nowhere near as good as sexy sadie , please please me they are great the move but cannot touch the beatles

[c130mover]

lol love this as a kid music was real even if u had a twat on stage in sun glasses

[ray03lu05]

The Move - absolute class!

[qwstnx]

Let's forget about the Beatles and the Stones these guys are much more talented in my opinion.

[cbimbi]

great forgotten band from those lsdays

[dlanodrelda]

Carl's voice cracks. Ace (The Singing Skull) Kefford's voice doesn't. Where are you Ace??

[spacepatrolman]

HE HAS A CD ACE THE FACE

[ngobleus]

I bought it...it's pretty good. Like his cover of "For Your Love" (not part of the original solo album, was from his years leading the Ace Kefford Stand).

[truethought62]

Probably because of his laryngitis from singing so much--Ace didn't get to sing quite as often, you know....

[leatherandtactel]

roy wood is the second from the right...he didnt have any facial hair it took me a while to recognize him you can see him better in the "i can hear the grass grow" clip...the bassist rules o.k.

[klimmerwish]

Who of them are Roy Wood???

[deane1968]

im ag i ne

[ngobleus]

Wh at? Y ou bein g a bl e to spel l?

[deane1968]

Looks like you need a few more drinks

[MysticRover]

What a Gem! Dark Side Of The Move..indeed!  Big Big Country future influence in the rhythm guitar section. Classic stuff!! Thanks for the forgotten memories!!

[showmerightnow]

AMAZED!!! This is the song that introduced me to the Move. I can't believe there's film. WOW!

[theodorus45]

Seen them twice in the sixties,great band!

[antoniosoul]

The Move are virtually unknown in North America, though God knows why. Probably the best band who never made it here.

[daveaw69]

The Move made it VERY big in the UK, that's what REALLY matters.

[antoniosoul]

That's fine, but I'm in Canada - and I never even heard of these guys until a few years ago. When i found out what i had missed out on,I felt ripped off!

[mikal9000]

Agreed. Very much a cult band here in the States, although Cheap Trick cited them as a major influence (and you can hear it in their stuff!) Great clip - thanks for posting it!

[antoniosoul]

Yes, absolutely! The reason I discovered The Move was Cheap Trick's cover of California Man!

[Muddyrich]

nice to finally see Ace Kefford, the "singing skull", in action on bass and vocals...

[ngobleus]

Where can I find vids like this one?

[steve01274]

CARL..more T.C.P and gargle.still a great song.

[kirkwallboy]

The b side - Disturbance - was brilliant and original. The last 30 seconds are scary! Can somebody please post it!

[MattHatter]

Oh, "Disturbance" is freakin' fantastic! Yes, the last 30 seconds are NOT something you'd want to be listening to while on acid that's for sure!

[Papercop]

Never a shot of Roy's face in the whole video.

The media's love for the singer at its peak.

[MattHatter]

Oh that was just friggin' fantastic! Poor Carl, boy is he having trouble with those high parts!

[SOFAJEDI]

wood left in the july of 72 just after the release of 10538 overture

[ngobleus]

True, and about half of ELO's tour lineup left with him (Bill Hunt, Trevor Smith, Andy Craig and Hugh McDowell. All but Craig helped Wood found Wizzard).

[aitchf]

ELO came long after The Move.

[MartyRotten]

Actually, ELO evolved out of the Move. By the end of the Sixties there was only Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan in the Move. They did one more Move album and then changed to ELO. Roy Wood then left to form Wizzard.

[45rpmsingle]

Carl Wayne left the band early in 1970 and Lynne joined shortly after.

[john66]

ELO's first album was being recorded over the last year or so of the Move, as they also recorded the "Message from the country" lp and the final Move singles. ELO was the "experimental classical rock" group they designed from the ground up. jeff lynne was not on the first 3 move lps, he was a late addition to the band.

[dawkeye1]

ace is fine now, just got his new cd called commitment from him and the songs are fantastic! Great band wernt they, im 35 so wasnt alive to see them in the 60s, and all the other great acts that played at the marquee and roundhouse etc.

[Perranporth]

Interesting rendition, but I guess it was quite hard to perform live.

[mcrenshaw]

Every time I watch this I'm glad to be alive...

[ngobleus]

This is one of my favorite Move songs...this, and "Wild Tiger Woman," and "Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited".

[paulthepill]

i remember this being released, very controversial as it was supposed to be about l.s.d (drugs not money)"just about to trip your mind" great song

[gavle]

What a song! And of course Blackberry Way, Curly et all aren´t bad either!

[spacepatrolman]

Thats 1812 Overture 10538 is by ELO

[ra717]

Ace had the moves, man. He could really do it all: sing, look the part, move the hips and knees, and play a mean bass. I guess it may have been too much for the guy, because he left the band not too long after this live bit was filmed. And no, to reply the previous post, he was a perfect supporting vocalist. No one could take lead duties away from the great Carl Wayne.

[ngobleus]

True, the strain was getting to be much on Ace. His mental health began to wane, and he quit the band. He was hospitallized shortly thereafter, but the band did visit him.

[EnidBlytonne]

Carl's voice is good but Roy's will always be my favourite.

[LarryFlames]

Brilliant late mod band. All most people know about about mod is the who and the samll faces. They should be showing this stuff in schools.

[PsychedelicGuy]

At 1:15 Carl sounds like he about lost his voice but he kept it goin, Classic band, one of the best.

[danielpresberger]

die Band hat .... scheisse jetzt fällt mir das Wort nicht mehr ein ....

[newforce]

This is a classic with Roy's riff taken directly from Tchaikovsky's 1058 Overture - and for once Ace Kefford (bass)since a bit of lead with Carl Wayne... Impressive, because he sings better than Carl. Now why wasn't he chosen to be the lead singer of The Move instead? Overall, 2 thumbs up for this one! Reply if you agree

[newforce]

sorry Ace sings a bit of lead, not since, now that didn't make since did it

[cloonmore]

Fantastic clip, not as good as I Can Hear the Grass Grow from the same show, but definitely 2 thumbs up. Gives you an idea how exciting that 4-man front line was live.

[spacepatrolman]

Thats 1812 Overture 10538 was by ELO.
