Iveys (Badfinger) Live - Long Tall Sally 68

[DKDonnelly]

Thanks very much to Dan M. for finding and making these performances available to all of us Iveys/Badfinger fans and showing the rest of the world what an amazing bunch of talent was offered by this band(s). Tom Evans had one of the best rock voices of all time.

These guys were great pop songcrafters, but it's great to hear them rocking out! Mike was one hell of a drummer  - for a lefty (just kidding).

Being 1968 for this gig, I find Pete Ham's leads and his tone amazing. Who was playing Rock and Roll like that, at that time, with that finesse and raw energy? He may be one of the most underrated guitarists of all-time. Maybe someday he will receive notice as a guitarist. I think people don't know who did what because Joe played lead, too.

I could get up and dance to this !  Good comment MrBiasedben !!

Great ! they were all outstanding & amazing ...and the latter including joey.

GREAT version of this! Tommy really gets into the vocals, and there's Pete on lead guitar. It always comes back to the great old rock songs, doesn't it? I have the "Maybe Tomorrow" album (1990 reissue) and the Iveys were really, really good. Every time I think of Badfinger, my heart just aches for all those guys (well, not Joey Molland), and I wish things had turned out better...

BadfingerIveys rocks, for sharing these with us! I hope there are more songs

from this show!

[GraceBarrett]

This is hot! But I thought Joey taught them how to "rock and roll"?

My God - what a revelation!!

[MrBiasedben]

What a revelation indeed... but unless I'm mistaken, I thought it was Kathie that said she taught the boys how to "rock & roll". Can't help but wonder what the band would've been without her!

@GraceBarrett I have some Badfinger live with Joey singing "Roll Over Beethoven" and other R&R. He just doesn't do justice because he has this very limited stoner vocal and he is sloppy and misses lines. Tommy Evans is incredible on this stuff. And Griffiths adds cool yells and high harmony. Iveys are better than I realized. Thanks for all these songs of an underrated band, Dan.
