LOL... then there was the time at Stonehenge when the drum machine wouldn't switch off due to a damp short circuit... What an inspiration you are Arthur Brown!
Saw them at Guildford Civic Hall in the 1970s. Arthur wore an outfit which seemed to be largely made of BacoFoil which he tore off half way through the gig. Underneath was revealed a set of combination long johns in which he then danced around the stage under a crazy strobe light show. As I remember, the band, the music and Arthur's voice were all excellent. Quite an underrated innovator really and always worth a listen.

The definitive progressive rock album. Kingdom Come - Journey

I think Arthur was one of the first to use an electronic drum machine (box) on stage.

Very good, it was the brainstorm of Victor Peraino, to be the first ever to utilize the sound of the drum machine on stage in performance!

This lp would have been so much better if arthur used a drummer instead of a drum machine. Great record anyway.

I saw them live several times in the early 70's at the Croydon Greyhound. One of the best live bands around at the time. A truly awesome experience!

Totally superb! The guy's an absolute genius. Did he say something about Van Gogh's ear?

this is SO great! And this is the original version, very different of the "Lost Ears" version. 5 stars. Always!
This track was also recorded by Bruce Dickinson... I believe.
