[TripeSmuggler]

[zkxv]

Ladies and gentlemen..... we have a winner by a knockout... RANDY PIE !!!!

[herbert000sherbet]

Sublime! Unique and unsurpassed – the mixing of cultures often produces the most surprising results: German musicians playing an Afro-American form of popular music and singing English English (rather than American English). The playing is amazing!

[Wibble99O]

Starts off awesome and really blasts off at 2.36

[nickapadia]

BRGDS FROM INDIA!!

[jason75]

Havnt heard of him since the 70's boy it takes me back./

[Naflemac]

Jean-Jacques Kravetz who played keyboards in Frumpy played with Randy Pie many years-great player!

[tata4noww]

Wow! Great vocals, funky bass and clavinet, harmony lead guitar lines, steamy organ solo, hot backup singers shakin' their booties- all set in a boxing ring! This is quality entertainment folks. No lip synching goin' on here.

[IronOtto]

Hi everybody,

it's quite a long time ago, that I've been looking to Orangefunk's post of RPs Vid. Let me thank you for all your kind comment to RP. I've got some good news, I formed "RANDY PIE Reloaded" and we're having our very first concert at March 25th in Hamburg at the "Downtown Bluesclub". One teardrop in the news, I'm the only original RP in this band, but I guess as the lead singer, guitarist and author of most of RPs songs, I'm in a way allowed to do so. :o)

[orangefunk]

thats great Bernd,

I just got back from Oldenburg actually... was talking with some older guys from Munich about the old days... you could see a warm feeling come over them when I mentioned all the old bands...

Hope you are well... (now living in Oslo)

[SteffanLlwyd]

Yes. Great news Bernd. Thanks for the messages : ) Steffan

[FunkyDuke777]

Hi Bernd! Really cool to meet you here!!! That's really great news regarding "RP Reloaded"!!! All the best of luck for your comeback and, which is the most important, enjoy it! Hope you're gonna visit Switzerland soon with your new crew, "moods(dot)ch" would be the perfect location as one of the funkiest places in Zurich.

Das war ne echt coole funkig-rockige Musik, die in die Beine ging. Besten Dank dafür! Rock on.

[FunkyDuke777]

Do you already have a new website for "RP Reloaded"? Plz let us know, pal, if you have one (with booking infos and so on).

[FunkyDuke777]

sorry to bother you with so many messages :), but could you tell us what the occasion for this vid was? where's this boxing ring and what's the crowd doing there? did you just record this one video clip or did you play a whole concert there?

[IronOtto]

Hi, first of all thanks for your kind interest in RPr. I don't mind answer your questions. :o)

RPR Website is still under construction. I hope it'll be ready for the net soon. This vid is a take from a 1h live show, recorded for WDR in Cologne. The WDR Producers had the idea of letting us perform in this boxing ring sourrounded by the audience. Strange in a way, but it was great fun though. There is a big chance that I might get the rest of the program!!!! CU

[FunkyDuke777]

Dear Bernd, thanks for your answer. wow, would be pretty awesome to see the rest of it!

[fystasjoppheng]

Great group! I like the clavinetplaying very much.

[FunkyDuke777]

Frank Diez (Gitarre) and Peter French (Vocals) came in 1977 to replace Bernd and Werner who left the band.

[spunpops69]

do you have:back to universe; FROM THE SIGHTSEEING TOUR LP?

[wilhelmraphael]

32 Jahre später und immer noch topppppppp!!!

[Bjoler80]

this is really awesome:-) great funk and an amazing organ player

[pittyone]

monster organ-playing, voice and all other,

thanks about!

[SteffanLlwyd]

Sooooo good!

[jasbigj]

Are there any videos out there for Stand UP?

[finknz]

well that was pretty bloody impressive!

any other Randy Pie songs I should look out for??

[hyldmo]

Has this been realeased in any digital form? Where can I buy the studio recording of this song? I got to have this one in my collection. Wich LP was it on? Where can I buy the LP? All my searches have turned up blank...

[shamal50]

This song's on Randie Pie's "Kitsch"-Album. Bought the CD a few weeks ago on german eBay (2 on 1 offer, "RANDY PIE-same + KITSCH"). Kitsch is similar to "Highway Driver" but even a bit better, in my opinion.

[steviefin]

just pure brill

[SteffanLlwyd]

Still in my 'Favourites'!

[huerequeque1]

More, plz.

[DeLiXXa]

Yeah, Randy Pie still good medicine. But HIGHWAY DRIVER is the one I like best!!

Saw them playing live back in `75 and they were awesome.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Sorry. Agreed. I meant Highway Driver too!

[Hitmanx123]

i love randy pie, wish all their lps would get digitized and remastered...they are awesomely funky band!

glad to have found this footage

it's a civilized world!

[SkinnerBlues]

Group has it together. Great music and talent. Really enjoyed this!

[LADYxGORE]

nice stuff..how much coke were you guys doing? lol

[IronOtto]

None!!! Only thing we had was one glass of the old original -Southern Comfort- before going on stage.;o)

[markstevent]

I used to have "Kitsch" many years back and was searching for it online when I found this video. Great music! And I found a mint copy on eBay and won the bid at $22.99 :-)

[SteffanLlwyd]

You've got to try and get the 'Randy Pie' LP - ie same name as band. Its all as good as this.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Great to be able to say 'thanks' directly to the performers. Saw RP at UCW Aberystwyth (Wales) and you had the place bouncing by about the third bar of the first song... quite something as the locals usually need a lot of drink first before they really bop!

[soepil]

Great organ- and clavinet solos.

Yeah, overall great.

[IronOtto]

Thanks Neil for posting this!!! It's really funny seeing me and my old pals 30 years later on IT :o)) In a way I feel honoured when after all these Years people like what we've done and get notice of the great musicanship my colleagues had and still have.

Bernd - Kevin Keegan :o))) - who, I guess, played in Hamburg these Years.

[orangefunk]

Thanks Bernd! Thanks for reminding me to do what I should have done months ago. Will be in the post tomorrow!

Just so everyone knows, Bernd is the lead singer playing left handed guitar.... and yes Kevin Keegan was at Hamburg around 1977/78 so he has a lot to aqnswer for ;-)

[SteffanLlwyd]

Just a thought... any chance of a reunion tour in the UK? You were a great unit. Hope everyone from RP is still in good health. It bothers me that about 25% of my blues/rock/ funk heroes were dead by the age of 40!  Life on the road eh?

[IronOtto]

I really don't know is there is a glimpse of a chance to have a RP reunion, if there's one berfore we passed the age of 70 we'd be glad to tour the UK. I remember Aberystwyth but don't know if we were there on our 1. or second tour. Anyway a very good audience! By the way, all RP members are healthy and in good shape. :o))

[SteffanLlwyd]

Great that you remember audiences and are all in good health. I bought your 'latest album' - then 'Highway Driver' (1974) - which dates the tour for you. For those who don't know the album sleeve, it epitomises 'Randy Pie' and 'Highway Driver' ideas very well. I know the place mentioned and will find out about 'A F Dutton' who was the 'highway driver' whom 'randy pie' is waiting for at the roadhouse! Was that woman in RP? Phew.. how the female vocalists singers swung there bottoms!

[mohairsammy]

This is just so wrong. So why am I still watching it? Weird mix of elements, to be sure. Thanks for posting!

[FunkyDuke777]

there's nothing wrong about it, mate. who determines what's right and what's wrong? no one! this band is just killing! and not only in this (i dare to describe it likt that) funky rock'n'roll/krautrock track.

BIG BIG UP to orangefunk for spreading such funky stuff around the world!!

[emilk]

Haha , I hang my macramé planthanger and fishnet to the ceiling and paint my room orange and purple right away.

knocks me out !
