STRAWBS Where is this dream of your youth.wmv

This is so much better than the studio version. How rare is that?

Great song, with a lot of energy and a truly great Hammond solo by Rick Wakeman (I love the wah-wah pedal effect used here). Great Strawbs! And this album ("Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios") is definitely one of their best ones.

I saw them about 1972 in Chelmsford.

Late 1960's yearning for idealized idolotarized youthful naivete in which a young person's generation - the baby boomers thought that their morality was SO superior to everything that had come before them - navel gazing unworldliness as manifested by an all too greedy mass media intent on selling to the "young market." Still a great song that does capture how many people feel looking back or reflecting on their ideals or dreams of their own youth.

One of the band's best for sure, and one of Wakeman's finest solos (thanks to a solid rhythm bedrock to launch from). East-west trance music of the highest order.

my fav Strawbs song. thanks for posting

[muscles2feel]

Thanks for posting. Rick Wakeman is at the Hammond organ. It's from their live album, "Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios".

Curiously (and annoyingly) the Hammond was modified with a wah-wah pedal effect, definitively not standard usage of the Hammond at the time (1970).

@muscles2feel i agree perfectly . it is this track that made mr wakeman famous then he joined yes after he did a solo album that was controversial in his career
