Interesting rare track from the BBC archives and beautiful visuals too... Bravo Tertiusauris! - a.m.

If you watch the Miles Davis DVD 'Electric Miles - Another Kind Of Blue' (Live At The Isle Of Wight), you will see and hear Paul Buckmaster talking about 'Bitches Brew' and what a big influence it was on him. Buckmaster was a member of theThird Ear Band for a while, and played electric bass as well as cello, so it's maybe not surprising to hear that influence coming through here. I like it.

It's from Sounds of the Seventies with John Peel - the whole session can be had from the link in the panel to the right there, complete with Peel's pre-punk enthusiasms verging on lethargy. Stephen Morris is the hi-hat king for sure, and never was a bass player more aptly named than Hook.

Pete Drummond (as I remember) had some odd TEB sessions on his Sounds of the 70s program. Was this one of them? Sweeney sounds like he copied the beat from the 'slow rock ballad' setting on my Yamaha Home Organ, but without the swing button on... Might have been quite interesting with Stephen Morris and Peter Hook in the rhythm section instead?
