That drummer is badass. He hits cymbals upside down :O 2:11

[MarkB1ngham]

didn't MMEB have to get permission from the composer's descendants to use the tune or something?

[ginger8172]

Fantastic song and nice video. It reminds me of my brother neil who is no longer with us and he is missed so much! The old songs were definitely the best, the crap they play now is horrendous!! RIP my darling brother Neil xx

Why wasn't this gem included in the original 1973 album release?

[MrHistorian123]

@borgduck

I really don't know - it would have been a great addition for me.

[chrisdcarney]

Holst would have loved this

[cavanman06]

[thisdudesacoolguy]

oh the memories ....oh the girls...great times .....thanx for posting

[Prosciutto14]

What would Gustav Holst have thought about this? Would he have enjoyed it?

[jerrygreg2]

It would've been acoustic in those days...

[JupiterIV]

@Prosciutto14:

Sent an e-mail to Manfred via his fansite's Webmaster. This was his reply:

His daughter [Imogen] had the right to refuse permission, she liked it, and so I imagine he would have. as well......Manfred

[ppauly]

[rockgal59]

love this song

[uriel4377]

great song thanks!

[anonyMoses]

It is a beautiful sunny Easter day in Charlotte, North Carolina, and this song popped into my mind. It seems to reflect the nature of the season. It is, of course, based on Holst's "Jupiter, the bringer of jollity", but is, in some ways, improved. Don't tell the Holst Foundation I said this though, as they would be cross, and that is NOT the spirit of the season. Or is it???

[medievalnut]

Bloody marvelous ahh 1973  the youth club what joyus days compared to what we have today good music good times thanks for letting the years slip back to a better time

[TheApollorocker]

@medievalnut yep! Just came across this,,,,,,,,takes me back to working with the forrestry in the north of Scotland. If this song doesn't cheer you up , nothing will. Thanks for posting.

[normankrunge]

love this song

[recman1207]

I also saw them in Philly(Spectrum)I think was right after Solar Fire release! Cannot remember who else played! Guess I just went to see Earth Band! I do remember them having 2 lead guitars though(Mick Roders)was 1. The other was very good and they played lots of jams with twin leads(Wishbone Ash type)! I wonder who the other was? It was fantastic though!!!!

[VenusGrnys]

Those were the days!!! Saw them 5 times in Philly. With Argent and the Climax Blues Band!!!

Excellent!!!!

[limeyperson]

how more uplifting can a song get?.....not much more

[kr087690]

Yes I agree...very uplifting. cant help but sing along to it!

[angelickmx]

[rmjayna]

[SazBob2223]

Vastly under-recognised piece of magic. Thanks for uploading. Happy memories/days.

[NZWolf2]

Memories, memories. Right in the middle of glam rock.

[alien8ted]

Sublime! Thank you for posting this wonderful song! (It's based on Gustav Holst's 'Jupiter' from the Planets suite BTW).

[agc812]

Amazingly, I heard this song for the first time ever today on Sirius! It sounded so familiar, then I realized it was Holst. Just when you think you've heard it all...amazing!

[Jojoseahorse]

Oh God that is AWESOME! Reminds me of visiting Aberfoyle as a child :) Keyboard gives me chills. Thanks for posting - I was looking for this for ages :)
