roy harper. the same old rock

[kugunga]

Excellent phrasing from 3.30 - 4.10.

Great musician.

[lawless130]

roy harper and pink floyd truly timeless artists

[ehcmier]

@14hunan Keep your imposing labels and preconceived compartmentalized notions out of it.

[Django5198]

@14hunan This is about as real as folk can get. Really traditional sounding old english folk.

[demurely1]

I'm sitting listening to this with headphones totally unable not to sing along - much to the amusement/bewilderment of my partner. How is it that I still know the words after 40 years?

[SizeTenBiscuit]

I've got front row (well 2nd row) tickets for his 70th birthday show at the Royal Festival Hall in November. Can't bloody wait!. Hope Jimmy joins him onstage. It says special guests.....

[puddypuss]

hello kentish bloke, thanks for this. it would be really good if you or anyone could put zany janie on, or the track I can never remember the title of from late 70s....isnt it time to remember, isnt it time to forget. it was on a picture single with a girl with dark hair, who I introduced to roy, on the cover drawing. thanks if you can. keith.

[DrR0cks0]

This is more expensive than John Coltrane's Live In Japan, there is a Hell after all. don't want to spend 20 dollars on this album but I might just have to! Among others!

[Arglactable]

This guy definitely does not get the recognition he deserves.

[woodstockgeneration]

Great Harper tune! Just post this on the wall of the Way Back Experience page on facebook to celebrate his birthday today. Thanks for uploading.

[visaramusic]

A Highlight, no doubt!!! Respect.

[coolclint88]

Whole lotta love lick at 10:34

[theiukman]

Came back, its a favourite, it just sends shivers down my back. I have the vinyl but this is the only place I can listen to it conveniently these days, even though the ending is missing it still works for me. Great guitar (JImmy Page?), great words, great voice. This is not a place to argue, it is a place to enjoy!!!!!!!!!! Please.

[poada2008]

of all time

[Psikonort]

Stunningly Beautiful music

[monogirl3]

simply gorgeous. love roy harper's music so much.

[TheDanification]

first listen to this song and this artist as well, but i'm so inspired by Page's playing. great combo here.

[TENBONES13]

DOES ANYBODY THERE AGREE WITH ME THAT BORN IN CAPTIVITY IS BETTER THAN THE ALBUM IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A DEMO FOR NAMELY WORK OF HEART NOT THAT YOULL CHANGE MY MIND ON THE SUBJECT

[needledropdamagedone]

Fantastic ! Nice discovery.

[Raelspark]

The other guitarist has to S. Flavius Mercurius, otherwise known as Jimmy Page. One of the sound engineers is Alan Parsons.

[wixy20071]

10 minutes just fly by....

[RockyRoader]

Cracking stuff - a link between Dylan and John Martyn. Shades of Jethro Tull too.

(and to be fair, Dylan was well-known before Harper came big on the scene)

Too hippy to eat anybody for breakfast, I reckon!

[SUNSHINESBETER]

roy harper...best kept secret in music! the fella's a genius!!...many thanks for this btw,,been a while :-)

[prezobummer]

never heard before , good stuff , like pre genesis i dont dig the lyrics dont grab me but the guitar is outstanding n it flows wit vocals good

[prezobummer]

never heard before , good stuff , like pre genesis

[Django5198]

Harper could eat Bob Dylan for breakfast, shit him out, then eat him again.

[assdickass]

@Django5198 HAH! This guy knows what's up. I dunno about again however. I don't think Roy's a shit eater.

[LoserBabyLuna]

This is SO epic. In every sense of the word. O__O

[raceygofast]

I got to get a new copy of stormcock.

[kentishbloke]

@raceygofast I believe all 4 tracks are available on YouTube now there's a 15 min limit.

Download DVDVideosoft free software and you can rip them as MP3s :))

[raceygofast]

@kentishbloke Cool, many thanks.

[mvd191]

@kentishbloke: ohhh nooooo good music like this you have to buy on good old vinyl or at least on a CD !! =)

[Arglactable]

@kentishbloke I wouldn't recommend that, seeing as youtube is generally AT BEST at 128k mp3 quality. It usually has a bunch of artifacts and other problems from the conversion process. Just buy the CD on Amazon.

[Arglactable]

@raceygofast Just order it on his web site.

[Ingramdumpkiss]

One of the most intense songs I know....and I still don't have a clue what it's about! Madness and genius colliding to great effect.

[dan32113]

@Ingramdumpkiss its an anti religon song, about how organized religon keeps man down, & the narrow mindness of it & hypocrisy!

[cesaresusa]

Oh, dam#@§!

Where's Jimmy's final solo?

[Neugen]

My God! What a voice! What a soul!

"Lifemask"! There is no other!

[Bellyflops2]

Hats off to you

[kenfig]

Nice to hear this from an interesting,more ambitious and experimental album than its predecessor FLAT BAROQUE.But at least it wasnt the same, although i dont like it as much as FB. My fav are Hors D'Oeuvres and One Man Rock n Roll Band

[OlgaRozanova]

Sounds as fresh as the day it was recorded.

[UNSXEDUTCH]

listen you old eejit... i was prepared to let this drop but now you seem to be the person pestering me... go away. what's wrong? didn't i go back to your homepage and spout off.. i've just read it... and you were wrong.. no i didn't go back and look at it. i've got better things to be doing with my time than ping ponging messages with some old fart on youtube. isn't trisha on or something... i believe they do re runs on itv2... oh yes, you stated you have no television... bailiffs?

[kentishbloke]

@UNSXEDUTCH who is this directed at ?

[assdickass]

@UNSXEDUTCH Is this guy talking to himself or something? Schizo maybe? Either way, it sure is irritating.

[courtneyjakeman]

if any i can tell me a word to describe that track let me no cause i cant

[Steemonia]

What a fuckin genious ! (Y)

[tazio2]

Stormcock was the greatest LP/CD EVER released , bar none ! it has never ever been even approached and will never be matched

[theiukman]

When I bought this album on vinyl, the day it came out, I wrote down the words to this song on the sleeve. I'm looking at it now. Occassionally a great song comes along. Poetry and great guitar playing in 10 minutes of pure bliss.

[prezobummer]

@theiukman agree pure bliss although i never heard this musician b4

[tonton1834]

@theiukman this song is indian's skin

[thedeeliciousplum]

wow...I wonder why I do not take the time to find these gems like I used to in my youth. What a beautiful piece.

[drdavidsands]

Nice one!

[larsjonny]

Beautiful song. :-)

[cosmicrider287]

i like the outro very much.

[equestrianstatue]

You really have to listen to his records on headphones . . . . . The way he used sound as a sculptor would.

[deafflylii1]

Spot on . Name one better Roy track. This is the apex of Roys work.

[onebigguitar]

...Highway Blues? Or Blackpool? xx

[deafflylii1]

So true. Live he is the band, utterly expansive.

[turnem1951]

Hats Off To Roy Harper.............Priceless

[deafflylii1]

My all time favoutite roy song.

[vikklas]

What an incredible, beautiful song.  Simply amazing guitar. The lyrics aren't too shabby, either.

[Crain76]

amazing song

[unclealbert72]

Love Jimmy's lick between 3:16 and 3:20

[coolclint88]

Same here Its amazing I listened to it until i learned it.

[unclealbert72]

I've learned it too and I find myself using it alot lately!

I play a right handed guitar left handed (upside down).

[EdMuirton]

Good one Tim! Only knew his name via the Led Zep song. Always wondered who he was. Cheers!

[kentishbloke]

well worth checking out Ed :)

[assdickass]

@kentishbloke BRAH!!!! Upload Feeling all the Saturday

[kentishbloke]

@assdickass Oh For fuck sake..must I ?...will see if I can find it :))

[assdickass]

@kentishbloke You rule beyond your comrehension of yourself ruling.

[coolclint88]

Fantastic Song

Some of Pages' best acoustic work

[nannerbj]

I know I told you before but I love this guys voice ever since I heard him on The Old GWT

[PepWan]

Cheers Tim! Good song! 5*

[ricmalbex]

I never got into Roy Harper, but this is a great track. Cheers for sharing mate. Great accoustic. (Did you get into this at Lenny's?)

[kentishbloke]

No..Kim Arthurs, then I think Andy Kemsley was a fan too.

[ricmalbex]

Kim Arthur!!(used to live near the Dell, didn't he?)Haven't seen him for a many a long year..Is he still about? Andy,I saw a couple of years ago. He's doing okay. Cheers mate...Nostalgia Street. We've got loads to talk about. :-)))

[vegasdaddy17]

AAHH!!...Nostalgia ain't what it used to be...LOL...

[kentishbloke]

Rich..Kim moved to East Malling, down by the Medway. Saw him at Terry's funeral. Looks like a retired scrap matel merchant....Oh, he is. Done OK for himself.
