このハイトーンボイスも歴史になるのか…。

[mariomarathoner]

I'd like to pray for the soul of Joe Yamanaka.

He is one of the greatest singer singer with high tone voice.

Tonight I'd like to appreciate his voice on Satori.

Thank you, Joe!

[bousouzuki]

お悔やみ申し上げます。

[cocojava556]

RIP Joe...

[fezzie666]

Legends never die, this song makes jimmy page very proud.

[rupturedtesticle]

Wow....... wow.

[kwhalenful]

well, that was certainly different, sort of sounded like someone was playing the flute to get the snakes to dance!

[psirou]

I'd give my left nut to have been there!

[jon1156]

A New Guinea head hunter standing on top of a plaster mastodon under the words "MAKE UP" in hanging letters. That's a show.

[A6M221ZERO]

このアフロの男性は、テレビドラマ「探偵物語」で工藤ちゃんに「­Mama do you rememberなんて古い歌うたいやがってコノヤロー」と言わ­れていた方ですか？

[kenkyo1002]

@A6M221ZERO

はい。ジョー山中さんです。

[mZhdanov88]

Benkozuki, this is amazing. Where did you get this video?

Also, the band at the beginning is Blues Creation, with Yuya Uchida on guest vocals (he's the man in black).

[babydollkiller]

This is one of my fav songs to listen to sober or high..

[33bbn53]

Real Rock n roll unites the word

[punxtrax666]

やっぱりカッコ良い！日本のロックはジョーと裕也さんがいたから­こそ今があるのに‥

若者達は先駆者を馬鹿にし過ぎだぞ！！（怒）

と昨日のニューイヤーロックフェスを見て思いましたｗ

[telecattolica]

amazing Fuzz here!

[babydollkiller]

Oh wow....this is my first time ever hearing this... this is just amazing..

[sigroser]

By the way.... if you like this band I recommend my friends youtube channel. You can see other Japanese bands and the history our rock music. Search for his channel with "History of rock music in Japan. Part 1 (日本のロックの歴史、パート1)"

[sigroser]

うわ、この曲懐かしい。子ども時代を思い出します〜　昔はよかった。このブームは、長引く不景気から逃れて懐かしいあ­のころに戻りたいという人々の願いが起こしたものかもしれません­。

[MemoriesOfSilentHill]

Aaron Suski fuck

[charlesgb92]

Aaron Suski part!!! STAY GOLD MOTHERFUCKERS!

[FutileExistence]

DAMN! The feel in this!! =D

[hebneh]

I am compelled to wonder why the stage background reads (in large letters) "MAKE P".

[howardjohnsonexp]

@hebneh at like 1:45 it looks like it says "MAKEUP"??

[howardjohnsonexp]

@hebneh yeah come to think of it, they have an album called make up. theyre just missing a "U" haha

[sigroser]

@hebneh It is counter-culture band which began during Japanese student revolution movement. There was the melee between zengakuren and others where Joe almost killed a man with his fists. The concert began and the title "Make Up" was changed to Make P for peace. There were many bands at this concert to support the stop of violence and war. It was in relation to the United States claim to begin bombing Vietnam again, presence of US soldiers in Japan, Japanese student violence, Korean war etc

[gloriajuice]

the front man joe yamanaka is half black half japanese isnt he?

[spikestrike91]

veanlo...

[2008emitan]

[thegroovyfloyds]

[ccfliege]

Man this is crazy.... I thought it wouldn't be possible to do such shows in Japan, espacially in this time

[OMGlab]

[KINGofDIAMONDsMAGIC]

Hippies suck- what a bunch of gay-wads!!! This sounds like a cross between Robbie Shankar and Justin Beiber.

[RMJSpacker]

@KINGofDIAMONDsMAGIC

Hippies rule, that is all.

[dooragsdog]

@KINGofDIAMONDsMAGIC oh right "robbie" shankar, i remember that guy......"justin beiber", you made that one up, NO SUCH PERSON

[SukmanLee]

Tnanks for this wonderful clip! They played here in Toronto last week... OMG, they were just absolutely fantastic! Wish I had heard them back then... They are still rocking away like crazy how amazing! Very friendly easy going guys. Joe, you are especially most memorable and unforgettable. Can't take my eyes off you on stage! Hope to see u perform again either here in Toronto or even better, Tokyo! Keep up the good work guys! All the very best!! - Brenda from Toronto

[aburhoe8888]

what is the name of this song?

[MunchSomeGrindage]

Satori pt 2 is this version, but it was remade with vocals and dubbed Hiroshima

[easternmind]

I'm pretty sure that Hiroshima is a dubbed version of Satori Pt. 3.

The entire album is amazing!

[mattgarcia1]

dopest music

[TheHeavyPsychChannel]

Greetings from the Heavy Psych Channel

[acdeucee]

Something very raw and primitive about this music...A little Vanilla' Fudgish' but deeper and heavier.

[bribooth]

Katrina's dads band rocks!

[SublimeDebris]

There are many musical gems if you dig for them : )

[DevilGodMan]

This is AWESOME!!

[CodyRicheson]

This is incredibly. It reeks very much of early heavy metal, but while having a strong pyschedelic rock edge. Also, the instrument being played here, which is essentially an electric sitar, is amazing.

[Mikeysdayoff]

This kicks serious ass, and is slightly bonkers -- in a good way.

[kurenai35]

joe is "japanese robert plant"

[hprdg284]

This performance is awesome. It's so awesome, in fact, that I think it echoed throughout time itself and created rock n roll in the fifties before FTB was even formed.

[Zoootex]

Great music

[Ursamare]

I can't stop watching this...I don't know whether to curse or praise you. lol

[Ursamare]

On All Good Things--thank you for this upload.

[samuelthedesoluteone]

[popothechan]

First heard this band in Deadly Outlaw Rekka, an awesome Revenge Film by Takashi Miike the entire album was the music for the movie, and one day a friend of mine gave me a burned copy of their album that I had no idea was them til Satori 1 kicked in man did I rock out hard to it, still do lol. Wish they made more albums. But this one is a good legacy

[dizubz]

22 years ago me and my friends ate large amounts of LSD and jammed this song, Even now when I hear it I get the feeling of that youth, where did all the good times go?????????

[nme30]

is there no audio with the footage available? wud be keen on hearing the last show...!

nice upload!

[Ivor662]

I was lucky enough to see this band at a university party in the early 70s. They were great but only got to do this song and one other (Nagasaki I think) before a fake bomb scare cleared the joint. The lead singer went bananas when the campus cops came in.

[Ivor662]

I actually saw these guys in the fall of 1970. they played a short set, cancelled by, of all things, a "bomb threat". They got in 2 songs, this one and another that I think was caleld Nagasaki. They were great live. And very loud.

[randomnamefive]

that guy has a fucking awesome voice. love this.

[batalion666]
