there was a band names SOMA that played around Montreal in the late 60s early 70s, could it be the same band? I've been looking for them for soo long!! Please anyone let me know.

[normbeavio]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been lookin for it for so long

[mymymymy6]

I share it so people will enjoy it and ever remember the band that should have been as well known as Deep Purple

I was drumming with The Axemen in the 60's when Jackie was just starting to learn his craft. Within a few months he was light years ahead. Knew Richie well when we played in opposing groups and at HWMHS, and had the honour of Frank doing a set with us in Lantz one night. Awesome video...thanx so much for sharing it with us.

I remember when they open up for santana in moncton,,,the drummers for Santana all wanted to know where Jackie learned how to play drums,,,they couldnt believe he was just a natural

[dinahcat]

This video freaked me out!!! It's 1970 all over again and Train sounds as fresh as if I had just heard it yesterday. Ritchie Oakley, Frank "The Beast" McKay, Donnie on keys, Zipper on bass and Jack "it's all in the wrist" Harris on drums. Ahh sweet youth.

[imacfunk]

Jackie Harris on drums and Zipper aka Donny Morris.

Jackie was a freak of nature back in the early '70s - nobody played like him. :o)

They did a warm up for Chicago and freaked them out.

[baconcow]

my dad is the drummer!!!!!!!!!!! He ROCKS!

[mymymymy6]

And smooth and tasteful ,,,,,

Ther'll be some more soon

[wonekawa]

@baconcow he sure does !

[dinahcat]

@baconcow I remember seeing Jack Harris in the early 70s playing with SOMA -- still consider him one of the greatest drummers I have ever seen ---we used to say "he plays from the wrist". Great memories of this band.

[eldiablonegra]

Drummer is Jackie Harris.

[dm7b5]

I think this is a reunion in later years.

[dm7b5]

Here's a try

Richie Oakley - Guitar

Donnie Muir - Organ/kybds

Frank MAcKay - the biggest undiscovered international rock star of then70's. Still acting and singing - still great

Zipper - bass

Forget drummer's name. Someone will know it. Ginger Baker type of fellow

Pam Marsh singing backup on this.

All of these guys may well have sounded in other bands. Oakely was a great band, Frank's R&B was stellar,

[rbopster]

[dustypuppy]
