Be Bop Deluxe - Futurama Song #3

[saulhudsonrules555]

my dad was the keyboard player for be bop,but made the stupid mistake of leaving!

[Tudomir]

EMI is shit, they not pay Bill anything......?

[zincfreud]

Bill Nelson is awesome on guitar a vocals

[transitmusic2]

A fantatstic version of Maid In Heaven!

[bobwhobobwhobobwho]

Top Shelf ! Bill's voice and the quality here is vintage!

[jongreek]

Excellent! Terrific recording.

[hottattie2]

if your feelin down stick on some be bop and your lifted just as good to hear now as it was 30 odd years ago legends ahh memories

[crimfan]

No royalties from EMI: Pretty far from a Fair Exchange, that's for sure. :/

Amazing band.

[cygnusxl5]

Nice One. Be Bop Deluxe Are The "Dogs Bollocks"!

Such An Underexposed Band and Their Musicianship Should Be More Greatly Recognised.

I Don't Half Miss 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'!

[karlmoles65]

This rules, thanks!

[beboploo]

made in heaven

[Timbarwell]

totally original band Bills guitar work outstanding i saw this band 6 to 7 times these videos are made in heaven and a part of British glamrock history thank god for the footage. Thank you thank you thank you for posting

[caleywontdie]

The best single ever. Classic

[6alix6]

I remember seeing them at Hammersmith(i think) in the 70s and Bill doing a 30min solo and the rest of the band went off stage and they still did another 10mins of the song when they came back on - can anybody remember the song - have been racking my brains for years trying to remember the song

[davidstrut]

I think the song might have been Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape. He did use to extend the guitar solo in this song for quite some time. One of the few guitarists that was always note perfect playing live!

[SONICLOBOTOMY]

Great stuff. This one rocks like Thin Lizzy in Bryan Ferry's wardrobe. Why the hell weren't these guys huge ?

[spartacusvikinga]

They were too good for the masses. I got them , you got them but the people who would buy JEDWARD would never get them.

[NoelGrassy]

Here he has the original fixed tailpiece AND the Bigsby. He didn't really loom the strings through all that did he? He was right at home with this 335

that's more than obvious. His stuff refused to be pigeonholed in the 70s as it does today! Bill is so unique & damned prolific as well. His music remains a big influence on where I wanted to go as a guitarist.

Thanks for sharing these great flix!

These guys were at least five years ahead of their time. This was the first non-progressive band I was willing to listen to back in the day, and they had a huge influence on my playing style. Futurama is an all around great album. I would love to see a clip of Music in Dreamland.

[gurdonark]

love this song. love his current work. love red noise. love in particular the ambient stuff. great artist.

[bill123bach]

Futurama is a amazing, bill is the greatest guitarist ever.

You know that EMI don´t pay him royalties from the time Be Bop Deluxe. Assholes!

[guitwild]

I'm a Huge Bebop FAN , Bill Nelson's guitar playing inspired me when I was learning to play. I was able to see them live three times and they kicked ass and their music still Kicks after all these years. Bill Nelson where ever you are THANK YOU.

[Sunburst75]

The fact that this song is now 33 years old and sounds even better today says it all. Bill Nelson is a genius and Be Bop Deluxe will live on for ever through their music, thanx for the wonderful memories guys!!

[Tudomir]

Fururama is well made. Bills guys play the shit out of all other grups.

[paulnery]

Fantastic !!!

One of the greatest guitarists of all time!!

[Thecurbstomper]

the singer is goofy lookin but i cant stop listening to this song

[Kohntarkosz]

I was just listening to Futurama the other day at work. My favorite song on this album is Music In Dreamland.

[jongreek]

Now that is cracking good video! Loved these guys before they got into synth junk with Red Noise. RIP Charlie T...Love to see more form this episode of Whistle Test..

[skiatl]

OUTSTANDING>>>>>>I LOVE BBD

[pablosperros]

Futurama is for me the the best guitar album ever,,,,.

[exoskelatal]

saw bbd 3 times and they were wicked, drastic and axe victim what albums they were as well as the rest never saw a man play the guitar better even now

[Spiccatoarco]

RIP Charles Tumahai.

A great musician.

[paddyseat45a]

Yes, I saw them only once but I rememember he and Bill Nelson had great stage presence

[dagooch]

It is Track 3 from the Futurama LP. I had posted it with the actual title before & it was removed due to copyright infringement.

[Timbarwell]

sorry thanks for posting it i saw this tour love this band and saw this on tv the first time it was shown

[Aqualung1956]

Great sound! Be-Bop have to be the most underappreciated band ever! Bill Nelson is an amazing guitarist!

[mailbox827]

Top drawer!!

[Sunburst75]

Awesome.... was privileged to have seen Be Bop 3 times live at the Glasgow Apollo between 1976 and 1978.This track Maid In Heaven was the first of their songs I ever heard when a friend at school kept singing it, I listened to the Futurama album in early 76 and was hooked for ever after that! Can't believe 30 years have now passed !!

[marr654]

i drive past the house where bill was brought up every day in wakefield during work so cannot ever forget them. i played bass in a band for many years & covered maid in heaven , gotall the albums even northern dream.

[marr654]

so so good i am from sheffield & first saw be bop at cityhall when i was 16 first of many times probably the best guitarist in the world.

[TorzJohnson]

Great! All those years I listened to my Be Bop Deluxe records and wondered what it must have been like to see them play. Thanks for posting this stuff.

[ozi76]

Nice, can't you get any more Be Bop videos of this quality?

[Mudge07]

a wee cracker, clear and crisp echoing down the decades from the days of cathode ray tubes... and a s always Live! in the Air Age

[cunningstuntsofpower]
