The Move Live at Beat Beat Beat 1967 - Full

[redtinman10]

Saw The Move at Wimbledon Palais, just had to the best live band of the 60's so dynamic and great visually. "Far Out"

A treasure

[marcfedak]

I love how the lead singer is straining to reach that elusive note in "Night of Fear" -- it makes the song sound even more desperate. And I like how each singer has their own style and sound. They must have learned something from Motown.

[marcfedak]

Thanks a lot for posting this elodevi. I love the Move's Mod phase. Actually I liked every one of their phases, including ELO.

I'd like to get my hands on some of their guitars. Imagine what they'd be worth today, like the strat that Wood is playing. Some guys from 60's bands held on to their instruments, which ended up being worth huge sums of money. If you see any Les Pauls in these pre-1968 videos, assume it's from the 50's or 1960, because there were no Les Pauls made between 1960-68. And in case you didn't know, these Les Pauls are the most valuable electric guitars on the planet, with 1959's at the top end.

[TEAKUKAMBASSADOR]

Wonderful - I agree with Tito!

[Detroit1967]

live at Stadthalle, Offenbach. the venue still exists.

[talpajam]

love those Night Of Fear harmonies...as 60s as it gets.

[PeMoFilm]

Roy Wood without any beard - very unusual - getting used to ;-).

[bartlettohio]

SHAZAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AncientFan]

Ihr würdet mir sehr helfen die Chronologie auf zu hellen ;D. Ich habe einige Zeit gebraucht um BBC-Footage aus der Reihe Colour me Pop auf den 4. Januar 1969 zu datieren. Danke für Input!

[AncientFan]

Hallo Deutschland... DATUM?! Spät 1967? Aber wann??!

[brilliantos]

ACE KEFFORD with the ace dance moves!!!

[psimonsen123]

Played live, no retakes, no overdubs just 5 guys that can play and sing ... awesome

[TheAstradyne]

Pure class. This was out before I was born but not much of the stuff that came out after was as good as this. Brilliant.

[blossomsquirrel]

One of the best bands around at that time. Too aggressive for the hippie culture tho', and probably too melodic and single-orientated to be accepted as a hip/cool rock band. Second thoughts, not 'one of...' but in fact THE best band of the time. Thanks a million for the upload. Shame on the TV companies for never airing these clips.

[maida1982a]

4 great, not just good, voices.

[LongboardingUK]

So that's what Roy Wood looks like! A truly underestimated musician. Deserves a gong.

[Izdigger5]

The Epitome of Cool. I can't believe they didn't become superstars just on account of the music. They even had the looks to back it up.

[zxpalpha]

What happened to good music

[paulthepill]

what happened to ace kefford ?

[Izdigger5]

@paulthepill

Took too much acid one night, ended up in a mental hospital.

[22clodius]

nice voices

[noxinsox1]

A very underated group who made some inventive music.

[tigranvartanovitch]

nicht "aus London" - aus Birmingham

[hardstuff72]

R.I.P. Carl Wayne 1943-2004. The Vikings (his band before the Move) were good too. The Move became Roy Wood's total control when Carl left the band and The Move were for a big part modified to be the better known Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). A simple band like this one which got overshadowed by its own popularity effect.

[marcfedak]

The Move had many interesting phases -- Who-like mod rock, flower power psychedelia, heavy rock (eg. Brontosaurus), and of course their later symphonic forays that evolved into ELO.

[22clodius]

complitly original ,4 singers

[odolwaodolwa07]

Walk Upon the Water is a brilliant song

[maida1982a]

With their 4 part vocals, reminds me of Moby Grape-no surprise Move covered 'Hey Grandma' and did a great job. Ace has a great voice!

[isit10538]

WOW.great,fanfookentastic.than­k you.

[Paulie88]

BEAUTIFUL, thank you!!!

[NeilThompson30]

Brilliant - why does Roy do the Grass grow riff on the 5th instead of the 3rd (as on the record)?

[buysometrysome]

@NeilThompson30

Because he's Roy Wood.

[mrlucky777]

Epic! so rare and so great!!!! thanks for this one!

[borski67]

Where is music like this today?

[musicmann1967]

@borski67 On youtube!

[TheAstradyne]

@borski67 It's very simple. There is no music like this today because there is no talent like this today.

[CommonSenseMan1]

@borski67 Exactly......nowhere to be seen :-(

[rastacraw]

it's a shame it's in black and white. their clothes are probably vibrantly colorful.

[nobby431]

this is great thank you

[TitoAGoGO]

Just leave me on an island with this!

[uppervalleypsych]

This is such a great document of this band's brief heyday--they could really pull it off live. What is interesting to me is the approach to the vocals where everyone gets a chance to contribute a lead bit. Also, you can really see Bev Bevan's odd drumstick grip! Anyone know the origin of that??

[uppervalleypsych]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[movejefflynnelo]

Muchas gracias Jorge!

Thank you very much Jorge for the upload!

[moorlock2003]

Yes yes yes, thank you for this 3-song video. Love it.
