Blodwyn Pig - See My Way

[yardbirdmackay]

Sure was, Jack was really great at this, a great great band.

[AndrewFairservice]

wtf? is he playing clarinet and saxophone at the same time?!?!

[reward116]

thanx for sharing , cheers

[MEHRALSZEHN]

Need a light to see my hand and I can't help it if I stumble

Over those things that I've set before me

Wanna see, see my way

Need a friend to help me through when I'm down

Pick my body up and carry me home, take me home

[MEHRALSZEHN]

Anybody knows the lyrics of this great song?

[MrArgo1960]

DONT MAKE IT LIKE THIS NOMORE MAN.......I LOVEIT

[xCUMGETSUMx]

I had this on a reel to reel that I played in the car . Brilliant , and loved that sleeve , who could forget that pig , gotta love youtube for digging out the memories

[patboudotlamot]

absolument dingue !

[MegaSqrl]

thanx  sooo much for posting this wonderful exuberant music, always loved the Blodwyn Pig

[paitch13]

The first Jethro Tull had Mick as the guitarist. Jethro Tull went one way and I followed Mick the other way as long as I could and as often as I could. Mick is back. As good as ever. Ahead Rings Out is primo. I have the original vinyl LP. Have played a million times and it is still in the top 5. Live on Mick

[shotdonkey]

this is a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c. a friend of mine had been recommending "ahead rings out" to me about 15 years ago. I disregarded it because of-well- the jethro tull connection and their being boring old farts...

well, blodwyn pig are a whole different prospect: tight, adventurous and humorous!

so please: if there`s one song I want played at my funeral, it`s "see my way".

[meowandmeow]

@shotdonkey Tull ( Ian anderson at least) are all those things you described. Hell, the entire Thick as a Brick album was an elaborate joke that few understood at the time.

[plastiqueadapte]

Thanks for posting. Loved BP since day one !

[kriss52]

Mich Abrahams is the best the best.

[BostonRocker51]

amazing - so glad to see them here on yootube - thanks for posting this

[craniuman]

One of my favorite songs I can't remember the name. All I remember is that the drummer played beat for beat with the lead singer

on the break. Never heard anything like it then or since. So cool!!

[rogerstill71]

I used to get stoned, put on my headphones, & play this at 10

[52barney]

I can enter the next realm with head held high and ears on fire.

[MaxMarist]

Nice one guys , I haven't heard this since I was about 14 , my older brother had it , blew our speakers out ! I'll take this track to his 60th this year , as a bald old hippie he will be stoked. We may be old , but hey the 60s was a great time to be young. [ Mind you I saw and liked Vampire Weekend the other day .]

[johnpringo]

Mick Abrahms from Jethro Tull..one of the 1st great progressive bands of the 60's..live version of See My Way..Bloodwyn Pig

[groovymusicman]

this is for frazerali 100 and slmonge. what do you two clowns listeb to?if you not like it dont watch it. by the way blodwny pig is very good.

[slmonge]

@groovymusicman What is the matter with you groovy? Can't you read? I love Blodwyn Pig. They are one of the most creative bands in rock history. One of the reasons being the way they intergrated jazz into their music. By the way, they were way way better than very good. I listeb to a lot of great music. Classical is the greatest.

[spacepatrolman]

@slmonge if you like classical music with a jazz influence listen to the city of glass by stan kenton and david axelrod they are in here and skyscrapers by carpenter

[spacepatrolman]

@spacepatrolman get songs of inoscence by david axelrod

[23266334]

this awesome , but why its to dark the stage i cant see them very well any ways this its great

[musicmann1967]

Awesome song! I've always loved it!

(Love them bass guitar 16th notes~!!!!! )

hahaha

[concordvinyl]

This is a great song, but personally I prefer the more 'hard rock' version by Australian band Kelly. Have a listen, there are two versions available on YouTube.

[slmonge]

@concordvinyl Hard rock version? You've got to be kidding. They look like a bunch of limp wristed pussies that took a great song with a lot of drive and punch and turned it into crap.

[Frazerali100]

@slmonge This band is the worst band ever. Only listen to if you're an old balding hippie who still wears a pony tail.

[Davesax1965]

@Frazerali100 Cobblers. :-)

[slmonge]

@Frazerali100 Sorry that it took 4 months for a response but I have more of a life than to sit at my computer constantly and make silly, inane comments. You know nothing of what you speak but but Frank Zappa did when he said "kids today wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them in the ass.

[neduddgi]

Genius! *****

[chejolemus]

la banda de Mick Abrahams, buenisimo

[maniacmarklewin52]

where are these guys 2 day i was18 in 1970 i remember them

[GreenerHill]

Mick Abrahams still plays regularly, sometimes as Blodwyn Pig. He is currently recovering from a heart attack, though. Andy Pyle played with Gary Moore for quite a long time. This band is one of the best.

[theseventhprotocol]

Mick Abrams was great with Tull and BP !

[ocajpast]

thanks for the post

saw them in philly at the spectrem

blodwyn pig opened for cactus who opened for guess who jethro tull

Mick, Jim, devil with the blue dress, Ms lady, Them Changes, McCarty, and martin in one night.

As jaco would say the trio of doom

[MusicianStanKilkes]

a great song that inspired me to greater heights.

[cree8vision]

This is so early seventies. It was thought they were going to be big like Jethro Tull.

[AMeatBeetle]

this is pretty cool. thanks for posting.

[Linz748916]

WOW!!!!!!!!! I must get my vinyl version of this out!!!!! Thanks for posting!

[zatopecara]

There is a rare version of this song without a sax player by the Australian group 'Kelly' which is worth a listen.  I like both versions.

[koscina5]

sorry. lose the sax player.

[Bluestraveller789]

Rather lose you!

[xrcjpx]

Man you've gotta realize this was 1968 or 1970...not this new age of tech. and what about the band Morphine...lose him too? come on U missed the music...put yourself back then. We never saw an commercial...never saw 'em on TV...yet...anyway, i like the sax and the band cheers

[koscina5]

I'm not putting down his chops, ofcourse he plays very well. I just didn't care for the riff when I first heard it, and thought when he wasn't playing the band was more melodic and bluesy. It's just a matter of taste. As far as 40 year old music and older: no problem at all.

I prefer it much more than today's sax.  Check out Soft Machine's Six. That's a sax I really love. And cheers to you too.

[killalltheyuppies]

Yep, the sax is the first thing I think of when I think of Blodwyn Pig... well, that and a distinct lack of a flute ;)

I am only 24, so I was not around to hear this band back in the day.

[slmonge]

@koscina5 WOW, you are a loser!

[supercarXXX]

This gig is iconic. Always will be.

[StrengthandHonour]

BP and MAB have always been faves of mine since they started. Saw them at the old Marquee in London - awsome.

Brilliant and Mick still is!

Couldn't find Sweet Caroline on YT anyone got it?

[the1zedog]

siso, saw these guys at the Fillmore East NYC back in the day. Don't listen to what you hear about them, hear them. Always one of our favorites, feeling lucky to have seen them.

[backstcrawler]

Do you have any info if BP played Detroit ? Thanks . DId Mick perform in Detroit with Tull ?

[the1zedog]

Sorry, bsc, I have no info but my own, and I don't know anything about Detroit. I did trade e-mails with Mick thru his website. Asked if any configuaration of BP might visit the states again. He said, not unless there was a booking with another band to sell the tix. I'm sure that could be aranged.

[sisohpromatem7]

I recall hearing incredibly bad things about this band back in the day- even the hippies didn't like them. Hearing this, I can't imagine why. Sounds great!

[the1zedog]

they were great. Anyone who says bad things never listened to Ahead Rings Out.

[sisohpromatem7]

You're right: they were great, and I never realized it until now. If you hadn't posted this, I probably never would have heard them. Thanks for setting me straight.

[tdm5874]

Always loved this song!! It has a really cool and original "Bolero" bridge in the middle.

[theodorus45]

Fantastic song from a fantastic band!!

[supercarXXX]

This is one of the best "live" performances ever, by a progressive group of that time, and a genius sax player. We toured USA in 69, and Jack was a god with his phoon horn, and Mick ruled with his guitar...

[Mrcharliebobo]

I bought Ahead rings out after reading the back of the album and followed the directions and it blew me away!!! fucking awesome album!

[spacepatrolman]

Pig could blow any group off the stage in 2 secounds including tull ,zepp and after .

[1112212222222]

Confused, they are I think.

[8241956]

excellent live performance, mick left tull because of that stupid flute almost in every song and ian trying to take over everything, cheers to mick

[carrietide]

Good song

[deadluckyjay]

whaaa that guyz playin a sax and c/net at once...

This here is proper music, this and all it's ilk.

Can't find (much to my amazement) "sing me a song that iknow" was off a vinyl sampler put out by Island records "nice enough to eat" try searching that lol

[tdm5874]

Glad to see this vid show up again!!!

[jerseyrich52]

Was fortunate to see them twice at the Fillmore East in NYC in the late 60's. They were great!

[the1zedog]

jr52, where are you from? I'm from Rutherford NJ. Saw them once at FE. they opened for Chicago of all bands, both had brass, guitars and drums, I guess.

[FLAVIN77]

I like those old beat club videos.

And of course this song is great, thanks for posting
