Keef Hartley Band - The Time is Near

[Doobie1975]

RIP Keef Hartley, your music takes me back to my younger & more carefree years

[hundqvist]

This was one of the great prog bands we listened in Finland during my playing years 1968 - 1972. What a golden era of good rock!

[Snake7Plissken]

Memories, oh yes. Great band making great music. Nice to see (and hear) that Miller still out there itching his axe. At the moment touring in Germany with Jon Lord on keyboard, how cool isn't that!

[DonConstantinos]

nice guitar

I just love Gary Thain's bass playing. The little melodies he plays in the background, not just dum-dum-dum... From a Heepster.

[Delfinna]

@fbendz i always tend to think gary's playing is the best part of any recording he was on. my favorite rock bass player, along with geezer butler.

The 70's - what a golden era for rock music, and so much else besides. 

[jillhoward6]

Did the same thing. What great times.

[TheAlienroad]

excellent music

[crashcb22]

I saw them in 1969 at Leeds University after Rod Stewart and the Faces warmed up for them.

Fantastic....All the band were there.

RIP Mike Edwards .

[crashcb22]

Best they ever did.

Great post!

[slideede]

I miss those Bands so very much today especialy guitarplayer like Miller Anderson and those great brass sections, as they were heard by "Savoy Brown", "Keef Hartley" and a lot of Bands in the early seventies, where you can hear the joy of playing their instruments, that no drummachine or computer can substitut today. Greetings from slideede.

[rick2270]

Great track. Anderson wrote some terrific songs, and this arrangement is very effective. And Keef Hartley was a powerful drummer. What's happened to him? I haven't heard this for 30 years - thank you for putting it up!

[drkingsinfo]

Miller Anderson is out on solo tour of UK in Nov '09 check his myspace for details

Does anyone know the name of the Keef Hartley song that sounds a bit like a slowed down version of this song:

I'm thinking that you might be referring to "Too much thinking" [from "Halfbreed"

[shemanic1]

1970 we sat in a partyroom of a friend and he put this record on the player. I was completely overwhelmed. That were the great times of bluesrock. We also liked to listen to Rory Gallagher, Steamhammer, Collosseum, Brainbox, Allman Brothers and unknown stuff like Mogul Thrash with the great song "Elegy". I am happy, that I could listen to that music when I was 18 years old.

I'm from the north of Germany.

Greetings to all real rockfans on/in? the world.

[maida1982a]

wasn't john wetton in mogul thrash? they were kind of like Chicago (horn band), no?

[uwewird100]

Hallo Maida,

I don't know. I only remember James Litherland, the first singer of Collosseum and his great jazz influenced song "Elegy". Long time ago. I feel sentimental, when I think about times when I was young. Anyway, have fun and "carpe diem".

Uwe

@uwewird100 Grazie... io ITALIAN BOY!!!!

[uwewird100]

@sehmir79 Thank you and happy easter if you read this before.

[emadmadi]

blues....

[rasfarli]

I love this song, I need to get the lp right now! There are so many good parts in this song. The acoustic intro, the latin part with the dramatic bassline, the vocal harmony part (!!) which suddenly fades into silence and then intensity builds and turns into this funky part! WOW!

[eggrod]

i am a great lover of free and savoy brown...but without a doubt the first three keef hartley albums were the best sequence of blues /rock albums ever!!!

[sammaghett]

I totaly agree. Also, Miller Anderson is one f the great vocalists of the British Blues genre. Along of course with Chris Youlden

[bilskalorn]

Keef Hartley Big Band was a "super group" if ever there was one! Great!

[Doobie1975]

Definitely an underrated musician nobody seems to know about, would you have Keef Hartley's "Theme Song"?

[maida1982a]

Thanks for adding this. Great stuff. People don't know enough about Keef and his talented band-

[chrisburchardt]

Well, I sure didn't. Thanks though.
