Klaus Doldinger's Passport - Uranus (1971)

[bogeybast]

Why not believe this music was made in 1971? It could've been 1972 at the latest. You can easily hear the echoes of Soft Machine, Van der Graaf Generator & Focus. All groovy Euro early fusion bands. I'm not wild about miming to a song on-stage, but in this case Klaus is able to film himself playing a variety of instruments simultaneously. Quite impossible in the live performance format.

This not 1971---this late 70's



[Brainbuck7]

uuudoooooo......(am schlagzeug)!

[foooottiti]

[MultiGemini666]

The 70´s was the best decade for music...this is the proof!!!!! 

[threeby8887]

@MultiGemini666  The '60s also!

[MultiGemini666]

UDO LINDENBERG on drums...yeah!

[Capillus]

Oh man... I've been trippin' and trippin'....

[gd01skorpius]

Wow! I was looking for the guy who composed the score for Das Boot! Not what I was expecting!

[MrSKINFLICK]

@gd01skorpiu: Always underestimate German musicians like that ? LOL :)

[dfeeeeeeee]

GREAT MUSIC,nice amps in backround

[vachalia]

The coldest (not coolest!) sounding Jazz formation ever.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@vachalia: What problems you have, poor.....and i even don´t pity you.....LOL

[dogsmeasuredogs]

get a look at them knobs and sliders on that organ. I really go for those kinds of things.

[zosothebelly]

@dogsmeasuredogs That's a beautiful Farfisa. I used to think that they were German-produced, but then I discovered that they're pure MADE IN ITALY!!

[futsal1958]

Hellz yeah!

[neogen50]

hell yeah thanks for the post!!!!

[borgduck]

I just want to chil out to this!

[Calypso772]

Ich liebe Doldingers Sound

[crocotone]

What a classic setup... Lothar Meid: Amon Düül, Embryo, later he was producer of Westernhagen and Chairman of CBS Record company that was swallowed by Sony Music... Jimmy Jackson: Played with Embryo, Tangerine Dream, Westernhagen & the early Spider Murphy Gang

[MrFigueroa007]

Holy shit 2 58 reminds me king crimson. This band was the shit. They just sound epic and legendary.

[Tarabos1]

This is the only filmed document by the original Passport line up, even before the release of their first album ´Passport-Doldinger`.This video was produced for the legendary german Beat Club series (1970/71)

[poncelled]

I really love Klaus' sound, and the embisher he uses, producing a warm but adventurous tone that is his signature. Good stuff!

[FunkMan53]

Udo Lindenberg on drums...

[xsellsbrod]

i`ve seen and heard the Band ( with curd kress,dr.) in these days in stuttgart, gustav siegle haus.

[casanacht]

Der Beste Deutsche Musiker Überhaupt

[P0rn0ralle84]

1:40 Dave chappell on organ lol!

[daniva]

thanks for the aclaration

[daniva]

yeaaaa..this is absolutely beautiful rock jazz fussion.. what a brass sound!!!

[kasponya]

The Saxophone (although made out of brass) is actually not a brass instrument but a woodwind, relating to the reed that's made from wood.

[xanderlev1]

Doldinger was the Jazz Fusion Luke Skywalker to Miles Davis' Darth Vader...he had the Jedi Fusion force in him and became even stronger than the master.

[cmglandt]

1970-1979 were the best years for jazz...harnessing electric and acoustic, before "smooth" took over...sometimes I wish I was born 20 years earlier...

[pazi63]

Klaus erinnert hier an den Saxophinisten der muppets show, das ist sicher ein Zufall. Starke Musik. Mensch und du Udo

ganz ohne Hut.

[122099]

Der Anfang klingt wie die Musik von irgendeinem schlechten Lehr-Video.

[P0rn0ralle84]

I luv this Track!

[borgduck]

Reminds me of Chicago (Transit Authority), fab video!!

[cmglandt]

If "the 1970's" was a brand name, this would be it's theme song. Absolutely awesome.

[calpont]

Grandi! che bell' epoca, che belle timbriche

[xanderlev1]

Holy Crap! They took Miles Davis' fusion Jazz experiments and just ran with it! This is classic material.

[buriedverydeep]

fron Amon Duul to KD's Passport Lothar Meid 's always groovy!

[ttph1]
