The Move - Brontosaurus

[l176bx]

well I suppose half the number is better than nothing - even with the stupid woman in the middle of it.

[JLynnefan]

@l176bx I think, this stupid woman wars Uschi Nerke, a Moderator of German-TV *rofl*...I agree...this coment wars very stupid :)))

[banjoshua]

Heavy Sgt Pepper's !!!

[MANWOMANnz]

Argh, what key's this in? Sounds like D, but they're doing it an octave lower...

[catman2130093]

Thank goodness for the net! As a teen in America,I loved these guys(still do),but none of my friends would give them an ear..their loss!

[robin7771]

Heavy

[dvfmliv]

The best line-up of the Move. Cheap Trick or Kiss wouldn't have happened without them

[Dandyincursive]

Beeeaaaaarrrrrrrdddddd

[mrizz22]

Does she say "the move is really good" in her language? If so, we already knew that, you didnt have to interrupt.

[Mustrad]

@mrizz22 she said: "everybody knows the move".. and then: "somebody say something!"

[rickkrackk]

Tim Curry did this song on his first album.

[12Racer99]

thank you - loved this one - still have vinyl import - this one could blow speakers like you would't believe

[bolivianex]

Their best song i reckon pretty heavy for the move.

[paulthepill]

@bolivianex  yup

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@2009Denisem your very welcomed!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

WoW the Doctor Detroit is really digging this song n group! thx again to @cirkus76 Big Props to you!

[kozmicmong]

love the move. 

[ex1le444]

Orange Amps - Rockin' 

[dukeyflyswatter]

To bad the end cuts out before that wicked slide guitar solo.

[caerphillykid]

Does anyone know approx when this performance? I take it that Ace has left the building by now, cos the hippie on bass (still an impressive player) is a quantum leap sideways (neither up nor down) from the Mod that was Ace. This must have been the invention of Grunge!

[penrhyndeundraeth]

@caerphillykid This was released as a single in 1971 (if memory serves) I would have been in the Lower 6th.

[MattHatter]

@caerphillykid: This performance is definitely 1970. Jeff Lynne is in the band as is bassist Rick Price (the hippie on bass as you stated). This single came out in early 1970, soon after the "Shazam" album was released. But the song was included on the "Looking On" LP which came out in Dec. of 1970.

[VIKINGDEATHCHANT]

hot stuff.

[willimoto]

MORE THE MOVE PLEASE!

[kokanee2010a]

I used to have this 45 ,the flipside was lightning never strikes twice , but this rendition is a lot slower than i remembered it.

[thewordofgord]

My god, i believe it's live!

thanks, wordofgord

[larkin38]

One of my all time favorite English bands who never made an impact in America. Doing my all time fave Move songs.

[PamK36]

@larkin38 They had fans here, like the guys in Cheap Trick for example.

[maida1982a]

is this Wood, Bevan, Lynne and Price lineup?

[cirkus76]

Yes it is.

[Andrewwarrior]

Wow!!!

[RealDetroiter]

Too bad no one's put up the entire clip.

[namniekib]

SWEET RIFF!!!Love that echoplexed vocal,too!

[jasparstraat]

een eeuwigheid niet meer gehoord !! en ook nog even Ushi Nerke te zien uit beatclub Duitse tv

[Andreagear4]

Egal was die spielten,es war immer gut.

[yourpaljc]

One of my all time favourites...bitchin'.

[jimz68]

Great stuff!!

And...Jeff Lynne without sunglasses!

[hrothgleas]

I didn't recognize him!

[shotdonkey]

glam rock before the fact...what with all the heavy riffage `n` all...visionary stuff.

the move. love `em.

[Rasurusan]

This was on the Looking On album. That entire album was really great. Best album I ever heard.

[MattHatter]

@Rasurusan: I just got the remastered CD of "Looking On" today and GOOD GOSH IS IT AN EPIC ALBUM! That record will cleanse your mind and soul by the time it's finished.

[11xzxzxz]

The Move were so great .. pick up the 3 disk set. Side 2 is great with Beautiful Daughter, Last thing on my mind, etc.

[MrAlQ]

Cheap Trick used this riff in the bridge of their cover of "California Man." And did a cover of the actual song later on. This rocks!

[theswitch6]

Not heard this since I was a nipper. Liked it back then, and I guess the Faces did too - it sounds like the template for 'Stay With Me'.

[HazMatCFO]

The DeLeo brothers of Stone Temple Pilots fame cite the Move as an inspiration to their musical style.

Nothing new really, but the Move inspired a lot of great musicians year later.

[psychkoala]

Heavy, man, Heavy. ; )

[movilwagg]

Great!!

[eamonosu]

yeah helter skelter too

[eamonosu]

hey i heard the riff from lady madonna just then, wonder which came fiirst

[mikejaz2]

What year, what venue? Facts, puh-leaze!

[admanphoto]

Now I know where Oasis ripped there stuff from.

[mallard4998]

@admanphoto yeah and the Beatles!!!oasis are a load of shite!!!!!!!

[tatunkha]

@mallard4998 thats so fooking right - he he

[snotmale]

All I can hear is "Helter-Skelter!!

[FinnMove]

Look that very sexy girl !

I like also this song.

[Northpole666]

Me too!!! But in a Creedence Clearwater Revival package....

[Detroit1967]

Covered by fellow Englishman Tim Curry on his first solo album ; )

[Endunator]

Lynne looks a bit like Clapton here.

[shleml]

Super stuff!

[newcastlerabbit]

A heavy song.

[konstantinov]

cute how much Lynne worshiped the bloody Beatles ... cheeky bastage

[NeilThompson30]

You're so right - konst - from the moment I set eyes on Jeff Lynne I thought - you cheeky bastage!

This is the best single EVER

[endrizo]

wow now this is rare thank you a millon pal

a jeff -elo fan.

[FinnMove]

A vary short period Jeff Lynne with only

a moustache. They were making Looking on at that time. But there is no band portrait

in the original vinyl sleeve as I remember.

[ChefDeenoh]

You are right, just a shot "looking On" a group of bald headed men, from above.

[MattHatter]

Love how they cut to the announcer chick right in the middle of the solo like that...comedy! The Move were one of England's best bands of this era. Shame the U.S. didn't take hold of them as they should have.

[donn409]

@MattHatter I agree, the U.S. should've caught on to these guys. In a way the Beatles were a curse. After Beatlemania the U.S. wouldn't give great artists like The Move and Wizzard a chance. They saw them as Beatle ripoffs.

[MattHatter]

@donn409: Yeah that could have been the case. Their manager didn't help them with his publicity stunts. He could have been focusing on getting the band a tour of the U.S. in 1967 instead of that whole postcard of the prime minister thing! They were on a major label here in the U.S., A&M Records but the band didn't release the debut album until April of 1968 when they had been issuing singles since Dec. of '66. Whereas The Who found the right time to strike, The Move didn't.

[donn409]

@MattHatter Another group I loved that should've gotten more credit was ELO. They were also looked at as Beatles ripoffs as were Badfinger.

[totovillefranche]

Uschi was so beautiful way back when.....Beatclub got started

[lkijju]

superb footage, not heard the song for over 30 years. thanks for putting it on.

[no1elofan]

Jeff Lynne kind of looks like Jeff Foxworthy with an afro in this.

[wickaboo]

sounds a little like mountain

[kevink82]

Anyone have "Lightning Strikes" that they can post? I believe it was off the same album.

[ChefDeenoh]

Sorry, but Lightning Strikes was not on "Looking On", at least in the states.

[FinnMove]

The original Looking on LP didn´t include

Lightning Never Strikes Twice. But it´s

included in many later CD- versions.

[ChefDeenoh]

Yes, just seven songs on the LP.1: Looking On, Turkish Tram Conductor Blues, What?, When Alice Comes Back To The Farm, 2: Open Up Siad The World At The Door, Brontosaurus, Feel To Good."Feel too good, What can you do, what can you do.."

[FinnMove]

Although all the seven tracks are Moveish

can you imagine seven so different songs

in one album ? The last one is surely

recorded by only two takes. Only Wood and

Lynne are playing on Feel too Good. Espacially

the long last episode sounds very improvisal.

[ChefDeenoh]

F.T.G. is my favorite from the album, Bev's tophat work and drums, the falsettos,the rushing beat that just keeps on picking up speed, the oboe! Crazy.

[shleml]

Thats Jeff on the drums on Feel Too Good.

[ChefDeenoh]

Interesting, thanks for the info.

[HazMatCFO]

Jeff loved the drop D tuning.

[lastangelman]

Whatever happened to the second part of the song?

[jeanhebuterne]

Always loved this, The Move were great. Anybody remember When Alice comes back to the farm?

[bernard35]

brilliant tune

[mbarsky]

Totally amazing how, after 30+ years of being a hardcore ELO fan, that there are still great segments like this that come to light. Thanks for the great post!
