James Last - Silver Machine

[bloozmonkey111]

Sounds great ! Pity it's a bit out of sync.

[MyAxolotl]

Er,, This is actually Good, 

[simulakkron]

hansi last... the real spacegod!!!

[urgaul]

hot love  is besser

[urgaul]

sauber mann das gibst doch nicht ??

[BreekieMe]

Dave Brock will be 70 years young on Saturday! I wonder if he remembers this "tribute" haha!

[MossleyJardinier]

Anyone else notice the stage invasion? At around 1:54, what appears to be 2 middle-aged Germans climb up on to stage right and then stand there looking vaguely embarrassed. They're ignored by the trombone section and appear to be clutching shopping bags.

[Musicex54]

@MossleyJardinier It`s a camera man and a "cable" man

[senorleloup]

He he he, the 70's had a lot to answer for....

[RogerPymp]

I know you've heard lots and lots of times about hawkwind but ive never commented on James Last. He was a very formal kind of gentleman, always liked to dress for dinner. And this is one of the songs he came up with..there pretty good aren't they 0__0. I think there pretty good anyway.

[kronos66]

This borders on greatness!

[buttholeboyz]

All the while Mr Last stands there finger poppin like your dad at a party - are you f*ckin kiddin with this?

[affectionatepunch]

The question i would like to ask Mr Last is Why?

[edwardszzz]

@sbits what is a buff jerkin?

[edwardszzz]

@sbits I was passing judgement on James Last's violations. Not on on Hawkwind.

[JesusSatanAllah]

Good stuff

[sbilts]

This is like a bull in reverse, the horns at the back and the arsehole at the front...but fair play to them for doing this tune to cringe along to....love to hear Hawkwind do one of James's tunes....thanks for posting the vid.........

[slimtimslide]

this is actually pretty great!

[rockerbox1973]

oh for crying out loud is nothing sacred?

[skunkhead2006]

actually not bad.......

[pitipit1000]

Jaa ZAPPEL Giants

[WatchRyder]

Golden times in the 1970s...

That's when a lot of us landed.

A shame things turned out so crap by the 1990s...

[EDWARDBASTARDHITLER]

wunderbar

[mikew4001]

Wonderful a real Krautrock classic! I grew with that swinging acid sound on TV, lol...

[shaftsbury94]

cant remember this on his party greats album

[DJM3189]

There's Wrong....and there's JUST WRONG!

[MrScumwhisperer]

Thats where Hawkwind fucked up- no brass section! Sonic Attack with trumbones - scary.

[lovecraft36]

@MrScumwhisperer LOL, it kind of works, James Last on Acid..

[edwardszzz]

Kraut rock sucks

[sbilts]

@edwardszzz  Hawkwind are Space Rock and not from Germany you buff jerkin....

[pehesch]

At first I thought "oh noooooo! They're going to butcher it!" But I have to say I kind of like it with horns....

[AngelicGunrunner]

@pehesch Same here, I was sure this was going to be more than a li'l bit of turkey, but the groove is damn righteous, they actually carry it off. Very good horns and guitar solo.

[xHeadcleanerx]

James Last - one happenin' dude.

[Heuri1]

James Blast playing The Wind...like a peice of shit covered sandpaper sidling up to an oak tree and saying...turn yourselves into furniture and I'll make you famous.

Fucking soda drinking waz!

Lovely Soda Drink nein?

NEIN!

[kreuhnkohrman]

re: who are those guys playing with Mr Last anyway?

members of Lucifer's Friend:

[Smithfieldis]

who are those guys playing with Mr Last anyway? 

[MrFrontallobotomy]

Jesus H Christ what the fuck is this!

[Black4Skull]

Not bad I still prefer hawkwinds version better

[twantimmermans]

Ge-wel-dig!

[dolly11001]

deze is xtra tof is er ook een ska versie

[ReiderWyshak35286]

You can grab the audio-mp3 of this song at grabyourmp3s doht cohm.

[cygnusxl5]

'Lasty' Needs To Blaze Up A Few More Joints and The 'Feel' of 'Hawkwind Music' Will Come Naturally!! The Addition of Daevid Allen To His Orchestra Would Also Help!!

Joking Aside Not A Bad Version!!

[Theophilus200]

S'aright, but it takes 16 squares to produce a fairly bland version of what 5 or 6 hippies in Hawkwind could do with more energy and style.... ;-))

[MrFloydianSlip]

If Lawrence Welk dropped a few tabs,this would be the result..lol

[wufpac1983]

@MrFloydianSlip I started laughing so hard, I was hurting, great comment !...

[TheShazbotnanunanu]

Wenn Sie nicht sehen wollen, die in dieser Größe sind Sie ein Kot Esser

[leegee23]

This is the worst and funniest thing I have ever heard! THANKS FREAK!

[muscarines]

groooovy! sonic attack would be a nice cover for the band!

[jmayon]

Where is the clip with the air raid siren??? I saw it a couple of days ago, but can't find it now.

[alanr1963]

Sorry Peter, found this and couldn't help but post it. A reminder that there was a dark underbelly to the 70's music scene and this is it - the noughties has Xfactor and the 70's had light entertainment, 2 sides of the same tarnished coin!

[tiddilywinks3]

@MrMeddled

Because it's fun.

Dosn't need any.

Because it's out of sync.

Why are you wasting your time watching and commentating on things you don't like, come to think of it , why am I wasting my time replying?

[quillian100]

So this is geography teachers do in there spare time..

[moonkeele]

OMG this acid must be good.. I just hallucinated that I saw James Last doing Siver Machine.

[LoveGunSex]

@moonkeele LOL! :'D

[Muwt]

There ya go, kids. That's what NOT taking drugs did to people in the 70s. Just say yes.

[docbreaknik]

i actully dreamt this!..... mental

[Weirdbald]

Strangest video I've ever seen on Youtube, and that's saying a lot. Not that it's particularly bad, of course - it proves that anything went in the 70s, and that everyone looked like a hippie back then. Priceless.

[flotser]

why is Last shaking his wrist like he's wanking to his own music? i thought conductors were supposed to make big gestures. come to think of it, why is he standing there at all?

[thechriswheelie]

@flotser Because James Last is, and always will be, the new Stacia Blake. With a beard.

[Nobodie92]

To polished for my taste maybe LSD would help.

[briantheslug]

Nice version, don't see a fucking problem, very german

[bongobeardy]

[solarfire1000]

Ach du Scheisse. Hat James Last da gekifft?

[MetalsvinKKP]

absolutely priceless, and wonderfully subversive!

James Last proves that he is the undisputed "Party-König" of the world!!!!

[solar7]

and Hugh's going well on that solo too.. the piano too gets a thumbs up plus from us

[solar7]

clearly James got into the role and took far too much acid to be able to manage the vocals..

[CrankCase08]

I think I just entered an antiseptic, surreal parallel universe.

[BarneyBubbles23]

is this for real im pissin meself,lemmy has let himself go since he wentsober lmfaooooo

[uncleambient]

This is so cool

[hawketc]

Bizzarre, but it works :o)

[PuptoPetra]

Needs more heavy drumming at about 0:24 & 1:53 etc.

[JDB59]

I imagine the looks on the faces of the residents of the nursing homes as this is piped in. There must have been a lot of spilled cottage cheese and cling peaches that day I would wager.

[uncleambient]

Your comment made me laugh out loud, cottage cheese and cling peaches !! :)

[Nanobots]

That is fuckin BRRRRRRRRRilliant!!!!

James Last is kinda special

[Redthing65]

I'm nicking that guitar solo. Love the boogie-woogie piano too....

[gerrabath]

HA! Fantastic :-)

[WizardofFuzz]

this is so damn funny... what might the hawks have thougt about it?

i still don't get it... james is just standing there snipping his fingers! imagine simon rattle standing in front of the Berlin Philharmonics just snippin' his damn fingers?!

[hawklord68]

Mind blowing.Nice solo.

[carlsefni]

That's ... amazing ....

Truly, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in Horatio's (or anyone else's) philosophies!

[uncleambient]

Tell me this is a dream?

[Perdurabo418]

A classic!!! :)

[DanMingo]

Priceless!

[MrFarout]

I appear to be living in a parallel universe!!!

[daveoxton]

HOLY FECKIN CHRIST!!!!!!!!!

[MrFarout]

JEEZUZ H. CHRIST!!!!!

[rhabarberkompott]

great brass arrangement .

[RICOBLAB]

Disturbingly like the theme from minder with a bit of chaz n dave thrown in.

[mattSTOCK1974]

Interesting!

[Spaceshiptechnician]

Brilliant.

[superlast]

That is priceless! Love it!

[uncleambient]

Tell me this is a dream!!

[lixxiemc]

awesome piano solo !

[zodiacbluesbaby]

Is that Nik Turner in the black waistcoat?!

[theylive23]

Guitar solo pretty rockin' but James Last needs to work on his Stacia impression.

[tegrimm]

LMAO...I havent laughed so hard at a comment in YEARS!

[artlesclark]

@theylive23

thought hes a big enough tit as it is hahaha
