John Lawton, Glenn Hughes & David Coverdale - Love is all

[stillofthenightcl]

All greats, all legends, but Ronnie's version is by far better :) The little man can handle alone.

[jonsilence]

Jobson on violin!

[fbendz]

Nice to see three of the greatest hard rock vocalists (all in their own respect) performing in the same song!

[GreenerHill]

What a concert. Almost wish I'd been old enough to go to gigs in '75. :) Roger Glover must be a great bloke - inviting his replacement in Purple to come along and shine shows he's pretty mature.

John Lawton---The Best

[LucasVonHoffmann]

Kinda confusing camera work, isn't it? I kept hoping to catch a better look at coverdale and hughes during the whole video..

[BoardgameBaker]

John Lawton is probably the only man in the universe that could do this song justice, apart from RJD. Good choice, Mr. Glover!

[antsdick]

Very much the beatles. Very good but not as good

[JWOLFPACK]

Glenn Hughes... and Roger Glover on the same stage? this is a rare occurance.

[oporuy]

Should be as famous as The Last Waltz for crying out loud! Even with no Dio this was THE show to see!

[HW4X]

All You Need Is Love...70's version.

[ancika]

Neverovatno! <3

[supperbowl43]

DIO, HUGHES , COVERDALE. ??

Have the album but no player..

[Marceloony]

John Lawton canta pra caralho : SYMPATHY

[poppydoux]

Dommage qu'il n'y ait aucun producteur suffisamment inspiré pour remettre au goût du jour cette comédie musicale qui n'a été joué qu'en de rares occasions, la crise économique due au premier choc pétrolier ayant eu raison du projet confié au compositeur-bassiste de Deep Purple, Roger Glover. L'album bénéficie des voix de Coverdale et Dio (entre autres) et est absolument énorme !!

[faustoj26a]

DIO is the most powerful voice and the perfect frontman for every kind of music..and thats just DIO can do it. Lawton havs such an amazing, insane!!! voice...hughes in my opinion its good but not amazing...and coverdale its one of those who sing with excellence

[fbendz]

@faustoj26a I actually think Lawton does this song better than Dio!

[SPECTRE1961]

VIOLINS BY :

MASTER JOBSON !

[LPcustom76]

les freakin binks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[misstooper99]

That model in the beginning, was that Twiggy?

[fbendz]

Yes it's Twiggy!

And, yes, Dio has a wonderful voice and the version with Lawton is just as good (Gillan doesn't reach Dio's standards on Sitting in a Dream). I think the three albums Lawton did with Heep was a disappointment. Too bad Hensley was going in the wrong direction with his keyboards at the time. (More today's pop-synth sound than Hammond B3 with Moog). Otherwise they would have done some magic together!

[mnunezper]

totally, lawton could be an historic singer, but he didnt got the chances... anyway you just need to hear him some seconds to realize how good he is. I love his bluesy style

[fbendz]

I totally agree with you. Actually, the best songs with him in Uriah Heep were not the rockers, but the more bluesy and souly songs, like Wise Man, and ballads such as Come Back to Me. The more rocky tunes sound thin from time to time, He totally rocked with Lucifer's Friend, but it's in the softer songs his voice becomes magical.

[AustinFenderStrat]

this is awesome

[taragalinas]

Lawton is amazing!

[gte2000]

Would that be Mick Kaminsky (ELO) on violin?

I've got the original single of this but never realised that it was ever performed live.

Great to hear John Lawton - one of the most underrated singers ever and he sounds a lot like Ronnie James Dio (who song on the record).

Thanks for posting this!

[InterZlatan8]

@gte2000

I think it's Eddie Jobson on violin

Great fun this. Chaos can be fun

[JaBluRo835]

At my opinion Roger Glover is perfect! But is this concert on DVD?

[kesseli]

Yes it is. You can find it by googling Butterfly Ball DVD.

[TeamBCC1]

Check out Glenn Hughes New music video. pretty good. ----> youtube.com/watch?v=hy6WLBvBXa­I

[nazzare79]

John Lawton, Glenn Hughes, David Coverdale, Jhon Gustafson, Mo Foster, Roger Glover, Ian Gillan, Dio on the same project...simply the best musicians of the 70 for a masterpiece of an album!

[Vinnydrum]

Is that Les Binks on drums?

[guitarlawyer75]

I watched John Lawton on frebruary. He's still amazing.

[guitarlawyer75]

Those three are my favorite singers of the 70's, along with Dio.

[midnighttilldawn]

Along with Dio? he was a 70's singer too you know Elf/Rainbow.

[guitarlawyer75]

yes, I know. I just didn't express myself well. Dio is amazing. He still sings as well as he did 30 years ago

[dokkenroll]

lo mejor que he visto muy pasado john lewton uyy

[PB4UEAT]

ahhhhhh yes...The Butterfly Ball....cool stuff...strange but cool.

[mjw191]

Try pop during the 70s..hes definitely in there. Have you thought about jazz or fusion to extend what youre listening to now? Its not everyones cup of tea, but itll open you up to what other artists have/are doing, especially if youre a musician yourself.

[mjw191]

Whatever...the traffic awaits you!! Its nice to be able to appreciate different artists and different styles of music..oh wait..you wouldnt know what thats like!!

[midnighttilldawn]

Different styles..?

In my collection I have music ranging from..

Blues/Rock n Roll/Country & Western/Heavy Rock..and Pop ranging frm 60's to today..unfortunately no David Essex..I bought 1 single by him but I no longer have it.

[mjw191]

You can just tell there would have been rampant sex at the end of this concert..LOL!! I wonder who got to bone Twiggy???

[midnighttilldawn]

You just watched a video with some of rock's greatest names giving a great performance..and that's all you can think of...you sad little twat...may I suggest you grow up before you comment again?

I Am now awaiting your reply calling me some nice names.

[mjw191]

Grow a sense of humour before one attacks you..dickhead! You dont think I love these musicians? Some of those guys have been huge influences in the music I choose to listen to. Get over yourself..you sad little twat! If thats all youve got to comment about...fuck off and let the rest of us enjoy the vids.

[midnighttilldawn]

I see you didn't disappoint me.

You call your comment humour.?..tell me when to laugh.

" All we need is love and understanding "

[mjw191]

Touche!! I see we have a shit stirrer in our ranks..do us all a favour and go play in the traffic.

Now if you dont mind, Id like to watch this in peace.

[midnighttilldawn]

Stick to David Essex mate..more your style...this is real music.

[stomp919]

A whole lotta wankin goin on! But i digress..... Lawton Hughes and Coverdale rule!

[guitarlawyer75]

THat was a time when people made real music

[Luiginoy]

the great work of roger glover...amazing

[MrBuzzbee74]

Dio sings it better. Pity he didn't turn up for the gig.

[bessadale]

Yeah, but I love this version also, this "rock and roll celebration" feeling makes me wish I had been alive in the 70s.

[OldSteamer]

i think they sound really close, didnt? :)

[babybear62]

Wow I remember this song back way back in the 70s.

[royalhunt69]

what drugs are these people on

[matthewzpek]

Love is all to become the world's athem : who agrees ?

[OldSteamer]

agree !:)

[bessadale]

@matthewzpek YES

[znotty]

see, Dio really is the greatest.

[enriquekc]

De Puta Madre el video, el disco y todo el proyecto Butterfly Ball... Thanks man, you made me dream again with those days.... it's simply gorgeous.

[bedfardious]

wots the odds they all ad a big orgy after this.......i bet david was hoping so!

[stillofthenightcl]

@bedfardious That's for sure! You can see some of them are already begin at 4:41...

[bzaluh]

It sure is different over in england this is like some alice in rock &roll acid trip wonderland video [ great early footage] of some of englands finest rockers.

[ALLexanderKPP]

Nice!Really wonderfool!

[simonsblackmore]

roger sure is having fun

[matthewzpek]

Roger Glover playing the guitar..

this man is the greatest ever. he made Butterfly Ball. He made people dream.

this video is fantastic... I do love this song and I had never heard this version. awesome, really awesome..

[Hamerguy68]

The guy on bass is not Jeff Lynne, that is Mo Foster (Jeff Beck, Michael Schenker, session). The other musicians to be seen in this clip are Les Binks on drums (later in Judas Priest), Ray Fenwick (from Spencer Davis, Ian Gillan Band) - guitar, Jon Lord - keyboard, Eddie Jobson (then in Roxy Music) - violin, Mark Nauseef (Elf, Ian Gillan Band) is the guy with the tambourine

[hipikeyes]

very good .the guys r awesome

[anyaloca]

david coverdale es mejor cantante

[mnunezper]

=s mejor q quien

[svalenga]

pure magic! coverdale, dio, great guys! God bless you!!! 4 ever!

[tuvuca]

Dio is not there, but John Lawton sounds exactly like him.

[GrandiLive]

no dio ....is john lawton...

[rideon77]

Lawton sounds A LOT like Dio. If you want to watch Graham bonnet singing this go to my channel.

[midnighttilldawn]

I looked on your channel..it's not there..did you remove it?

[programatrilhadorock]

incrivel!!

[dryianni74]

Is that Twiggy on the girls' choir?

[seventiesclassic]

Yup !

[MrSc0rpi0n]

Glenn Hughes rocks! and so Lawton!

[VictorGuilherme]

And so does Coverdale!

[titustiti]

He missed the begining of his part...

[frymahhide1982]

yep that's Eddie Jobson on violin...this is some of my favorite stuff on YouTube...I like the footage where Coverdale sings "behind the smile" and is (endearingly) ill at ease...this is fun stuff

[paulodomic]

John Lawton did wonderful on this one, Ronnie Dio is a genius, but I really don't miss him here!!

[CsemTam]

This is absolutely brilliant stuff! I love the Butterfly Ball! Do you have any more of this gig?

John Lawton sounds quite good doing Dio's parts.

Is that Eddie Jobson on violin? And is that Jeff Lynne on bass?

[kesseli]

I've got the whole concert with two versions of this song. There's too much cartoons and other stuff instead of filming the show... I don't know anything about the line-up.

[scotsmaninusa]

@kesseli main band is Mo Foster on bass, Ray Fenwick on guitar and Les Binks on drums with on Lord, Tony Ashton, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Ian Gillan, John Gustafson, Eddie Jobson, John Lawton, Eddie Hardin,Roger Glover,Twiggy,Helen Chapelle, Liza Strike, Barry St.John,Rogers then wife Judi Kuhl,Chris Karan and Mark Nauseef on percussion. Mickey Lee Soule , Earl Jordan, Al Matthews, Neil Lancaster and believe it or not Vincent Price

[kevinandrewmoore]

@CsemTam Its roger glover on bass - who wrote the whole thing!

[scotsmaninusa]

@kevinandrewmoore Roger is playing an acoustic in this clip,that certainly isn't him on bass.

[kevinandrewmoore]

@scotsmaninusa Yep, scotsman, you're right ( too lazy to watch carefully!) Some say it's Mo Foster, some say its Gustafson - both on the album and both bassists...in fact, when you factor in Hughes as well, the whole of BB was probably the bass players finest hour! :-)

[scotsmaninusa]

@kevinandrewmoore yeah Gustafson has straight hair so thats Mo on bass here.I just posted the whole line up for the night,or what I think it was anyway.

cheers

[scotsmaninusa]

@CsemTam the main band for the night is Mo Foster on bass, Ray Fenwick on guitar and Les Binks on drums
