[bluzxyox]

Get back on my lawn, you gnomes!!!

[spacemanbose]

[zyphod]

This brings back some memories - Saw them a long time ago at the Cheltenham town Hall, .........totally off my head. Such a great band, they just don't make em like this anymore!

[emsvtv]

Thanks for uploading this, fantastic footage of an amazing band.

[RURALWARROOM]

[TheNEK1995]

The best...tops

[wk4max]

this is what iv,e been trying to find footage of a young gong band with steve hillage and pierre moerlen amazing ...wow.....nice one..ta !

[terrypussypower]

This reminds me of seeing Mother Gong, Crystal Machine and Steve Hillage at Glastonbury in 1979, aahhhhh.. those were the days !

[pfaffman100]

I have been collecting Gong since first listening to them, they are truly one of the best music makers of the century.

[bufu23bufu]

Great upload, what a treasure!

[beachbuddhamusic]

Oh my gosh! I had to respond. This is such a precious post! Thanx, thanx and thanx again. I rememember my girlfriend and I not being able to get off the the ceiling for an eternity listening to this album. One of the strongest feelings in my life. Magic post to actually see a vid from that time. A GEM. Love, Peace to all you space cadets and all that stuff.

[stevevegetable]

amazing musicians and beautiful people.no band can take you to everywhere like gong can.

[shldnbschmn]

man, they could be tight at times...

[shldnbschmn]

wicked, wicked...

[sitjar]

Incredible performance. TIght as fuck, not too far from the record in all respects.

[gugomayora]

waaaaooo...lo mejor que vi en mi vida

[DrGonzoOBoogie]

great video

[Darhobo123]

Awesome, glad to see 70's Gong footage on here!

[MONSTERGIANNETZ]

magic moment in the golden age of rock..

[dermotoblong]

i'll get my rizlas..

[seangreensean]

;)

[me1onhead]

Nice one STREETWORM! I thouroughly enjoyed that....Gong were way ahead of the game in my opinion

[claudiusme]

super vidéo, la composition idéale du GONG pour moi,,,pierre moerlen batteur, mike howlett bassiste, excellente rythmique, steeve hillage gratteu, didier malherbe sax, ca demenage, venux de lux keybord et Monsieur David allen ::::: respect !!!!

[FOCtv]

OK, as if I needed another reason to think Gong is great!

[kujo839]

Save this for the next generations !

[TwistedAnvil]

I love, love, love the fact that they change a lot of the lyrics in their various live shows, I think it keeps it really fresh :P

[Lordstanleyenglish]

I've been waiting for this studio quality early recording of Gong for ages now,

fecking awesome man.

[tumshfibrox58]

The best thing I've ever seen on Youtube. This is fabulous!!!!!! Thanks a million for posting it. Consider yourself henceforth a top person.

[enigmadroid]

The word Love is inadequate.

[treatstation]

i can handle this i really can

and i love it

[miguepdvoraks]

psicodelia? Gong!

[gnowave]

the synth noises would still sound perfectly fin in modern psytrance! (which aint too much of a suprise) but the quality here is excellent. and check daevid out! hee hee hee, he looks totally diferent with that make up on! and he knows it. funny guy, and a very good guy. love the drum and bass playing. tight.

[tonkehar]

Gong will blow your mind in a nice sweet way!

[enigmadroid]

I love you Gongulators!

[htcstech]

Great live performance - almost identical to their recorded track.

[stomachlining]

great find

[Magmamommie]

Anybody notice Daevid changed the ending here? "That's another story, now it's time to go and have a cup of tea see" becomes "That's another story, now it's time to go and smoke another roach." And the mischievous look on his face after!

[tonkehar]

sAW gong DO THIS SHOW LIVE IN 1973 AT THE bABYLON a GO a GO.... iM STILL SEEING FLYING TEApOTS......hI IN THE SKY..bYE...bYE!

[tonkehar]

lOVE THE pOT hEAD PIXIES....PHP

[Ragnemalm]

Genius madman! Totally unique, nothing sounds like Allen. But it is sad that Pink Floyd could have been as crazy if Barrett had stayed. He was somewhat like Allen but couldn't handle it. Allen didn't ruin himself and is still playing after more than 40 years.

[yug23]

C'est fantastique! J'aime beaucoup le Camembert Électrique!

Please post the Witch Song footage if you have it :)

[psychupmelodies]

My favourite antidepressant :P

[55mandreck]

Daevid Allen - the greatest conducter of all the psychedelic groups . . . I would love to see him conduct a full orchestra of pschedelic musicians . . . long live Gong and the magic of music . and the light of love and peace . . Thanks so much for this magic .x

[75009clement]

Huuum...Y'a boooooon! vu Gong en 1974... "You"......avec Tim Blake..Bruford et toute la bande..une lumière bleutée, au ralenti ils sont arrivès sur scène comme des Mimes Marceau....Bloomdido avec une baguette à la main dont il extraira ....une flûte, bien sûr. je ne m'en suis heureusement jamais remis, après Hawkwind, et Stacia dansant nue l'année d'avant..

Peter et Genesis décrochera la timbale côté "Spectacle total"...dommage, le seul groupe franco-anglais, ç'aurait été bien fou, non?

[hippibass]

Dioooosss!!! Me encanta es un puto crack!!!!! Como adoro a este grupo!!

[FastAndCheap]

image and sound is freakin good thank you

[lynus111]

I see where Flavor Flav stole the clok from...what time is it Daevid! ;D

[enigmadroid]

This is officially going on my "music to play at my funeral" list.

[NoelGrassy]

@enigmadroid,

How you gonna Glid pushing up daisies mate? Enjoy the vibe during yer one way trip. It'll help to super-impose

Didier's riff over Hillage's glid groove when yer ears make that behavior life affirming. This assumes you have a musical bent of some sort. The data our offices can confirm indicate no recognizable melodies in the hereafter. No Conga lines either. Bummer on that front...The positive side is no one gets their hand stamped

for in & out privileges so somethings cool...

[enigmadroid]

@NoelGrassy and the bass is rilly too massive to coagulate contraceptively

[MrFzappafan]

@enigmadroid funny I was thinking the same thing

[martine01310]

@enigmadroid j'y pensai moi aussi!Camembert électrique à mon enterrement! génial!!!(traduction: I was thinking about that: to play Gong at my funeral!!!! bye!

[Crispy32]

@enigmadroid I'm with you there



[rob16248]

I didn't think anything would surprise me anymore from the hippie ethos having been into it since I was a kid in the 80's, but...WALLOP!!!

[wonkyfaceshirty]

Oh.....my......gold dust!

[Aziaiza]

In trying to describe them to me my boyfriend used the phrase "really high" a lot. I guess this video backs him up.

[MrLucaluca85]

greaaaat!

[hamsterstavros]

daddy daddy , what is spacerock ? GONG ....

[Spillage66]

Bought the DVD a few months ago. Excellent! Some very rare footage of Gong in Sens, going about their day to day business, in the kitchen, garden, and in the forest. "Pierre is taking care of the money at the moment. Drummers are like that, decicive and precise. "Can I have money for shampoo? No!" "HAHA!

[CRAIGANJOS]

@Spillage66 hello do you mind if I ask the name of the DVD and where it's available I NEED to get hold of it! Im a lifelong PHP myself and have seen GonG & Daevid(Bert Camembert,Dingo virgin) live many times most recently with hillfish,bambaloni yoni,shakti yoni,moonweed etc they are still the best religion to be part of....

[Spillage66]

@CRAIGANJOS Gong - French TV 1971-1973 (DVD)

at gonzomultimedia.co.uk Happy viewing. :)

[seangreensean]

look at gong appreciate  website. they sell dvds of rare footage...

[seangreensean]

cool. did you post any more of that?

[patriciahue]

My english is very bad, sorry Streetworm 14. I understand but I prefer the french language to write? to speek? to say you others things...J'ai le vinyl sous les yeux et depuis 1974 il ne m'a pas quittée. J'avais 18 ans à cette époque! Et never, je ne me suis lassée! Incredible isn'it? I 'm toujours pianiste choriste même si "time is hard" in France for the musicians. Thanks for your good answer!

[patriciahue]

Bah oui! C'était l' bon temps. Aucun doute quand je vois ces images que je ne connaissais pas. J'écoute l'album "you" régulièrement et vous?

[STREETWORM14]

@patriciahue While I've been a long time fan of so many other bands (Hawkwind, etc.), I've only discovered Gong fairly recently. I'm listening to "You" right now for the first time and I'm blown away! Thanks for turning me on to this album!

[tie32101]

@STREETWORM14

Wow I'm 17. I grew up with the Angels Egg album all my life.

[gorgozonn]

@STREETWORM14 Wow...I am in the exact same boat, I absolutely love Hawkwind and other kraut/space greats, but never heard of Gong. Just downloaded "You," and just saw this and I can't even go pee I'm so excited!!! This video is amazing.

[Mikemaniax]

@STREETWORM14 Same here. I've known about Gong for a while, but I never really got into them until a few weeks ago.

[Mikemaniax]

Where did you find this footage anyway?

[SuperNobby65]

@STREETWORM14 Shamal is pretty good too , off to see the hawks myself next week 15th time , good times

[Dogsbreath83151]

@STREETWORM14

I saw Gong on the Angels Egg tour - must have been 1970 something - not sure- they were absolutely awesome - have never forgot it.

[terrypussypower]

@STREETWORM14 If you like this you should check out Dashiell Hedayat's album called 'Obsolete', a Gong album in all but name, and Daevid Allens' solo album 'Good Morning', both amazing in their own way !

[vernet84]

@patriciahue Le bon temps....quelle créativité. J'écoutais il y a plus de 30 ans Gong et j'écoute toujours. Surtout you qui reste l'album le plus abouti....un chef d'oeuvre

[patriciahue]

@vernet84 Oui!

Surtout you. Je suis bien de ton avis et d'ailleurs je m''en sers une rasade tout en te répondant.

[barbatruc06]

@patriciahue Salut! Je rêvais de voir Gong en concert au moins une fois dans ma vie eh bien je les ai vus 5 fois! oui j'écoute leurs albums régulièrement ! Vive GONG!

[villonstephane]

@patriciahue moi aussi, c'est un des meilleur.

[patriciahue]

@villonstephane Pour ma part, c'est bien le meilleur et à la réflexion c'est aussi parce qu'il est associé à d'excellents souvenirs de jeunesse... Un manque d'objectivité? Pas trop! You est vraiment excellent. Je persiste et je signe.

[antonjjok]

@patriciahue You is in my topo ten list

[tutusonor]

@antonjjok Well! Like me. I have a question for you: do you know "Bedjabetch"? No lyrics. Instrumental only. What do you think about?

[patriciahue]

@antonjjok oh! in your topo ten list , good Antonjjok! . About Bedjabetch? It's a french group. I know very well because I was the pianist!!! The World is small...

[martine01310]

[highteasteve]

Classic gong. Heard it existed but never saw it. Great footage of hillage, Tim Blake, mike howlett, Pierre and daevid

[hmsmagpie]

Hilarious, absurd and totally entrancing!

[damdidam]

A rather strange and eventually subliminal kind of erotism, that part around 3:24...

[atariboy666]

1 person has never glid before...

[eunicefinger]

ohgoodness! oh gong! thanks for uploading.pierre moerlen was a drumming god!
