BBC Prog Rock Britannia (2 of 9)

[Lurtzman1]

6:00 is Emerson wearing Jimi Hendrix's hat?

[greatjob13]

..."Set the controls for the heart of classical music..."

I see what they did there.

[musicmovie240]

Is the song at 2:15 by Jimi Hendrix, or is it by someone else who's playing sounds like Hendrix? Also, what's it called?

[TheGargoyleLives]

@musicmovie240 Gypsy Eyes-Jimi Hendrix

[musicmovie240]

@TheGargoyleLives Thanks, that one was really gnawing at me.

[vivelavidarocka]

Thanks to Prog I don't need to use and never used drugs. Best natural high.

I do smoke weed, BUT I don't do drugs.

[rodyle1313]

@vivelavidarocka Weed is still a drug.

[7merkaba7]

@rodyle1313 That's what they told you, from what i see, it's a plant, a beautiful plant

[rodyle1313]

@7merkaba7 Broadly speaking, a drug is a substance which, when absorbed into the body, alter normal bodily function. By that definition, weed is definitely a drug (or, if you want to be pendantic: tetrahydrocannabinol is).

[AgentMurphy286]

@rodyle1313 If you're gonna speak broadly, then of course I'm going to assume that you're including caffine, booze, sugar, infact EVERYTHING is a drug under that definition. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm pointing out that the definition of drug should be a bit less vague. Weed is still a wonderful plant regardless if it's a drug or not. Medical-wise and recreational. But focus on the documentary instead, that's why we're here.

[musicmovie240]

What's the name of the song at 2:13?

[RedPetrol76]

6:30

[DBZmetaldude2]

Oh Prog, how I love thee.

[SSJkiller]

Prog rock is a stoner miracle.

[MegaPixelGamer]

Oh never mind, I figured out the song starting at 6:02 is "Magic Man" by Caravan.

[MegaPixelGamer]

6:02 Anyone? I'm very interested in figuring out what that song is!

[SX1995able]

Whats the genre of music that starts at 1:00? I know it`s some form of Classical, but I`m not sure what.;

[passtheyemen]

Man..whats that organ song through a wah @ 6:19?! Great BBC stuff! thanks, mate!

[Criddington]

Love Robert Wyatt - he and Bill Bruford are my favourite drummers! - his take on girls is excellent: Where were they? They were in cafes. What were they doing? Sitting there. :)

[DarksideOFcollages]

I am amazed how much Procum Harum Arthur Brown was included.

[tinaturntable]

Need to know the song @ 8:40 PLEASE!!!!!



[KingSandwell]

@tinaturntable Soft Machine-We Did It Again. its off their first album.

[tinaturntable]

@KingSandwell Thank you soooo much! x

[tinaturntable]

Please could someone tell me what the tune @ 8.40 was please!

[KingSandwell]

what is the song at 8:40? it has a cool groove to it

[tinaturntable]

@KingSandwell I wanna know the name of that tune too!

[tinaturntable]

Robert Wyatt was a honey!

[paperpichu]

What about Gentle Giant?

[Matshoppahulle]

@paperpichu I listened to a lot of prog, but not Gentle Giant. Just checked out, a couple of songs here.

Only ok. Can you recommend a couple of top songs?

My favorites today are Camel and King Crimson. I think they stood the test of time the best.

Jon Andersons solo: Olias of Sunhillow, is great too

[paperpichu]

@Matshoppahulle Some good examples of GG: Proclamation, Interview, Knots, Peel the Paint. Those are some of my favorite songs by Gentle Giant.

[Matshoppahulle]

@paperpichu Thanks, very good music! I am from Sweden, i do not think they were

very well known here. They should be!!

[paperpichu]

Why have they not said anything about Gentle Giant?

[gideon7446]

prog rock the best!!!

[michbeck88]

Really cool that my comm got banned for too many negative votes, its always more hip to be hated! And again, Synth Pop was like the awakening of the long cold nightmare of 70s Prog Rock

[DelgiftC08]

@michbeck88 It´s evident that your mind isn´t up to Prog Rock. Not an easy genre to listen to, but rich in musical knowledge and creativity, and it´s only appreciated if the listener is patient and willing to make it a part of oneself.

[vivelavidarocka]

@DelgiftC08 Well said! We proggers are from a different breed. A bit too complex if you ask me. Everything we listen, read or watch has to be multidimensional. Sometimes I had felt like putting a patch on my third eye and live life a bit easier. But I think I would had had regrets if I had actually done it.

[DelgiftC08]

@vivelavidarocka When I was a teenager I was always and excuse for laughs to my school partners because they had no idea what Prog Rock was all about. I had to go through that pretty rough time and, as you said, thought that maybe everything would be easier if I just stop being a part of it. But fortunately, it was only that, just a vague thought. Now even most of my ex-school partners respect me and appreciate me the way I´ve always been. :)

[johnmcgra]

Can someone tell me the song at 6.43 please???

[BenPittoors]

@johnmcgra Impotence (Wilde Flowers) it's on youtube but it won't let me post the link for some reason

[johnmcgra]

@BenPittoors Thanks very much!

This documentary has introduced me to the wonders of caravan and soft machine, so I'm pretty interested in checking out the wilde flowers

[foutupourfoutu]

What was the classical piece at 1:16?

[YNGareduNord]

@foutupourfoutu It's Dumbarton Oaks, by Stravinsky.

[tommorellorules]

Who is the guy at 1:41?

[ShiivaWilding]

@tommorellorules Rick Wakeman, keyboard player for Yes on a few albums and The Strawbs prior to that

[yootesa1515]

this is great. this doc speaks to me !!

[lamecasuelas2]

i never get tyred of watching this documentary

[namaste91]

Wow,what a beautiful city Canterbury isWhere one of the best phases of Prog started...I think,i'm there next year.

[jonsilence]

MONT CAMPBELL!!!!!

[gingerb91]

@michbeck88 You have to listen with an open mind.

...dumbass.

[Rockshift999]

@gingerb91 couldn't have said better myself. : )

[Matshoppahulle]

@michbeck88 It is better to keep quiet, and be suspected of being stupid, than opening your mouth and confirming it.

Regardless of musical taste, there is good and bad in every genre.

[Matshoppahulle]

@michbeck88 To bad for you! Complex music takes a bit of intelligence to appreciate.

I suggest you try out Britney Spears. Very easy to listen to, without having to concentrate.

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

youre meant to stick your cocks in em and after a while. i worked this out when i was 11, watch my video about it !

[genalof]

THIS IS SO GOOD, thanks for Posting.

[fear9998]

another person that really wants to know the song at 6:02 till about 6:38 please if you know tell me! thank you xxx :)

[Herzeleid887]

can please someone tell me which is the name of the song at 06:03? thanks...

[dblyoi]

god damnit i love soft machine... i love the early stuff.. but im afraid that 7 is my favorite. maybe it depends on my mood (nice to have a band that can cater to your mood)

[eddiemperor]

@dblyoi Noisette is Amazing. Amazing how they went from Psychedelic To Jazz.

[dblyoi]

@eddiemperor yes! figures it takes a drummer to get these guys together, then another drummer to help alter/shape the new sound. we drummers/percussionists are underrated by too many and are called "the ones who hang with musicians" too often. SOME of us may not write music, but we have Ears beyond the norm. as a keyboardist i would love to hear your thoughts.

p.s. andromeda strain.. great name, but i can't find my headphones.

[eddiemperor]

@dblyoi Thanks!! Hope you like My music, If you like ELP I suggest u hear my Humble notes :) I think Personally a Drummer Makes The Band Itself , There's A Limit on Creativity Between a String and Key Player, Of Course... Rythm is the Spinal Chord of Music(because it balances the body of Music), Just like Harmony is the very Blood IMO, Not a Drummer my self but respect the Art of it ,from Jazz to Timpani, From Peart to Death Metal Extreme Drumming :)

[PaulThe123]

5:01 whats the song please answer me! 

[gingerb91]

@PaulThe123 Fugue as performed by the Nice, I think. I know it's the Nice.

[PaulThe123]

@gingerb91 Fugue isn't play by The Nice but by Egg! thanks you 'cause i found it anyway

[444Guitarboy]

@gingerb91 Actually the song is called Rondo by the Nice. I knew that because ELP always performed it live.

[TheGargoyleLives]

@gingerb91 That's 'Rondo'

[thatguywiththegibson]

@PaulThe123 rondo

[plpicher]

@PaulThe123 osti jle croit pas, t'es ici aussi pis tu demande la même question que jme suis demandé ya quelque jours! j'avais mis la version classique dans mes favoris. *********. qu'est-ce tu fait vendredi ou en fin de semaine(j'ai aps d'école jeudi non plus)

[PaulThe123]

[potissimus]

[metalheadnick555]

[eddiemperor]

@metalheadnick555 I Should Have Known By The Soft Machine

[tacosychelas]

hey guys, whats the tune at 6:05? thx a lot, desperate to find out also hehe

[1994AlmostSkater]

@tacosychelas Me too, someone help us!

[dharmaseed]

@1994AlmostSkater Almost and taco, the song is the intro to 'Magic Man', by Caravan.:)

[1994AlmostSkater]

@dharmaseed Thank you soooo so much!

[dharmaseed]

@1994AlmostSkater No problem whatsoever!

[1994AlmostSkater]

5:2o, what's the song?, im desperate to find out!

[1994AlmostSkater]

@1994AlmostSkater 5:20 I mean

[metalheadnick555]

@1994AlmostSkater Do you mean "Rondo" by the Nice? The part that's playing is the keyboard solo in the middle, based heavily off of Bach's "Toccata in D Minor"

[1994AlmostSkater]

@metalheadnick555 Yeah it was, thanks!

[future4zinc]

America by "the Nice"

[metalheadnick555]

I'm gonna give the Canterbury scene another chance now... I never really cared for it before

[bebopcola84]

@metalheadnick555

I can't speak for too much of it, but I've started listening to Camel and enjoying it immensely. Rain Dances and Snow Goose are great albums.

[ForceMaximus84]

Turn up the volume and put your ear up to the speaker at 4:05.

I DARE you!!

[dubheaddubbed]

what is the title of the song please in the background which starts at 7.50 and stop's at 9.18

thank you

[TheGreatGonzby]

@dubheaddubbed

It's two different tracks: Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive" up to about 8:30, then The Soft Machine's "We Did It Again".

[pietrogutta]

prog rock was a british phenomenon, it never landed america the way the british invasion did.

[mikekorz]

the nice were cool.

she belongs to me...
