Pierre Van Der Linden's solo...The Best!!!! as an ex-drummer... I still cannot work out how he did that!... not overdubbed 'cos he did it live! Bert Reuter what a bassist!
Jan Akkerman is a genius and Thijs Van Leer... what can't that man do?... never make it today ,though...not good looking enough...how sad is today's music for that?
I just love this piece, especially THAT bass solo!! How it just develops from nothing is awesome!! Any budding bass player should be soooo inspired hearing this! Pure genius!!
This has got to be one of THE songs for me ! Simply brilliant and when I first heard it way back in late 70's immediately it blew my mind. The way it builds up for every solo from flute to keyboards to bass (WOW !) and to Jan Akkerman...my guitar GOD ! I have memorised every single bit of this fanatstic song. It stiil gives me goosebumps after all these years and still no current band can even get close to these guys !!!!
As Jan comes in 3.00 it is like my mind goes back to when I cycled round London as part of my training. I was preparing for time trials, 10 miles mostly.
I came back home exhauted but eurphoric. Now I know its endorphins. I put this on the 'gramaphone' my god what can I say....who needs drugs. This is arguably their best work. I am at once humbled. AGE 13 and everything to play for 1973/4 oh my!
groovy
