Just think if Badfinger would have ruled the charts like the Beatles and John Lennon wouldn't have been killed. Music would be a different place today.
Ham's lead playing...thumbs up...that guy just blows my mind! From the melodies he poured out of his soul to the compositions he worked out so finely and to the plain old making the guitar sing is why Badfinger will live on...not saying the rest of the guys should be taken as being along for the ride, but Pete was out of this world with talent.
Pete was a naive genius, what a fucking guitar player!!!!!! ***************** Joey at his peak. Great song and killer lead. Never heard George Harrison play the balls of the guitar - Pete does - and wrote 'With Out You'............ No comparison intheir lead work.
man..this is just incredible...they can play.....my favorite ever uk band after the beatles..tho whenever i even hear the name badfinger my heart feels alittle tighter, ifeel sader, i still cant beleive what happen to these guys
@simpleman1776 Sad story all right , but the money problem wasn't too much, it was too little. The crooked U.S. manager (Badfinger didn't know he was a crook) that they hired in 1970, screwed them out of most of their earnings and then got the boys sued by their record company Warner Bros. When Pete Ham was at his lowest point, he had a baby on the way and didn't even have the money to pay the mortgage on his home
.
Look up "Stan Polley" on google for details on the piece of crap.
Pete Ham always shines on this song. The BBC recording is hot, too! He really "made" a lot of Joey's songs with his lead guitar work, like his lead throughout "Get Away" and 'Mean Mean Jamima". Genius!
April 26, 1971 Badfinger came to Joplin, Missouri. I was there. This was one of the songs performed. Such a great, organic group. Just a few weeks later they were on stage with George Harrison for the Concert for Bangladesh. Awe!
first viewing iv seen of this, they just get better every time 1 see em,some band then and some band now, such a bloody waste,p,h, you had so much talent,you too tom,
In "Without You" Tom had some adjusting to do when switching to the bass, but man listen to that, he really picked up on the bass really well, didn't he? I love Mike's drumming as well.
F'Nin WOW, I'm still Wow;n to this after 9 months,,,,,

Ringo should have covered this song on one of his albums - it sounds tailor-made for him.
