Blodwyn Pig - Same old Story 1970

[shldnbschmn]

y'know, i'm tellin' ya, this guy was just as good as Anderson.

...sometimes the dice just rolls into obscurity. too bad.

[edrusharry]

dont ya just wish that it was more about music than video talent.

These guys would get nowhere today cos they aint pretty enough but the music is so much better.

[Utubestir]

I personally find Mick & his songs far more to my liking than anything JT did after he split I only like the 1st JT LP

[cricketbat08]

Slightly reminiscent of the Jethro Tull song ,Living In the Past. Cool.

[CosmicXRay]

maybe nothing more nefarious than two artists and personalities with very different visions going their own ways...

better to have had a Jethro Tull and a Blodwyn Pig than a Jetwyn Tug which might not been as good as either depending on your tastes

wait, here's a radical idea: it doesn't have to be an either/or choice - one can like both for what they are rather than what they weren't

imo, too bad there's so much dichotomous thinking about music/musicians which goes nowhere... meh

[DrMarianus]

@CosmicXRay

Yes, I always find it out that people compare musicians like athletes statistics instead of just kicking back and enjoying the finer points of each.

[littlequeen64]

The drummer looks like my old man back in the day,whose also a drummer, with the same hair.......haha.

snnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo­oooooozzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeee­

[infodisinfo]

you can hear Abrahams Tull in this song. who can deny his influance in Tull in the 2 first albums after hearing this song?

that said, I'm glad he left Tull because I don't think the band would have branched out to do all those great songs from such a wide range of influences had he stayed.

but Mick is a fine artist in his own right, no mistake about it.

[PhilK112]

@infodisinfo Yeah, was thinking the same. Still knocking about doing the same as ever even now.

[PhilK112]

Ends early, doesn't it ? Spoils it.

[jacquesL0711]

Nice Classic Stuff....

[dandamagetoo]

I bought this for the album cover before I ever heard a note from them. what a bonus that I really liked the band as well. turned into a big fan. for ten points..does anybody here know what the back of the cover looked like?? lol

[catman605]

I was cruising Tull videos and found these guys. Never knew they existed. I wish I had known about them back in the day.

[freakbeatno1]

Saw them and Keef Hartley record a Sunday show for John Peel. Great but not as extraordinary as the one with Colosseum, Joni Mitchell and a very young James Taylor!

[madmexart]

Lizardking, yea it sounds like a Tull tune cause Mick Abrams(guitar) was an origianl member of Tull, the best line up they had til Ian Anderson took over with his stupiod flute playing all over the place f'n gimmick rock. Peace

[Wiaszczurka]

Great song!

[wilkiesenior]

omg i have the vynyl it was on chrysalis green my having a trip down memory lane tonight ha ha

[Lehmann108]

Saw these guys at the Fillmore East in 1970. They opened for Chicago.

[chikkipop]

@Lehmann108

Yeah. I was at that show. Amazing shows for 5 or 6 bucks!

[maniacmarklewin52]

talk about bringing back memories i was 18 got my ist car cost 200 dollars it was a 57 chevy put a 8 track in it.remember these guys

[aikilynn]

I'm always so surprised that more listeners don't pick up on this group

[christos48]

Hi from Bavaria/Germany. I'm not so surprised !

I'm 62 now and BP was one of my favorite groups from the 60/70's. So, as this was my real music, when the artists could really play an instrument, meanwhile their real old fans may have passed away. The younger don't really know anything about BP. Times go by...

[aikilynn]

I really appreciate all the you-tube postings of the old Fleetwood Mac, Blodwyn Pig, 10 Years After, Its a Beautiful Day, etc. . . . thanks for taking the time to answer back . . . keep in touch with your musical interests/ideas!

[ocajpast]

like the fender six string bass/tenor guitar saw the band in philly and it was the only time i sawa bass player use one back then

[91Lizardking]

sounds like a good old tull song!

[greenez62]

i loved these guys, they had so many great songs...".leave it with me", "the modern alchemist", "drive me" were real fav's but i'd not heard this before

[kenjd111]

yeah early Jethro Tull sound but extreemly good picture thanx

[gunsanddrugs]

yeah>! just paints my living room a different colour! thank you!

[phantomofthedrivein]

who sang 'same old story' from play it again sam?

[bob4analog]

Alright, BP...YES! I almost 4 got about these guys! Yup, it's soo good to see 'em on the U. Thanx 4 post'n em, Fritz!

[TheWendigo1]

Ahead rings out is still amazing... See My Way

[lynnmkarstens]

This group is the best . . . I'm so happy to see them on vid . . . still have some vinyl

[mclainrose]

Why is he singing behind the drummer hilarious haha

[thisismikehunt2009]

Good song. What a shame it never got into the charts.

[Cervicconstruction]

Mick is one of the most underated guitarists of all time ( Please stop me if you have heard that in the contect of any other of a hundred guitarist's ).He was very goodthough you know on the first Jethro Tull disk ( This Was ) outstanding riffs.

[HullBloke1313]

Agreed. His guitar work on that first album was fantastic. Good job they had Martin Barre on hand to step in, cos anything less would have seen 'em fall flat after Mick's benchmark playing, I reckon.

[GEARSHIFTproductions]

1:09 lol at hios face!

[bigbreadeaterellis]

man i wish the bbc had not wiped some much of the vintage 60s and 70s top of the pops editions...imagine if they had kept them along with all the old dee time episodes?

[smoovegittar]

Mick's such a trip!

[NeilThompson30]

maida 1982 - What do you mean they didn't catch on? They were mega - both their albums were top ten in the UK.

[Kegwithlegs]

I wonder whatever happen to the brass player, Lancaster, I never heard any news since Pig broke up?

[maida1982a]

band made 2 fine albums, but didn't stay around long enough to really catch on. they would have, i believe.

[topofthepopsguy]

Recently a group of professionals working in tandem with the BBC have been working quite successfully to restore lost colour signal to b/w recordings that once existed in colour, this very clip was taken in its b/w form, and given this process, the results looked as close to this origional as you can get. Leaves hope for origional colour programs to be restored to thier former glory. For me,would be very happy to see this process used on Dr Who ep Invasion of the Dinosaurs,Ambassadors Of Death !

[bluesbrother37]

This colour process is amazing! Why did't they re colour the Thin Lizzy clip from 73?

[NB1972]

Thanks for posting this. The correct date is 29/1/70 by the way.
