Groundhogs - Split Part 3

groundhogs=original sophisticated rockin blues music

This band is brilliant, live or on record. Probably Britain's best Blues/Rock band ever. Catch them when you can. I was introduced to them in 1972 and have worn out two copies of SPLIT on vinyl! I keep going back to it. Thanks SWELLTECHNO (and anyone else) for enabling others to hear T S McPhee and the band.

@jlnpn Your welcome

I saw them on a prog package tour 2008. He was mesmerising, and really delivered a unique form of guitar artistry. he seemed to go into his own world - which ironically made the show more entertaining.

[SWELLTECHNO]

Brilliant, he plays really well live, cheers Martin

[MrRogersjon]

the best hog track of all time but never heard it live and it is not live on any cd why?

[SWELLTECHNO]

I dont know why ?

[coyran]

@SWELLTECHNO

I think it's to do with the synth bit at the beginning, I've seen them in Doncaster twice. Absolutely awesome, I even got to have a go on Dave Andeson's bass.

@MrRogersjon True. Album #2 track 3, but live?! I've found all other parts except 3!

[SWELLTECHNO]

@BeerMeister1214 Part two is in the videos to the right of this message

@MrRogersjon Tony did play it live a few years ago - for a time the set featured Split parts 1to 4 play together in sequence. I think that changed when they got a new Bass player in. Sadly, as far as I know, there's no live recording of Split 3, but it sounded brilliant live (it's my favourite of the 4 parts as well, so I might be biased) :D

@m8kyn Many Thanks once more (SwellTechno) sNEaKY (newchannel)

[SgtSteel1]

Brilliant song!

If you listen to the lyrics carefully it tells quite a sad/lonely story. I think the song is either about someone going mad or someone coming down of a serious drugs high!

[SneakysVideos]

Spot on , Thanks for listening and commenting (SwellTechno) also (sNeaKY) ☺

[VancouverJames]

Favoured the whole Split series......excellent! Thank you!

[sneakyuploads]

Wonderful Stuff Cheers ! ☺

" If I was sane and knew what life was about..."

Can't imagine any new band writing such depth of lyric these days.

It's all gone dumb-shaped.

I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. McPhee, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.

HAL: It's called "Split Part 3."

The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.
