Super Furry Animals recording their Peel Session at the BBC.

On the 6th October 2004 I was lucky enough to get a ticket to sit in John Peel's studio at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios, to watch the Super Furry Animals record their Peel Session. No cameras were allowed, but I secretly snuck mine in and recorded this clip of the band playing a song. The Welsh actor Rhys Ifans was there too, as of course was John Peel himself, who sadly passed away not long afterwards.

i feel sorry 4 flying junk if he is as old as the music he is saying sfa are deriving from. it can be said that the rolling stones copied or derived everything that the beatles done. i dont believe it to a full extent if you think that sfa are carrying on what the beatles have done you havnt got much of a clue. age in this case has not brought wisdom. i would strongly suggest that before making comments like that you should listen to all of their albumsandifyouhaveandyoustillt­hinkwatyouhavebeen

FlyingJunk: The best 60's/70's bands are all derivative, arguably even more than the Super Furries. Dylan, the Stones, the Beatles & the Kinks all drew heavily from 50's blues and early Motown, Led Zep sometimes ripped them off note for note and word for word without any credit!

All music (and art, for that matter) is somehow derived from what has gone before. Also, I fucking love the Kinks, but saying that listening to them makes you a "better person" takes arrogance to a new level.

Flyin Junk what the hell are you on about? Of course every note has been played before, it's the order they're played in which counts. SFA do a lot of electronic / dance music in their sets - did the Beatles ever do that? No, because the technology wasn't there. If you're as old as you sound I feel sorry for you, because you really should have evolved better debating skills by now.

Flying Junk: JUNK being the operative word... You don't GET the joke do you?

I bet you think YOU came from the best era of music, or you have a personal understanding of what you can and can't do with music. It's easy to see you are catastrophically un creative and probably live some 9 to 5 cubical existence.

It's NOW, not the past my friend. It's ALL good!!!

I must disagree. The best 70's bands were not derivative. Led Zeppelin owe almost nothing to the Beatles musically. Yes (the band) or Genesis (of the 70's) are not secondhand Rolling Stones. I just wanted SFA fans (who are quite young, I understand) to find the music they may not even know exists. I'm not saying: don't listen to SFA, they are better than U2 by any account, but if you listen to the Kinks of the 60's, you may find yourself a better person. That's all.

doesnt that apply to all bands post beatles stones etc, ull probably find sfa fans have enough taste to have quite an eclectic taste anyway..dude sfa are as original as u can get...pointless post and a pointless reply.. sfa sfa ok.

This is a nice band, but listen, guys, every single note of their music had been played before! I know you're gonna yell at me, but you better do yourself a great service and listen to all those 60's bands: Beatles, Kinks, Idle Race, early Pink Floyd, Beau Brummels, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Incredible String Band, Move, the list goes on and on. You'll see how all this music had been done before, and much better!
