[@laumeconroy]

A truly talented innovator. Never realized how influential he is.

[@scottconnors8419]

laumeconroy him and Jimmy Carl black of the mothers of invention,they painted houses in Austin TX together...rip jcb I'm the Indian of the group...

[@edroseptic9442]

Lol

[@Bix12]

the original shock rocker - this was truly something new back then.

[@yodieyuh]

Would put him up there for sure, but Screamin' Jay Hawkins was rising out of coffins and casting black magic in the 50's.

[@freedomisntfree2089]

He was an LSD trip from hell come to life, I hope he truly understands how important he is, without him would there have been Alice Cooper, King Diamond, Rob Zombie, Marylin Manson,or Ghost??

[@WarriorBoy]

"There's your usual Western cynicism" Pure awesome! He is the God of Hellfire!

[@forneusmerihim5972]

I like a lot how the girls look in the 60's.

[@kenmills30]

Yeh they were feminine then ironically before feminism turned them into the masculine females they are today.

[@pepsisenpai3312]

Y'all are weird, stop

[@tubellarbells]

Dull interviewer and questions, funny and sharp statements from Arthur. Wow...this is pure honey and chocolate for music fans. Thanks a ton !

[@sallyrik]

Brilliant - my first festival!!!

[@gijsmertens6858]

i am from holland. i was there too, my first festival. fantastic

[@johnmitchelljr]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@InfraRendell]

Great video!! Thank you so much for posting!!! I will be watching this again!!

[@heylaceface]

"but you're enjoying it aren't you! , dont you think its beautiful?...you see we don't worry about money, but you do....." so many great messages in this bit! aum. shakti

[@Stbuster31]

I really enjoyed the people getting interviewed.

[@philipsmovies]

Very interesting interview.I also noticed Dantalians Chariot in the backround; that must have been a cool festival.Thanks.

[@AudioDregs]

great, thanks for posting this! still exciting after all this time.

[@420Slaterson]

I know, that's what I said. Dude said Screaming Lord Sutch and Arthur Brown were before Alice Cooper, and I said Screamin' Jay Hawkins predates both of them.

[@VictimofAtkins]

wow, wish I could go to Arthur Brown school. Looks like these lot have had something stronger than a pint of bitter.

[@lewlew67]

Mindless trivia. In the background Dantalian's Chariot is playing. That's Zoot Money's band with a young Andy Summers of The Police playing if you didn't know.

[@jonsilence]

"Makes you want to duff a daffodil"...blimey Nigel, you're bloody effing brilliant. And Arthur is stoned out of his mind! Hold on, thats very young Vincent Crane (with the mustache) speaking starting at 5:03 !

[@realdinho]

thanks for all the great clips of Arthur Brown...i wonder if Dantalian's Chariot (by the way you're absolutely right "chrisedelic77") had Arthur in mind when writing "Madman running through the field"!!!

[@cengeb]

Before Kiss before Cooper, this guy was an original! Out there! When music was original, and MUSIC. Justin Beiber today is such horse shit! we have DEVOLVED!

[@gaskellr44]

some might sya evolved commercially but i agree with you, music seems to be more corporate, less creativity in it....not much real heart and soul...painting by numbers with the ppl who write the music following a pattern that they know ppl will hook onto...AB and his band and the audience seem to mee to be speaking so much sense...shame alot of their ideas havent been fullfilled.

[@charlenesoraia]

brilliant xxx

[@chrisedelic77]

Listen very closely at 4:39 and you can hear Dantalian's Chariot playing "Madman running through the field" live in the background. That might be them just before too but I don't recognize the song though it sounds like Zoot's keyboard.

[@mistofoles]

Wow, he was in outer space !

[@flyboypss]

last Windsor consert I attened I think was 1972/3 hazy days back then, it was in the great park not down by the river, I remember watching Camel playing live during a thunderstorm, amazing I am an old Windsorian born 1947 :-)

[@BlackishMetalish]

Wow, 7 people must have accidentally bumped the dislike button...

[@jasonpeters3558]

Way ahead of his time, meaning his way of thinking, his answers.

[@michaelb6662]

interesting interview by an interesting man-very original

[@onezitman]

sure wish i could hear the graham bond organization in the background!

[@HammondDER]

6:54 is young David Blane

[@Kombi-1]

Wowww

[@flyboypss]

Me Too (God I feel old now)

[@nicholasbell9017]

That last interviewee, I swear that was Hugh Grant!

[@chrisedelic77]

In the background, Dantalian's Chariot's other song you can hear them playing is Four Fireman and at about 2:27 you can hear'um say,"This song's called Four Fireman", and that's all your gonna get of DC live! NOW WHERE'S MY CLOAK AT!

[@gazriley624]

i hear Dantalion's Chariot playing in the background

[@seostattler]

I know this is something of a shot in the dark but does anyone have any idea what the music playing in the background is at about 3:52???????

[@DanHarrisonKing]

My mum saw this without any context, and asked "Is that King Charles?" 😅

[@husq48]

Bruce Dickinson said he built his career on Arthur Brown!

[@shimmysparkle]

Can someone please confirm whether or not that is Vincent Crane talking...yay or nay?

[@auroreboreale69]

apparently it's him

[@kencoakley3959]

Arthur Brown had a bit Part in the 1975 film Tommy as the priest who assists the Preacher played by Eric Clapton. Brown only sings one verse then screeches like no other.

[@mikebott6940]

it's like he took artaud's ideas on theatre and made them fun. anyways, how did you get this ?

[@orlaej]

His Fire was released exactly same time as Hendrix' fire! At danish charts AB's Fire took 1. position, Hendrix' 2. which annoyed me. I was 13 years old then

[@JohaDahlgaard]

3:09 AAAAAAH! You scared me.

[@chrisedelic77]

I wish they could of documented more of these psyche bands on film than they did. They all had such visual flair that had to be seen and started it all frankly. It's a shame that the wiz-kids over at the BBC taped over a lot of these band's TV appearances in order to save space. Nice one, erase history!

[@solomonsRHman]

60s BBC would have had strict rules, as did studios of the time. The Beatles nearly got some legendary engineer/producers sacked from Abbey Road, except that George Martin was able to influence the 'old farts' more. The Flower Generation were genuinely trying to convince the stuffy, staid world of freedom & love - at least question dated values as Arthur is trying to say here. Dylan, Lennon and Jagger interviews are surprisingly consistent in their answers to such style of interviews.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@gazstas could be, but Arthur was known to be just an intellect without the need for synthetics. He was surely immersed in that culture though. What a time! yeah that reporter was pretty dry, but he was ok, compared to some dodgy biased basturds.

[@paulstevenson789]

The cool people of today are indeed the squares of tomorrow!

[@DaddysRockGirl]

Who is the guy talking about the radiance of gayness? He's awesome.

[@tohtori666]

I think that's Vincent Crane

[@simonwells61]

I think that's Traffic in the background x

[@realityfrominsanity]

ohh my bad man, i was a little.. baked. when i misread your comment. haha sorry man!

[@realityfrominsanity]

No, Hawkins was in the late 50's.

[@stobbinsboy]

brown was...well he was more hippy than hippy and now he is still....a hippy...and hey if you like a liitle theatre in your boogie woogie one must give a listen to The Sensational Alex Harvey Band....he was born in 1935....far out

[@donedeal2057]

Right there is whee Alice cooper became Alice cooper.

[@cengeb]

Keyboard B3?

[@geeyouknit345]

6:54 a young freddy mercury

[@HammondDER]

2ALL: It's Internal Messenger, then Creep and, finally, Gypsy Escape

[@Pighood]

Wow....that chick is 60 years old now.

[@420Slaterson]

[@kachunski]

[@cengeb]

[@chrisedelic77]

[@Traductus5972]

[@bloodmachinetheband]

[@metelmoose]

[@Puppitear]

[@yardtools]

6:17 "It's fabulous, it's so big."

[@jonsilence]

Arthur Brown: Musical Terrorist, the Ossama Bin Laden of Rock. And thats understating it and selling him short!

[@MrGb4ever]

[@spineridersinthesky4991]

PpppparaphrrnaliaaaAAA??

[@CyberGamesNMS]

[@theshadow2477]

+Henry Kane Naaaaaah!

[@annabackman3028]

1967? Kidding? 😉🤣

[@user-hv5uy7ct6g]

He looks wonderfully wasted on LSD

[@MrBrooke66]

''our philosophy can be summed up in one word- love' he says. substitute 'love' for 'bullshit' and you've got it down.

[@pablomalaga4676]

What kind of gayness was that guy talking about?

[@MrGb4ever]

I don`t think he knows what the fuck he`s talking about! LMAO!!!!

[@kingreich22]

That's highly offensive! Go listen to Rush Limbaugh please.

[@thehouseofautumnspells258]

Nowadays sucks.

[@johndee5892]

His only good song is fire...the rest is garbage

[@gijsmertens6858]

you better go to sleep...jambon
