This is a compilation of all the live footage/t.v. appearances I could find of Budgie during the 70's. I tried to find the best quality video and audio I could. Yet, due to this band's relative obscurity much of the films haven't been properly kept over the years and are usually poor in quality.

[@jasonx8465]

Thankyou - Burke Shelley is my Dad and I havent seen some of this footage before :-)

[@davidtyson6263]

Thank your dad for making music that makes me smile every time I hear it. My all-time favorite band !!

[@powerplantplanetuniverse5945]

Hope you and your dad are fine...even more now we're all passing kind of a hard crazy time...love and music, friendship and care, that will finally save us from mental harm...i can imagine how you feel, my dad and me, we are like friends and supported each other for years, my respect and empathy to you all, good health and hugs from a swiss/norwegian/spanish Budgie Fan🎸🎹🎶💮☮️🎩🐻✊💖🐦

[@robertj.993]

Jason x... Do you have have any more footage that we havent seen before

[@johnglennon5623]

Couple of days ago I was thinking about Budgie and what awesome sound they banged out for 3 piece band . I was meeting my mate to go clubbing in Birmingham u.k many years back and he said Budgie were playing same night we could go there first . Big yes never seen them live . Only small venue not many people , but they were outstanding . Thank your dad for me for great night . Cant believe they weren't bigger than what they were . I'm now looking for tutorials on how to play , Zoom Club and In For The Kill on guitar . If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great .

[@johnglennon5623]

Confirmed it was 2002 my mates wifes 40th birthday when we seen the band

[@jordanmcintosh5451]

Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple and Budgie are the Four Fathers of Metal in my opinion.

[@TincuMihaiLiviu]

right....................+Judas Priest

[@TayRez]

@@TincuMihaiLiviu yes!

[@SergeSirota]

Yep

[@yogiguitar1]

dont forget the kinks or hendrix though

[@KickflipGnasty]

Can't forget Uriah Heep. Actually nothing against Budgie, but Heep were even more prolific.

[@ojib62]

Started buying Budgie imports when I was in high school 1977. Still have their entire Studio Discography on minty vinyl, they are in deed the best underrated Metal band of their era. No doubt.

[@piluspilate]

if you are ever selling any please give me an inbox im looking for original budgie records

[@FeelingShred]

what I like about them is that they don't need any pose or stage antics or fancy silly clothing to make HEAVY sounds... the kind of HEAVY sounds that will punch your soul.. just listen to Parents holy shit...

[@FeelingShred]

just discovered them recently... Budge on 🤣

[@zeb996storm7]

One of the most underestimated rock artists. Sometimes worldwide recognition comes late.

[@smoothbrew8511]

Was lucky yo see them twice in the late seventies...was already a fan well before that...best band ever..I'm 64 now, still listen to their music..they were the best..thanks for everything Budgie..😘😍✌🤙

[@marcbehrend3470]

One of my favorite bands growing up, I still listen to them almost daily 63 and running from a nightmare😅

[@commonsense9176]

What a band they were ❤

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Happy memories of a classic band. Only got to see them twice sadly.

[@michelevalykeo8968]

RIP Burke Shelley. I loved listening to Budgie. Reminds me of a sweet time in my childhood. A neighbor kid brought your music from the UK. Much gratitude. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@joemyburgh5718]

One of my fav bands when I wasy oung, Still have 3 LP's stashed somewhere. At age 62 its awesome to wach this. Once a metal always a metal. Thanks for sharing.

[@pepperonitony4294]

This has got to be the most kickass group on the planet

[@billywiththebulgingbaloonb5105]

70's speed metal! Gotta love Budgie.

[@Pedro2706]

Trust he's in good shape-great band

[@michaelehrhart9670]

Budgie should have added a RHYTHM BASS player because Burke is playing LEAD BASS! Hard to believe he is no longer with us... Absolutely loved these guys! Been listening to them since 1977...

[@laurenzgraffilpenstein8117]

We want more.. BUDGIE

[@davidmacleod9313]

One of my favourite bands that I “grooved on” in the seventies. (And right now! Lol)

[@4tuneagent]

"Who Do You Want For Your Love" is so excellent, that I am surprised the Old Grey Whistle Test did not have Budgie back multiple times on their show..

[@FeelingShred]

okay so this is 1975? Disco wasn't a thing yet, right? so they were pretty much playing experimental "disco" music before Disco even became a thing? I'm telling you, these guys were always ahead of their time... the problem with this is that the crowd's brain was not ready for it yet

[@FeelingShred]

this is like mind blowing, Bass-focused music before The Police members even met each other 🤣

[@chrisbye7922]

I’m from Oz and on my first overseas trip in 1986 headed to the Marquee Club to see Budgie! Unforgettable!!

[@sebarrow663]

Every 6 months I search for "Budgie live" hoping to find some gigs/songs from the 70s - 80s, I've seen this videos before but not in as good quality. Thanks!

[@andrebraga]

[@laurenzgraffilpenstein8117]

here I am in one of these 2 AM Budgie rabbit holes 🤣🤣🤣I really despise some things about the "future" and what the world became, but I still love this little thing called youtube, finding so much cool stuff around here... rock on... 1991 kid born in the wrong decade

[@jeffreymetz2084]

Hi Jasonx8465 glad to hear you get to see footage of your dad for the first time I love this band keep on rocking rip budgie..

[@malekmo64]

R.I.P Burke, born John Burke Shelley 10th April 1950 - 10th January 2022 😪

[@Cain779]

Great band. Wish I could see them. 1978 in Germany when I heard them first. M-Bratt. Love this band. God bless. 💜

[@chrisguthrie9493]

Brings back memories. Great band

[@johnpena7837]

Saw them back in 78 I think it was, such a good band. Love the Impeckable album.

[@robertgarrett3683]

I saw the Impeckable tour in 1977 in Killeen Texas at a Biker Bar called The KrazyHorse Saloon!!

[@FeelingShred]

what is that last song on the album about? such peculiar title 🤣

[@gazooie1958]

Squawk was a fine album. In vinyl, part of big brother Dan’s superb collection.

[@BusyAir]

Budgie is one of those rare bands that everything they recorded was worth listening to. I keep finding bootlegs and compilations of material I haven't heard and it blows me away how good it all is. I hope 'One Last Hurrah' comes to be.

[@FeelingShred]

okay I'm trying to understand what did compare to this at the time... 1975? so basically they were playing experimental "disco" kind of music before Disco even became a worldwide phenomenon? so not only they are pioneers of heavy metal they also have part in Disco becoming a thing? this is huge

[@FeelingShred]

I never really understood the appeal of Led Zep (people were too bored I guess Laughs...) but to me this guy sings better and higher notes than Robert Plant just sayin' 👍

[@tridevkotwal2169]

2018 ive discovered budgie ..Dave mustane got me into BUDGIE....AMAZING BAND AMAZING SOUND

[@tridevkotwal2169]

2019 and magic still continues

[@prairiehawker]

I would not say relative obscurity as much as I would say that collectively Budgie were always about Substance over Style. I think that is a great virtue of truly great bands. It was always more of an invitation to critique them based on their work as opposed to so many bands that were more about the Spectacle of Rock and Roll. Bands like that have a lot of Live Footage and by now are relegated to playing parking lots in the midwest opening up for Styx or Kansas LOL!

[@martinhowe1422]

Please thank your ol man for giving me millions of happy, happy memories. Reading 80 was just wonderful. Still get the LP's out now, still banging those toons. T H A N K Y O U !!!!!!

[@PaulMurray_writer]

These guys were inceptual in creating that hard driving British rock sound. I’d put money on it that Wolfmother were heavily influenced by this band - if not, massively coincidental sound similarity. Budgie were just fantastic.

[@rrrnigth8030]

Budgie entre outras bandas deram a origem que anos mais tarde chamaria heavy metal thank you Band budgie entre outras 🤘🍷🍺🖤🎧🎤👏🇧🇷👍🤝🌃😎

[@johnfern1869]

true metal heads had great melody. three man bands rule. they make the most noise.

[@FeelingShred]

just discovered these guys... what I'm loving about them is that you don't need stage antics or silly clothing to make HEAVY sound... HEAVY sound the kind of heavy that punches you in the guts, hence Parents 1973...

[@chiefyamaha7445]

This Drummer must have been so pumped to jam with Geddy Lee’s dad and Ritchie Blackmore at the same time Im sure most people don’t even believe him when he tells them Well we all know the truth now

I can see where Rush specifically Geddy got his influence from

[@kevinvitale8980]

Saw Budgie at a club in East St. Louis Bar in the late 70s. Almost got into a bar fight.

[@robertlipperd7352]

yeahhhh babyy

[@RoCkEr882009]

Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers intros amazingly existed way before they were born

[@Nervulis]

I remember being so astounded by RHCPs intro to "Around the World" and thought "holy shit, this takes real talent" when Californication came out and then a few years later I stumbled upon this...

[@MetalPersonJ]

@@Nervulis Which song are we talking about here?

[@ashha-shamaim5293]

@@MetalPersonJ He's referring to how the intro to RCHP's "Around the World" is clearly, let's say, "influenced by" the main riff from "Breadfan". Just play the two songs and it's pretty obvious really.

[@kmlgraph]

I wonder if Rush was influenced by Budgie? Awesome, tight progressive metal.

[@SwanseaTitanFan]

kmlgraph I've always thought that as well.

[@malekmo64]

They were contemporaries. Burke Shelley and Geddy Lee are often compared. Both wore similar glasses. Apparently they appeared in the 70s together. When Budgie left the stage and Rush started their set some audience members thought that the same Bass Player/Singer was in both bands!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@zackzallie8735]

That's what I thought, Budgie may sounded like another band I know but I forgot 🤣

[@walterpen371]

The joke at the time was if Geddy Lee was moonlighting in the second band Budgie. They both looked alike with long hair and same style of glasses. Both played bass and did the vocals, but later on Budgie added a keyboard player on tour.

[@FeelingShred]

contemporaries my ass... they were pioneering all this 5 or 6 years earlier

[@arturomcola]

who's the rhythm guitar player in the last 2 vids?

[@Ashaliel]

ive never heard these guys before. ive heard metallicas breadfan, and it popped into my head when looking for guitar songs to learn. so i decided to listen to some of it. i'm surprised. what is making his guitar having a slight chirp noise?

[@velinbleumusic]

He,s holding the plectrum at angle when he's hitting the strings which gives a harmonic type of effect

[@marklarose8600]

1977

[@Mike-aka747]

In the Breadfan video. Put some glasses on Bourge and he would pass for Robert Fripp! Joking aside. Rocking Band been a fan for 25 yrs strong. Zoom Club should be on classic rock radio rotation along with Stairway or Freebore. If your a Budgie novice check that song out first then after that dive headlong into the catalogue!

I know, it's the studio version, but I could have sworn I saw the Live version with this video, 5 or 6 years ago.. it should exist somewhere.. to "Breadfan"..

[@1956tojo]

I'm sorry, but anyone comparing Burke Shelly to Geddy Lee needs their head examined.... His range and vocal capabilities alone cancel out any comparison.... and the bass playing? Burke might make the top 250 list when Geddy is a solid top 20...
