Budgie - Napoleon bona parts 1 & 2

[@foolishcontrarian]

RIP my dude. A true unsung hero that never got the recognition they deserved. I've always recommended Budgie to people who have almost never heard of them. I'll keep the name alive. Man, what a band.

[@chrisokeefe6161]

Well said , never got the recognition they deserved at all , seen the lot , but Budgie in my top 3 everyday R.I.P Burke

[@bigboydaboss6074]

I did the same to all my friends and will do for the rest of my days. Mostly of them recognized how great this band are.

[@CliffordSullivan-fj7jv]

[@brendavincent]

Thanks to Steve, Budgie's drummer I was directed here, how fantastic! Great editing for sure, I worked on this Tour and we dont have alot or any footage of full tunes, brilliant! x

[@jarrodkirby3801]

Thanks brendavincent was an epic show !

[@JimmyRJump]

We, Belgians, have a connection with the Welsh. Not so much in language but more in Blood. When Julius Caesar chased us from our grounds back in 55 BC, a lot of "us" fled to Britanny in France and then crossed the channel to arrive in England. Engel Land. Land of the Angels. Coming from French Brittony and seeing the lands we arrived at were the same as in France, we called it "the Greater Brittony" or, hey, Great Brittan. Towns like Brighton were originally Belgian settlements. Anyway, I saw Budgie three years in a row at the Reading Rock Festival. 1980, 1981 and 1982. Best three-piece band I ever saw and heard, despite Motorhead and ZZ-top.

[@brickie55]

In Polish , England is called Anglia, hasn't really changed.

[@johnpaine3891]

My favourite from Bandolier…just great memories of the mid 70s listening to the magnificent Budgie…happy days!

Budgie: pride of Cardiff, Wales.

[@wynkindeworde6504]

One of the best bands I saw a few times in the seventies, along with Stray and the Pink Fairies they were the best.

Budgie rocks! Saw them once at the Sunken Gardens in San Antonio where they recorded that concert ~ 2002.

[@jodaniel2112]

It's so sad to see legends go into the Olimpus. There goes one of the most cryminally underrated musician in the heavy metal story, may there be peace at his rest. R.I.P. Burke Shelly🐦

[@alanthom4641]

Budgie fan since 70's😊😊

[@johnp8131]

My favourite track of theirs. To be honest, this is the best video and audio combination I've seen of them since I saw them twice live at the end of the seventies. I should have seen them a third time in St Albans in1980 as they were on equal billing with Ozzy, on his first tour, promoting the " Blizzard of Ozz" album. Unfortunately Burke had laryngitis and they didn't perform. At least I saw Ozzy with Randy Rhoads.

[@tadtatado5874]

Had a bootleg cassette of Tredegar doing this song live. Tony is such a great guitarist! 🎸

[@montmuse]

thanks for sharing this footage with us Blacksun . Amazing stuff. Great to see so many folks commenting and younger guys and gals discovering Budgie with fresh ears..... Just awesome.

[@davidl8739]

Underrated is a term often used by fifteen year old kids who have just discovered an existing legend but it really applies the truly great rock band Budgie. My first live band at The Greyhound, Croydon. Sunday, 25th April 1976 and still have Never Turn Your Back on a Friend, In For the Kill and Bandolier on vinyl. Up there with the very best.

[@rickeaston8963]

That's a fabulous job you've done there. Takes me back some years...

[@tinyskier6250]

[@JoseRamirez-rk6si]

Hey guys, although Shelly is gone now I e been rocken with these guys since the late 70’s they were one of my favorite bands. You guys knew how how to jam hard. You came to my town a couple of times San Antonio received you well with Kmac kiss stone city attractions.

[@Atlas65]

In a way. But not so much. Since Zeppelin had already brought this sound in and other 70's bands that came after Zeppelin 🤔 - Barracuda with Hearts and something in the same ballpark comes to mind as well

[@ninjagirlnomeansno9403]

Probably one of my favorite Budgie songs, but anyone who knows this band knows this is the studio version, and this live version is not live at all, I have the feeling the band had nothing to do with this video, still a great song!

Bogus. That's the original studio version soundtrack performed by Shelley, Bourge, & Williams. This is a later later video maybe them doing that song with Goldy on guitar. LOL

[@jarrodkirby3801]

Read the the info dude. It is studio version of the song. I filmed them preforming it live and re synced my footage to the original track. As i was working in film at the time, it was a test for sync.
