Budgie - Napoleon bona parts 1 & 2

I recently found some live video of the Classic 70's band Budgie that i filmed in 2009 at the Corner hotel in Melbourne. Because the original audio was a horrible mess and un-listenable i thought id try sync the live footage to original track Its a little out but still turned out pretty good.
Budgie still rock hard!
Enjoy - Napoleon Bona - parts 1 & 2
Video was filmed on my crappy Samsung camera in 2009.
Mostly in black and white because of the low light factor.
It is what it is!
All rights to original song recording go to the artist.

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.

Fantastic Band

[@MairyHinge]

Up there with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin♥️

[@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.

[@MairyHinge]

​@@brickie55East Anglia is where us Anglo-Saxons first settled. Waes hael.

[@cezarypalonek]

RIP Burke you are my childhood I will never forget when I heard Bandolier on my mother's cassette

[@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.

[@MairyHinge]

"All in your mind"

[@johnpaine3891]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@rickeaston8963]

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

[@ScottyKirk1]

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

[@irishkelly654]

All these years later and this still gives me chills! LOVE IT! Edit: Forgot to add, you did a great job on this, many thanks!

[@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.

[@williamrichards9287]

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!

[@jarrodkirby3801]

Read the notes william!

[@geronimo3180]

aaaaa

[@davidmacleod9313]

That’s not Tony Bourge, is it?

[@peteraustin370]

No...Tony Bourge had retired from Budgie after 5 albums...arguably best of Budgie..!!..The blues feel was lost after Tony left..!!!

[@davidmacleod9313]

@@peteraustin370 I don’t like when the video doesn’t match up with the personnel. Kind of like somebody else taking the credit for what you’re hearing. Know what I mean?

[@TheSabeMan]

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.

@@jarrodkirby3801 TY for kind reply. Your right, I guess I should have read. Thanks for the post.
