Caravan: Nine Feet Underground

[@Chavee496tee]

I have 26 albums by Caravan - from 1968's 'Caravan' to 2021's "It's None Of Your Business'. Watching this line-up live is a blessing. We've lost 'real music' today. What a treat this is... thank you so much guys!

[@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491]

Now get the big box: like 45+ discs. Lotta live stuff, mastered, cardboard cover like just a true album. Incredible stuff. Lots of Caravan trio - No Pye.. a live Steve Miller concert!! One stuff of dream: their first album without that reverb. The engineer must have gotten ripped drunk. Not included most of the 5 disc Land of grey, which I am sure you have

[@desmondobrien8419]

Nine feet underground is the best track ever by the best band ever. Nothing else comes close!

[@stuartwaby3081]

...except For Richard...

[@desmondobrien8419]

@@stuartwaby3081 I got a bit carried away Stuart. In retrospect several caravan tracks come close and I reckon For Richard was the best thing I'd ever heard before Nine feet underground, which I still consider to be the best!

[@stuartwaby3081]

@@desmondobrien8419 It's just my opinion but for me For Richard is their best ever, having said that i love Nine Feet Underground and can completely understand your opinion 🙂

[@spiritof6663]

This is way way *way* better than it had any right to be. Quite a moving performance--unbelievable that it's been more than a half-century and still sounds utterly superb.

[@tommyrawlings3046]

Land of grey and pink was my favorite album of all time, even though King Crimson was my favorite group! This album never gets old!

[@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491]

Original cover blows your mind under a blacklight..

[@teichezgege8301]

WHAOUHHHHH Je me souviens d'un concert au Rainbow auditorium à Roanne dans les seventies ! J'étais au light show et ai passé le concert avec des appareils entre les jambes, sur les poutres de la structure du toit, bien stone !!! Quel souvenir. MERCI du rappel. Gégé (71 ans).

[@gowstube]

Bon temps!

[@BlackEmperorGaming]

I've listened to this song hundreds of times, and I basically HAVE TO find the vinyl for this but I think 9' ("medley") might be one of the finest prog songs ever written. Thank you all for everything, respect for the standing and the fallen. You are, in a sense, truly immortal.

[@simonbertioli4696]

Great to hear this live again.. Saw them twice back in the 70s...they even spoke to me.. Great days.. motorbikes, dancing and girls.. 😁. No real fear of wars..and the destruction. I hope they keep playing live...for years to come. As l have all their music on vinyl...and some 💿s. Thank for the video 👍🇬🇧🇪🇦as we say here in Spain 'chulo'...

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Amazing to watch a bunch of, on the face of it, old men playing music like they’re still in their 20s. I saw these in the early 80s in Cardiff University, and it’s still one of my favourite gig memories. I’d never been in an audience, before or since, that spent the entire gig sitting cross-legged in front of the band. A fog of cannabis in the air. Thanks for the memories.

[@StoanPhrogg]

I'm only 29 and Caravan's one of my favorite bands ever. Really wish I could've experienced the vibes in the early 70s, but just happy to have them in my life. I had no idea they were touring so recently!

[@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491]

Lucky. ❤ moonjunista!

[@madaboutpiano1]

Had all the Caravan albums in the 1970's and saw them perform 'live' several times. They are a brilliant band who still sound amazing.

[@sergiomotta4931]

Quite a masterpiece of all times! Top-notch band making quality music from the very start far back in the late 60's. Outstanding! 🇬🇧🎼🎼👏👏👏 🇧🇷

[@jayall00]

This is absolutely superb... they perfected it!!! This song introduced me to the world of prog music and I'll never forget it.

[@joanneharrison5745]

I was there! My first Caravan concert.

[@rhodaborrocks1654]

One of my most favourite songs ever, I still have my original copy of In the land of Grey and Pink, the sleeve is a bit tatty after all this time but the vinyl is near perfect, still play it today.

[@elrobertoreal]

Still outstanding!

[@hankbannister]

Love to see guys of my age with my looks, who play a song from my youth!

[@taddda]

Great!! Incredible !!! Thank you for this masterpiece

[@George.Andrews.]

Just love it . Grey and pink is an album I only play on special occasions. I sometimes get a bit emotional while listening.

[@seamanjive]

Wonderful....loved it, amazing and very evocative. Great performances by all....but special mention for drums from me. Thx

[@adancs]

How lucky those of you that can watch them perform this live! They won't come to Argentina sadly. One of the best tracks ever, what a band. Can't believe how they performed this live, in front a small audience.

[@dab42bridges80]

Such a great band, I was there back in the early days of Caravan.

[@teichezgege8301]

me too :)

[@davidwade2737]

Thanks for posting this. We had a great time at the gig. Fantastic band. Felt for Mark hidden at the back.

[@Edmant]

What a gem. I love this song. I bought ITLOGAP when it came out. Love Caravan to this day. Keep going guys !

[@jamesmurray1449]

Richard Sinclair vocals will never be matched

[@lucchommeloux254]

So good !!!!

[@robertmiller3750]

Wow ! The level of musicianship is incredible. Takes me way back to when I grew up on classic rock late 60s early 70s. So many terrific bands around we were spoilt ! Listen to that keyboard 👍😄

[@davidhockley1082]

Brilliant band...Loved them since I was sixteen...And will love them 'til I die...But here on Earth, I just another 20 mins of heaven.

[@massimotoccafondi4288]

Avevo 16 anni quando ho ascoltato i Caravan... per la prima volta.Ed i Soft Machine ,ancor prima nel '67...beh! ne valeva la pena... o no?

[@candymintz]

I bought the album in 1970 and a little while later Caravan were playing live in the town I lived in, fantastic band....and this track very trippy as in aceeeeeeeeeedddd :)

[@X976V3T]

wow ...blown away by this. Excellent.

[@steveheywood7795]

one of my favorite songs by a favorite band

[@maxinedunnett8353]

Flute so perfect soulful vocal too reminds me of my youth flowers and kaftans x

[@choomanfoo]

And Afghan coats for 20 quid that two could sleep under in a snow covered field.

[@cachinnans]

Bloody great. And good to see David Hockney in the front row.

[@steevenfrost]

i saw them at Chester Live Rooms autumn 2021 14th October, almost same line up, except Lee Pomeroy on Bass. i had a wonderful night it was a time where bands were at last allowed to play. they were all on top form. Their new cd "it's None Of Your Business" is one of the best I've heard from any of their contemporaries.

[@jean-jacquessaussey5697]

merci à ces musiciens de toujours me faire rêver...

[@andytheflyer]

Have I really been listening to this track for 50 years?

[@SteveAstronaut]

No, 51!

[@wardman21]

dude! this rocks so hard!

[@maxinedunnett8353]

Exceptional guitars their sound is unique 👌

[@roqueirosemfronteiras]

Banda sensacional! Escutei o álbum "In the Land of Grey and Pink" na íntegra e estou impressionado! Parabéns a essa maravilhosa banda por continuar na estrada proporcionando momentos incríveis como esse do show acima.

[@awaken77]

Nine Feet Underground is the longest organ solo in rock!

[@tramlad2]

Still a great band, love them, these guys were so good so humble and so funny, an amazing band who made some tremendous songs, Pye Hastings is a god!

[@maxinedunnett8353]

Wow stunning 😍

[@CyrusTaraporvala]

Thanks for sharing. The young lad with the sticks isn't too bad either :)

[@gowstube]

Cyrus Taraporvala Mark is one of the nicest people I know. He's playing with a band he grew up listening to.

[@ponchoman49]

Wow that was awesome. Such a great band

[@francoismonnot3253]

Ca ne nous rajeunit pas, mais ça n'a pas pris une ride....Back to the Land of Grey and Pink

[@jeff-bg2fn]

Totalement d'accord avec vous. Ca, c'était de la musique. Pas comme maintenant. Quelle misère et quelle vacuité en matière mélodique. Vivent les années 70 , 80.

[@teichezgege8301]

Et que j'écoute toujours avec grand plaisir !!!

[@geoffwhiles8223]

A wonderful track, this track made me shiver with excitement. The boys from Herne Bay did really well. But Pye, those high notes?

[@peterfennell6166]

Cannot wait to see them at The Fleece in Bristol on Monday 21 March 2022

[@maxinedunnett8353]

Violin classy 👌

[@lebabouin7850]

i spent my life trying to live in a Caravan song

[@PeterSpaeter96]

Well, eventually it'll be "Nine Feet Underground" for all of us, won't it?

[@philippe1039]

J'écoute toujours ce morceau avec le même plaisir. Dommage quand même que David Sinclair ne soit plus au clavier.

[@teichezgege8301]

Philippe de Roanne ?

[@philippe1039]

Non je ne suis pas Philippe de Roanne. J'habite à Guise dans l'Aisne....et toujours fan du Caravan de cette époque là.

[@choomanfoo]

Used to often listen to this stoned while playing umpadumpers in Paul's house.

[@garyshepherd9226]

Great version

[@captainweard]

I did the live sound for this show and organised the recording.

Prog rockers still rocking.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

love it!!

[@petebilling276]

I missed this one Gareth, I'm a huge fan of the early Caravan stuff! At least Pye Hastings is still going strong - but I miss Richard Sinclair... I hear the lovely Lee Pomeroy has joined the band on bass, I'd definitely like to hear that!

[@gowstube]

Hi Pete. Actually Pye is struggling now but still a great man. We saw Caravan in Brighton last year, I think. They were talking about going to Japan! Lee's the nicest guy and could play anywhere but he told me he loves his Prog.

[@gowstube]

Wow, two years ago. Check out Golf Girl for how brilliantly Lee fits in with the band.

[@petebilling276]

@@gowstube I just did, thanks! Lee is one of my favourite bass players - &, as you say, the nicest, most modest guy you could meet.

[@fernandoamilpa171]

El rock progresivo vigente.!

[@stevemeyer2400]

Sorry Geoffrey but without Doug Boyle it's Jan who steps up to the plate. Greatly underrated keyboard player. Been my band since buying Waterloo Lily in Cob Records in Portmadoc, North Wales in 1972 and seen them many times - including Old Buckenham School. Even lucky enough to have met the "real"😀 Golf Girl :-))

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

stil good......................................

[@indigofruit59]

Just saw them play this last night in Brighton, you'd think Pye's comment about the broomstick would wear thin but he is still saying it.

[@risboturbide9396]

RIP Richard Coughlan

[@annuvynarawn392]

amazing

[@maxinedunnett8353]

Drummer too !

[@richardgibbs1758]

Forget boy bands, Beyoncé, P Squiddly, Taylor the over-rated sparkly girl, Rap in its entirety. This is fantastic real music played by excellent musicians. Our young could benefit so much from listening to this. And luckily some are . . .

Wanted to listen, but couldn't make it through the introductions...

Just move the slider along to the start of the song.

On guitar and singing
