East Of Eden - Jig-a-Jig

[@renevis-video]

Dave Arbus, who played violin in East Of Eden, also played on "Baba O'Riley" by The Who.

[@peterstruck-weise2790]

Ein so geiles Stück Musik , nach vielen Jahren jetzt wiedergehört...

[@barbaraduffy5552]

Fantastic band saw them at Pandora's night club Swansea in the 70's, brought the house down amazin band

[@timpea9766]

I was an under age drinker in a Stourbridge heavy metal pub in the 70s. When I felt brave enough I'd ask the DJ to play this, he looked at me with a cool smile and nod.

[@yourwifesboyfriend42069]

Conundrum of identity.

[@NJStanton]

This makes me happy

[@paulinespeight4908]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@kevingollner552]

Came to KZbin to find obscure 70's songs/one hit wonders. Found this gem and was not disappointed.

[@lemsip207]

I remember it in the charts at the time and I danced a jig down the road when I heard it.

[@carolebarker2195]

Have a look at the 1971/72 music playlist on my channel, Kevin!

[@daviddennison6578]

Kevin, have you heard of a band Heavy Jelly. D

[@Pwecko]

This was played at lots of parties back in the 70s and it was guaranteed to get everyone on their feet. Brilliant.

[@Eirran2]

I used to be a DJ at the university in the 70s. And sure, this song filled the crowded dance floor

[@USBBenson]

Not just in the 70'es. My friends and I had a little dance for this in the 90'es and we still do it when we see eachother.

[@joemorris143]

Supported them when I was in my first band in about 1972, I think at the King's Cross all nighter. 68 in August and still gigging.

[@daviddavenport7146]

Respect .

[@anthonymcnamee6297]

Used to love the King’s Cross all nighters man budgie etc etc

[@Japanknees]

My 4 year old daughter LOVES this song.

[@royandjacqueline1294]

BBC radio 2. Johnny Walker is playing this right now 💞💗💞💗💞💗 🥰🇯🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🕊️🔥✝️

[@xristosmixailidis132]

Greetings from Greece,!!!!!!

[@yossarian6799]

By high school, my big sister was a budding choreographer. For the 1975 school talent show, she choreographed a modern, rock-themed interpretation of an Appalachian flatfoot jig set to this song. Those four kids brought the house down. The audience went insane.

[@simontaylor2319]

Years since I heard this

[@JoannaHills-r2p]

Ron comes into the shop I work in. Lovely man with some great stories

[@rebeccaryan6977]

He lives in Hove opposite coombs pet shop

[@raceching]

Absolute classic, bar none. They were brilliant.

[@iqosuser2754]

Ahhhhhh I been searching for this sing for ages ...I absolutely love it !!!!!

[@bobatherton2959]

Back in the 70's our agent for my band was Al Read. He was in the original line-up back in '68.

[@jackjc1447]

bob atherton, al read was a member of east of eden for a very short time around mid 1968,he played on their first single "king of siam/balad of harvey kaye" released in june 1968.

[@DaveAndBeth1978]

Mad how quickly the original line-up disappeared off the scene... By 1972, all the original members had gone, although they continued to record as East Of Eden for about 5 years afterwards.....

[@brianeaton9820]

Great band see them live in early 70’s at Bisley Pavillion.

[@louiseredmond8824]

Saw East of Eden in Aberdeen in 1969; brilliant!

[@paraskevasvelitsikakis8728]

Every single morning for the past 2 years (up until a couple of months ago) , my favourite radio producer used to have this song as his intro ! Every day at 7 o'clock . Amazing band !!

[@corc01]

These tunes have been played by Irish trad players for generations. I love this record

[@vasileiosgiotisofficial]

Which tunes are they?

[@koza3218]

​@@vasileiosgiotisofficial The song consits of three traditional Irish reels. They are Jenny's Chickens, Drowsy Maggie and The Ashplant, respectively.

[@TheBEALMusic]

This is just awesome!! Great band!

[@stephenbrooks9770]

Bloody fantastic..

[@LeftLib]

I am a student at the City University in London, and they have old posters on the wall from gigs in the past. They have one from 1969 of one of my favourite bands; Pentangle. The support act was East of Eden so I thought I would check them out here. I am very impressed.

[@Lyork]

Could you send a photo of this poster from your phone. I am the bass player's wife and he passed away over a year ago. Thanks so much, if you can.

[@sighkid]

@@Lyork I'm not the same person but for what it's worth I just listed an East of Eden poster on ebay. It's in poor condition though!

[@mikedrinan5223]

saw them play this in Cheltenham, England in the early '70's...dancing in the aisles indeed 😊

[@heightsidecare4020]

What a song to get the party going!!

[@Gagi]

Einfach nur genial!

[@enlightenedevolution7648]

Sweet Memory

[@TheCornishCockney]

proper knees-up tune.Remember seeing them live in 1970 at some festival or other and they got everyone up and dancing.

[@AuntyM66]

I loved dancing to this.

[@RHR-221b]

I love spinning to this, A. Stay free. 🎄 🍻 😎.

[@FergyGuitar]

I don't know how many tmes I have played this tune in various Irish / Celtic bands. It must be one of the erliest examples of "Celtic Rock" as I don't think Horslips were even formed back in 1971. Great stuff and thanks for that.

[@TheGenreman]

I love it when goes all Jazz Rockish in the middle a la Don Sugarcane Harris on Zappa's Hot Rats.

[@jackjc1447]

fergyguitar, horslips was formed in 1970 but didn't record until early 1972.

[@Miler97487]

Except for this song, East of Eden weren't a Celtic folk rock band. In their first two albums they were more of a psychedelic jazzy group that often flirted with Middle Eastern styles.

[@norbertkovacs1504]

Amazing!!

[@sonjastendera9537]

never heard about this song or the band before a few years. but one evening my ex and still friend and me had a vinyl evening so to speak and he has a lot of them!! he asked me to pick any song to dance and I just picked that from that huge vinyl collection without knowing that you can dance the heck out of you with that awesome song and rhythm!!!

[@sokratahmetovic4614]

I still remember that this great song:-)) was a so called signation song - at the beginning of Saturday night rock and disco program in a small local discoteque in my hometown:-)) - approx 30-35 ago:-)), when I was just a teenager...

[@grahamjobson7015]

Great favourite at the Wakes Arms Epping.

[@gradaco]

Amazing, forerunner of time

[@dillongstaff5625]

I bought a double album just for this track - in the days where record companies would reissue two albums as a double - The most sucesfull I think was the first two Tyrannosaurus Rex albums reissued which got to number 1 in the UK album charts in the wake of Electric Warrior / T. Rex hysteria .This gave the longest title for a UK number 1 album..."My people were fair and had sky in their hair but now they're content to wear stars on their brows / Prophets seers and sages the angels of the ages"

[@BillyBanter100]

Saw them live at the Chez Club at the Chestnut Tree pub Walthamstow in April 1970. I was 17 at the time. They played Jig A Jig about a month before it came out as a hit single. A very dynamite show as Frank Zappa would have said. Happy days.

[@borkamiki]

I haven't heard this since the'70.-s

[@sokratahmetovic4614]

Well, this great instrumental 😎😀 was a very first signation (intro) song that I remember, at the local discotheque where I used to go when I was a young teenager😎😀...

[@DavidEsp1]

Heard in 1971 UK thanks to London land-based pirate radio stations - who played it lots!

[@Lyork]

I understand one of these pirate radio stations was actually broadcast from an old ship in the channel. My husband was the bass player on this, and he told me about this, when the BBC would only play long-hair music!

[@DavidEsp1]

@@Lyork Radio Caroline did that in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, from ships at various marine locations, sometimes consecutively (2 ships at once). Also there was Radio Northsea International (RNI) in the 70’s and Laser 558 in the 80’s. They tended to be in the widest part of the Thames Estuary, then when that area was brought under British jurisdiction, they shifted to the Channel, at South Falls Head, bear Goodwin Sands, nearly half-way to France.

[@DavidEsp1]

@@Lyork I’m one of their volunteers now, it’s licensed (at last!) and has a 4KW medium wave transmitter on 648 KHz, also on web (eg browser, phone, smart speaker) and some DAB. I highly recommend their monthly special live “Caroline North” broadcasts from their final ship, the Ross Revenge, additionally on 1368 KHz, and they run visitors trips out there (not very far out!). Next one is planned (could change) for Feb 12.

[@depauleable]

Soooo frickn awesome, mate!

[@philipinchina]

Great.

[@salonsixtytwo]

Saw them live at the fox greyhound croydon great sound...

[@shemanic1]

I have this on a vinyl 45 I am pleased to say

[@rhapsag]

Surprising groovy drumming on the third tune.

[@borkamiki]

Azóta sem hallottam ezt a lemezt..

[@norbertkovacs1504]

Very good!

[@kololikate]

I found a single of Jig a Jig amongst some vinyl LPs with Marcus Junior on the B side.

[@perolero2452]

East of Eden ….Munich 1970 PN club👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidsimpson7508]

Going to the apples and pears in London great times

[@stephengreen6653]

Loved this to death played it to death

[@LhodaKblerz]

I also have this on 45, pleased to say, flip side Marcus Junior even better.

[@christophercoyne841]

Isn’t that the same fiddle player who played on the Who’s ‘Baba O’Reilly’? Dave Arbus I think his name is.

[@ΠάνοςΒ.Κοντόπουλος]

Sure www.allmusic.com/artist/dave-arbus-mn0000757759

[@jakespretorius9258]

That is correct

[@ShadowfangTC]

Playing in a death metal band nowadays under the same name, cool to see what other groups of our namesake were playing back in the day.

[@broncycolon7020]

Very,very,VERY underrated Band...😕

[@louiseredmond8824]

Saw them in Aberdeen in 1969

[@stevelubbock9919]

Saw them support Derek & the Dominoes (Layla), Torquay Aug 72, brilliant

[@Grant25099]

Just found out at aged 22 yrs old that this song is actually banned in many places due to the name jig-a-jig meaning f*** me in Gujarati. Hahahah what a jolly piece of music

[@Timo-15]

If you like this.....then try looking for the Irish Band called *HORSLIPS.* Check out: the songs called: 'Trouble with a capital T' or 'Dearg Doom'. And that's just for starters! They have a load of great songs to groove along to. They are great!

[@sagittarius7569]

🗣 The melody in this song is similar to "Drowsey Maggie" by *Mushroom* ( Band )
