Fanny - The Session WSIU-TV (1972)

[@williamgreenfield9991]

Little known fact: Fanny got permission from the Beatles to add another verse to Hey Bulldog. It's the one about attitude. Just saw Fanny live in Sacramento a couple of months ago. They are still kickin' serious rock and roll ass after 50+ years!

[@charlesking5328]

Lucky man ! I would love to see them myself 🤞

[@jameskennedy721]

Should have been huge . Serious rock fans know about them , tho .

[@charlesking5328]

I consider myself a serious fan and only found out a few years ago. Grew up in the mid-west ( Indiana ) thinking that had something to do with it. Never too late.

[@paulbgraham4936]

Big fan of Fanny - just found this gem video. I first started listening to them in HS in '70 or '71. One of the best rock bands of that era. They had it all: stellar musicianship, great vocals and great songs. They deserved SO much more.

[@ralorpa]

Imagine if the Fanny-girls knew that lots of people would dig their music, more than 50 years later... Dig all of them...

We've been waiting......so glad you're here! Alice

Alice de Buhr = Drum goddess. Whirlwind moves, always lands perfectly. Everyone has a bad night sometime, but no clips of it have surfaced yet!

[@ScottDaddyMac]

She is exactly that. Drummers back then could make or break a band. She is one of those drummers that knows when not to play and when to ramp up the power. She is a joy to listen to.

[@RelOKeefe]

@@ScottDaddyMac She sure is, rock solid and in the pocket!

[@alicedebuhr6457]

Oh, I know I had a few off nights....I still cringe when I speed up or slow down the tempo and it's not on purpose. Just lose myself in the energy! Thanks! Alice

Superb concert. Fanny should have been huge back in the day whereas now they just seem to be known as pioneers for women. They're all great musicians and boy can they rock.

[@alicedebuhr6457]

The four of us each brought something unique to Fanny, and when we meshed, the sound we made....still amazes (and thrills) me! Thanks! Alice

Fanny sounds so Good,because they Practice,Practice,Practice everyday . At home while not on tour they practiced nearly 8 to 12 hours daily. They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame ! ❤

[@KevyNova]

Drums, guitar, bass, piano and vocals are all ON POINT!

Jean was magical. Her bass playing was just SOOOOO good, and great to play with! Alice

It's almost like finding a previously unknown live set from the Beatles. Thank you for posting.

[@ScottDaddyMac]

I love this band. Thank god for KZbin to allow me to see this.

[@nigellangridge1975]

JUNE, JEAN, ALICE & NICKEY. They were ASTONISHING! Harmonies as tight and sweet as their music is dynamic and exciting! This is wonderful find and a great companion to their “Beat Club” sets!

[@That_AMC_Guy]

I've noticed that too. Their harmonies are AMAZING especially considering they've got no monitoring system or headsets. They are simply that tight and in tune to each other that they know their parts. It's hard to get a GOOD harmony in the studio and yet they make it look completely effortless here live!

[@user-ps9zn2vf5v]

Джун великолепна. Да все девчонки просто супермузыкантши. Это внутренняя химия.

[@alicedebuhr6457]

Well, MY harmony parts did stray from sharp to flat many times! But, thank you! Alice

[@KevyNova]

7:09 look how flawlessly Jean slides up to those high notes on her bass without looking and while singing!

[@robin7771]

Wow this is great! Thank you for posting. Sound is not quite as good as Beat Club but any live Fanny from the early 70's is appreciated. They sound great as always and look like they are having fun.

[@leepshin]

Agreed, the sound could be better but still, these girls seriously fuckin' rock.

[@stephenhowell5611]

My uncle went to see them in Birmingham UK and he bought the Fanny Hill album, I remember listening to it on headphones while staring at the album cover lol. I think they made a bigger impression in the UK than the States tbh. Great band, you can buy their cd's/vinyl on their website, and check out the Beat Club live set by them on here.

[@frankyrubful]

Fanny are a top class band!! It’s a pity they didn’t have the success they deserved in the 70s.To be honest, I had never heard of them until just a few months ago

[@louiebee6745]

I have all the Fanny albums on vinyl (yes, even the one on Casablanca) and it's always great to hear and see them doing their thing live!👍

[@mattoneil2635]

Is drummer Cam Davis credited on any of Fanny's records?

[@louiebee6745]

@@mattoneil2635 No Cam replaced Brie Howard after the Rock and Roll Survivors LP was completed. Toured with them briefly, then Fanny broke up for good.

[@aquamarine99911]

Wow, haven't seen this. Everyone in every video always comments on Alice's fantastic drumming, but I'm starting to notice how Jean's bass really drives the band. And how she can do that while singing lead or harmony vocals is NOT EASY. "Knock on my Door" is a good song . Hah, they added their own verse to "Hey Bulldog". That's cool.

[@alicedebuhr6457]

Jean and I were so tight. Looking back, it was a HUGE honor for me to be the other half of that rhythm section with her! Alice

[@cjh8724]

They were so good! Thanks for adding more live Fanny content. The studio cuts don’t compare.

[@3fingersjkjk480]

Whoever did the sound mixing did an amazing job can clearly hear each drum piece. I have played the Les Paul June Millington used on this show, she showed me the key to start off “Charity Ball” in, I know who she bought it from one heard his name filled her in on what happened to him since he was a good friend, and played his hit song for her my way which thrilled her. Past few years Fanny had a reunion at June’s house and IMA in Goshen,MA before Jean’s stroke playing these same exact songs in this video 50+ years later with same perfect timing and harmony. Can look up this on June Millington’s KZbin channel, learn about her youth music camps, upcoming concerts at IMA, Books coming out, support Jean’s stroke recovery etc.

[@dbbubba1]

She still has that Les Paul doesn't she?

Love this. Such a shame their studio work was so over produced. Don't know who owns what but hopefully one day their albums will be remastered.

[@barryjones9056]

Absolutely agree with your comment . Heard their Beat Club performances , thought wow , gotta get their albums . But they lacked the power and energy of those videos ! Very disappointing ! Some studio dumbbell had no appreciation of what they were . IMHO

[@nealmont]

This one of those bands you had to see live!

[@tiki_trash]

I didn't discover them until the late 70s and then I had to rediscovered them a few more times, now I just can't get enough. I ran into an old friend the other day and I asked him if he remembered a band called Fanny. His eyes flew open, and he said, "Holy fuck that band could rock!" That lucky mutha got to see them back in the day, I am so jealous. I can't get enough!

[@fmtfniuprog8029]

@@barryjones9056 There are many cases like this... a few years ago I attended a concert by a Portuguese band that was releasing its first album... The sound of the studio album is very soft poprock, but live it was pure hardrock with powerful guitars!

[@lyrical7747]

OMFG, a new-to-me live performance by Fanny?! I could cry, I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS!! The audio is kind of crummy, unfortunately (I *know* June's guitar sounds better than that...especially during the first song, because, um, well...normally one can hear it at all, at least? Or was it just me? 😓), but that shouldn't stop anyone from recognizing the pure TALENT and smooth, yet hardworking charisma of this band. I loved getting to see the audience's reactions to them, especially during "Charity Ball" which graciously turned into an all-out jam with June playing slide!! What a show, what a band. I'm grateful beyond words for every single chance to witness for myself how Fanny are one of the greatest rock bands in history. As a young millennial, I can't imagine getting to literally witness history being made by this band in real-time, but at least I get to occasionally witness how it happened in retrospect, and for that I am deeply appreciative.

The producer(s) of their albums just had to record them live. The albums are good but the band is fantastic if they get loose snd start to jam. Overproduction always kills the music. And the second song is not called just "Bulldog"😂 And they rock it.
