Just came across your video today about ‘70’s rock. That David Gilmour sure was the CUTEST & still very handsome, but that’s not why I decided to leave a comment. Skynyrd’s Freebird never gets old, EVER! Neil Young is a Canadian, how dare he say or sing anything about the States when the First Nations people of Canada were being horribly mistreated even murdered from those in authority to catholic church leaders & many others in between. Thanks to the good people of Canada who helped the beautiful First Nations people. Buffy Sainte Marie is a famous ‘60’s folk singer, she is one of many talented indigenous from Canada.

It including everything I was looking for, and covered the groups and events in an intelligent and well articulated manner. The comic relief was welcome as well.

For a youngster, I was pretty impressed with your choices, (with a few corrections.) The quintessential progressive rock album was "In the Court of the Crimson King," (1969), by King Crimson. NOT "Dark Side." Between 1969 and 1975 King Crimson put out the most incredible albums of the decade. You might not know this, but a lot of King Crimson's work was recorded live on stage! They had the balls to get up in front of thousands of people and do total improvisations! And, If you going to highlight John Bonham, why not highlight Bill Bruford, the original drummer for Yes, who left Yes to play with King Crimson. He then went on to form U.K., tour with Genesis, then start his own band with English guitar wizard Alan Holdsworth. How's that for a resume? Please more of a Hurrah! for Joan Jett. She wasn't the first woman to strap on an electric guitar, (Sister Rossetta Sharpe), but she was the first to do it with attitude. I've been playing the drums for over 50 years and the saxophone for 30. I was 15 in 1970. How old were you? You forget The Faces, and you forgot The Band, the original roots rock band. I'm glad you didn't mention Rush, I don't like them. The saxophone and rock have a long history, I'd like to see a video on that. The last bands to use saxophone were The E Street Band, Huey Lewis and the News, Pink Floyd, and Supertramp. It's time to bring it back.

It became my "reset mix". Layla winds you up, and then EITQM relaxes the hell out of you. The crossfade this guy did between the two was brilliant. It wasn't just "this ends, this begins". But if that's all you can get, it still works. Not a pairing most people would think of, but a great stress reliever. Give it a try.

What about Genesis? You forgot them. They deserved at least a mention. Peter Gabriel is one of the most important, original and marvelous artists of all time, with Genesis and solo, then I hope that you will dedicate some time to him in the next video about '80s, because he definitely was one of the biggest in that decade, with experimental pop-rock, a blend of electronic and world music, remaining accessible. You made a very entertaining video, and I like it, but I wished you would mention Genesis with one/two songs: "Firth of Fifth" has one of the best guitar solos ever, Steve Hackett pioneered tapping in rock music (listen to "The Musical Box" and "The Return of the Giant Hogweed" from their "Nursery Cryme" album), Peter Gabriel was a creative prodigy, and he was not less important than David Bowie, as regards stage persona, make-up and costumes. Peter and David were pioneers in the same time (it was a question of months and it is very difficult to say who came first with the idea of wearing glam costumes). Anyway, I think Gabriel was less pop, and he created a sort of art which went beyond the limits of rock music. I really like and respect David Bowie, but for me Peter Gabriel was (and is) way more brilliant.

PaulGenesis well I knew this was bound to come up. In cutting down the list, not including anything from LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY was a tough call, but one of the reasons was I couldn’t find any good footage of them performing from that tour.

I may make a second little video where we go through some extra stuff and Genesis will definitely be included.

Jiminy Hendrix was a paratrooper with the 101st airborne division in Vietnam. Barry Oakley's crash was within 3 blocks of where Duane crashed. Keith Moon, the Octopus. RIP I got to meet Tony Iommi after a Sabbath concert. Yes, he invented his own fingertips after he cut one off and part of another off at work.

I grew up in the 70's. You look too young to remember it, but this was a very accurate summary. There were a few bands that got tons of airplay back then that you didn't include, but I mostly didn't like them because they were horribly overplayed (then, and now on classic rock stations), so I'm OK with that.

I lived my entire teenage years during the 70s. I was primarily a Dead fan all those years but I listened to everything. 78 when I turn 20 I went and saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse on their rust never sleeps tour and then the next summer we killed disco at disco demolition and that closed out the 1970s for me. As far as new waivers go Elvis Costello on Graham Parker with the best of the bunch.

I loved the "Afternoon Delight" comment when you dealt with, "Why didn't you include..." Ugh... That song is horrid, and it went to #1? Yikes! In fact, my memory from my youth in that time, (I was born in1969,) is fuzzy, but I believe Starlight Vocal Band actually had a short-lived variety show, and all because of that one song. I can think of no others that they did, nor do I want to!

Sad to see Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd go. The last original member of the band. I hope that after the tour, they're done for good because it's just a tribute/cover band now. They're one of my all time favorite bands. Lynyrd Skynyrd's self title debut from 1973 is a masterpiece. Every song is all killer no filler. Free Bird is a magnificent song and I don't care if it's overplayed as hell or not! Such a banger of a song.

Now I've watched and kudos to you JT, you've certainly nailed the 70's. I did miss T.Rex with Marc Bolan, who was the one who invented glam rock. On his song "Bang a Gong" ( Get it on) Elton John played piano on the record, his performance can still be seen on KZbin , he got paired the princely sum of £9 , not too much then but even less now! His best friend David Bowie, took over the financing of Marc's young son when he was killed in a car crash. All his finances were tied up by a company in the Bahamas who wouldn't provide for Rolan, because he was illegitimate. There are many more in the music industry wonder where their money went, but David Bowie made sure he and his mum wanted for nothing. Marc also had a another friend Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel "Come up and See Me" (make me smile) who also brought quite a bit to the table in this era. My favourite Jon Lord from Deep Purple's quote was about where Richie Blackmore went with his guitar that "his Hammond had to toughen up to follow"! On the subject of ELP, Greg Lake said in his biography what he learned from the man that taught him and Robert Fripp of King Crimson guitar was "For every 4 songs you play to the audience, then you can play 1 for yourself"... great Biography to read. The only group missing is Genesis with Peter Gabriel...... Supper's Ready... a masterpiece in 7 parts and "I know what I like" (in your wardrobe). JT it was wonderful to see how you fitted your Dad into the of History of Rock the 70's. a great tribute.
