History of Rock & Roll - The 1970s

[@williamlangan5902]

And how about Chicago, the pioneers of "jazz rock"?

[@sheriandreas8260]

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.

[@jonathanedwards8696]

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.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

You should check out History of Rock 50s if you wanna hear more about how the saxophone was incorporated at the birth of rock and roll. I mentioned The Band in the 60s video.

[@paladin313]

Say, J.T., I've heard it said that punk came around because some just wanted to make some fun music that anyone could learn to play, reaching back to the old 12 or 16-bar three-chord rock of the '50s. Of course, with modern pick-ups, amps, and tech, it made it what it was. That was what I was told. I was hoping you could support or debunk that for me and help me clarify that in my head.

Brown Sugar refers to Black women, who both Mick and Keith had a thing for. "How come you dance/taste so good?" That song was written entirely by Mick (just as Gimme Shelter was written entirely by Keith). Both Mick and Keith learned how to play in open G tuning by Ry Cooder.

ABBA was almost as big as the beatles, they were one of the best bands in the 70s and 80s, check out "the album", "voulez vous", "super trouper" and "the visitors".

Ok. Hear me out on this. The absolute best song pairing is ... Layla ... fading in to Even In The Quietest Moments. Some nighttime DJ did this and I managed to capture it on a cassette tape. 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.

[@MegaFreddie46]

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.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

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. In fact, similarly, there’s no footage of Pink Floyd playing DARK SIDE at the time (but there was no way I could leave DARK SIDE out). I may make a second little video where we go through some extra stuff and Genesis will definitely be included.

My take away from the history of the 1970s: INCONCIEVABLE!

[@drothberg3]

This is a masterpiece!

[@locman75]

Loved this video. Gonna add all kinds of 70s music to my phone

[@charlesandrews2360]

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.

[@danthan9679]

I love your videos. Can’t wait to see your 80’s video.

[@cristianperez2903]

I love the production values on these videos. I especially love the way JT pronounces "Quinten-sential"

[@MorpheusTheBro]

That was brilliant! Well worth the wait, you guys smashed it. Top stuff

[@haskeymorrison]

Rest in peace Jay Curtis. Whoever you were, you must’ve been great

[@JTCurtisMusic]

He plays the Hippie bum and was our original director

[@paladin313]

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!

[@takodabostwick8507]

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.

[@PeasGraveny]

Well 'guitarmonies' has just become the latest addition to my vocabulary. It's genius and it waa right there in front of me all this time yet I didn't see it. Bravo sir!

[@georgerocha3129]

don’t forget Bob Seager and The Silver Bullet Band

[@keitha.563]

Zeppelin by far the most popular band in the 70's. It's no contest!!

[@julianbinns216]

Umm... Eagles sold more, but I love the Zep!

[@vegasspaceprogram6623]

Pink floyd?

[@keitha.563]

@@vegasspaceprogram6623 As good as they are in the 70's Zep still way more popular .

@@julianbinns216 Zep owned the 70's The eagles sold more in the last 20 years than when the 70's were rocking. Zep was number 1 ... It's just facts .

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yep, sold the most albums and played to the biggest crowds. Number one album in 1970. Number one album in 1979. Many other number one albums in between. Nobody else did that.

[@linjoy9627]

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.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Lin Joy yes “Bang a Gong” sadly was cut, great song though. To be added for an extras video.

[@countessratzass5408]

Elton John didn’t play on TRex’ recording Bang a Gong, Rick Wakeman did. There is a video where Elton John is playing but that was mimed.

[@linjoy9627]

@@countessratzass5408 Elton John played on the TOTP's (Top of The Pop's) a 30 minute TV music programme on BBC TV in the UK. Elton got paid £9 for miming "Bang a Gong"

[@chrisgreene2623]

JT has his faves, and shares them and defends his choices.

[@antitoastthe2nd]

I wish that the sex pistols had a greater focus in the punk section. They’re one of the most influential groups around despite only having one album and being around for 3 years. I feel like a less than minute long section discussing them is a little underwhelming

[@antidylan4716]

thanks for getting me through my History of Rock final exam. BLESS YOU

[@paladin313]

Oh...my...God! I am old enough to remember that sequence with Stevie Wonder doing that rendition of "Superstition" on Sesame Street when it happened! Ugh...I feel old! (IMHO, best live version of that I've ever heard by him...but there could be others of which I am not aware...)

[@opietwoep1247]

Wierd my initials are JTC and my dad's name is Curtis . Lol also love music especially rock n roll and heavy metal.

[@linjoy9627]

Just occurred to me what happened to "Bad Company"? For the 80's:- Here are some suggestions:- The Tubes Squeeze, Eurythmics - Annie Lennox ,(she's from my home town) Simply Red, INXS , Dire Straits, Prince, AC/DC, Gun's n' Roses, U2, Iron Maiden, Michael Jackson ...(.Thriller, Billy Jean), Squeeze, Motörhead, White snake, Police, George Michael. Please. If you have any room left on your next history after all these bands please more David Bowie and Queen. Thank you.

We give Bad Company a quick mention at 23:09
