Jessas, Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity waren schon der Hammer, einfach genial... 👌👍😊😇🤩

Really something and really new 60s. I dig the psychedelic back projection and lighting too. Even if it is in black and white. Very cool and very groovy. Too bad this band didn't last longer and go further with their music.

[@HelenGarland-d2q]

Got the original single in my collection and yes it's one of my favourites. This tune over the years has stood the test of time and is still massive in the Mod Clubs today

[@markbrandon7756]

Unequalled just an incredible performance and video.

[@HoursaDay]

Underrated cover of a classic Richie Havens tune. Good stuff.

[@simongarrettmusic]

was wondering where it came from - heard Bob Marley do it

[@ek6278]

Es war 1969, jeden Samstag saß ich vor dem TV, ich war 14, aber ich liebe diese Stimme und ich möchte am liebsten die Zeit zurückdrehen. ❤❤❤

[@thomasmiles340]

Thanks. This is really a special band. Love Vic Briggs here. Driscoll had phenomenal pipes. She was always being touted as a British version of Grace Slick. Cheers.

Mod- floorfiller. Love Julie's haircut😍🥰

Before this Julie ran The Yardbirds fan club....

[@jaceklangiewicz3486]

Coś pięknego. Pamiętam, jak słuchałem Radio Luxemburg. A było to w drugiej połowie lat sześćdziesiątych. To były czasy. To była muzyka. Dzięki za publikację. Pozdrawiam serdecznie

[@groover5524]

Don't remember this track ( of course just about everyone remembers wheels on fire ) . Julie Driscoll had a great voice . That Hammond though ! WOW !

[@jimlance583]

Was this on their double album, "Streetnoise?"

[@andypalin3287]

Take me back! 🤘😎🎸

[@Sota-son]

Auggie is just fantastic and one of the nicest guys you'll ever talk to. Top of my bucket list would be one more chance to see him! One of the only keyboard players that can match the sheer power of the great guitar masters.

So cool. It‘s sooo coool 🫶 yeah

[@hundredsroadwerewolf]

Everyone here looks wasted + this seems like it prefigures prog + glam, soaked with excess + (maybe) doom - but Brian Auger and Julie Discoll are still among us in 2022, making music. Really something else.

[@Jovandenbroek56]

Written and performed by Richie Havens. Julie Driscoll's and Brian Auger's performance makes it a classic.

[@chrismorgan7494]

This is da bomb!

[@davidfoss4761]

Great to see them on video even though they are lip syncing, in case you couldn't tell by the notable absence of amplifiers and even a cord for the bass. That was the usual scenario for bands playing on TV shows back then. Long-time Jools fan, ever since "Open" was released.

[@robmac6508]

I'm pretty sure Julie Driscoll is singing live to a backing track here.

[@groover5524]

Beat Club often had full live performances . More often than not . Not this one of course , but the vocals sound live .

[@concatinate]

​@@robmac6508 Live vocals + band backing track was very common in pop music tv around this time...see, f'rinstance, the Small Faces from on Colour Me Pop the year before.

[@markclowe]

Not to mention the complete lack of a drummer here!!!! :-) Also, the part Brian seems to be playing with his left hand sounds more like it's being made with a Wurlitzer or something sonically, that growling tine sound.

[@davidfoss4761]

@@markclowe Jeez, how could I have not noticed the missing drummer! Wish I'd gotten to see them back in the day.

I first knew this song in a version by Mr. Bob Marley, entitled 'African Herbman'. This is my first time to hear it this way however.

Indian Rope Man ist wohl der einzige song, den ich gleich von 3 interpreten großartig finde, von Julie, von Richie Havens und Inga Rumpf.

The entire band was solid. Brian in his recent interview with Claudio (Doctor Mix) talks about the importance of a good rhythm section.
