MONTROSE--SPACE STATION #5 LIVE 1973

[@carsandchrome]

What a shame that this great band was so short lived. I'm just happy that I grew up listening to them in the 70's, what a privilege.

[@petegobeckli1386]

Steven Ball. I was sitting here thinking the same thing. 1973. QUEEN, 💋 KISS& MONTROSE. The great Ronnie Montrose. Man. Kiss & Queen take off & right when I headed toward H.S. in '77, Sammy is solo & is the RED ROCKER! 1foot on the pedal, 1foot on the ⛽ gas.

[@nothingisreal6816]

Luckily nowadays kids can grow up listening to them too!

[@jospehfager7646]

Brian Montrose and Sammy Hagar Ronnie Montrose Sammy Hagar to the best ever

[@jospehfager7646]

I'm ashamed I'm too drunk to give these guys the respect they deserve their both awesome and people will never give them the respect they deserve their awesome

[@BlazinRiver1]

Craig Powerplay on 11 cruising the backroads of southern Indiana....haha

[@Jedders1968]

I feel privileged to be able watch this brilliance 50 years later and it's great that Sammy is still around.

[@therichbuddha3277]

and absolutely killin this tune with Satriani!!

[@paulsguitarstudio126]

That was just the most kick ass album in the mid 70s, killer tone. Still cranks today. Thank you Ronnie, we miss you.

[@timcornell8975]

The simple fact this was a segment on a TV show in the 70s is testament on how great we were....✌

[@funningames2243]

True!

[@terryharrison5185]

The Old Grey Whistle Test was the gold standard of music television in the 70s... Whispering Bob Harris was The Man 😎📺👍

Damn....that is a powerful observation...here it is 03/16/2024 and most of the music we took for granted is every bit as important as the freedoms we take for granted. Both are fading away.

[@tedmontana2745]

We?😂

[@PaulMcCartGuitarTracks]

I still remember that chrome guitar with a theremin. It was like 1973 and they opened for Robin Trower, what a show!!!

[@BlazinRiver1]

I have a Moog Theremini coming ups today....lol I never had the chance to see Montrose. I did see Point Blank open for RT.

[@ScooterOnHisWay2024]

Mind numbing rock and roll. I loved this song back in the 70s. It blew my head off!

[@Capt-Hook]

You nailed it friend. It's all so clear. ✌

[@michaelstephen819]

Sammy was a real star.- even back then.

[@PaulMoskos]

Wicked version had me transfixed. Used to blast this on monster bass speakers at mushroom parties...pure heaven!!God bless Montrose❤

[@trowerz]

Those who know, know. Those who don’t…so sorry for them. RonMon FOREVER 🤘😇🎸

[@pamelawelch3443]

I been listening to Montrose years kick ass band 🤟

[@dublinshaw5968]

Saw them at Broome County arena Ronnie stop the show to get on the guy with the spot light ,telling him to get the light on Sammy cause this guy is going to be a star ! 🌟

[@martingimenez339]

The guy put a fking theremin on his guitar....who does that? Unique

[@richardwhite8227]

REST IN PEACE RONNIE MONTROSE

[@gjames7798]

This was included on a mix tape I was given in the 70s. Still awesome and back here to listen again!

[@rachelallison8753]

I was the first person in Rhode Island to get the debut album. My mother went to her brother's funeral in California, and I asked her to find it for me. She did

[@ericerickson7705]

Thank you, Ted Templeman. for getting this groups music out to us… and yes; and then Van Halen 😇

[@gilpetrovic5406]

new respect for Sammy. and Montrose. great track

[@littlejohnny4470]

This was one of the first albums I ever bought! I still love it! Ronnie Montrose, Denny Carmassi, Bill Church, and Sammy Hagar!

[@MDM0915]

Mr. Denny Carmassi holding it together…

[@richalderDVL]

Los Led Zeppelin gringos 🤯 Me encanta bastante esta banda, la vengo escuchando desde hace casi 7 años. Ronnie fue un gran guitarrista a pesar de su carácter que le dio muchos problemas con sus compañeros. Sammy uno de los grandes cantantes del rock y metal. El bajista y el baterista también excelentes. Gracias por este video.

[@jventure1961]

That's rock folks. Accept no substitutes. AC/DC and a few others in that era too.

[@markboller4313]

What a beautiful hard rock sound. ❤❤❤❤

[@yahoodlums]

Absolute alchemy! Hagar and Ronnie! This album is perfection.

[@kevh9497]

Not 1973 - this was filmed in May 1974 for The Old Grey Whistle Test, on which they also performed Bad Motor Scooter.

[@PhilosopherNewport]

Correct.

[@pauls9711]

Insanely awesome 👍😎.

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I saw Montrose back in 75 (I think). Black Oak Arkansas & Foghat opened for them. It didn't suck at all

[@mxbadboy263]

I hate you! :)

[@retlaw190]

I discovered this album in a thrift store in a whim in the 90s. I bought for 99 cents. Still play it to this day! SO Underrated!!! Sammy Hagars best!

[@tomthompson75]

Seen them outside Detroit Sammy played with his band then with Montrose headlines! He said Montrose never headlines but we are tonight what a great day and show!!!

[@gregorymceaddy8884]

I want more....love those guitars....today's value 30000 minimum..

[@user-so2dv3ob3s]

This performance is insane!!! Thank you so much for posting this 🤩

[@tdw5933]

Play this at my funeral and you better be pushing fifty amps!

[@apbozo]

Good suggestion dude!

[@TheDradge]

America's Roger Daltrey lookalike. Outstanding from 1973!

[@DanGoguen]

That guitar riff reminds me a lot of Stiff Little Fingers’ Suspect Device in this particular performance.

[@lindseymckirdy1830]

Definite lift by Jake

[@timcornell8975]

Yeah...but Ronnie's fingers created that riff 5 years prior to those that were stiff.

[@bluebloodedsumo]

Stiff pinched the sample

[@ElectricPylon]

I was about to say exactly the same thing! Excellent intro riff! Suspect device it's left 2000 dead.. da da da da dad daaaaa

[@stevenmccarthy534]

Absolutely!!!! That band was/is still Great!!! Seen em a few years ago,Fuckin Brilliant!!!

[@jospehfager7646]

Only running Montrose only running Montrose one of the best the best ever and any vocalist should be proud should be proud to run with him Sammy Hagar who is also one of the best

[@yootchoobe]

It's all a bit _Communication Breakdown_ innit? 😏 .. with a touch of Whole Lotta Love middle section thrown in.

[@funningames2243]

When California was cool.

[@joeflip2993]

Most excellent

[@BobothePirate24]

Put on your headphones and listen to the studio track. Your life will change. Your hair will be stuck to the ceiling and your face on the wall....

[@oldones59]

This song makes me feel like I've been plugged into an electrical socket!

[@richardk6659]

Awesome band, all of them. Ronnie Montrose was a MF guitarist. Singer was pretty good too, can't remember his name. Great memories of 70's R and R.

[@pamwelch7228]

Love it!

[@davidscott1052]

Remember seeing this first time around...old grey whistle test

[@sethtwc]

are we going to mention the kickass Theremin on that guitar

[@BlazinRiver1]

THANK YOU...I was wondering what the heck it was called.....lol. I got to find me one.

[@BlazinRiver1]

Holy Shit! $100.00 ..... OH YEAH

[@sethtwc]

@@BlazinRiver1 i had to do a double take, that is probably one of the most metal things to have

[@sethtwc]

@@BlazinRiver1 i don't think I've heard of any band today that uses a theramin on their guitar. Ive seen bands that have a theramin player and as a side instrument but not on a guitar. That would be sick to see a band like that

[@nealpobrien]

Hagar's half way between Daltry and Plant. Never heard this stuff before, dug that bad motor scooter song.

[@bobzvids]

great version!

[@Jenkinsjrinmi]

This helps to understand why Ted Templeman wanted to pull the trigger on Sam over DLR for VH. Dave was great but Sam has stood the test of time.

[@trowerz]

💯👍

[@Jonnypop99]

I bought tickets to see Sammy in Florida opening show, how awesome would it be if he played this

[@michaeldrevdahl2292]

frank had this record, we loved it (we all know a frank)

[@jondunmore4268]

Frank Kitchener - vocalist in the first major Sydney band I was in, 1985. Junkie. Dead now.

[@funningames2243]

Heavy metal bay bee!

[@redline2115]

Go Veleno! Go Theremin! Ronnie rules!

[@ryandeanlindgren9054]

[@machineman7806]

Great logo

[@Khatru39]

1973? Close; it was 21/5/74

[@robertozariskeeni1875]

Is this Whole Lotta Love??

[@polkadotcat]

hmmm, now that you mention it....

[@leonleon3773]

an absolute killer wow

[@ianc3576]

Absolute belter

[@fredericogobbi]

Montrose wasn't the American Led Zeppelin, Montrose was Montrose... Perhaps this comparison of the American media at the time with Led hindered the band's success. A shame, because they were wonderful 🎙️🎸🥁🎸... great band! (For those who are not familiar, in the early 70s Led Zeppelin's success was so great, especially in America, that every good band that emerged the American media wanted to compare, saying that this "new band was the American answer to Led" ).

[@davidscott1052]

Spot on..... Zep were Zep and Montrose were Montrose ...period

[@mmaranta785]

Hagar looks like Robert Plant here

[@stepitupandgo67]

The theremin mounted on the guitar?? wow...I wonder what's up with that? It's wired like a pickup or something? very interesting

[@KWMC512]

Sammy may actually sing a little better now!

[@marklewis8975]

This . .. fuckin rocks ❤

[@СпросиИСохрани-ц5ц]

FALLEN !!!!!

[@bethstubb5544]

The talent!!!!😎❤️😎❤️

[@mikeconnolly3299]

If Hagar would have stayed with Montrose & the band got more exposure perhaps, they would have been allot bigger than Van Halen listen to the cradle will rock & space station 5 I think there are certain sounds that could consider to be similar.

[@HulmeGFrom83AOEdgar]

Montrose Is The Number 6 Is The Number Of Summoning Circle 9 Is The Number Of Completion 3 Is The Number Of Magic. Tri-Scale Of Eloheims Law. Lesser Keys Of Rituals Magic Solomon. Chaotic Good Intentions Don't Get Me Lawful Evil.

Unbelievable! Actually it is 😄
