Lake - Between the Lines 1976

A Song of the first Album of Lake, I have even to this Day this original LP in my shelf. Amazing Hammond Organ Sound !!!!!!!! That's are the Seventies

[@kurtlonde5892]

.... der Hammond Sound ist doch immer wieder faszinierend großartige Komposition...

[@brianmasinelli9694]

What a great track. This band deserved much more attention than they got. So good!

[@em7dim9]

And it's so much better than their lone hit!

[@davidcragnolin1173]

Been listening to this since I was 16...I'm 64..my favorite band!..I regret not seeing them live!

[@brianmasinelli9694]

This band is sooooo underrated. Guitar work is top tier

[@Bremer62]

Tränen laufen übers Gesicht bei dem Stück.Ein stück Jugend.Leider gibts solche Musik heut nicht mehr.Zweitbestes stück von Lake

[@maerte70]

Tränen sollen trocknen...aber wirklich ein Hammer Song! (THX To Beni Wiler-:-)) - Welches Stück ist Dein Favorit?

[@goggihanseat9503]

Sorry für die späte Antwort:Scoobie Doobies ist mein Lieblingsstück

[@gabia.3667]

@Bremer 62 mir gehts genauso …. tolle Musik, geile Zeit

[@ligrera5532]

Alex Conti is for sure one of the best guitarrist in germany and in the world.! he have huge talent very bad that they have not many million views like they deserve !! for me this is real music this is real talent this is something you have to train for many many many hours a day and in your life. its like a boxing champion. you have to train and to train and Lake is a Championsleague Band with the Champion ALEX CONTI!

[@MrAbacus56]

Du hast recht-Danke für deinen Post. Beste Grüße aus Kassel (Germany)

[@arminkloppert4355]

What you say is so true and I am yearning every day for music of those times....!😢

[@lisalotta3703]

Ich liebe Lake seit meiner Jugend, habe sie live in der Batschkapp hier in Frankfurt am Main gesehen . . .einfach SUPER, Musik und dieser wundervolle Gesang . . .echte Meister sind hier am Werk !!! Habe alle Platten von Ihnen in meiner Sammlung, viele Bandmiglieder sind Deutsche !!!

[@tincansailoer12]

I thought I was the only one who knew of this band. I love this song, was one of my favorites.I have the first album and a turntable to play it on.

[@retrobebop61]

I loved Lake !

[@musicwritersince1980]

What you have to understand that at this time in music history this music fit in perfectly. All the songs had great melodies. Fun stuff that combines all the elements of songs written those days. Lake did a great job figuring out what people liked to listen to.

[@sharonrohe6264]

Thanks to my oldest brother who has bought the ticket for me. My first concert in Germany Hofheim Taunus . James Hopkins Harrison. I will never forget xou. and your absolutely unique voice. I still have goosebumbs while listening to this music.

[@JamesDodge-rq7qh]

I love them still!!!

[@BrianBattles]

Great band, reminds me of Ambrosia, I used to play this all the time on WHUS, WCCC, WBAB, WWUH and WAQY

[@tomindeltona]

I love this band they were so under rated.

[@vinylmonstret]

Exatly, there first LP is so great!

[@MrPkas10]

I remember hearing this song when I was stationed in Heidelberg about 35 years ago.....I knew Lake did this song, but I didn't know the title of it...until now! Over 10 minutes of musical ecstasy that I had not heard since my time in Germany - beyond awesome! Thanks so much for posting this!

[@isus999]

Greetings from Heidelberg. 22.04.22🌞👍🎈

[@paulgarmey2857]

Heard this great band when stationed in Berlin 1977 !

[@jeromerohe6812]

I love Lake. It makes me always a little bit sad. I loved the lead-singer soooo much. His voice was so amazing.

[@elmerlindsay9584]

You mean James hopkins Harrison?

[@elmerlindsay9584]

He died in 1990 of a heroin overdose he was great asset to the group lake

[@sharonrohe6264]

Yes. I have seen him on my first concert in Germany. I will never forget these concert.

[@arminkloppert4355]

​​@@elmerlindsay9584So sad that so many musicians left us too early - and quite a lot of them because of drug abuse...😢

[@dangabor8585]

Excellent musicians, James vocals pristine, Detlef Petersen's production work is superb, the mixing is spot on.... I wore out my first copy of this album. I'm glad I have this to play occasionally.

[@carstensh.3112]

Geiler Song. Kannte nur "On the run". Das war noch Mucke. Ohne Schnörkel, einfach geil.

[@deltablues1957]

Back in the '70's when the airwaves reverberated with the sound of cool.....

[@princewiltshire5193]

KSHE

[@popanz6796]

Die waren schon cool, die Jungs !!

[@DHudelson]

the solos on this cut are stupendous!

[@144Donn]

Saw the guys as an opening act for Nektar in 1977 at the Palladium in NYC. They closed with this number! They blew the roof off with this tune!

[@chrissweisberger7509]

I was there ,, I think I was 13 at the time ,,, life was great

[@144Donn]

@@chrissweisberger7509 You must have had cool parents! Do you recall where you sat? I was with my friend up on the 2nd level smack in the center! Keep rocking my friend!

[@144Donn]

@@chrissweisberger7509 I have been thinking I may have bumped into your dad. I went downstairs during intermission to buy candy and when he saw me loading up, he said "You8 must have some crazy case of munchies". I told him I do not do drugs! I wonder if that was him! He was a bit older than me, I was 17.

[@kuladeeluxe]

First song I pumped through my killer car stereo circa 1978. 19 years old, full tank of gas...A high point. Thanks.

[@Speed-jf6wm]

this Band with Alex Conti is real Gold. I wish they would make new music... this is pure talent, emotions and everything that is good. A Band that the World needs.

[@pinkfreud62]

I still have no clue why this talented group wasn't bigger in the States. Their songs are in English and they snuzzle in with other huge mutli member harmony rock groups of the 70's like Doobies, Chicago and other soul based groups of the era.

[@em7dim9]

They were a bit too progressive for the market, which was moving away from that sound. The bands you mentioned weren't.

[@devaacht8352]

Nürnberg, Zeppelinfeld 1977, live.....yeah👍👍👍 Thank you for setting in this good stuff.

[@scottiemon9036]

A friend of mine gave me this in 1978 on our way to waterpolo practice. Still listen to it today in 2020. It seems like 3 days ago he handed this to me...time is flying by.... super underrated band....

[@jamesmonroe7903]

One of the most underrated bands of the 70’s! They were vastly overshadowed by that great German band,The 🦂 Scorpions! I think these Germans were as good as those Germans!Plus,they had 🎹 keyboards!

[@screenflot]

I remember this playing in my 8-track! Had to wedge a folded up matchbook in the deck to get it to play right. Lotsa girls, lotsa joints, 70 cent gas. Nice.

[@EdWelchusc80]

Rediscovering this group after decades. Sweet musical journey!

[@thesilencers13]

LAKE...helped me along on my Spiritual Journey through lyrics that cut deep into my very Soul and helped me to see the true Light in this far out existence called " Life "

[@DevaAcht]

@@thesilencers13 👏

[@robertmasi9955]

aka "Mad Dad" As a DJ for many, many years, I totally agree with you Tom A. ... this band was completely under rated. They should of gotten a lot more recognition here in the U.S.

[@fredbayer5775]

A great KSHE classic

[@John-nw8dk]

Mr. Bayer, KSHE played "Between the Lines" this morning, 12/08/2024 ... it still sounds great, as always!

[@udodaum]

Ich hab die Band etliche Male live gesehen. Einfach großartig!

[@jimigroov]

This is a masterpiece of music

[@DevaAcht]

I looove this song. Am besten ist der Schluss, wenn er lauter Ausschnitte aus anderen Songs spielt.

[@markbarry1134]

They were pretty underated as a band I always felt. Good musicianship and talented vocals.

[@thomasdixon1369]

I saw these guys in St. Louis in 77' as a warm-up act. I had never heard of them. They were really, really good. I went out and bought their 1st Album the next day. Very under-rated group. Great Post!!

Heard this on the pirate radio way back in 76. Was the first album purchase I made! Its my opinion that the guitar solo is one the best - ever!... One of my most favorite songs.... (nice video too😊 )..

[@snprout]

Thanks for posting this tune. I too have the original vinyl in my collection which is mostly from the late 60's/mid 70's. I don't think that era will ever be duplicated. This is by far my favorite Lake cut.

[@ricecakeandwhitey]

Damn! I'm a product of the "70"s and played (still do) in bands to this day . I mention the band Lake and I get the deer looking at car lights! Thanks . Made my day...

[@PietyOFpaxson]

The 8 track, LP & CD are in my collection.This song will forever live ... if nowhere else, in my heart. As Sab-Designs states, very progressive, and tasty. This, and "Jesus Came Down "

[@andreal2297]

Ich habe damals alle Platten gekauft. Habe die auch noch.

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

Love the Hammond Organ :) QC

[@canu2u]

Brings back so many memories of my misguided youth. Damn I miss those days.

Auch nach so langer Zeit ein Hammer - Song und ein musikalischer Meilenstein!

[@Lefthandscorpiodrago]

This one of my top ten favorite songs of all time lyrically and musically. If it weren't so long you might have heard it on the radio.

Thanks very much!

[@cindycallico4847]

One of my all time favorite songs! Still have my original album.

i love LAKE and specially this song since many, many Years.

[@TheWhite1961]

I too...

[@wheater59]

This is available on CD. I got a copy of Lake/Paridise Island (2 LP's on 1 CD) at CD Reunion in St. Louis, MO. My wife never heard this band before and loves them now. I always thought they should have made it bigger than they did. What a great sound they had! Man, it brings back the memories for sure! Thanks for posting.

[@chuckbaer2302]

KSHE classic

[@bidd6936]

Every time I play their music, I'm immediately rushed back to my days stationed at Rammstein. Such an overflow of emotions. I would give anything to reunite with the group of friends from that time.

[@tavi58]

When I lived in Hawaii back in the 70's. Use to get stoned and jam on this album. Thanks for the memories.

[@deltablues1957]

Takes me right back when cool ruled the FM airways. I still have this album. Amazing song! Thank you for posting this!

[@mariahunt6316]

I have all their albums as well. Listened to this on my morning walk today. STILL one of my favorites!!

[@Tugend8]

Hello! I totally agree. I grew up with this genious band and I still love all their sounds and grooves! Have a nice time. Best wishes!!!

Lake was amazing !.......... I saw this wonderfull Band live ( not at one time only) in Hamburg if I was young. I bought this record after their Concert. And: Today I love this songs till today!!!!!

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

fantastic song, album and band. weren´t the little river band around back then?

[@DEGNERDANNI]

The music og the band LAKE allways remind me of my life as a teenager, and its a amazing band

[@blauundweiss1957]

Dazu war ich so jung. Etwa 18. Jahre war ich da alt. Damals schien alles so leicht. Das Leben hat mich dann aber eines besseren belehrt. Seis drum. Tolle Musik. Unvergessen.

[@wolbaimusiccollab]

Was für ein geiler Song und was für ein Hammond-Sound !!! Insbesondere der in weiten Strecken improvisierte Outropart ist selbst nach 40 Jahren schlicht genial. In diesem Song präsentiert sich Deutsche Rock Musik von ihrer besten und unvergleichlichen Seite. Die Musiker dieser Bandbesetzung sind maßgebliche Urgesteine Deutscher Rock Musik. Als junger Kerl habe ich damals meinen Einstieg in die Live-Musik gefunden und diese LP rauf und runter gehört. Ich denke deshalb mit ein wenig Wehmut an diese tolle Zeit - wish I had a time machine ... Danke für die Aufnahme!

[@MrPursuivant]

ich würde dir inhaltlich voll zustimmen, jedenfalls insofern man die maßgeblichen Jim Hopkins-Harrison und Geoffrey Peacey wirklich als "Urgesteine Deutscher RockMusik" bezeichnen mag.

[@Treesah35]

ice been looking for years for this album. I used to listen to it when I was a kid. Cant find it anywhere that I have checked. Ill even take it on vinyl just to say that I have it. Thank you for putting this on youtube. I miss this music like crazy.

[@chrisseddon619]

Great song from a superb band.

[@zwreckless1]

I was always impressed that every song on their albums were good ...maybe not fantastic but always had something that was interesting and memorable ....listening to them 30 + years later and I still have the same opinion

[@smondello]

Gives me the chills... I dug them!

[@MillerGenuineDraft1980]

If i could only listen to one song from this band Between The Lines is the one. Awesome song (Discovered, April,2009)

[@BertGrink]

This music is amazing!! how the hell can i not have heard of this band until now? i was born in the 50s and i have always loved this kind of music

[@xsellsbrod]

check it out, you might have not heard from RUSH, Rare Bird, streetmark, ......???

[@larrystrick1862]

xsellsbrod Nektat was special too.

[@larrystrick1862]

larry strick Nektar was even better!

[@MusicGunn]

I don't remember these guys either. I love this tune. It reminds me of, not in style by any stretch, the long beautiful jams that Pablo Cruise did. Stylistically the 2 bands are pretty far apart, but as far as uplifting and just all out cool jams this rates right up there.

[@paulquintin3607]

I have the first three Lake albums, really enjoyed them, and break them out once in a while to have a listen. As someone mentioned, that organ sound is definitely the 70s!

[@PietyOFpaxson]

It simply rocks my soul

[@PietyOFpaxson]

@To the point. thank goodness it happens on occasion

[@MusicGunn]

I do not remember these guys at all. I am greatly impressed. This is a really good tune. If all of their stuff is this good, I am sad I missed them. Thank you KZbin. As far as music is concerned, YT is the best thing that ever happened for me on the internet. Tried Sound Cloud, but haven't got the knack of it yet. On YT it is far easier to discover new things.

[@maerte70]

Just great! I like this sound...but not to be found on spotify .... a shame

[@rickpeuser233]

Loved them! Had all except the live album(s). Vocals by JHH were amazing!

[@devaacht8352]

So genial!! Ich liebe diesen Song, er ist so herrlich, auch zum Mitsingen. Und der Text so schön, und so lyrisch. Ich finde, damals wurde wirklich viel mehr Wert auf so etwas gelegt. So herrliche Musik finde ich zur Zeit leider nirgendwo. Ich hoffe immer noch sehr, dass die 60er bis 80er Musik, mit ihre Fantasie in den Texten und ihrer Perfektion in den einzelnen Instrumenten, wie Schlagzeug, Orgel, Gitarre etc. daß das wieder ein bisschen mehr zurückkommt und dem Neuaufkommen von Schlager den Garaus macht. Denn ich denke damit sollen wir wie einst von Udo Lindenberg im Lied "Gene Galaxo" besungen, sorry, VERBLÖDEN.

[@markbarry1134]

Great band. I played this album to death. never even heard of these guys until a local DJ played this album.

[@difreighterwatcher8603]

Wir hörten Lake mit unseren Kumpels die alle sehr Musik interessiert waren so im Alter zwischen 14 und 16 Jahren, da machten alle schon mal ihre ersten eigenen Band Erfahrungen. Leider war Lake in Deutschland gar nicht so erfolgreich wie in USA. Deutsche Bands hatten es damals schwer bei uns.

[@dlarovere]

This is an incredible day. These songs bring back so many memories. This album reminds me of rainy nights after my band rehearsal and my drummer would put this album on and we'd all go, "Boys, we need to practice...ALOT." The time changes in this tune are incredible. I love this band. Thank you so much miraculeaux2006 for your post. You have made many happy memories flood back.
