Love Sculpture - Sabre Dance

Track Nr. 9 from the album Forms an Feelings (1970)

[@richardtaylor8595]

LOVE SCULPTURE is one of the best bands ever. Dave Edmunds is so underated it makes me sick. One of my guitar heroes.

[@iliv4disc77]

This has to be the most rocking version of a classical piece ever.

[@jmsbk12345]

One of the most underrated guitarists of all time. This is phenomenal.

[@RobertSmith-km6gi]

I agree. He’s almost never mentioned on greatest lists. A shame!

[@philiplindsay225]

pure brilliance !!!! Bravo Love Sculpture ! One of the most underated bands of the 1970s.

[@LawrenceKennard]

I play a little bass and drums and would be left behind in the dust within 30 seconds if I tried to keep up with this jam. Thank you for an OUTSTANDING video!!!

[@samspencer6556]

I beat this album to death. Fantastic work.

[@RobertSmith-km6gi]

This was the first time I ever heard a rock adaptation of a classical song and Farandole also! The rest of the album was good too. One of my favorites.

[@Djinnjaha]

...and by the time this performance was over, all of the sabres were blunt!!

[@gerryrowe7532]

Basically that is over 11 minutes of relentless guitar work and bloody good it is too !

[@SuperCoastie1]

As my Brother said when this was released, "Only a Welsh guitar player could play this"!

[@LeftyandFriends]

Foolish nationalism.

[@FractAlkemist]

This is an absolutely immortal CLASSIC! It was never appreciated in it's time. I had this (vinyl) album in high school. Wish I could find this on CD somewhere now ....

[@Okeh8109]

I dunno if you found it since, but both Love Sculpture albums have been reissued on CD with bonus tracks, extensive liners, etc.

[@ODULSRESSIV]

Love this!!! Heard it the first time at school... the teacher kicked me out!

[@Mr_Lupine]

That drummer too, fucking amazing. Your not telling me that they were speeding like fuck when they did this though ? Puts most punk records to shame ! Only the Damned could equal this relentless attack ! Fucking brilliant !!!

[@kennyluciano4913]

Amazing guitar work

[@grooviefan]

THE guitar GOD....

[@Ramblin-Man]

I saw Rockpile with Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe (and Terry Williams and Billy Bremner) in Lund, Sweden, in February 1980. Don't remember if they played this ole' fave of mine...he often plays in Sweden, sometimes with my fellow Swedes The Refreshments.

[@popyflower]

saw this live at the lyceum london, when it came out it was exactly the same. i got the l.p. too.

[@trfesok]

In my Edmunds playlist with his solo remake. Thanks for the upload!

[@leemark63]

I search Buffalo Sabres NHL items on ebay. That's how I got here & wow! Never heard this & I'm 61 yrs old! Ama'zin!

[@timosorsa4014]

I had this album when I was young. 12 years

[@standingwave73]

This guitarist is so fast it's scary. Still have the album. Played it a lot.

[@trfesok]

Although I know that Love Sculpture wasn't a prog group, I also put this in my "classical and prog" playlist with a straight classical performance of this piece.

[@digggi1315]

I think... Turntable... LP... Rotation: 45... Unbelievably... Incredibly... Immortal...🤘😉🤓😎✌️

[@thewordofgord]

Saw them live on the ill-fated north american tour. In Toronto at the Yonge St club The Hawks Nest. I sat on the floor about 15 feet away, as we did for The Nice some months later. They were awesome. The five minute version of this was a top ten hit in Britain, not long after John Peel played if twice in one day onTop Gear. Anythin else you need to know?

[@Mynamesalexa]

I actually did my homework to this under a black light 1969 WMMR 93.3 Phila, Pa.

[@kurtw491]

Ha ! Me, too ! Those were the daze. WMMR and WDAS. The Electric Factory. Still have the album on vinyl.

[@Mynamesalexa]

@@kurtw491 One song album side. Normal in those days

[@copiapoahaseltoniana6846]

My brain still freaks me out when I listen to this.

[@meredrums1]

This is smokin'.

[@mxyzptlk8058]

I can't even tap my feet fast enough to this

[@BBINGHAM032352]

The album version was issued in 1969 but the 45 RPM version was issued earlier in 1968 and is better than the album version. The recent CD of the album has both versions.

[@Mynamesalexa]

The AM version?😁

[@Ramblin-Man]

Actually, it was released in 1969. I bought the album around 1977 as a double LP together with 'Blues helping' (1968). /// The song is a sort of an Armenian war dance from Khatchaturian's 1942 ballett Gayane, of which I know nothing... /// I saw Dave Edmunds (69 yrs next month...) with Rockpile (Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner - no, not HIM - and Terry Williams) in 1980, after the release of their only proper album, 'Seconds of pleasure'.

[@JB007DB5]

This is the very best version of a masterpiece of a guitar vertuoso. This version is also on the double album 'The Early Edmunds' EMI CDS7967172 Disc 2 track 1, for those who might be looking for this version.

[@jonathanpinckney9227]

one word:YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAW!

[@martinkent333]

When this song was going for 2 minutes, I thought it was okay, after 5 minutes, think it's really good!

[@Fracomelaneve]

MUSICA BELLISSIMA

[@MisterGee1968]

Awesome

[@mirunok5210]

[@felicianolle7538]

Grandiozus!!

[@octofish]

Cooool!!! )))

What's New Scooby Doo brought me here

[@harleyrobertson73]

Doyle Holloway what episode

[@Leo876]

Me too!!!

[@fietsvriend]

Sir Yes Sir!

[@335wag]

Would anyone be able to help me find a backing track for this please!

[@1951nightwish]

Aw, My CD as only got the one version

[@josefdvoracek4329]

Unbeliveble....! Only Alvin Lee can with him !!!....

[@simontaylor2319]

Never heard this version by Love Sculpture...not on the LP I have..sounds more like a live version

[@ODULSRESSIV]

I think this was released in Europe in 1969...

[@willfosterhaze]

8:51 killer

[@SuperCoastie1]

The bassist didn't have much to do on this one!

[@mcfcdani]

scooby doo moment

[@richardtoy1600]

Hey Yngvie . . .

[@TheRomundus]

What classical music is supposed to sound like.

[@robertommundsen9155]

prefer the single version

[@curt0571]

Are you telling us, or asking us?

[@acutube50]

Still great for scaring grannies :) 666 views, 6 likes. An omen?

[@mikejanowski4360]

kicks ass shock

[@riffcrescendo1740]

Blistering guitar.

[@andyharman3022]

Edmunds should be arrested for guitar abuse. Has the art of soloing on rock guitar really advanced since this was recorded? But I have to admit that the 11-minute version wears me out. I like the more concise 5 to 6 minute version found elsewhere on YT.

[@copiapoahaseltoniana6846]

Pussy!

[@curt0571]

You talk too much. I like when you talk not so much.

[@fenwyfrnk]

They sped up the tape, dudes.

[@karlmustermann6856]

+fenwyfrnk no speed up, look at this => kzbin.info/www/bejne/faHUiohpg9-VqtU

[@fenwyfrnk]

+Karl Mustermann that doesn't seem as fast

[@RobCorkill1]

He was a lot older :)

[@peterdoe2617]

Nope.

[@kennyluciano4913]

seen him perform live, just as fast

[@fietsvriend]

Poor drummer

[@jgfergus]

Nonsense. I'm sure you could maintain that rhythm for 11+ minutes.

[@simontaylor2319]

Can't keep up....seems a bit fast to me......is it on 78?

[@craigj.davies1983]

Poor Bassist.
