Grave Dweller nice research

[@0hn0haha]

Interesting name it's almost as if they knew that Joe Dart would appear sometime in the future

[@apophis9356]

Some of the best music that I've ever heard! I must have watched this 20 times today. Vladimir Vasilkov is a legend!

[@Tobbogun0run]

Работа этого ударника- это как полет, попытаешься осмыслить или проанализироать- непременно упадешь!

[@sadigov]

Funk Funkovich Funkov! Tremendous piece and execution!

[@Whetstone_music]

Sweet to find this again great its still posted 17 years later

[@jigme5]

I can't get sick of this, love it even more every time I hear it.

[@MrBilgey]

Fabulous drummer

[@shishyupal]

That little lick starting 1:52, and how it breaks at 2:00, is damn funky. So is the bass, so is everything. Bravo !

[@St3v3theWeave]

Beautiful! Even during the cold war and current diplomatic disputes, I've always felt there were ordinary citizens like myself that just want to enjoy life and raise their family, properly. I didn't even know there was a soviet funk scene back then. Once again, Magnifico!

[@aziaev]

our country always demonized, but there always ordinary people with ordinary life

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

The drummer is a wizard.In the name of sweet beans.Truly awesome chops on the ole skins.

[@КошкаМёбиуса-щ7е]

Бесподобно! Русский джетро талл!)

[@criticuskrimson3791]

можно ещё послушать советские альбомы Градского, там тоже Васильков на ударных.

[@pipelinepromotion]

He was a drummer for Arsenal band lead. by Mr.Kozlov and their first LP is highly collectable in Europe.

[@sovietgroove]

RIP Vladimir Vasilkov He was one of the best!

[@craigeriksson]

I'm addicted to this video! as a Drummer, I'm inclined to look into jazz-funk alot more closely now. Would loved to have been alive when all this was going on. Great job !

[@pipelinepromotion]

it was almost impossible to find even common US vinyl in USSR that's why the prices for imported record were so high on the black market, but soviet jazz was available on our major label Melodia in the 70s, so anyone can buy vinyl or real to real tape and listen to it. Situation in the 50s was different anyway, but in the 70s many people were into black music (e.g. jazz and so). Polish jazz from the 60s/70s is amazing too!

[@tetris136]

Prosto velekolepno,slusoju po neskolko razs i s utra podnjematsa s etoj muzikoj kaif,ha!!!!!

[@xMrOddBallx]

This is absolutely incredible!

[@lostcinegrooves]

Hey, guys, forget about that here. Look at these boys. It's 1974. They're young and cool. They are AWESOME. Enjoy the music!

[@lostcinegrooves]

Drums: Vladimir Vasilkov Flute: Rostislav (Slava) Chevichelov Guitars: Boris Lebedinsky, Eduard Levkovich As far as I know this band has no name. They are session musicians who made live jams at St. Petersburg (Leningrad) in 70's. In film credits this track is titled just as "improvisation" by V. Vasilkov. As pipelinepromotion said, it's still unreleased in any way ((

[@PaulCasaliMusic]

yeah this video is amazing !! i wish , one day , i could play like these guys!! i love playing drums

[@ВикторТипунов]

Классный барабанщик Володя Васильков!

[@АлексейБеспалов-к4ъ]

❤ спасибо Вам большое

[@RandomFromInternet419]

I'm russian. In the video man says: Volodya (Vladimir), i must go to the radiostation for recording. "Oookay" - saying second and start funking.

[@Serg-978]

***** Как перевести "линяю"?

[@RandomFromInternet419]

Сергей Батраков i'm getting fade. Означает i'm leave.

[@shivds]

I'm off?

[@KLthebig]

This is my favourite music style. Zeppelin are the best...but this, this is so groovy and warm! IS SO great!

[@TehDuckOfDoom]

Это фильм "Не болит голова у дятла", 1974 год, Ленфильм. This is from the movie "Ne bolit golova u dyatla"(In English something like "A woodpecker never has a headache") This movie is about the boy, who wanted to become a musician, but he faces different family and social difficulties in soviet society.

[@bluenote335]

Hip drummer and I dig the kid watching this who is obviously having a life changing experience at the moment.

[@elbow005]

Amazing piece of music...!!! Amazing coordination mayn..! Russkie udivitelʹnyĭ...!!!!

[@xKinseh]

I love the bassist at 2:14 "Yeah, I dig it"

[@pasza]

the movie is "Не болит голова у дятла" originally or "Ne bolit golova u diatla" or "Woodpecker has no headache" as I am able to translate it

[@killermodrul]

Such smooth groove

[@baddaboomb]

i could swear i have heard this before, i think on a film i have watched repeatedly in my adolescence......

[@anchinkan]

The boy seems to wonder whether picking up drums or bass. Both kick ass! Excellent stuff!

[@misterdemerol]

this is some of the funkiest funk ive listened to, ever. whenever im frustrated, or angry, or feeling uninspired, i listen to funk, and all that goes away almost instantly. i love funk. :D

[@JD0x0]

the first time i watched this i thought the floutest was druming with one hand and playing the flute too

[@feder2]

same

[@mariuspoppFM]

Flautist

[@wizzz9442]

2:37 The kid is totally blown away!

[@TiamatSorakaSolotop]

And he isn't the only one

[@bubz75]

Awesome drummer

[@gokhanaytekin]

nice years, nice music

[@BordiniBlues85]

in SOVIET UNION the groove beats you!

[@SCaNn0R]

awsome bassist i really enjoyed lisnint to the bass and guuitar somtimes the drumer but its really an old record its awsome !!

[@ВасяЗизибоба]

Тут и фильм очень хороший. Динара Асанова снимала не плохое кино.

[@getzata96]

The flute and drums are spot on. The guitar as well but the little twang at the end is unnessesery.

[@mistapink1]

would've made an excellent score for "shaft in moscow."

[@JacquesMesrine94]

haha !!! Aiigght, privet brother (хорошо сказано)

[@Nnnnnn7-f6j]

I'm from 2022 and it feels sad to see I'm the newest comment here

[@lostcinegrooves]

Thanks, pipelinepromotion! "Ne Bolit Golova u Dyatla" aka "Woodpeckers Don't Get Headaches" USSR, 1974 Drums: Vladimir Vasilkov Flute: Rostislav (Slava) Chevichelov Guitars: Boris Lebedinsky, Eduard Levkovich

[@The1969Vintage]

Great stuff!

[@vito_keys]

Unlike North Korea and Nazi Germany, the USSR clearly have a great taste of music and does not discourage or ban western music like jazz and rock

[@JacquesMesrine94]

How do you know ? Maybe Kim Jong-il and Dolphie loved the Funk, and were separately jamming to the good vibes... Who knows ?

[@Echimide]

Fucking good shit. Seriously.

[@edonamorina2607]

omg love it... hugs from Albania ... this iiis sooooo goooood

[@BillRayDrums]

I love seeing music from behind the Iron curtain period! Those guys were brave to launch into something so "western-inspired". If you like real "Free Jazz" check out Ivo Papasov; he's Bulgarian and got sent to work camp because he refused to quit playing his music back in the 1970s-80s. At least that's what I was told!

[@demianxss]

still unreleased on vinyl?!?!? :( sadness.....

[@alessacypher5638]

Coooool sound!!

[@xaxaportilho]

Большое видео - great video. Good channel. Congratulations

[@buntonghininga]

[@ΕλενηΚαραγιαννιδου-ψ4β]

Damn ... this is it !!! and you know it

[@Machtaaan]

[@2degucitas]

Thank you for the translation. The bird makes a funky loud noise all day, but never is hurt by the noise.

[@BoogieKnight1976]

wow! the guy on strings is amazing bendin' them notes like a funky worm.

[@bgtubber]

Simply amazing!

[@waldeck325]

Thnx for posting this, this is the stuff im looking for.

[@leisian]

[@jakubkasperski]

Great music and movie as well!

[@sergeyurbanboy]

Афигеть! Где ж сейчас такие коллективы???!!!

[@Tobbogun0run]

The work of the drummer is like flying, try to comprehend or proanaliziroat-surely fall!

[@mercuriesque]

Very good drummer! Like Bill Bruford of Yes and King Crimson!

[@BourneyBourn]

derég hallottam már... tudtam mi hiányzott :)

[@dokaduka]

[@lu2as]

[@fernandosalvino8042]

[@skellingas7]

[@neduddgi]

Fantastic! Very good! Thanks!

[@barrybreaks]

Killer funk, Vasilkov is fantastic!

[@eugenering6799]

Dig it! Liked the groove.

[@pipelinepromotion]

@Naguakamolo Владимир Васильков - легендарная личность в мире отечественного джаза, а режисер Динара Асанова никогда не снимала "фейк" ! Советую посмотеть её другие работы с музыкой Василькова (например фильм "Жена Ушла" )

[@MrProdigo]

exelente session muy buen video

[@CookJapanChannel]

amazing. who could ever think that there was so amazing people in ussr.

[@tshibuta]

such a nice sound great instrumental funk

[@BordiniBlues85]

MAN! this is GREAT!!!!!

[@BoogieKnight1976]

Damn this is funky!! Great stuff!

[@mertyertugrul]

great stuff!..

[@Vlad3000]

Nicely put

[@pipelinepromotion]

Listen early Poets of Rhythm and their related projects (Max Weissenfeldt on drums). Also listen Soul Destroyers (Malcolm Catto on drums). These 2 drummers plays as good as Vladimir Vasilkov! They are amazing! Also you have to check Enssemble Melodia (USSR) 1974 LP "Labirynth", especially track: "Ognennaya Reka" (Fiery River) - this is a killer jazz-funk tune as well.

[@gubasz]

It's awesome!

[@jmhd89]

I want this movie... old german guitars... soviet bass... I love these instruments

[@JoeyKingful]

just awesome.

[@szymon369]

Wow i kto by przewidział, że takie cuda się działy za żelazną kutyną

[@aziaev]

Заебись!

[@dearmalika]

chapeau! great job!

[@jigme5]

Every time i listen to this i like it more :).

[@JazzBassBloke]

excellent!!!

[@ИльяПлеханов-е6ъ]

Кто-нибудь ТОЧНО знает, КАК получить ТАКОЙ бас-гитарный тембр, как здесь? Тембр этот легко узнаваем на всех эстрадных записях "Мелодии" 70-х годов и фильмах того же времени (скажем, "Служебный роман").

[@RiffmasterChe]

В ГАСе спроси))))

[@arberthree]

Está claro

[@victorrichardson1378]

Плоские струны

[@gravedweller1612]

именно.струны с плоской обмоткой!

[@cheche5244]

Илья Плеханов возможно, это особенности звукозаписи (например, использование неких примочек или звукоснимателей...

[@iggyspirit]

excellent bass too....

[@glennmiller2005]

what a funky place!

[@jk94111]

best video ever bud
