Samla Mammas Manna - tv 1974

[@UffeAkermo]

UNDERBART band! Jag älskar även Lars Hollmers soloplattor! ❤

[@TheMorsan89]

Ganska häftig att se sin pappa så ung, och på youtube av alla ställen! Och så kul att se att så många tycker om dom ännu! Ni som fortfarande tycker om dom stöttar dom något otroligt:)

[@MrG0re]

Får man fråga vem Pappan är? :) Är ju också väldigt tragitst vad många gått bort dom senaste åren ifrån den här videon. :(

MinnaSoder coolt! Jäklar va grymma alltså

[@radioniradion1241]

Fantastikt! Grymt band!!!

[@Asio_Capensis]

Så enormt skickliga de var, progperiodens musikaliska band, som står flera klasser över alla andra. Såg dem i Karlskrona 1975 och det var minnesvärt. Det finns skickliga band nu med, som t ex Public Servant.

In January 2007 I visited to Lars Hollmer's Chickenhouse in Uppsala. He let me watch this movie. Wathcing it with me he said 'What a strange beard!' 'Rock Star should not wear such a checked-shirts' and so on with laugh. Also he told me that a woman with long pipe (2:20) is his wife. He had a hope to release it as a DVD with other movies at that time. All of them are my old and good memories but anyway it is a great movie I believe.

[@serpentswyrls]

With chequered shirts and hipster moustaches they were ahead of their time (not a rock star look of the 70s, yes))

[@ianwilkinson4602]

There was an element of humour in their music [ a little like the German band Gobschnitt ] but there is no shortage of talent, these guys were good as Grobschnitt were, the drummer has the same sort of personality as Eroc, Grobschnitts drummer. Fun to watch and listen to, thank you for the upload, cheers.

[@PrinceEnki2112]

Incredible band. Amazing chops and a great sense of humor. For me Snorungarnas Symfony is a monster album, I still can't believe the great Lars Hollmer is gone.

[@Bix12]

everyone commenting here has incredible taste in music - hello brothers and sisters!

[@bobgreen623]

You are quite right, hello William!

[@gubsak55]

This is the Samla Mammas Manna I love you never know what they will do next. I didn't hear Samla before maybe 1978 when I recorded some live performance in Danish radio and I was hooked. Unfortunately I was too poor to bye their records then - good that has changed! Stephen Grossman visited some of the schools in Odense - in 1974 I guess. I saw him then and was amazed - what a brilliant guitarist and performer. I still have one of his records in the attic.

[@timelanguid4813]

Brilliant. Skillful and with humility. Made me think of Zappa too.

[@alanterrill]

Absolutley fabulous! That must have confused the audience. Thanks for posting this, there's precious little footage of the Samlas about.

[@razmusakesson2824]

this is still, to this day, one of the best perfomances ive seen by them. Incredible music!

[@laol0100]

Otroligt kul att få se denna film. Tackar så mycket för det.

[@justanotherbluesband366]

Outstanding!

[@bobgreen623]

The drummer is *nearly* as good to watch as Chris Cutler in Henry Cow. Wonderful piece of mind-bending music. There is something of Canterbury Scene music about it.

[@jeffr.5717]

+Bobby G Yeah, there are a few drummers who are quite visual and who really get into the music. Agree with the Canterbury-related impression too; somewhat whimsical (Ayers, Daevid Allen Gong, etc).

[@chuckazeee]

Hans played with Eric Dolphy during his last tour in 1974. Unbelievable drummer.

[@Ramblin-Man]

I fail to see the Canterbury connection (and the "Canterbury bands" NEVER saw any connection between each other either...but that's another discussion). "Samla" were more related to other Rock In Opposition/RIO bands like Belgian Univers Zero, French Art Zoyd, UK's Henry Cow and Czechoslovakians Plastic People of The Universe (you yourself mention Chris Cutler, who owned Recommended Records and its later incarnations, and sold all this RIO music - as well as beautiful Faust re-releases - on mail order). Don't forget their later constellations as Zamla Mammaz Manna and Von Zamla, and check out Hasse Bruniusson's 2 solo projects here: www.discogs.com/artist/489409-Hasse-Bruniusson Hasse Hollmer is unfortunately no longer with us since 9 years. He recorded his many solo and other projects in a former chickenhouse... www.discogs.com/artist/218808-Lars-Hollmer

[@sudicalwig]

He reminds me of Christian Vander sometimes.

[@theworldasitis4290]

It Sounds like Giles Giles and Fripp, Crimson or Kevin Ayers...absolutelly fantastic...

[@silverapple]

i love these guys

[@Existentialexplosion]

FINALLY! Thank you so much I was looking for this video for so long!

[@evamadelene]

Experienced them live when I was 9-10 tears old (In Gotland, Sweden). Still a great memory!

[@supergnorf]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, been a fan since Måltid was released. :)

[@marcelkoopman2439]

incredible musicians, thanks for posting this!

[@myearsloveit]

Indeed.

[@ruylopez6354]

Way ahead of Their Time Funny jet superb and energetic. Love this band.

[@pargack]

Jäklar vad grymt!

[@m-tetsuo]

Loooooove these guys and this performance - had a great shroom trip on their music a few years ago

[@dkba52]

thank you sincerely. highly engaging

[@myearsloveit]

I concur.

SMM is Music Masterpiece i tip me hat off to SMM.😊😊

[@thewordofgord]

Love these guys! Had the vinyl for thirty odd years, but knew nothing about them other than they were Swedish. Thanks for posting!

[@liegebricking]

One of the best swedish bands ever.

[@denneberg]

Fantastiskt. Otroligt bra

[@brianfergus839]

So tight, and Hans B is on another Swedish planet. Samlas keepin' prog real back in the day.

Haven't seen this great performance since...well...1974. I seem to remember that this was actually a Swedish or possibly Danish TV show. The presenter is of course great guitarist Stefan Grossman.

[@mkfilly]

🤩 I’ve been a fan since 1979, and scoured YT for videos...why did this one never come up??

[@Innerspace100]

Fy faen! Dette er så bra, det!

[@Tarrassacordoba]

Fantastik band 👌🎶

[@GonTello]

So bizarre! excellent!

[@xcforce9067]

Oh dear! I wish I could see them as well as hear them. And I do.

[@beacurnearecurvata188]

9:20 min favorit. Blev mindfucked av det här partiet. Låter så konstigt och komplicerat.

[@beardyfreak]

Awesome live band!

[@TheMorsan89]

My dad is so cool :)

[@mackereltacos2850]

+TheMorsan89 Does he listen to this or something? If he does, he is definitely cool.

[@TheMorsan89]

+Micah Greeson my father is Lars Krantz the bassist in the band :)

[@TheMorsan89]

+Micah Greeson don't know if he ever seen this, but I think he have

[@mackereltacos2850]

+TheMorsan89 Really? The band (and I'm guessing your father, as well) came over to play in the USA and the state I live in (North Carolina), in 2002 at a festival. I wasn't there, because I was only 5. lol I love this band. And your dad is awesome!

[@synthonaplinth5980]

He's also one HELL of a bass player.

Listen to Fred Frith Gravity featuring Samla Mammas Manna and also watch Meet The Flower Kings where Hasse Bruniusson is on percussion in a similar way to Jamie Muir did in King Crimson!!!

[@batphink2655]

A little comedic near start but NO doubt these lads are OUTSTANDING MUSICIANs I'm ex pro so could see that instantly. Love the drummer's playing too!

[@TwiddleFingersDB]

Hasse Bruniusson är världens bästa trummis.

[@ChaanSe]

So this show is why they got famous so soon.

Es como escuchar improvisar a los Beatles en sus tiempos más unidos ... It's now or never ! 😀

[@jeffr.5717]

The part starting around 9:18 (from Way Down a Rabbit Hole) sounds quite a bit like Gentle Giant.

[@Ramblin-Man]

Very much so.

[@Bix12]

i'll say it sounds like really great music (much more like GG than FZ)

[@mvjonsson]

Hasse B is a big fan of Gentle Giant.
