@ScottishTeeVee me and my wife took 2 weeks holiday from our bar in Lagos, Portugal and visited Majorca last month. While we were there we caught-up with Derek Holt (bass player of CBB) and got to one of his gigs in Pollenca, where he lives now. He is still gigging regularly with his band of friends, and doesn't look very much different except the beard has gone and his hair is now "a whiter shade of pale" 😀

[@ScottishTeeVee]

@@thestarmusic Rick and Rozy! Good to hear from you two and nice to see that you two got a break from the Star Bar. I never realised that Derek was in Spain, I take it he lives on Palma? If I had known, I'd have visited, but we always end up going to Ibiza, the quiet bits not the busy bits😉 Anyway, I hope you have a good busy summer season this year, thanks again for watching and commenting. 🎸

My band opened for this group in 1975. Great band. Nicest people we ever ever played with.

[@michaelkoszowski3716]

What band tom ? ..the name of yours ?

@@michaelkoszowski3716 De No Name Band ,yes they was

[@lizcass9885]

Seeing this reminds me of how our children are missing out from hearing these groups from our youth, sadly they'll be forgotten and they do not deserve being lost in time, thank you for this, this band was one of my favourites when I was young!!

[@beenaplumber8379]

Do you realize that your children look at you and see the same? They know you'll never appreciate the wonder of the modern music they listen to. It's called the nostalgia bump. Everyone favors music they listened to until their mid 20s or so. We mistake that for being better music, not just our preferred music.

What a fucking brilliant gig! The incredible Climax Blues Band! Wow!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌😎😎😎😎✌️✌️✌️😁😁😁😁

[@grahamreed8774]

Saw this great band 24 times between 1970 and 1973. For those who remember the fantastic shows at the Cook's Ferry Inn, Edmonton, North London. When the bands drank at the same bar as the fans. Great memories. John Cufley was a new drummer to the band during this period and they had lost the original keyboard player with Derek Holt playing bass and occasional keyboards and Colin Cooper started playing rhythm guitar. The Cooks Ferry has since been demolished.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

You were very lucky to have seen them so many times and maybe shared a few drinks with them.

Had measles as a child in NYC, heard the CBB on the radio live, been a fan since.

I was about 14 when FM Live came out. Loved it and went back in their catalog for more goodness. They kept it going until the mid-eighties.

This was an amazing treat to find-thank you so much! Can’t wait to see what else you have up. 💕

[@Pelicam1]

I can't get over the incredible quality of this clip--both visually and sonically. Thank you so much for preserving this time capsule of a band that, for my money, was the best live band in the world at the time. Pete Haycock on guitar!!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I am glad you found and enjoyed this video, thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Pete Haycock was great at finger picking and really kept that old blues style alive ..He looks like he and Peter Frampton could be twins his demeanor is very much like Frampton as well.

Peters chrome veleno used here is a unique John veleno creation made of aluminium and sounds great even back then 🙏🇬🇧🎼🎸

[@douglaswilke8582]

Saw CBB open for Lynyrd Skynyrd 9 months later in Milwaukee. They played ,"Couldn't Get It Right" and a couple of other new songs , but basically the same set. I remember during "Pork Pie Hat", Peter had a black strat with a mirrored strike plate.They would strobe lights on it and it was an awesome light show.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

You were lucky to have seen them at this time, what a great double bill

[@douglaswilke8582]

@@ScottishTeeVee Graham Parker and The Rumor was the opening act.A great triple play.

Country Hat live. dazzling.

[@bmajs]

I had no idea they were this good.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

To be honest, neither did I until I eventually watched it, decades after I recorded it 🤣

[@Seventysongs]

At this time they were becoming a band more focused on pop music. Listen to the 1973 live album called '' FM Live '' ... it's excellent.

[@Fishnfunokoboji]

FM Live is in my top five of all live albums along with Waitinn for Colombus, Live Bullet, We've got a real Live one here, Full House.@@Seventysongs

[@Seventysongs]

@@Fishnfunokoboji Yes, Little Feat's is also one of the ones I love. Allman Brothers at Fillmore, Rory Gallagher live in Europe, Jimi Hendrix In the West and Band of Gypsies, Wishbone Ash Live Dates, Mothers Finest... we will spend hours here remembering them.

[@domingoortegaperez4768]

How can you vote this down ? great show great musicians mastering their job . Nowadays there are still great bands out there, but they don't make it due to the corrupt industry Talent doesn't count much in a world of manufactured stars

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Its a shame some vote stuff down, probably without watching. However, Thank you for watching and commenting

[@JulianChown]

I may have that very Fender Rhodes piano right here with me. It has "CLIMAX" written on the lid, which someone has tried to scrub off though failed. It's an early 1975 Fender Rhodes mk1, and am assuming it was taken over to Germany for this - unless the gear was hired?! Ideas on this would be appreciated! It's great to see this footage. This band are great!!! 🤩

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Might be with asking Richard via Facebook, if your keyboard is his old one as seen in this video. facebook.com/HoltAndJones/

[@JulianChown]

​@@ScottishTeeVee Thanks for your reply! Superb camera work, gear and footage!!! Great work!! Were you with them during their tours (UK to wherever they went) and would you happen to know if their gear was hired in or taken from home? You may remember the rhodes suitcase and other kit with "CLIMAX" written on? Any other footage or pictures of their gear and setup would be really useful to give more of a clue on the rhodes' adventures! If you know of anyone that may have something, it would be very useful. I really appreciate your help, and thank you so much!

The song I most wanted to hear from this video is '' Running out of the time '' but apparently nobody has it. I would trade it for the annoying '' Country hat '' without regret. Thanks for the video

[@ScottishTeeVee]

It might have been broadcast years later, as extended versions were broadcast often a decade or more later, but this is the original 1976 version.

[@Seventysongs]

@@ScottishTeeVee Understand. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe we are lucky and someone has the whole concert.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

I'm getting commercialS in the middle of this.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

The copyright owners are allowing ads to be placed there. Most people will just go for ads at the start and end, but Google advises adverts be placed during any video longer than 8mins, the copyright holder can place them anywhere in the video themselves or allow google to insert them automatically. I have no control over the placing of the ads, since I am not the copyright holder. Usually at in the run up to Christmas there are more ads available so they appear in the middle of many of my videos, they are very annoying.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

@@ScottishTeeVee I guess it would be annoying in anything but it makes music, particularly prog rock, kind of unlistenable.
