The Move - Night Of Fear (1967)

[@melissaevans6464]

Their outfits are so outstanding, just pure Carnaby Street. A Real picture in time. Thanks.

[@canesvenatici4259]

Not really Carnaby St. Carnaby St. fashion would be straight mod fashion, no indian/hippie flourishes.

One of my all time favourite bands 💐🎊👏🥂🎉♥️❤️

[@BrendaDrumm]

I think my comment must have been deleted i the other wk said i like the song the abuse i got was terrible the comment i sent back was a banger lol 😂❤

[@abberationify]

For me, this was the best line up for The Move, one of the best British bands of the 60's. I was 19 when this came out at the end of 1966, so was around for the very best years of the 60's sound, and I can tell you that they were brilliant performing live. A lot of talent on display here with Carl Wayne, one of the best front men and, of course, the legendary Roy Wood and a superb drummer in Bev Bevan. With Trev Burton on rhythm and the charismatic Chris Kefford on bass, it was a brilliant line up. "Ace " Kefford was definitely the coolest dude on the block back then, a real "showman". This , my friends, is what the 60's was all about.

[@patrickb47480]

I was 19 too, think 1966-7 was the greatest ever time for music. The Move were a brilliant band and Ace's contributions in the videos for Night of Fear and I Can Hear The Grass Grow still make me smile!

[@losgrindos]

Yep - FOUR great singers, Two great guitarists, ONE superb underrated drummer and the COOLEST cat of the 1960s on bass. They had it all...

[@seltaeb3302]

How can Bev Bevan be underrated? He was in ELO! Most pop fans ie blokes knew that & rated him, end of story.

[@davidmacgregor5193]

@@seltaeb3302 Bev Bevan was also in Black Sabbath in 1983 and 1984..

[@pale_saint]

My man Carl Wayne struggles a bit with his vocals here. Guess the night before was ”Night of Fear”?

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

It is pretty cool lol. Great riff. RUSH totally ripped them off but I like how slow and anthems it is in this version.

[@jjkey7120]

Ace is just so cool! I love how they all sing and play and look. The Move were just fantastic at this point, Roy's songs, the showmanship, the skill. In a post-modern world, its not possible to invent a band this good, have pity on your children for the poor fayre they are forced to consume...

[@canesvenatici4259]

There are probably bands out there that are good in their own little way, just not any you've heard of or in the mainstream. The radio isn't the be-all-end-all of music.

[@benmitchner2172]

The Greatest British Band of the 60s right neck and neck with The Beatles- THE MOVE! Four amazing vocalists, pioneering musicianship, powerhouse drums from Bev, and the genius himself on songwriting duties- ROY WOOD! Wish I could have actually been alive then and in Swinging England. For me as an American lifelong fan born in 1976 I just have to say this for people who were there- you witnessed the best times of them all!

[@geoff6942]

Ben, I'm always pleased when those younger than me appreciate good music. In the UK, we have 'Sound of the Sixties' on Saturdays (BBC Radio 2), also available on BBC Sounds, and perhaps worldwide. Presenter Tony Blackburn (DJ from the '60s, says many young people listen to his show.

[@benmitchner2172]

@@geoff6942 Thank you and no problem, mate. The British/European 60s and 70s music is the best in the world. The Move were apparently the UK's #1 band for awhile, right?

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

Cream were way better than The Beatles,despite Eric Claptons "Questionable" Political and Social beliefs. The Moody Blues were aswell and Pretty Things although those were equally Beatles inspired probably. Would say they're still better though and The Move who probably were a bit also. Beatles get overcredited.

[@jimarens1991]

I don’t see any comments acknowledging ELO’s Bev Bevan on the drums. He can hit!

[@seltaeb3302]

Yup, I did. Most here haven't a clue past Roy Wood it seems. Bev would anchor the great ELO. Whose that you say..🙄.

[@Kellie_Curtis-Holmes]

Agreed 😥 Bev Bevan is my favourite drummer, although Keith Moon is a close second place x

[@ceejay744]

ELO sure had one helluva drummer!

[@misterpeppercorn3078]

He used what they call "The Claw" for his left hand snare hand! Love it. The Move were one magnificent band.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

This entire band is like the same as ELO prettymuch or like ELO+1 from what I can see online.

[@korky5214]

This song takes me back to the 60s, cold rainy night listening to Radio Caroline in my warm bedroom

[@davidjohnson9151]

I saw The Move in person at the 1967 National Jazz and Blues Festival at Windsor. They were indeed a great live band. This video captures some of that.

[@95thFoot]

Listen to that bass! Wire-wound Rotosounds on a Fender Precision through a big amp! Not many people back then played and sounded like that. Ace Kefford knew how to play!

[@michaelshore2609]

truly amazing sound - and on a Fender??!?! Especially in "I Can Hear Grass Grow" you can hear the cellos that would come with Electric Light Orchestra....

[@birchward]

Ace kefford ( the bass player ) plays a lovely power bass ! to compliment Roy wood guitar! .a great share . cheers ritchie .

[@PAULLONDEN]

Yeah.....it sounds so good ! Great sound .Hats off also to the mixer .

[@daisywrabbit]

[@petsburg]

What a shame that Ace did acid. If only he hadnt made that. He actually regrets doing that.

[@ferocel]

Poor Carl. His voice was shot. Wisely sang his chorus part octave down. I wanna meet Ace. Not just my bass hero - he had total star quality. Same sound as Entwistle but that extra something.

[@faeembrugh]

He used one of the very rare Fender slab basses as did Entwistle.

[@richardtharris]

Fender precision, played with a pick, Rotosound Swing Bass strings, tube amp cranked, with lots of treble. Both JE and Ace had these in common.

Pure Power Pop. Britain's neglected finest. You can feel it in their strong vocals, the rock guitars and the reverberating harmonies.(and for classicists, there's even more than a hint of Roy's beloved 1812 Overture( Tchaikovsky) in the melody. ❤adore the Move.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

@@astralonagram7853 Tomorrow I like a lot despite being slightly Be*tles influenced (one of the most overrated bands of the entire period) Brian Goddings work with both MAGMA and Blossom Toes is pretty enjoyable though. Pink Floyd is pretty good im just not super into them although I can definitely enjoy Echoes and A Saucerful of Secrets. Honestly don't think Kalidescope is that good. Surprised you didn't mention July though.

[@michaelshore2609]

erm, way more than a "hint" of the 1812 -- the whole tune is very cleverly based on Tchaikovsky's warhorse, including the "image on your bedroom wall" chorus. also, this and "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" and "Walk Upon the Water" all find Roy Wood casting a way-ahead-of-his-time critical eye on psychedelia and mod/hippie culture, perhaps more so than anyone this side of Frank Zappa. Fascinating.

[@tedwilliams3472]

The greatest band of all time.

[@frankyrubful]

I’ve still got the 45 rpm of this song. It seems to me he hits flat notes on “these things you see HEAR”’ & “ help that’s never THERE” & after that on “night of FEAR” … Anybody agree?

[@K._Oss]

To be fair, it sounds like Carl really needed a glass of water & a Halls.

[@drapedup76]

[@canesvenatici4259]

Adds a shot of rawness, humanizes the song so we can relate to it more.

[@Krzyszczynski]

I think he was suffering from a cold or something at the time.

[@WendellBray-l9m]

Well I don't think he would have wanted it too crack but I am surprised that more of the really great singers don't have it happen. You sing your heart out and the vocal cords become strained. But Carl Wayne was really good. You can tell by listening and watching that he put his heart into it But then didn't all of the Move.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

​@canesvenatici4259 Tom Rapp was kinda similar with the lisp.

i consider this and flowers in the rain their best singles.nice to see ace out front on vocals.

[@barrysolly2637]

Met Carl in Margate 1976 when he was appearing in Summer Season locally,he was a great guy very freindly was happy to chat about their early days,he said in those early days he was actually quite nervous,right at the beginning of this imo he looks it when he glances to his left.

I think i was born in the wrong time. I know i was born in the wrong place. I was born in '58, so i was just a kid when all this music was new. But, i was also in the southern U.S., so most of it didnt get too much airplay around here anyway...until late at night when i could pick up the radio stations in NY and Chicago. I stayed up a lot of night listening to groups no one around here knew about. I was a groovy 8 year old.😊

[@geoff6942]

You were born at a great time! To experience the 60s/early 70s was an unbelievable time for new original music. In the Uk, we loved black american soul. We also had great bands such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Move. The Move later became Electric Light Orchestra who reformed in 2010. I can thoroughtly recommend ELO Wembley or Bust concert 2017.

[@rebeccamcdaniel1033]

@geoff6942 OK. I will rephrase what I said. I should have been born a few years earlier and in a very different location to be able to see any of the greatest British bands. I did see ELO once in the 70s, but where I live I would have to fly to a larger city to see them again and I just can't afford it. I really think Jeff should bring his acoustic guitar and come play in my front yard. It's about as big as an arena.

Night of Fear The Move Produced by Denny Cordell Album Move The silent night has turned to a night of fear With windows howling wind into your ear You listen to the spirits far behind These things you hear are too much for your mind The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave The chill that turns your blood from red to grey You know that with these things you see and hear The silent night has turned to a night of fear Image on your bedroom wall, shadows marching in the hall Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind The green and purple lights affect your sight Your mother cannot comfort you tonight Your brain calls out for help that's never there The silent night has turned to a night of fear
