THE most underrated band in history. Not female history, but all Rock history.

[@greatunz67]

Nah, they were just average, you obviously watched their bio which hyped them up. Truth is if it weren't for the attractive asian girls in the band nobody would have noticed or remembered them. It's very generic rock, nothing special.

[@BigSCTVfan]

@@greatunz67 What’s your idea of “special” rock?

[@matsuihenriques2013]

rediscovered the band not too long ago, thanks to KZbin algorithm, and am not complaining, instead, very happy about it. ❤♨️💯💎🇨🇦 2:38

[@silentlou4375]

I’ve only discovered them recently and I’ve found their live stuff is outstanding, but recorded albums are not nearly as good, tame in comparison.

[@mjulio71]

@@silentlou4375 Agree. Ironically, it's always the contrary, isn't it? Bands that sound amazing on albums, only to suck badly in reality.

[@philc8575]

These women never got the respect and recognition they deserved!!👏👏👏👏

[@seamuspetrie6650]

If I could travel back in time to see just one band perform live at their peak, it’d be Fanny.

[@johno1104]

Well if we stayed a week we could probably catch Laura Nyro and The Doors too

[@flavorkingpluto]

I had never heard of Fanny until I recently read an article about them and I had never heard them until now. Holy smokes! They rock!

[@lemurianchick]

Check out the Beat Club performances. They're insane.

[@leestamm3187]

I had forgotten about this group until I saw this pop up. They were victims of silly record company ideas about girl groups. Thanks for the memory.

[@bastianray6334]

Nicky Barcley had such a powerful voice I love how tight the band was not even a single error in ther perfomance they played like a complete unity of pure rock of the best ❤

[@Omertahun]

Alice de Buhr said that they always thought that everyone is a shitty singer in the band. Apparently they werent popular enough for someone to tell them to STFU and keep on singing. Fanny had a super discouraging story unfortunately. Like, noone had the common sense to put them on tour with Peter Greenes Fleetwood Mac? Why

[@thomaspfluger5342]

Listen to that voice, that piano, that guitar, that bass. One of the best bands of their time.

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

those drums ain't exactly chopped liver

[@brianharris7243]

June Millington's Les Paul mangling is 70s inspirational.

[@ssalevan]

It's a real privilege to see such a killer performance in such awesome quality, especially for a group as criminally underrated as Fanny. These uploads of y'all's are a gift to music history.

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

Thanks for the kind words

[@dr.s.]

So rare to see footage of these ladies. Such an incredible band.

[@jwjeffrey]

There's a whole lot of stuff right here on You Tube, just type in the words Band Fanny

[@dr.s.]

@@jwjeffrey depends on your definition of "a whole lot" and mine of "rare". There are about 20 different performances of the original lineup in varying quality floating around the tubes (half of them being from the two Beat-Club dates in '71 and '72). That's not that much.

[@octothorpe12]

I love how there's this Fanny resurgence recently. They're solid!

[@JBBooks-qv2kp]

Guitar licks sound so like Joe Walsh. Amazing how good these ladies were and no one remembers them. They were so ahead of their time.

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

They crushed it!

[@redcat9436]

I was reminded more of Tony Iommi.

[@paulluchter137]

Joy of Cooking was another such band then. They have had a sort of reunion, but the piano player doesn't like what she played then.

[@MikeMcAdam623]

June’s guitar always sounds great ❤.

[@betagemslostmedia607]

Love the little ad lib where she adds "Jack" to the line "I saw the Wolfman" - nice nod to the host, delivered with a sly little smile!

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

This song let loose!

[@tedharrington5432]

It is just a crying shame that Fanny did not become huge in the 1970's. I am just thankful I have all their albums (well CD's actually) that I still listen to this day. Now if I could only find some concert bootlegs...

[@christianman73]

They're actually selling a concert CD now on the official Fanny band site. I can't link to it here in the comments, because KZbin deletes comments with links now, but search for Fanny's site, and look for the live CD. They were great in the studio, but they always rocked much harder, and played together as a band better, in concert!

[@tedharrington5432]

@@christianman73 Thanks for the information!!

[@christianman73]

@@tedharrington5432 You're welcome! Always happy to help out another Fanny fan!

[@SierraAppa]

Everyone should know about this band!!! They flipping rock 🎸🎸🎸

[@StephanieJeanne]

It's really cool to see women rocking it like this! I like the lead singer on this one. She's so gritty and looks like she's having fun! The guitarist is awesome, too!

[@cronistamundano8189]

They all could sing, every one of them had lead singing roles except for the drummer. This band is awsome but is little known. They REALLY rock as hell.

[@dr.s.]

@@cronistamundano8189 Alice sang lead on a few tracks (Solid Gold on Mothers Pride, Rock Bottom Blues on Fanny Hill).

[@cronistamundano8189]

@@dr.s. TRUE!!

[@cronistamundano8189]

@@dr.s. I live in Brazil and here they were very little known. My generation never heard about them, and we had our share of female rockers and singers - if you could check out Os Mutantes, Rita Lee (recently deceased) and Elis Regina you will know the best known. Suzi Quattro was big here, but I only came across Fanny during the pandemic. Men have I ever thanked the Gods Of Rock for showing me that band. I showed them to my old friends and none of them knew them, not even the most nerdy!

[@dr.s.]

@@cronistamundano8189 different background but similar story with them here. When they were atbleast kinda "big" I wasn't even existing and when I was old enough nobody talked about them. Also came across them recently (through a KZbin recommendation that popped up more than once). They must have been at least somewhat known here, the Beat-Club performances were shot here. Will check out your recommendations later.

[@gregm9230]

As soon as I finish this time machine I'm building, I'm going back to '73 to marry June! 😃😍❤️

[@birgitlucci9419]

Good luck with that 😅

[@luispaz3589]

Better make a big one and sell tickets! I'm buying!!!

[@Marathon97]

You swoon June and I'll try the same with Nickey. She's awesome!

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

[@DanielKatzel]

My favorite Fanny tune - a criminally underpublicized band with insane talent !

[@Merylstreep1949]

Please more of Fanny❤❤❤❤

[@ecldinc]

Severely underrated.

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

Raw talent, no twirking or being half naked.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

The irony being that talent is much, much sexier.

[@demonicsweaters]

Such a great band, 70s Rock perfection!

[@joannebeauchamp1169]

Glad to see that Fanny is finally getting the attention they deserve! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@dougphelps6917]

I remember these girls... the special keeps bring the goods! We were blessed to have it in the 70's.

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

Plays well today, 50 years later! Another perfect example proving out that the music from our past is still relevant & needs to be cherished! Living my best La Vida Loca here in southeastern Arizona

[@t.e.1189]

Amazing! Nickey was a real trip! What a musician.

[@Tysto]

I love this performance so much... How did this not become a #1 hit??

[@JimBeam-jo6vp]

What a shame that they were not appreciated at that time. They are simply great!

[@RobinKay75]

Underrated and not talked about enough. Thanks for this Midnight Special! June is one of my favorite guitarists.

[@that70sgirl90]

Growing up in the 70s, we used to follow an all girls band called "The Fairer Sex." They were relation to us on my dad's side of the family. At the time, they were one of the best girl bands in the area. I can really appreciate the musical talent these girl have. Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖

[@timtv2826]

I grew up in the 60's and 70's but somehow missed this band. Discovered Fanny in just the last few months. What a fantastic band they were. All great singers and players.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

fk man...I'm crying at 2:46..these girls should of gotten recognition throughout the years..they shouldn't of struggled, they should of been hailed as a dope rock band, this is good stuff..god keep you girls

[@louiebee6745]

Always great to hear Fanny live! Nicky's smokin hot vocals and June's awesome slide work are forever epic! And yes I have ALL their albums on vinyl!👍

[@ruddle17]

same here - but live they were even better than on record imo

[@louiebee6745]

@@ruddle17 100% agree! The Beat Club performances alone are LEGEND!!✌

[@johnvrabec9747]

I'm a rocker from back in the 60s & 70s, and never heard about them until my YT feed started to explode with Fanny vids. They are fantastic! I read some articles and interviews to learn more about them, and was saddened to learn about the issues they had. They should have been HUGE! Too bad a major band couldn't have taken them under their wing and toured with them to get them more exposure and radio airplay. Maybe a case they were ahead if their time?

[@sheilaspaulding8812]

Why weren’t these precious talented women celebrated more?? They are amazing!

If you haven't already, check out thier live Beat Club performances (also available on youtube). They were a phenomenal live band.

[@Colley1973]

Cannot understand how I have no memory of this band. This was telecast my senior year of high school. All we had was Top 40, no FM Rock then but only found out about them a few months ago.

Don't forget the band called Babe Ruth

[@MostlyBrenda]

Fil Henley from Wings of Pegasus did an interview with June on his channel.

[@Arpeggioshredder]

Nicky's voice has some Janice Joplin in it. Good stuff.

I´d say Joplin has Barclay in her...

[@jah2ras4i]

Nicky is was also a superb keyboard/ piano/organ player, vocalist , writer, and all round musician👍

Am I the only one that thinks that this kind of performance it's enough to win inductment to the RnR hall of Fame? I know it's a little late now, and no one can give them back the succes they should have had, but it would be very very beautiful
