This guy is wonderful. Be it in 1968, 1986, or in 2024. A talent is a talent. Thanks for the video, precious stone.

bad ass song. I just discovered this masterpiece (Oct 2023)

[@jujumulligan43]

My friend...where have you been? Asleep all these years perhaps??

[@j.dragon651]

That whole album kicks butt.

[@danijelandroid4222]

"Time captives" - pure masterpiece of mastermind!

[@DansFlights]

Check out Atomic Rooster. The band former by their original organ player after his stint with Arthur Brown. Good stuff.

[@Coopwie]

Fantastic singer and performer.

[@TigrisTiroux]

You are right !

[@taloniilm]

When I was attending 6th grade at Rancho Verde' Elementary School in Apple Valley, California this song would play on the bus's radio during the ride to school.

[@gondy5936]

Excellent!!!🤘

[@alicerose8057]

I remember waiting to watch my father in this when I was a little girl. This is great the whole thing is here on KZbin now.

[@TigrisTiroux]

Yes, it is on KZbin because I recorded it from TV in 1986 with my Stereo Hi-fi Betamax recorder and digitalize it and upload it on KZbin. And I like to share what I have. That way, it is not lost. I'm glad you like it.

[@chrisfernald-cd7er]

Please explain, how was your father in this?

[@nsnopper]

⁠@@chrisfernald-cd7erListen to the lyrics. I think you’ll find the answer there.

Are you saying your father is Mr. Brown or one of the other fellows?

I absolutely love crazy world of Arthur brown that performance was 100 percent too perfect of the original version no way could be that identical after eighteen years of original song

Happy birthday, Arthur!

Indeed! He is now 80 something I think

[@Judy-et4ex]

He is still performing today.

[@jujumulligan43]

Thank you so very much for sharing this incredible video with me and everyone. What a performer and also a very intelligent person. With gratitude.😊

[@freedomisntfree2089]

They used the original 1968 back tracks for this in 1986. Lol

[@TigrisTiroux]

This was perfect that way ......Solid Gold was not a live TV show. This give us the opportunity to heard the song from the original studio recording with the artist ''live'' on stage.

[@5roundsrapid263]

@@TigrisTirouxLip syncing was common on TV back then. The cameras had glass tubes, and loud music would distort the video. TOTP and AB did it too.

Like this outfit sooo much better! Lypsinced,but still very very cool!!!❤❤

[@Cl4rendon]

And he`s still performing ..............With 80

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

ARTHUR BROWN GETTIN DOWN !

[@BRENDAJASON1]

Glad hearing this again but this was the 80’s nothing like the hay days of the 60’s when it hit the charts

[@eddieboyky]

No one on Solid Gold had any idea how to handle this one.

[@jujumulligan43]

But obviously they did! Or you wouldn't be watching this!! Hahaha!!

[@patr942]

Arthur Brown probably influenced Ian Gillian (Deep Purple). At some moment , voice is very similar to Ian Gillian's voice (for example "Speed King" from In Rock Album). This guy is crazy (helmet on fire on his head seen on some old video) but this music is awesome

[@stewiegriffinfan18]

I heard this song by someone driving by me in a Subaru in New Zealand. I wonder what became of him, I bet he's a total legend :)

[@lastdayonearth8381]

That Was A Subaru? Been Wondering For Years What Car That Was.

[@umutvuralkurt5023]

@@ronhublimo5220 I have played for 58 years. I have listened to this tune I can't count how many times, this is not live.

They didn’t even change the sound for the 1980s. lol. They left the organ in, etc. somehow that strikes me as funny

Miming

[@TigrisTiroux]

All performance on TV Solid Gold was miming but excellent original sound.

[@harrynewiss4630]

@@TigrisTiroux doesn't excuse it

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

@@harrynewiss4630I can’t be certain in the case of this show, but with a lot of TV shows it was more to do with a decision on the part of the TV company and not the artist. It made recording faster, and therefore cheaper, if they didn’t have to wait for bands to properly set up, do sound-checks etc, record and then clear off for the next band. It also meant that the sound engineers only had to worry about getting the presenter’s mic right and not worry about the sound of the band performing. British TV show Top Of The Pops routinely used to do this as a matter of policy. A lot of bands resented having to mime and Ive even seen some who deliberately clowned around or mimed badly to highlight how ridiculous they thought it was. I would have preferred to see Arthur Brown sing live in this footage, but it’s not necessarily his fault that he didn’t.
