Prog Rock Holy Grail! One of the Best songs in this genre! Excellent in 2024!

Brings back memories of a close friend who used to love this song, he was taken from this world in an incident where he was wrongfully identified as a perpretrator of something that he had nothing to do with, RIP Kevin bless you my friend.

When Hammill is the heart of the band, Evans is their all time soul!

A much better sounding version of this session track exists, taken directly from a BBC transcription LP, unfortunately it was edited down to 6 min. This here is the original.

Excellente version!!! Hugh Banton est incroyable

I was introduced to this different kind of music way back when I was a wistful teen getting turned on by smoke and tabs to fulfill the aura of music quite new to me then. I still do listen to this and remember.

This would make a great soundtrack into to a movie about an outcast, like a divorced dectective or something like that.

I was thinkin the same thing. James Coburn and Angie Dickinson somehow became visible in my thoughts 😂

[@cpa2788]

That's how BBC sessions roll.

[@Fexobs]

Live in the studio. Recorded at the Playhouse Theatre (which was used as a studio for BBC Sessions in the days before Maida Vale. There was no audience) on 12/10/70 and first broadcast 24/10/70 on John Peel's Top Gear.

[@cpa2788]

@@Fexobs Thanks for that extra info about the Playhouse. I was wondering about it.

The album paled in comparison to its successors for me, but this song is a banger.
