Alexander Graham Bell🎉

Mike Chapman, all the Sweet hits, Kiss You All Over, Mickey, Better Be Good to Me, The Best, Stumblin In, Heart and Soul, man, that guy can write hits. WOW

yes the Afro American Blues has chords, but the chords (1-4 or1-4-5) come from the influence of Celtic song. Remember Bluesmen were Songsters first. The use of one chord is present in the Delta Blues. However Piedmont Blues has different chord structures. Influenced by Ragtime swing.

Alexis Korner sure was an opinionated fellow, he doesn't hesitate to criticise.. 'on a bad night (Fleetwood Mac's music) is the most dreadful bore you've ever heard in your life'...'they've (Savoy Brown) made some absolutely diabolical records...really atrocious'....interesting.

Fred Frith Rules! Saw him live once with Skeleton Crew back in the 80's. so much fun. So glad not everyone has forgotten Henry Cow

Dude said their tired of heavy rock. That didn't age well. I was born after this documentary came out and all I've listened to is heavy rock and blues my whole life.

This is fascinating, a lot of the Black american artists couldn't play in front of a racially mixed audience at home in the U.S. I'm not suggesting that Britain was a racial Utopia, bt the british white kids got into the blues because they would provide the backing bands to the American artists when they toured the UK. Ella Fitzgerald said Germany was her favourite country to play, and the best audience anywhere...who would of thought it!

Thanks for this obscure relic. I think my personal highlights are Chicken Shack 'Gypsy Woman' live excerpt, Savoy Brown rehearsing, and Fleetwood Mac running down a working version of 'Station Man'.

How does that guy accomplish such a swinging 70s bowl cut. He thinks he knows everything.

Insane catchy hooks! This is like a fever dream.. wheres the Quatro demos??

I’m amazed by the knowledge that everyone has I feel the passion sometimes I learn more from commentary section than documentary itself UK WILL always be ahead of their time they look like smart alien in a human body I’m nobody from Morocco who is fascinated by uk culture I live her in Morocco my life is miserable because of our failure regime but the poverty won’t prevent me to Learn from you guys through UA-cam and it gives me chill god bless everyone 🙏

Excellent! Such a real look at this amazing music and the music I was raised on. The English got the beat. Helped saved the Blues.

He could have had all the hits HIMSELF, he didn't even need The Sweet.

Who is the musician at minute 30:10?

You done stole it from us and spit it right back great job

Thank you. Subtitles would have been so helpful...

❤❤❤

Excellent guitar transcription.

Amazing

You can see why Christine Perfect (McVie) went on to uber-fame with Fleetwood Mac..

the CLOWN at 2:51, Paul Oliver(?) ,Idk who he is, but he is wearing thee most ridiculous looking wig/toupe I hav ever seen, NO DOUBT !!!

I was a huge Chicken Shack fan back in the day.

Everybody must read The Blues Really Mezz Mezrow's amazing auto bio. One of Keith Richards, favorite book. Thank you again fo the tip Keith

All these guys played together during the summer of 71'. I saw them all and was introduced to them at The Summerthing Concerts in Boston. What a great line-up!

Very sad seeing Danny Kirwan knowing how he was sliding into mental illness.

A gem. Thanks for uploading.

Champion Jack Dupree spent 2 years in a Japanese POW camp. Hard life.

This is excellect, thank you.

Goodness me! This takes me back to the High Wycombe Blues Loft of the late sixties. I saw most of the performers shown in this video (plus Jo Anne Kelly, John Dummer’s Blues Band, Steamhammer and Bakerloo Line and other British Blues bands). The most impressive artists without a doubt were Champion Jack Dupree and Howlin’ Wolf. I saw Howlin’ Wolf twice, once with a supporting band and once solo and he was quite stunning both times. We spoke to him at the interval and he was a charming man, no hint of the curmudgeon he was supposed to be like. Mike Raven was quite wrong, the ‘Blues Boom’ only lasted a couple of years and many bands playing Blues, joined the ranks of the Progressives or began playing Heavy Rock. Incidentally, Fleetwood Mac at 31.03 sound more like Little Feat. I also agree with Pete Townsend, I have been a semi pro. musician for over 50 years and the curse of open mic. nights is the Blues Jam. They are popular, because everyone can play a Blues chord progression and most musicians want an opportunity to play extended solos. Anyway, end of rant.

Yawn, WTF is this and who are this awful people?

Long BEFORE THE WHITES ADOPTED THIS FROM BLACKS ,,,,,,,T HERE WAS A,SHIPS WITH ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO ,had homemade instruments ,,THERE WAS NOT YET A STANDARD MUSIC WRITING RULES,,,,PIRATES WERE JAMMING ,RIDDLE,POEM,HYMMMNN ,,WITH WHISTLE ,YODELL ,,,,!!!

its a shame we didn't see more jeremy, Danny and Christine in the mac

Of course te US artists blew the Brits away on every level. Maybe Peter Green came close. I don't even see bands like Chicken Shack as being Blues at all. Pub Rock. Alexis Corner was a very knowledgable cat and presented a great radio show, but his singing and playing weren't up to much. John Mayall's keys playing is abysmal. Eric Clapton the most over rated musician to walk this earth.

Jeez Fleetwood Mac always looked so pale back then. I remember in 1990 I was working in a biker cafe in Surrey, and this blues came on and I thought maybe it was the 'Stones, and someone said no its Fleetwood Mac. I was 18, and of course said "shut up it is not". The realisation that the greatest UK blues band wasn't the 'Stones happened right there. SO good to see the master, Alexis Korner. I remember his silky voice on the radio when I was a kid. Chicken Shack were brutal. Stan fairly pulling some faces there lol this film is in the library of congress!

What is the band that Mike Vernon was recording at the end?

Paddy Pimblett playing the flying V.

14:14 - does anyone know which song they're playing?

This was awesome! Loved seeing a young Christie McVie playing keys with Fleetwood Mac!

14:33 pre Foghat.

Christine!!! Just Perfect...

❤

Вступал в пионеры - любимая группа была

A great video; particularly enjoyed the rare Shack, Duster Campion Jack & Jeremy Spencer bits.

Who made this? Can't it be remixed? I don't understand how you can have music playing loud with the narrator talking in the background barely audible. No one's paying attention apparently.

Great bottom end on these tracks! Maybe not using a high pass filter for everything is a good idea.

Thanks for sharing ✨🎨👨‍🎨👍🏻🍉❤️✨
