Roger Chapman and Family (Live 1970.) Although Family were quite prominent in the UK, they never quite made it in the US....I Love the weaver's answer..
I've absolutely never heard falsetto so intense. Some people don't like it, I think it CAN get a bit overboard but at the same time I love it, it's hard to explain. I love how he can go from gentle to total, deeply masculine A-A-A-A-A-A-A
God we had some brilliant stuff in the 70's lol, everyone thinks they grew up in the best era for music but we really did. Tull, Free, Zepalin, Sabath, the Groundhogs, Stewart and the Faces, Ten Years After, Cream the list goes on and on
Haveing been lucky enoughto have seen Family in Manchester ,mayde 6 or 7 times, i feel blessed, they were "fuckin'" fantastic; i am 74 yrs young now, i would love to bring those yrs back again xxxx

@@JeanCarlos-tv5lr Happy to : Weaver of life, let me look and see The pattern of my life gone by Shown on your tapestry Just for one second, one glance upon your loom The flower of my childhood could appear within this room Does it of my youth show tears of yesterday Broken hearts within a heart as love first came my way Did the lifeline patterns change as I became a man An added aura untold blends as I asked for her hand Did your golden needle sow its thread virginal white As lovers we embraced as one upon our wedding night Did you capture all the joys, the birth of our first son The happiness of family made a brother for the one The growing of the brothers, the manliness that grew Is it there in detail, is it there to view Do the sparks of life grow bright as one by one they wed To live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've led?

Weaver of life, at last now I can see The pattern of my life gone by upon your tapestry
Many out there may not know this but Family was a name given to them by Terry Ellis and Chris Wright, they used to be called the Farinas - anyway these two guys managed the band alongside my band The Amazing Friendly Apple; the John Evan's Smash from Blackpool; the Warriors from Accrington and the Jaybirds from Mansfield. Terry & Chris changed all the names - the John Evan's Smash became Jethro Tull; The Warriors became Yes and the Jaybirds became Ten Years After. Terry & Chris started the record label 'Chrysalis' - some more useless information now only of use to the anoraks out there.
I thought the story was that Kim Fowley named them "The Family" because they dressed like mobsters. Of course, that may have been Fowley making like he had a bigger part in their career than was actually the case - wouldn't be the first time.
+waddypete Interesting nuggets of information like yours, appear on youtube from time to time. If it wasn't for you and people like you this info would probably be lost forever. Keep the knowlwedge coming.
Which begs the question were The Amazing Friendly Apple renamed, don't leave us dangling 'Pete? And thanks for the info. In the Silk Mill pub, Derby, Family were lionised and played continuosly on the juke box circa 7, and came to play live at the pub's anniversary.
Best live band ever. Saw them many times including the recording of the live side of Anyway. I first saw them at Corby Grammar School Friday-night dance Spring or Summer term 1968 iirc (they appeared on BBC ToTP, later that same or following year). Jim King and Ric Grech played. Leicester band Broodly Hoo had been booked to play. Rob Townsend had been their drummer and the agency who represented Broodly Hoo was part-owned by 'Charlie' Whitney. Only after seeing them on BBC TV did we realise the weird (and brilliant) band that knocked our socks off that night was actually Family. Still my most memorable gig. I walked Kath McGuiness home that night.
This takes me back to the days when a UK pub needed a) good beer and b) a good jukebox. If this came on in a 'head' pub, there were instantly dozens of Roger Chapman impersonators putting their heart and soul into it (I often joined in !!) A timeless jewel.
saw them in the Liverpool Philharmonic and sat on the back row. Chapman started singing and his voice hit the wall behind me and when it rebounded I've never been the same since
Saw them in September 70 city Hall newcastle all of them were great musicians it wasn't just Chapman he went through about 20 tambourines they had 2 massive banks of Wem speakers my first concert wow
Upstairs in the Red Lion pub Leytonstone sometime between 1967-71 - astonishing, mesmerizing perfomance every time from Chapman and the guys. Total class band and completely unique. Respect.
I saw 'Family" in a concert in Torquay in 1970. This changer my life and turned me from a Mod, into growing my hair long and a beard to go with it. Wow.... Where have those 53 years gone ! I am now living on the beach in Thailand, so I can't complain. 😊
This band was so much more advanced than most of the popular rock groups of these times. Their improvisations,combined w/ Chapman's otherworldly vocal gymnastics produced an almost free form jazz kind of approach. In addition , the PASSION they displayed was unparalleled ...
I was there, sadly underated especially in the USA, loved these guys, Music from A Dolls House is one of my top ten albums of forever !!!! What an original voice and band .......

Family were my absolute favourite band during school years with my mate Steve Plant - whatever happened to him!? Saw Family play the Rainbow and Royal Festival Hall in London and even got to see their last ever gig in 1975 at the old Leicester Poly. Chappo was a big Leicester City fan and Lenny Glover, their winger, shared singing the final encore which I can't remember what it was. The gig was off the scale awesome. They played stuff from every album, and man they could rock. They had it all...brilliant musicians came and went, only Townsend stuck it out with Chappo and Charlie till the end. I'm struck by the references to the great Peter Gabriel citing Chapman as an influence. I can hear it yes, but the whole early Genesis thing drew from Family. They were always so creative, an extraordinary breadth of instruments, wildly original arrangements, lots of acoustic stuff, blues and folk traditions never out of it. So glad they were part of my growing up. Bandstand is for me one of the greatest albums of the 60s and 70s, I wore out several copies. I still play it and can't believe the quality of the songwriting. No wonder they never cracked the States. Nothing could be more English than Coronation or Glove, both masterpieces. If if you don't know it, get the album, it won't disappoint. They did reform for a one off a couple of times, okay a two-off. I saw them at the Roundhouse in London about four years ago near Christmas. Wonderful. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Chappo is a legend.

Saw these fellla‘a twice at the Sunderland Locarno in ‘69 and ‘70. They were as good if not better a live band as anybody I saw. For some reason they couldn’t quite make that breakthrough from recognised and highly reflected to superstardom. A truly fantastic band.
My favourite band. Lucky enough to see them close the first half of Rolling Stones tribute concert for Brian Jones in Hyde Park, London. All those butterflies - surreal.
EPIC ! Few bands today could hold a candle to these guys , a mesmerising blend of raw energy and craft , that still sounds fresh and vital 46 years later .
Just discovered this band thanks to a programme on BBC 4, I was born in 1972 - it must have been great to see bands like this live ...just great all round
an amazing tune from one of my all time top 20 vinyl albums. This tune was formative in my musical tastes, love it & still can't resist singing along (best I can), I also have a 45 with this & What The Hell on
I saw a lot of groups during the 66/67/68 period: none on par with The Family: terrifying Chapman: he almost killed Graham (Fillmore East): no american recognition by the way. they opened for Hendrix ant they ate Hendrix! incredible frightening act
Went to see Family in the early 70s at the Argus butterfly, peterlee, Co Durham. Will never forget the first time they brought the house down. Who else was there, leave a message
Genial! como me costo encontrar esta banda y esta canción, la escuche hace como 15 años atrás en un programa de radio, y hace unos 7 años la volví a escuchar en Capusotto... al fin la encontré! ahora a fumar y a viajar!

Fantastic band with an unusual instrumental lineup. This looks like an extract from their performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970, one of the many occasions on which I saw them live in the early 1970s. I also saw them live at the Central London Polytechnic (famous for being where Richard Wright, Nick Masón and Roger Waters studied) and got chatting to Roger Chapman after the show. He was a really nice guy and autographed one of his broken tambourines for me. He used to smash them against the mike stand and would get through several in a performance.
I definitely was in the movie when I saw it in a theatre in the early 70's and on a bootleg video I got of it in the 80's. I remember as a high school kid being utterly bewildered by it when I saw it in the theatre, but it certainly made a lasting impression and when I finally got that boot 15 years or so later it Family blew my mind. Sorry it's not in the re-release. Btw, the original title of the flick was just Isle Of Wight.
Roger Chapmans voice was extraordinary and unique
Still is! The old bloke is still alive and kicking.
I've absolutely never heard falsetto so intense. Some people don't like it, I think it CAN get a bit overboard but at the same time I love it, it's hard to explain. I love how he can go from gentle to total, deeply masculine A-A-A-A-A-A-A
@Lookup2Wakeup Trudat. I always thought it was like choking on mashed potatoes
Concordo plenamente! Uma voz extraordinária!!! 🇧🇷
Fergal Sharkey ?
God we had some brilliant stuff in the 70's lol, everyone thinks they grew up in the best era for music but we really did. Tull, Free, Zepalin, Sabath, the Groundhogs, Stewart and the Faces, Ten Years After, Cream the list goes on and on
One of the finest songs ever written. Always moves me.
How the hell Family didn't become a mega band worldwide has forever alluded me! Pure class!
Sadly because they were too ugly for mass consumption.
Maybe it was because they couldnt spell ?
@@admiralbenbow5083 , please allucidate.
@@f.w.2054 Ugly? Don't start me about Picasso !!
Reportedly because when touring, they played the tunes of the next album, not the one the audience had just bought...
This was my favourite band in 69. I saw them at the Kings Head, Romford. Peter Gabriel said he he was a big fan of Family - they were unique.
Haveing been lucky enoughto have seen Family in Manchester ,mayde 6 or 7 times, i feel blessed, they

Happy to :
Weaver of life, let me look and see
The pattern of my life gone by
Shown on your tapestry
Just for one second, one glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood could appear within this room
Does it of my youth show tears of yesterday
Broken hearts within a heart as love first came my way
Did the lifeline patterns change as I became a man
An added aura untold blends as I asked for her hand
Did your golden needle sow its thread virginal white
As lovers we embraced as one upon our wedding night
Did you capture all the joys, the birth of our first son
The happiness of family made a brother for the one
The growing of the brothers, the manliness that grew
Is it there in detail, is it there to view
Do the sparks of life grow bright as one by one they wed
To live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've led?
Are my lover's threads cut off when aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space upon our woven crest
A gathering for the last time as her coffin slowly lain
Ash to ashes, dust to dust, one day we will regain
Does it show the visits when grandchildren on my knee
But only hearing laughter when age took my sight from me
Lastly through these last few years of loniless maybe
Does by sight a shooting star fade from your tapestry
But wait, there in the distance your loom I think I see
Could it be that after all my prayers you've answered me
After days of wondering I see the reason why
You've kept it to this minute for I'm about to die?
Weaver of life, at last now I can see
The pattern of my life gone by upon your tapestry

Hi Pebey, as far as I'm aware they were never referred to as THE Family - just Family. You must admit that The Farinas was a pretty limp name?

my brother searched for years to find this group. He taught me what good music was.
I ha the privilege of seeing them play live several times back in the old days, Fantastic band.
so did i.
Me too!!!
Blew Glasgow away in 1970,and Glasgow audiences either love you or hate you.They loved Roger,he was really out there !
I saw them in Ipswich in 1971/72..
was john weider in the band during the times you saw them live? he is my cousin twice removed
Only just born when this came out-but I love this! Today’s rubbish tv acts-watch this n learn kids! Everything I’d want at a live gig is right here!
The best thing ever to come out of Leicester, quality 👍
This takes me back to the days when a UK pub needed a) good beer and b) a good jukebox. If this came on in a 'head' pub, there were instantly dozens of Roger Chapman impersonators putting their heart and soul into it (I often joined in !!) A timeless jewel.
Ah gone are the days 😭 these kids have never lived 😂
Great story man...made me smile. Wish i'd been there. 😊
Yea,that and lighting your farts with your Ronson variflame
no band was more original than this group of amazing musicians. i have every one of their albums. started listening in early 70's and still do.
Yep still got all their vinyl
I have one vinyl (Family Entertainment) the rest are cds
couldn't agree more
saw them in the Liverpool Philharmonic and sat on the back row. Chapman started singing and his voice hit the wall behind me and when it rebounded I've never been the same since
I remember sitting in the front row in Southampton and not being able to hear the engine running on my van when I drove home afterwards.
PETER GABRIEL said Chapman was his #1 singing influence!
@@jonbongjovi1869 I can see that now you mention it
Saw them in September 70 city Hall newcastle all of them were great musicians it wasn't just Chapman he went through about 20 tambourines they had 2 massive banks of Wem speakers my first concert wow
love, love ,love. saw this band many times in uk. Roundhouse in particular. many thanks for posting. Best lyrics ever.
Roundhouse. My all time favourite venue back then, I saw so many thrilling gigs then.
The music, the lyrics, the voice, the haunting memories......priceless !!!
Great music and singing, it''s left something of a shadow on the wall.
Upstairs in the Red Lion pub Leytonstone sometime between 1967-71 - astonishing, mesmerizing perfomance every time from Chapman and the guys.
Total class band and completely unique. Respect.
I saw 'Family" in a concert in Torquay in 1970.
This changer my life and turned me from a Mod, into growing my hair long and a beard to go with it.
Wow.... Where have those 53 years gone !
I am now living on the beach in Thailand, so I can't complain.
😊
I was at the same Family concert .. Wow !
It changed my life too mate !
Several marriages gone by and I too is living in Thailand 🇹🇭 😊
I was into Yes and Pink Floyd . Oh, I live in Pala Beach Thailand.
Great era and I'm another one in Thailand!!
An incredible voice.
I'm 64 today , I'm glad to be listening to this amazing track having had a few bottles of export and three pipes ....up to now
I’m on old peculiar , my self, seriously tho’ , more of a Rory G sort of guy as it happens , but Family , what a grt bloody band . Cheers M8
for me this is an absolutely great rock song , roger chapman has a unique voice and he is still gigging today
No one has a voice like Mr Chapman.
Bernardo Lanzetti came close.
Great comment...Yeah it's like he is channelling..if that's a thing...anyway it's sublime ❤
Fantastic...Vocals and flute...all the band...
Amazing...
This band was so much more advanced than most of the popular rock groups of these times. Their improvisations,combined w/ Chapman's otherworldly vocal gymnastics produced an almost free form jazz kind of approach. In addition , the PASSION they displayed was unparalleled ...
One of the best bands ever - this is an incredible number!
Wonderfull singer. Je me souviens d'eux dans les années 70. I remember them in the 70. What a band ! A tempest !

I was so lucky to see them LIVE!
I was there, sadly underated especially in the USA, loved these guys, Music from A Dolls House is one of my top ten albums of forever !!!! What an original voice and band .......
An exceptional band whose live performances were an amazing experience. Lucky enough to see them several times.
Sublime, so under-rated, Chapman's voice is unreal
hes imitating an angry goat!

Great awesome band from the 70s, kids today wouldn’t see this as talent. It’s so sad. Thanks for sharing 🤘🤘🇨🇦🇬🇧
Chappo is still alive and was performing in 2018. Smarter than the average bear to live this long.
absolutely superb band loved all their music and fantastic live, Midnight Court at the Lyceum in London
Saw them at the Albert Hall. What an absolute adrenaline rush.
Brilliant band with an amazing vocalist!
saw Family in the early 70's playing at Paris Bataclan.. one of the best performing bands on stage I have ever seen !!!
I have to play this when stuff gets too much. Fuck yeah! Powerful. Roger Chapman at his wildest
how good is this? Too young to have seen the lads live, but would love to have seen them here and Glasto 71- fantastic!
Family. Incredible band. !!!!!
Still remember the intensity of their gig at 1970 Turku Ruisrock Festival - less than 50 years ago!
My favourite Family track, Sheer brilliance.
I remember going to their farewell concert in Glasgow(sometime in the 73-4s).Wish I had my hair back.Peace & Love.
Hi
I just went on ancestry.com and apparently your hair is happily married with 2 kids, and living in Slough with a groovy blonde beehive.
Saw Family at the Rainbow Finsbury Park. farewell concert. Then as Streetwalkers a few years later. This was real raw talent.
loved this band fantastic voice xx
Original Artists, unique, inspirational and never forgotten!!
🌟💫✨💫🌟
Looks like Bill Oddie on the flute. 53 years later I still listen to them among the 11,000 other tracks on my phone.
Saw these fellla‘a twice at the Sunderland Locarno in ‘69 and ‘70.
They were as good if not better a live band as anybody I saw.
For some reason they couldn’t quite make that breakthrough from recognised and highly reflected to superstardom.
A truly fantastic band.
followed this band in my youth magic and underated by far
For me Chappo is one of the best vocalists ever bar none
Agree with comments not given their due regard. This is a wonderful track...performed live!!
Inoubliable family
Ce chant comme un cri à la face de ce pitoyable monde
Un groupe comme jamais .unique .intense .démesuré inegalable...

Trust me,it was. We were the lucky kids,its taken fifty years for some of us to realise it@@brhodes0

Still have the original Family Entertainment album, played it to death.
Loved their music, still do, 50 years later.
Superb! A hugely underrated band
Just beautiful....
been a big fan of Family since my early teens and still am a big fan. I am 63 now.........

Love this band. Watched them so many times at Portsmouth Guildhall. Absolutely superb.

Top Tune & band, saw them often, still have all my vinyl too
They were a great band, we had it so good back then.
Simply Marvellous !!
A great song!
I think this group's live performances in the early 70's rank alongside those of Cream and Jethro Tull
stevedonyoung much better than Jethro Tull !
I saw a lot of groups during the 66/67/68 period: none on par with The Family: terrifying Chapman: he almost killed Graham (Fillmore East): no american recognition by the way. they opened for Hendrix ant they ate Hendrix! incredible frightening act
How true,saw them twice at the Argus butterfly in peterlee,co Durham in the very early 70s the best
Awesome. Saw them live. Amazing.
Amo questa canzone grandi Family e grande voce Roger questa è la potenza della musica degli anni 70

Yes, and hte Wem cabs on stage
Moving. First heard them recorded accidentally on cassette 30 yrs ago.Beautiful!
Never saw them live but they were my favourite band back in the day.
The GREATEST LYIRICS IN THE HISTORY...OF THE PLANET EARTH..
I love his way of singing.
i love this track so much
unique, underrated but so brilliant
I was there! Great performance
Wonderful!!!!
seen this band many times at a time when music sorry live music was brilliant one of the best
So did i mate Totally agree
Rumor has it that there is no tambourine that has ever contacted Roger Chapman's hand that still functions properly
I am the proud owner of one that he threw into the audience , Birmingham Odeon 1972.
I knew ric gretch since I was 15 rog chapman James king and ric came to my wedding in 1969
Saw Streetwalker supporting The Who in 1974. Best gig of my life, and I have been to many gigs since. Magic
Saw them twice, what a honor
Their Isle of Wight performance! Classic 👏👏
