One of the greatest rock bands in the world that no one ever heard of.
+Dave Ritter No one that is except for some us discerning types eh? :-)
Got ALL original records Seen them dozens of times marquee in 60,s Roger is a one off
I plead guilty also to seeing them live and loving them. Exceptional, creative musicians with front man who is totally one of kind.
They are easily as good as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix Experience or any other famous band from that era
I'm lucky enough to have seen Roger Chapman live twice in 2016 and 2018 and a few of the songs from the concert I filmed and are on my UA-cam channel
i heard and followed throughout, one of the finest [many great bands that time /one of the greats , right up there
First band I ever saw live. At the Bay Hotel Sunderland 1969. Absolutely brilliant and frightening at the same time. Unique and still my favourite band.
A cousin from Scotland visited us in detroit around 1970. I was 14 he was probably 19. He asked me if i had eard of family? I hadnt so he played them for me. It was a great way to kick off my music beginnings. Never forgot that, still have all their albums and Streetwalker also.
2024: Detroit here too, bro! I was 19 when I picked up Anyway from Harmony House, didn't know them at al but as an art student was intrigued by the da Vinci cover art, then became obsessed with their sound. Best part? Roger Chapman released another album as recently as 2021. Life IS good :-)
Here we are in 2022 and I'm really thinking this gets better and better with age. There is literally nothing else that sounds like these guys in 50 years between
I'm so glad that this footage has been preserved. A really talented and unique band - brilliant stuff! Thank you for sharing
His voice is so unique ,even when you heard their music 50 years ago you recognize it immediately.At least I do...
You are right about Roger's voice. It is unique.

The Human Goat.
When I heard a few tracks from Music In A Doll's House on the radio, I was hooked.
For me Family ended with the formation of Streetwalkers. I kept faithful to the magical Family albums.
Roger's voice was in that case made by primitive vocoder, built by magnetic tape delay. Bur the effect was the great one.
On my list of bands that I unfortunately never got to see but knew how brilliant they were, enlightening times 👌
first saw them in 69. my favourite band for ages. truly original. thanks for the memories
I saw Family 3 times at the small Mothers Club, Erdington in c1970 so this brings back memories. The first time they still had the great Jim King on sax and flute. I always got to front. Unforgetable.
Greetings from Erdo 👍
An absolutely incredible band - wonderful in the studio, electrifying live. You have to listen to all the tracks on all their albums to start to understand the breadth of their artistic achievement, which is uniquely theirs
grahamt33 They certainly covered a lot of ground, musically.
I always loved the first line up with Jim King.
What a brilliant band! Absolutely loved them back in the day, but only now do I realise just how good they were. ....stunning
chappo is the best rock voice!!! Family are one of the best rock band ever
In 1970 I was 15 and spent my first wages on Family's LP Anyway, having seen them play Weavers Answer on the telly. I loved it and played it to death. Glastonbury had its first festival that year and it cost £1 to get in. Such an exciting time to be young, innocent as we were.
i heard of them , loved them and even got to see them about 11 years ago, brilliant and vastly underrated!
First heard Chappo the ‘human goat’ at York Uni in 1970. Amazing band, why the hell weren't they more famous? I still have Music in a Dolls House and it’s as fresh as the day it was pressed!
A,1,ooo thanks,my favourite band from the 60'⁹s 🤸🎶🍀🤸🎶
I agree with you - the whole Jim King issue and his departure in 69 was obviously sad because he had issues - that is for sure. But to speculate why he went and how Family would have moved on if he stayed would be ... speculation. Also to say Palmer was "very weak" is just plain wrong. The four albums he played on and no doubt contributed to are excellent and his vibes/keyboard/flute work were an integral sound to Family in this exciting period.
Bloody Marvellous...cheers me up no end
I had the pleasure of seeing this band open for Jethro Tull at the Boston Tea Party back in the Summer of 1970.
Brilliant band ! Top musicians with the most insane vocalist ever .
Nigel Flannigan Reminds me .of Jethro Tull and the more insane Ian Anderson.
Yes. I felt intimidated and I was in a crowd of 100 or more folks. (1973 or so.)
....And the award for the rock vocalist with the most manically insane vibrato in history goes to Chappo
Music in a dolls house my favourite family LP
Wow. Followed family since Isle of Wight when they were on last. Absolutely brilliant and I was hooked. I think Roger was the greatest male vocalist. Still love Family.
+Dustin Nealey yes sure. Followed Family and others. He was magic.
Proof right there, Roger Chapman invented the mike drop
I loved this band. Used to blast their albums. So original and unique. Streetwalkers were also tremendous.
Thanks for uploading this. Followed family and roger since I was 17 I am now 67 and still love there music .brings back so many great memories.
Gostaria de saber a mensagem da música? Em português!
Sean Family at cellar club South Shields Tyne & wear 1971.
They were great.
I remember those Sound City heads, the valves were bigger than KT88's, would be handy in the current UK freeze & austerity; left on for an hour they could warm a whole county!
Leicester's finest,used to catch them regularly when their set consisted mostly of their first album,not easy to replicate live and they did it effortlessly.Heady days!
Coming from leicester saw them many times at the Rondo and the Poly. Still the best!!
What a gem. Saw Family and Streetwalkers 7 times in th 70's. Great to actually see film at last. They really were one of the greatest bands of their generation.
Roger as such a great croaky voice that it compliments rock music , long may they keep performing.
First saw them when I was 17, I'm now 70. They played the Wake arms pub, Epping forest Essex. The week before, saw my first band, Sam Apple pie .
Love Family. My favourite of all time.!
ポリパーマーの歪ませたビブラフォンが、意外と存在感を出しております🎉パトゥやジェントル・ジャイアントでも、演奏しておりますが、ここまで歪ませて無いですね✨
I lived with some of them at 93 Oakley Street in 1969/70, a house commemorated by their instrumental 93's OK J.
A most awesome band.
Fantastic voice
We only wanna break the chain of society
Put the people back on the road to reality
We only wanna turn the whole world on
Lots going on here. Flute playing vibraphonist (Poli Palmer) and violin playing guitarist recruited to play bass (John Weider). Seemingly underrated guitarist John Whitney and the incredibly unique vocals of Roger Chapman. I missed seeing them when they toured the US opening for Elton John.
Had their first 2 albums and saw them twice at Sunderland Locarno.
They were an incredible live band, as good as anybody.
When they were on form nobody could touch them.
Great great band, great Chappo. Thanks for your music.
Thank you, takes me back in time, still love them 💕
eine der besten und innovativsten Bands der 70er - Chappo ohne Family: nur noch eine blasse Rockröhre. Diese Band hatte Power ohne Ende und konnte auch ganz leise eine enorme Kraft ausstrahlen, das verzerrte Vibraphon-Solo in diesem Stück hier ist outstanding. Ich hatte das große Glück die Band mit diesem Programm live erleben zu dürfen.
Band fantastica!!! Chappo straordinariamente meraviglioso!!! 😍
Just fantastic sense of tunes
The advent of GENESIS.
Both Peter and Tony have said in interviews, that Family were an early influence.
That was twenty minutes well spent! Classic
I have recently worked on something in the studio where this series was made. Studio 6 at the old Granada studios in Quay Street Manchester. It has to be said that it is a wonderful room and he atmosphere in there is just electric :)
My first introduction to this band was a movie/video called Psychomania.Never had heard of them at the time, but man did they have something....been into 'em ever since...incredible musicians,and vocals,just absolutely great stuff......
Genial grupo, Roger Chapman, con su peculiar forma de cantar, canciones icónicas, de finales de los 60's, simplemente maravillosa agrupación, THE FAMILY,... Patrimonio cultural de la humanidad!
Great band 👍🏻
Our leicester boys saw them
First 72 at the De mont 👌🎼
Superb memories of this wonderful band! Thank You :)
Been to over 150 Family Streetwalkers and Shortlist gigs I am so lucky😎🆒🎸
Beats my 100.
These Leicester boys should have been as big as Kasabian, the Foxes and the Tigers. Once in a while a truly unique and talented band slips through the net and sadly Family and the Streetwalkers were that band in their era... I first remember hearing Burlesque at the age of 13 which totally blew me away and i have come to appreciate them more and more in recent years. Thanks for putting this footage on YT for all of us to appreciate, wonderful.
They were a big name in the early to mid 70’s, most young people had heard of them 😎
One of my fav bands for sure
Still one of my fave bands... along with Streetwalkers of course... Rog, THE top voice of rock music for me..... all things considered.
Thanks for sharing J B I
Roger and the band like I remember so well in those decades a while ago
Wow this classic, prime! The quintessential line-up. I saw them open for Elton during a Stateside tour for 'Bandstand' and a couple of years later saw Streetwalkers open (?!) for Dr. Feelgood. My copy of the box set 'I'm Walking' Streetwalkers Complete '74-'77 arrived today. Can't wait to crack it open!
I saw them open for Elton twice on that tour. His audience were terrified of them. They were absolutely spectacular. I managed my way backstage somehow, I was possessed. They were incredibly kind and friendly. I had seen them a year of so prior with Savoy Brown and The Nice. They appreciated that I was a big fan.
Five times more powerful and intense heard live
John Weider was great. He stepped into Grech's shoes. And then some.
Sensational band!
I thought I'd watched the whole series at the time, but I don't remember anything of this. I always liked them.
Chapman ... what a PHENOMENON
THIS IS HISTORY
What a voice. Chapman is in trance.
Still brillant!
Superb band
Wow! This exists? Pheeeeeew
John Weider on bass--this is the "Song for Me" and "Anyway" lineup. Very cool to have this.
ROGER CHAPMAN la grande marcia in più di questa straordinaria band !!!! Di base rock blues ma in un contesto sperimentale e d'avanguardia che hanno fatto dei FAMILY una delle bands più originali non solo in ambito progressive rock ,ma della musica contemporanea in generale !!!!!!
No one else ever sounded like CHAPPO .
+Dave James WELL PUT GUMMY ! the kids today just have scraps of garbage to get stuck into , but 40 years ago we feasted on a banquet of diversity that still nourishes today .
+mac man Totally agree, last band I saw in LDN b4 going to Souf Ozzie
toute ma jeunesse ! a vif !
I saw them doing this stuff at The Royal Festival Hall in London. It wound up as part of the Anyway album. These guys could only be English!
...таких больше не будет...к сожалению...
once again....this is why I love UA-cam
.. Superb stuff,...
They are a fantastic band! Thanks to my mate James for re-introducing me to them. Are they still performing? Would love to see them….
I never had a problem with Poli, and he was excellent last week at the reunion gigs.
any recordings to share?
Fantastic! thank you for posting this live show. My first was the Anyway album, after that I was hooked.
Да, было время.. что ни группа, то открытие.. а это просто бриллиант, так и не ограненный (недооцененный) до конца. Одна из моих любимых.. Да и кстати БГ считает их одними из своих главных учителей и вдохновителей.
Thanx a lot! Biggest underrating band.. one of my lovely.. one of the great influencer ever.. for B.Grebenshikov e.g.
My dad’s favorite along with quicksilver messenger and Edgar broughton. , I used to listen on his headphones when I was six before my mum kicked him out for being a pisshead. Missya Dad, you was one cool dude.
Testimony to their music and standing in rock history, 50k plus view is no mean feat in this age of utter, utter 'auto tune' garbage. I'm so thankful for music like this.
Great to seee the 'Sound City' heads, student digs central heating for musicians :)
Hiwatt heads were a bit warm, too!
many many thanks!
I really appreciate you posting this. Thanks.
Great stuff. Once saw the Streetwalkers in Rotterdam... He crushed the theatre with his voice. They had to build a new one.
Musik wie sie sein muss !
thanks for this, they were the best, and chapo is still the best.
Famiy was a great band, thanks to John Whitney's wonderful guitar work and exquisite songwriting (listen to "Processions"...). But Roger Chapman is a real NUISANCE with his permanent vibrato and his antics on stage...
Listen to Music in a Doll's House
Trivia: After this concert Chappo was arrested fro cruelty to tambourines.
DROWNED IN WINE YES!!!!!!!!!
GOAT
I always get visions of a nanny goat when I hear the singer in family " the singing nanny goat"
Exquisite!
Ja so war daß Damals!Ihr jungen Sänger von heute schaut euch das Video genau an.
When Family drummer is a good thing.
Was this ever broadcast on mainstream UK televison? incredible stuff! Thanks for putting this on.
