- Rare Bird were an English progressive rock band, formed in 1969. They had more success in other European countries. They released five studio albums between 1969 and 1974. In the UK, they never charted with an album but charted with one single, the organ-based track "Sympathy", which peaked at number 27. It sold one million copies globally.
The band's initial line-up was as below, although there would be changes by the time they came to work on their third album. The first two members listed were a constant throughout the lifetime of the band.
Steve Gould (b. Stephen Burt Gould, 25 March 1950, Battersea, South London) - lead vocals & bass, rhythm guitar
David Kaffinetti (b. David Franklyn Ewer, 17 April 1946, Folkestone, Kent) - pianos & assorted keyboards
Graham Field (b. Graham Stansfield, 3 May 1940, Beaminster, West Dorset; d. 13 April 2018[2]) - organ & assorted keyboards
Mark Ashton (b. Mark McVey, 23 June 1949, Bridge, Kent) - drums & backing vocals
Rare Bird was one of the FINEST bands to come out of Britain’s Prog Rock movement in the late 60’s-early 70’s…Why they didn’t receive more recognition, I’ll never know…👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Agree. Have you heard RB's "Somebody's Watching"?
@@maxwellfan55 Most definitely! “Somebody’s Watching” by Rare Bird is one of my all-time FAVORITE albums! I used to play it constantly when I worked as a college radio DJ! I STILL listen to that album, too! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💥💥💥💥💥💥
Great clip. German TV once again putting the BBC to shame in keeping such historic performances in their archives.
I don't even speak about France... Shit on radio and TV since the 70
Not only did the European broadcasters hold on to a lot of great recordings from this era, they also (unlike the BBC) allowed the bands to play live rather than miming or singing live over a prerecorded backing track.
this song opens up memories of my dad driving his alfa romeo GT in the autostrada at 200kmh with 3 little kids in the back seat and the Rare Bird cassette playing! Still have the same tape some 48 years later
Bellissimo!!!
and it plays... i have some..
GREAT!!!
Cool.
I was nearly that dad, years and years ago. I thought I had it under control. We all lived. No arrests. I don't drive at all anymore. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Criminally underrated band. Found a 2nd hand copy of their first album way back in 1981 and have loved it since. Never seen this clip before. So awesome.
Steve and Dave, and a girl called Spook, lived in the basement flat at 38 Elm Park Road, Chelsea, when I was sharing the top floor flat.
Nice guys, and very talented. 'As your mind flies by' remains one of my favourite driving albums.
Here it is 2021, and this is the FIRST time I have ever heard this group!!!! Can't believe it, They are so GOOD!!!! I was just out of high school when this first came out, WOW!!!!!!
Highly recommend their first two albums - Rare Bird and As Your Mind Flies By.
RIP Graham Stansfield! What a great organ player. All these guys are fantastic--Steve Gould, Dave Kaffinetti and Mark Ashton.
Tony Banks of Genesis describes the keyboard sound of Genesis and his particular style heavily influenced by Rare Bird in the late 1960s.
A legacy indeed.
Good music for all time tks
Гениальная композиция! И два первых альбома группы тоже гениальны. "Бриллианты" прогрессива!
"I'm on my way
To steal the day
Turning to gold
Warm from the cold
The devil is near
I cannot hear
Your world is cold
Turning to gold
The angel's here
To cast out fear
Glitter of hope
Sever the rope
The devil is near
I cannot hear
Your world is cold
Turning to gold
Beautiful scarlet, someone's really gonna hurt you
The birds are all singing, but noone's gonna sing for you
Time was when, smiling faces all around
Beautiful scarlet, get your feet on the ground
Beautiful scarlet, there is a tear in your eye
The winter went slowly, but summer's gonna pass you by
I used to be happy, just following you around
Beautiful scarlet, get your feet on the ground
I'm on my way
To steal the day
Turning to gold
Warm from the cold
The devil is near
I cannot hear
Your world is cold
Turning to gold"
Awesome! Tragedy day of Darkness our World and lost Soul!! Genius Musicians!
Merci pour les paroles👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This band should have been HUGE. Just bought the new box set. Fab.
Question about the box: is it a new remaster or they just reuse the ones from the stand-alone versions released years ago? Thanks!
@@Stargazer-px7fw Oh I genuinely don't know. Only recently got into Rare Bird, so I couldn't say. The packaging is just copies of the albums, and barely readable, but music is fine. Sorry - can't be any more help.
@@martinmolloy5876 It’s indeed great music. I discovered this band in the late 90s and I’ve been a fan ever since. I was curious about the remastering and the bonus live cd. I’m gonna stick to the stand-alone versions, which I do already have, though. Thanks!
Mark Ashton, the drummer, reminds me Michael Shrieve and his drums break on Santana's "Soul Sacrifice" , that was filmed in Woodstock, 1969
Yes, even down to the tradition jazz stick grip. Rock drummers back then were more jazz influenced. Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Ian Paice, even Bill Ward to a degree.
@@RocknJazzer and we can add Jon Hiseman, he was incredible on Colosseum's "Valentine Suite"
@@vigilenci I was talking more rock drummers, not jazz rock ones who were already in jazz or jazz rock bands, like Hiseman who is great too, one of my faves. Also Robert Wyatt of Soft Machine, and John Marshall of Ian Carr's Nucleus and later period Soft Machine. So many in prog came from at least some jazz background. Carl Palmer, Bruford, etc
@@RocknJazzer I see
Phenomenal band. There was never any justice in the world of music and success or "failure"
редкая группа и редкие птицы! Гениальная группа!
И не менее редкий комментарий на русском языке под подобной музыкой...

one of the most underrated groups of the seventies. Great music
I love Gould's voice 🥵
Had the Rare Bird album with this song and Sympathy as part of the record. Always thought they were great. Singer, I believe, is one of best of the early 70's and has virtually been forgotten. Thank goodness UA-cam is around to document this greatness. Drummer could give Mirch Mitchell a run and keyboardists mixing classical and rock vibes are just super. Outstanding song and performance. Wish I had seen them live back in the day. Great post. Thanks.
I had the honor of being in a band with David Kaffinetti a few years ago, he's also known as Viv Savage in Spinal Tap
The drummer is straight up gas
a friend turned me on to these guys back in 1970, we were in high school and really exploring the music scene then and what a scene it was. so many great bands and concerts.
Incredible band .
Many thanks for posting
The distinctive features of the band's sound were
Steve Gould characteristic dramatic vocals, the absence of a rhythm guitar, and dual keyboards.
Wooow! Amazing song!
This might be the BEST piece of film I've ever encountered on YOU TUBE!!!! WOW GOLLY!!!! Now I feel like I've really seen RARE BIRD live and got that rare chance to peruse their equipage - a fetish of mine. Herein you will see why the incredible sounds of the 60's can never be replicated.
In a word - TECHNOLOGY. This sort of equipment no longer exists not to mention the musical "chops" . . . i.e. the expertise.
real musicians brilliant music
Classic!
badass keyboard solo!
Great band!!!
Rock'and'Roll Yesterday today and always
Great song!!
top notch
Ахереть. Яка вестчь)))😢😢😢❤❤❤😮😮😮
What a ....Musicians!!! Bravo !!!💚💛🧡❤ His voice! Thank You !
@1:55 to @2:07 - Fun fact: That's David Kaff who played Viv the keyboardist for the legendary fictitious Prog Rock and Metal band Spinal Tap
FIRST CLASS !
J'avais une dizaine d'années quand j'ai eu le 33 tours dans les mains. Ca devait être en 1972 ❤❤❤❤❤
How can be a band be so good without having a guitar player?
That’s the schtick of this band. Check out Birth Control, hungarian band Scorpio, and Atilla - young Billy Joel’s rock band
Again, I have to mention Van der Graaf Generator!
@@Twirlip2 or Still Life among others.
Não conhecia essa banda...adorei o tecladista, o baterista, o vocalista....(a música)❤😍❤
There's a thing i love is when the live version of some bands sound diferent that the studio version, but without making the song bad, and this ones a fine example.
I think that the only bands that never failed me on a live version were Blue Oyster Cult, Rare Bird and Pink Floyd.
Wow i just realized ive never really listened to Pink Floyd live, thanks, for me the best life Performances where and are from Tool
Van der Graaf Generator's studio albums give a good impression of what they were like live. (It was definitely that way round, in my opinion, rather than the live performances being a possibly strained attempt to recreate something conceived in a studio.) I saw them live many times, and it was always a thrill.

це неймовірно дуже гарно класика психодел рок

Awesome......
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke fürs Senden ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke
Just discovered them recently. Those first two albums are amazing. Sounds great live.
Bravooo
To bad they existed in the same space and time as the gods of rock (Led Zeppelin), This band deserve much more credit and recognition!
Grupa zatrudnia doskonałych muzyków... podziwiam sekcję rytmiczną i klawiszowca. Perkusista jest piękny...
Я плачу
Steve, where are You???
very very good old band..........................................
TRES Cool
didn't expect to be amazed by the drummer or really anything on this song I never heard
Jewel!!!
great...
Though I have had the l.p disc. since I was 10th grade now I have no more player I am happy to listen to it here.
Viv Savage on keyboards... prior to joining one of England's loudest bands, Spinal Tap!
First time I know about them. Amazing....
They are so fantastisch
Wow... they have a lot of power! 👊🏼
Muito bom, os três primeiros discos são excelentes
Great song, love the band configuration.
Saw this while watching a cover of let the sunshine in and it looks interesting
I think rarebird along with Focus gypsy and Renaissance have to be the most underrated groups around😢 how sad what great musicianship😢
The piano sound at 4:33 is so wonderful
The best song!!
Viv Savage!
What a power!!!!
Wow!!!
What great to find a live thing of rare bird on yt. Great this great band. People listen to Rare Bird. Energy and great compositions
Я слушал их пластинки в начале 70-х годов. Музыка на высоком профессиональном уровне. Может быть на уровне Proсol Harum. Отличная группа второго эшелона арт-рока. I listened to their records in the early '70s. Music at a high professional level. Maybe at the level of Proсol Harum. A great second-tier art rock band.
эшелоны , эшелоны --- то мне страшно, то мне грустно, что я маленький такой 😉
I still have the vinyl
My Mom found this Album in a Starvation Army Store...with shrink wrap...25centz...have dug ever Since..
I have that vinyl it's very much ❤❤
super ficking double fantastic 😲😲😲
🔥
I think that’s Viv Savage on the electric piano… : )
very underrated band. THose days, if you made it with a ballad, the band's carreer was ruined...
Now THAT is Hobbit Rock!
개인적으로는 Symphathy라는 곡보다 이 곡이 더 마음에 듭니다..이 앨범 가지고 있었는데 지금은 어디 있으려나...30여년전에 샀던 LP였는데~치지직거리는 앨피음이 그립다는 생각이 가끔 듭니다.
David Kaffenetti ( Viv Savage / AKA David Kaff from Spinal Tap) on Keys Right side of screen
The band Genesis were jealous of.
They were both on famous charisma label
Never like genesis
@@TheEmmochka I don't know you can hear tracks like the knife being influenced by rare bird
😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍
Zach de la Rocha is a time traveler
But Steve's still kickin, and kickin HARD still...
Sound City amp =)
Wracked up at least a 100 of those views. 😅
You can give me the bird any day and I wouldn't mind😅
great band, great song, not famous enough, even not in those days
It's a semitone up from the studio version.
Почему современные рок музыканты игнорят Муг?Столько красок это в музыку добавляет.
No guitar, two keyboards...
That why it's interesting I thought & I joined in the band.
@@markashtonrarebird1144 Top notch album, top notch musicians. You Went Away was my favorite. Thanks for the music.
@@big_fat_hen Lovely thanks!
It would have been nicer if there was a pint on the organ.
Am I the only one feeling like the "tudududum" riff thing is kinda similar to the one in cross eyed mary from jethro tull
Anybody knows what organ Dave Kaffinetti is playing? Really curious...
Hammond?
