- Music from THE SHOW - II. Additional performances from the breakout 1970 PBS series for young people. During its 26 weeks it present more rock & folk performers than ever before appeared on a single television series. Featured in this Part II collection is Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes, James Taylor, John Mayall, Bruce Murdock, The Youngbloods, Dion Dimucci, Martha and The Vandellas, Bill Haley & his Comets, Andy Robinson, Mountain and Phil Ochs. THE SHOW was a production of WITF-TV, Hershey, Pennsylvania, produced by Bob Walsh, Linda Revealy and Clark Santee.
The incomparable Leslie West was a mountain of a man with a mountain range of TONE !!!###
I love me some Mountain, Like you said, he was the master of tone,heart ant soul.
perhaps the most surprising thing here is that Ted Nugent was actually once on PBS. Not so sure that'd ever happen again.
Got that far right lol! Long live Ted
One of the hardest things to do IMHO is playing bass and singing, Jesse Colin Young and Felix Pappalardi do it so effortlessly........beautiful
I first heard Theme For An Imaginary Western when I was 12 (1970). It was on the 2nd Woodstock album. I don't know why at 12 I was so moved by it, but I still am, to this day, and can't believe it got practically no airplay for the past 50 years. I was in tears listening to this.
Felix Pappalardi had an incredible, emotive voice. When I discovered Mountain (also at 12, after I heard a local HS band covering one of their songs), it was the Pappalardi sung tunes that I kept coming back to. Since then, I have developed an equal appreciation for Leslie West also. What an incredible band
same here
Especially when you think about Felix being shot to death by his wife.
Mountain's performance of Theme From An Imaginary Western is one of the best versions you will ever hear, between Felix singing and Leslie's playing.
Jesus. Your right. Jesus that was something. Man. I'm all fucked up. Live vocals. Boom.
@@chumbels There they were at their peak, with a nice studio setting, may the 3 of them RIP.
Wow - that was nice
@@chumbels This is a hard song to sing, Felix and Jack Bruce made it look easy, but @53:20 Felix almost runs out of gas and slightly chokes up but manages to recover and finish strongly.
He's got a Chuck Negron feel and range to his voice. Excellent!
Great to see Dion in his folk blues mode and the terrific Bill Haley and his Comets still rockin' in 1970!
Thanks for your comment. When I booked Dion for "The Show" in 1970 I expected his "American Bandstand" persona to show up. I was impressed when he instead sang the blues. A the same time being able to work with Bill Haley & His Comets fulfilled an old 1955 high school fantasy of mine. What is amazing is I caught them the year the original band reunited for a world tour, guitarist Nick Masters and all.

@@santeevideo Fantastic! So great to see these music pioneers in color with great audio. Did they do any other songs?
@@mclark42
When we recorded THE SHOW in 1970 we did 26 programs. Each had a band, a folk singer and our regular singer, Donal Lease. I have been able to salvage most of these taped music performances.
Most of them are good. I wish I could say the same for my directing. I was young and this was my frst crack at doing music on television. In those days it was live-to-tape... no editying. What you shot is what you got! Look at any of my three Lonesome Pine UA-cam collections. You will see I got better.
THE SHOW I and THE SHOW II assemlages I've done for UA-cam are likely the best of the Lot. Maybe among the remaiing songs there is one more program.... maybe.
Clark Santee
@@santeevideo It would be great to see some more songs with Bill Haley & the Comets.
Bill Haley surely puts you in the mood to rock n roll , but I can't believe the crowd not moving a finger.
OMG. Live video/audio of Duster Bennett and Alex Dmochowski, Priceless
And the award for funkiest electric piano EVER goes to: the dude in the youngbloods.
Sitting on the porch watching the sunset, with your favorite beverage listening to James Taylor is the absolute definition of serenity.
That sounds like something my old lady would say
@@dickjohnson1158 Lol, what a Dick....
A troubled time but an absolute Golden Age of music. Bill Haley and Leslie West demonstrated the progression of American rock music. Amazing document of music! Thanks for sharing.
Haley's drummer has got that swing ! He makes you move whether you want to or not
... 'cant believe those kids in the audience just sitting there like lumps 😦
Many impressive performances…really struck with what an excellent guitar player was Dion.
I echo the sentiments that this version of Theme From An Imaginary Western is special. Felix is bringing Jack Bruce's song to full blossom. I hope this gets its own place on UA-cam for fans to enjoy. Great song! Great cover! Great performance!
In January 1970 Jack Bruce opened for Mountain at the Fillmore East and at the late show Jack joined Mountain on keyboards for this song.
Pete Brown wrote the Lyrics to this incredible tune. See the Live version on "Night of the Guitars" (1985)...Leslie slams it out of the park on a Tribute to Felix!
@@ronedee Pete Brown wrote so many incredible lyrics for Cream and Jack Bruce and he recently passed away at age 82 as did Procol Harum's Keith Reid, another exceptional lyricist.

Thank you!
Thank you for posting the time codes
Phil Oaks, love it. Make like a tree and leaf. Duster Bennett is part of John Mayalls' band.
It’s spelled Ochs.
that's how i spelled it
Again marveling I'm able to see this again - just got through Vol 1, now I'm here. There are 2 artists here that were new to me & as a result of this show I bought both of their LPs - The 1st was what is listed as John Mayall, but is actually the Mayall acoustic band backing amazing one-man-band Duster Bennett - Peter Green was a huge fan & his 1st LP, Smiling' Like I'm Happy he is backed by The House Band, which is actually the original Peter Green Fleetwood Mac Mac later covered his song Jumping At Shadows The other one I loved back then was Andy Robinson - still have that LP Patterns Of Reality...
I’d never heard of jam factory but loved the song on episode 1 👍
Probably the last time Uncle Ted would appear on public TV!
thankfully
Thanks so much for these brilliant uploads of such important work! The historical value here is incalculable
The John Mayall clip is awesome! What a great sax player. ❤❤Great energy in the whole band!❤❤❤❤
Who is playing the guitar?
@@Winterstick549 Duster Bennett. His song Jumping at Shadows was recorded by Fleetwood Mac.
@@GreenManalishiUSA
John MacVie was with Mayall at the same time as Clapton.
The Youngbloods were so markedly underrated. I've seen so very little LIVE video/audio of them. So many memories of Youngbloods concerts. Their inclusion makes this whole posting so wonderful. More LIVE Youngbloods anyone?
Do you think they knew they were underrated
how about Yardbirds
I'm trying to understand what you mean by "underrated." There's always someone who posts this comment under songs on UA-cam. The Youngbloods were certainly rated highly as far as I could tell, including by critics, but there was so much great music coming out around the same time that maybe you didn't notice them the way many of us did.
@@PHL76Music I’m thinking The Youngbloods didn’t go around wondering if they were underrated
@@johnurban7333 Agreed! Honestly, I wish I had a dollar for every time I see the "underrated" comment under a video. I think what it really means is "this band is new to me, and I don't know anything about them."
What a Treat to see the Amboy Dukes in it's almost original form/Unfortunately Rusty Day was Fired just before this performance and later went on to form Cactus 🎸 Thank-you for this 🎸
Never seen Ted Nugent footage from the old tooth fang and claw days. Much appreciated 👍🏴🇬🇧
This version of the Amboy Dukes pre dates the one that released Tooth Fang & Claw.
I saw the Youngbloods live several times back in the day. Incredible band. They never played for less 2 1/2 hours. Criminally underrated.
Looking at all this makes you wonder why PBS isn't doing any of that today.
I don't think today's PBS is as adventurous as yesterday's was, at least when it came to programs like "The Show".
Yes, and the first several decades of Austin City Limits.
I think I prefer the Amboy dukes over Ted's solo stuff.
I never was a real fan of him but this early stuff really embodies the period.
I’ve always thought the “double” album Tooth fang and claw / Call of the Wild was his best stuff👍🏴🇬🇧
I am surprised that there is so much great music from truly iconic artists here that I have never seen. What an amazing show.
I'm impressed with Dion here. Great technique. I regret not giving him a listen back in the day. Also Martha Reeves. I'll be surfing her next.
Man, Bill Haley and the comets could really swing !
People realize how terrific Ted Nugent was and how innovative.
Great anti war song by Martha & the Vandellas…I Should Be Proud…so brilliantly performed and emoted! I will be looking further for it on utube and will be sharing with my friends!
Amazing Mountain performance with Jack Bruce!
So sad, No More Songs, by Phil Ochs! He was and will be always remembered by those who appreciated him as a consummate singer/songwriter who told us stories and gave us a radical understanding of our history past and present. Wish he could have stayed with us but his depressions took him down!
sorry, not Jack Bruce
felix pappalardi Bass, vocals. Also produced Fresh Cream and of course, in that context, worked with Jack Bruce and did his song here.@@pepelepewlsu
1970 was an intense time as the Beatles broke up and there were all these brilliant budding artists on the wake of this very experimental era in the late 60's.
Great that these clips exist. The writer of the titles needs to research the correct spellings of the artists' names, though.
wonderful pappalardi, such a talent
My parents would always yell at me when I cranked up Leslie's little Jr. guitar parts. The nastier and grungier the sound, the louder it got!!
Pinch harmonics are born !!
Thank you for uploading these awesome shows. 👍✌️
It's unfortunate to see Phil OCHS' name spelled incorrectly a second time around as the footage of him here too was also on Part One and his name wasn't spelled correctly either. Would love to see the interview with him too that was either before or after the performance. Regardless of the typo of his name done twice, thanks very much for this amazing find!
Weird seeing Ted Nugent on PBS knowing how he was and is today'l.
Ive seen all the "Rock Faces". ... Leslie West at 54:21 introducing us to "The Puppy Dog" .. so cute.
This is Fantastic !!! Trip back in time . The audience is also instructive - this is how most of us looked and reacted at the time . Not going nuts , but subdued , mellow/uptight , a time capsule/sample of the zeitgeist , soon to transition to the youth culture/counterculture everyone is more familiar with .
thank you for putting up the "The Show" material.All historic footage should be considered priceless.Hopefully at some point could you put up some more of the artists that have been left out of these two compilations.thank you very much for this.
Mama Lucia! I be trapped in a flashback!
I was a freshman in high school when The Show used to air on WHBH in Boston.
I saw a few of the shows including the one with Mountain.
But I think I missed the one with James Taylor. He sounds great.
It’s too bad we don’t get to hear some of the discussions on the part of the young people in the audience.
It used to be an integral part of the show.
The last song the Amboy Dukes was called "Migration" which got a lot of Airplay on FM underground radio stations back in 1969. Seek out the longer studio version here on UA-cam!
Great seeing Dion...saw him several times at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village...great rock and roll, blues, folk music...
Right in my top. All shows. Nothing but better to discover the Amboys like this. Except the regret to not have listen them for ever.
Thank you very much for sharing this audiovisual record.
greetings!
Io mi commuovo sempre. Ascolto musica da 51 anni. Ne ho 61. Un altro mondo. Eccellenti filmati. Grazie di cuore
the sixties are still there..lol...wonderful document this.
Amazing thank you for sharing this.
Great to see the great Youngbloods, wonderful Banana, Jesse with a Danelectro bass made my day. Thanks for sharing.
All incredible performances with perfect direction and camera work.
Fantastic footage thank you!
Great stuff, Phil Ochs , what a talent and i love his voice, his death in 1976 was so sad.
Thank you for uploading this.
What is the name of the song by Phil Ochs..? I didn't know her and I loved her..
Wow though Martha is singing to a backing track, the mix is just right and the performance is great… thank you so much! Bill Haley hand the Comets were super tight too… so much scope and variety here… beautiful, baby!
Only hope the younger people get to these performances. At 37:00 Dion is showing another side few know about.
Many thanks for uploading this. Amazing time capsule. I'm a giant Phil Ochs fan and here are so few videos of him performing. I believe this is the only video of him performing "No More Songs" which was was released the same year. As usual, his solo guitar & voice live version here is better than the over-produced version released on record. Also funny/sad that they misspelled his name in the opening credits.
An Ochs by any other name is still an Ochs ❤🌹
Mountain had interesting mountains of Sunn amps.
Great footage! Also amazing to see Bob Walsh in pre-Misterrogers days.
After years on YT, I finally found the good stuff.THANKS!
Wow, this is a good one
There other musicians on The Show that I remember, Zephyr and the Ides of March, Tom Rush and Jamie Brockett. The discussions were interesting and of the times.
Mountain rocked
It's always amazed me how right around this time when some rock bands were getting REALLY heavy (Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple, Amboy Dukes, etc) that virtually nobody was moving whatsoever during these live-for-tv performances. Nary a head bob. Either they didn't know what to make of it or they were told by the director not to move.... maybe both.
Maybe the best live clip I've ever seen of Mountain.
Haley's Comet is very rare than ever on dusty roads where they have gone.
Felix Pappalardi's voice was amazing. He was classically trained and incredibly talented. Sadly, he was shot and killed by his wife when he was in his mid 40s
Yes! I remember my home room Nun always had some interesting comment about the musicians’s hair the day after the show. Where can we see the complete episodes..especially Zephyr’s complete set
Zephyr opened with a very "Across "Across the River." That and "St. James Infirmary" were the only two songs they performed. I have yet yet to include "Across the River" in any of these sets. I am amazed by the many good resposes I have had to Zepher. They probably should have had more off a carrer than they received.
@@santeevideo yeah i know... i bought the album because of cross the river...please upload if possible, in memory of the late Sr Estelle, Cabrini High School, Allen Park Michigan 🤪
I am seeing some real parallels between the Amboy Dukes and early Yes. The guitar player even looks like Steve Howe. I wonder who was studying who?
Hilarious!!
nah. this sorta proggy stuff is nowhere near as sophisticated, polished or ANY where near as good as Yes. Yes study this musical mess? I think not.
for reals. Yes? Study this sloppy, messy, sort of proggy stuff? That's a laugh. The band is good, the intro bits were cool, but he sucks, and the "song" is zzzzzzzzz.. Really boring. All his licks too. Boring. No real chops at all. Nothing. Boring. Howe plays circles around Nugent. Taste and technique wise.@@larryn2682
wait......what???
Felix and Leslie...so good.
All these guys were amazing musicians , underrated, and this show shows us that there is truly talent out there lost in time but shining through its own light
Phil "Ochs"
Bravo Leslie West
Wow, Bruce Murdoc is channeling Roy Orbison. ❤
Super! Tolles Filmmaterial! A+++++
Ted before he lost his marbles; awesome group
Cat scratch fever and sweet baby James.
Young Nuge was amazing!
As great as these clips are , I would LOVE to see the full episodes , if possible . ! Hey man , don't put down your directing !! You did great !! Way better camera work than most early live music videos . Great focus on Nugents jamming !!
Barry,
We conceptualized THE SHOW as an intense, head-to-head confrontation between hip 1960s youth and the artists, personalities and politicians who influenced their lives. It was supposed to result in an intense hour of television. But it never happened. I think we on the production team had spent too much time watching Woodstock!
We did not think we would get much from our local, rural, Hersey, PA kids., so we sent scouts to Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore. But the city kids they brought back were not much better. What we learned was this: Gather together a group of high school kids, take them into a TV studio, turn on the lights, set he mics and point the cameras a them, then ask them to interact and expound with famous people. What you get is overwhelmed “deer in the headlights” teens sitting with their hands in their laps. I think they were more concerned about the teasing they would likely receive back at school from their friends who saw them on television than they were about being “spokesmen for their generation.”
And I “loved” the question the kids were asked: “Do you think the islands Matsu and Quemoy face an inherent threat from Red China.” I think we would have done better by asking them how they felt about pizza being cut from their school lunch program! Now there we would have gotten a reaction!
I remember the man who convinced PBS to fund the show and had promise them a series with knock down, nose-to-nose battles asking, “Can you get these kids to do anything???
Oh well… the music was great.
Clark Santee
As far as my direccting went, I am not letting you see the bad stuff. I just keep tossing the Grand Funk's at you.
Thanks to the astute effort of one of THE SHOW's cameramen who dubed all 26 hours to 1' video tape, the full shows do exist at Hersey's WITF-TV.
@@santeevideo Honestly , I would not worry about how clueless the kids seem to be . Because this is the cinema verite I feel people need to see . For those to whom this is not lived history , they have the wrong idea about "The 60's " . Most were hung up and uptight , despite the urge not to be . That's the legacy of the straight , 50's repressive mindset hanging on . Sadly most were unable to fully escape the mindset that the straight business world and organized religion had impressed on them from day one of their lives .But repression breeds rebellion ! After all , the counterculture didn't happen for no reason . Woodstock and other early rock cinema focuses on the people who were going crazy . Hey , it makes a better movie . But it's also a distortion of reality . One of the most common comments on , say , an early Hendrix video , is about how lifeless the audience is . They also don't get how "mellow and laid back " was a thing back then . Not to go Grampa on them , but young people need to see this , even if they don't get it. That is why I would encourage you to please , PLEASE release the full episodes of this fantastic show !! From a purely selfish point of view , I want to get in the time machine and go back ! Thank you Mr. Santee 😎
@@barryjones9056 Barry.
The one complete program I have is with Peter Seeger and Oscar Brand. Talk about a show were the kids are sitting around wondering “What the *@#& is this! Yes, I should put it on UA-cam.
I too find the crossover between the 50s and 60s of interest. I was born in 1940. I have alway said those of us born between 1937 and 1941 are sort of a mini-generation, with one foot in the Great Depression and the other in the affluence of what followed WW II. On one hand we think it is an indulgence to own more than one jacket and two pairs of shoes, but on the other see nothing wrong with having three cars, a beach house and vacationing in Disney World.
Clark
It is impressive how the audience can hear ‘Shake Rattle and Roll’ and not even tap a toe! 😂
at around 15:30, james taylor starts to sing 'anywhere but heaven' but uses an entire verse that never made it onto the recording.
JT... Wow!
Phil Oaks? You'd think they'd spell the artistes' names correctly.
Yeah... I am getting that all over the place. Unfortunately fixing it requres a completel re-edit. Maybe later on.
Hey, Nuge, Freddy Mercury wants his teeth back
Now there's an audience that knows when to clap.
Leslie West looks like a short Andre the Giant. 🤣
Felix Pappalardi, Phil Ochs, Bill Haley tragic endings....
Bill Haley looked older than he was, he was sick of drugs and heavy drinking and smoking.
Duster Bennett! 🙂
The names of the performers are misspelled in several places.
crazy how the "kids" did not react to one of the greatest songs of all time
Interesting how Phil Ochs’ last name is misspelled in onscreen captions as “Oaks.”
Ted Nugent forever!
Anybody else notice there seems to be a lot of Guild instruments ?
That's Phil Ochs, you know
Bill Haley's face reminds me of Buzz Lightyear.
And of course Johnny Almond. He was so much better than this clip shows. So many countless LIVE John Mayall concerts over the years.
Vandellas
Martha Reeves: What a voice! When you listen to her voice it is obvious how average the "white soul voices" of persons like Amy Winehouse, Adele and many others are.
It's Phil Ochs, not Oaks.
Good old Bill Haley and his Comets playing for a young but boring audience.
Just a bunch of stupid kids who didn't understand that a rock and roll legend was only a few feet away from them.
THE NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE
Last time Nugent was groovy.
are they mad at one another…? pretty loose. .i dig it !
Phil Oaks ? How about Tree Doug Knight ?
