the 70's was a decade of the movies,close encounters,jaws,airport,etc,and comedies,such as oh god,bad news bears,etc.and television shows such as mash,chips,mork and mindy,welcome back kotter,soap,etc.
Jeff Baxter and Jimmy Page are right. The 70s was probably the best decade for music because there was such a variety of genres and so much new experimentation.
I was gonna comment on that same thing he said. We perfected in the 70's, what they started in the 60's. Sidenote, I was at that Frampton Concert. I lived in Torrance, ca at the time. I remember because there was no asigned seating in the field itself. on the day of the concert, they had us behind a barrier on the outskirts of the parking lot, and when they let us go, we all ran so we could get as close to the stage as possible.
@@DukesMusic84 True story. I was a long distance runner in high school. Grad in 74. When we were allowed to go, everyone started sprinting, but I knew better. I paced myself. I began passing everyone, and was in the very front as I approached a barrier. I had my tix in my pocket in my shirt, and I was holding them down with my hand. at one point there was another barrier, and I took my hand off my shirt pocket to hurdle it, and after I hurdled it, I reached back up to hold onto my tix and crap, they were gone. I turned around and a massive wall of people were coming at me. I thought, shitt, I will never find my tix. My heart turned to lead. Just then a guy was running towards me and waving my ticket in the air and he handed them to me and we ran in together. If not for that stoppage, I would have been all the way up front, but as it were, that guy and I were about where they show that girl with the blue top on somebodys shoulders.
I like all these guys, but I still like disco, or without the label R&B I can admit because I’m a grown up now and don’t give a crap what any of the self described “cool kids” think....LOl...
I still have this entire series on video can you believe? don't know if still in good conditon but wow great series and helped make my diverse soundtracks to my life
Same here!!! I got the DVD’s around 2004...probably haven’t watched them since then but used to watch these obsessively. I have all the parts memorized I realize now that I’m watching it again. And agree this series played a major role in my musical exploration and discovery
@@cosmosaic8117 yeah very good series if you love all kinds of music from any period of time and are a history buff and lover of these kinds of informative documentaries and like you I must've watched these series more then once and especially liked the one about the british invasion,bob dylan, the late 60s and the 70s which imagine if you love diverse music and lived in the 70s it must've been amazing hehe! although now I'm more open minded to disco, I listen to house/techno/EDM music and music with those elements so I'm less hostile towards disco but SOME OF IT is unlistenable/repetative crap lol
@@cosmosaic8117 btw! can translate what George Clinton was talking about when he met Bob Marley and the brown paper bag? I've seen this entire series, this episode being my favorite countless times and still don't understand the story Clinton shared about Bob lol
I played my part in contributing to a culture which left people dying from alcoholism on the streets. At the time, I couldn't give a s**t. 'Few raindrops blame themselves for the flood.' Anon.
I still have my great collection of 70's 45's to this day.Each week i got a $2.00 allowance and would head straight to the hardware store and buy the #1 45 of the week.It was $0.98 Canadian with,i think, $.06 tax for a total of $1.04 LOL...;) Keep on Rawkin'.!!
Maurice White pretty much nailed what was going on in the 70's,in my opinion. Pete Townshend's 'fall of Rome' reference and thoughts on Zeppelin are just bullshit snobbery and jealousy! How much better could the Who have been if he'd bothered to learn more than 3 fucking chord!?
It’s not jealousy he don’t like them simple. Same as Keith Richards and most other musicians. They weren’t that popular in England coz we thought they were boring. The main problem was Plants wailing vocals I mean how much can you take of that? It’s same for every song 😂! It’s just for stoned brain dead USA kids that thought they worshipped the devil 😂. We had moved on from blues based long solo rock . Led Zeppelin had no roll and contributed to ruining rock n roll for forgetting it’s about partying dancing and having a good time.
I'm convinced the key reason many people wanted to kill disco was existential; rockers were scared Their music would die. Skunk said that point blank. It's funny to me no one tries to destroy rap, hip hop or modern pop junk
they tried but then they were met with a backlash of people tired of rock or guitar music's aggressive campaigns, agressive attitudes to all that wasn't them, and i tihnk its why many rock acts aren't played on radio as much or you bassically have only metal station, only jazz stations, all classic rock stations and what not and even MTV when it actually plays music, MTV2 is for the rockers.
It's funny hearing these musicians talk about music from the point of 95 now in 23 😂😂😂 man they thought the ,70s sucked let me give u the 2010s my friend 😂😂😂😂
Tyler's the only one who disguised himself as a rock and roll star, who also used his wealth and fame to pay his personal physician to end the life of his own live birth son. It's documented
Here I am in the 2020s... Watching a 90s documentary about 70s music :)
At Least You're Learning About Music History. There's Nothing Wrong With That.
Same
same the 80s and the 90s are the great time
The 70s in music was a gift from God (:
Real music from real musicians who paid their dues to achieve success.
the 70's was a decade of the movies,close encounters,jaws,airport,etc,and comedies,such as oh god,bad news bears,etc.and television shows such as mash,chips,mork and mindy,welcome back kotter,soap,etc.
Nice to see Jackson Browne get featured. Dude is vastly underrated.
Absolutely, The Pretender is one of the most underrated albums of all time, one of my all time faves
At least Plant admitted they stole a lot of their material.
Must have taken him a few years to be big enough to do that as Led Zeppelin did it so unashamedly.
Just ask Spirit.
Jeff Baxter and Jimmy Page are right. The 70s was probably the best decade for music because there was such a variety of genres and so much new experimentation.
I will never understand why some people hated disco
Ironically electronica took over the world 😂
All you have to do is get on Wikipedia and look at the albums that were made from 1970 to 1979 and and it is absolutely amazingly beautiful
without disco rap wouldnt exist
Sly & The Family Stone broke down racial barriers... Sly was a genius write and composer.
What David Lee Roth said at 2:20 is something very, VERY important. When it came to drugs in the 70s, no one gave an actual fuck.

Jackson Browne is a songwriters songwriter.
The great thing in the 1970,s is the 8track tape in Quad chrome
Thanks so much man!
ABBA is the greatest band of all time
Led Zeppelin forever !!!

Glad to have grown up in the SEVEN TYES.
Are y’all gonna ignore that Stevie wonder invented stage diving
Thought it was Iggy Pop.
Stop to be funny.Ok ??? Europians made "diving" in 1800's when they put something from Shakespare...

@@MrThedonhead You seriously don't know a damn thing about music. We are all much dumber for having read what you wrote.
Bowie's segment got trimmed.
@@MoreMusicShows I used to watch these basically every other day because I had very little to watch, so I remember all the scenes.
Time to chop up some drum machines.
33:13 I probably know the song from the Kiss action figures commercial better than any actual Kiss song.

Eno doesn't seem to have respect for prog that's a shame because i found Yes better than Roxy Music and Bowie.
greatest rock generation, no doubt about that. Too bad they didn't said a word about punk...
that's in the next episode devoted to punk
To much Quincy Jones I mean what does he know about music? Wasn’t he Micheal Jackson’s producer FGS think that says it all
He also said the Beatles weren't that good, so yeah, like you said, he doesn't know shit.
very interesting
