THUNDERCLAP NEWMAN - Something in the air 1969

- Опубліковано 2 лис 2011
- Thunderclap Newman was an English rock band that Pete Townshend of the Who and Kit Lambert formed in 1969 in a bid to showcase the talents of John "Speedy" Keen, Jimmy McCulloch, and Andy "Thunderclap" Newman.
Their single, "Something in the Air", a 1969 UK number one hit, remains in demand for television commercials, film soundtracks and compilations. The band released a critically acclaimed rock album, Hollywood Dream, and three other singles (which appeared on the album), "Accidents", "The Reason" and "Wild Country".
From 1969 until 1971, the nucleus of the band consisted of the songwriter John "Speedy" Keen (vocals, drums, guitar), Andy "Thunderclap" Newman (piano) and Jimmy McCulloch (guitar). Pete Townshend (using the alias "Bijou Drains") played bass guitar on their album and singles, all of which he had recorded and produced at the IBC Studio and his Twickenham home studio. The band augmented its personnel during its tours: in 1969 with James "Jim" Pitman-Avery (bass guitar) and Jack McCulloch (drums); and in 1971 with Ronnie Peel (bass guitar) and Roger Felice (drums). The band folded in April 1971 but was resurrected by Andy Newman with a new group in 2010.
The most current Thunderclap Newman group was formed in February 2010 at the instigation of music business manager Ian Grant. The lineup of the band was Andy Newman, Mark Brzezicki, Nick Johnson, Josh Townshend and Tony Stubbings. They recorded and released an album in 2010 titled Beyond Hollywood.

This song just really embodies the 60s. Just a laid back and feel good kind of tune. Man,makes you feel like rolling one up and chilling out for another listening. Sonofabitch those days were the best,this crap today........don't even get me started!!
❤
I'm 65 , in the UK and tokin on a lovely double.
Peace ❤
✌🏻🌱👍🏻❤
Born in 1954, glad that I was 70s the best decade ever 🎉
❤
Geht mir genauso 😮
Those were the days my friends we thought they never end.I don't like being in my 60,s but i wouldn't trade growing up in the 60,s and 70,s for anything
I am 70 years old, and I'm glad I lived that period....!!!!!
@@namyarasree I,m 75 and I,m still living that period. xx
@@Elliemac100 And you're quite right.! I hope you never change. I remain the same too. It's a special period we keep deep in our hearts....!!!
Fuck off...you fucktards didnt do shit for the FUTURE...all you did was smoke dope , bitch and protest...you act like it was a dream..🤣 now your old and bitch about the present.. well maybe if you done something. 🤔 you people had the easiest life to this day. Just say u got lucky.🤭
Mate I so agree best time of my life school girls dreaming
All these "kids' are now of the age of grandparents, great-grandparents or are already gone......sad. It's sad to see my generation slowly slip away.
it is, as a boomer we enjoyed the best music era 60's,
❤
So true I never thought I would get old
❤
A golden age
❤
I would go back in a heartbeat,to have my youth all over again wonderful times in the UK everyone was happy
Geht mir genauso 😮
Blutige Erdbeeren! Der Film war geil mit dem und anderen Songs 👍🌹‼️❤
Nothing but peace and love! And this should you be proud of! -Max Yasgur
fascinating footage...
I so love all these comments i can so relate to you all and for me something in the Air just sums up growing up in those times i so love that record
❤
This was number 1 in the UK the day I was born
what a great song absolutely brilliant glad to be a baby boomer wouldnt have it any other way
same man...
We were beautiful people...!!!!!
Yeah we were. Id like to be beautiful again if even for a day ✌
You sold out in the 80's..........douchebags.
This 🎵 is such great song to hear many times 😂🎉❤ And I keep listening to it again in 2024!!!!
The most amazing time if our lives and this takes me back .Thank you .
❤
Can you imagine a musical gathering of this size going on in this day and age? Every time you hear of a gathering of youth today there will be stabbings, shootings and outright mayhem going on. I don't remember a single gang related situation going on at Woodstock and according to Wikipedia, there were over 460,000 who attended that weekend! We were about "Peace and Love" but today's generation seems to be about self centeredness and taking advantage of others......and to think that these same kids VOTE!! PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!
6 yaers old my mother wantes me come shopping but i want to stay at home to play the radio loud.
So music is my first love. Love 60 th music
Another fantastic song from the greatest music Era!
An iconic relic from the late 60's. I can't get this song out of my head .. a British Invasion masterpiece of 60 rock !!
❤
"Produced" by Pete Townshend if I'm not mistaken.
I had just turned fourteen when this song hit the USA charts. What an amazing song. It doesn't get enough airplay. Thanks for this video.
I placed a comment on another site for this piece, as follows: "As a child of the sixties, this was an anthem." It was some world then . . .
Yes, Clamchucker - it was some world then . . . filled with HOPE that human beings could learn to live together in Freedom, Brotherhood & PEACE (corny as it sounds, it would be soooo nice to get back to those goals, would it not?) Our children, now grown, carry the message. Wishing you, and yours, Health, Joy & PEACE.
+Clamchucker and Martha Mack Yes we did have quite the world didn't we! The world seemed to be getting the idea back then didn't it? We celebrated our brothers and sisters that were different. Who cared how you dressed, wore your hair, or anything else for that matter, we had a cause. We wanted to end a war, give everyone a helping hand to a better life, end discrimination and hate. I for one still believe that and invite everyone to join up again, it still isn't to late. I believe it's too late when you stop breathing and your life force is gone. Peace to you and yours brothers and sisters.
Takes me back to my first love who moved far away and we never reunited. I want this played at my funeral along time in the future.
Takes me back to my first love also Walter. Great time to be a fifteen yr old.brilliant tune. I also want it played at my funeral . Great time to be a teenager.
Jimmy McCulloc, Wav one of the best Guitar player ever. Dead to young.
His lead on Hollywood is one of the best I’ve ever heard!

🎵We have got to get it together now.
❤🙏🏻✌🏻
❤
this was also my anthem I was 18
My generation badly needs to hear this these days! Some how they have gotten off track ✌
Yeah Idk what happened but my generation, the peace love generation seems to have forgotten the good things of our youth. Not all of us but too many. We should be better examples for our kids, grandkids
@@lastnamefirst4035 I can't speak for all of my generation but know I appreciate the hell out of the things your generation has done and the type of people you guys are. We might have gone off track from where y'all left off quite a bit but we gon find our way in time just like y'all did
@@anthonyisca2074 thats good to hear (an old hippie chick 😊)
Love it
❤
Ended up here because of "Bridge and Tunnel," and the flashback it gave me...
Wowzer, what a song during this time we have in Germany the f@cking Schl@ger. I was playing in the band producing cover versions of all the good music from GB and USA...best time of my life
OK, during this big fling at Woodstock, I was on my way, but I got side tracked to the Mount Holley NJ Jail. 1st time, I was about 14 or 15, who cares, we got updates on the jail radio, I had a good time, we laughed for 3 days. (True confession) BB Bristol Pa.
❤
I play the guitar i love that E chord it sounds absolutely amazing man
....one of the most beautiful pieces of archived footage from Woodstock...from Richie Havens, Crazy Joe, Hendrix, Joan Baez, Grace Slick, Santana, Joe Cocker.... footage after they were finished playing is rare. I've had my days relaxin' after the show. Appreciate the nostalgia. 💜
Crazy Joe?
@@lastnamefirst4035 I think he means the band "Country Joe and the Fish"
don't forget jerry garcia from grateful dead
@@lastnamefirst4035 I know exactly what you meant 🙏💜✌
@@USCG.Brennan Joe ain't crazy. I love CJM
This is the song of my childhood so love it
❤
This is a wonderful song. TC-N's original is wonderful. TP and the Heartbreakers' version is wonderful. And TC-N's 2007 updated version is wonderful. I never get tired of listening to all three of them.
THAT piano break.. Bryan Ferry says ''Thank you''
Danke für den Song und..die Idee mit dem Film ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤. Blutige.Erdberen❤❤❤❤❤❤.Toller Film ❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤😂❤Danke

On this day in 1969 {August 2nd} Thunderclap Newman performed "Something In The Air" on the German TV program 'The Beat-Club'...
One month later on September 6th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #37 and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100...
On July 2nd it reached #1 {for 3 weeks} on the United Kingdom's Singles chart...
Tom Petty covered it in 1994; his version peaked at #19 on Billboard's Hot Rock Tracks chart...
Produced by Pete Townshend
Thanks for the reply and the info concerning Pete Townshend, I didn't know he was the producer. Thanks again...@@johnbuie966
My parents would let me join the Navy, but not go to Woodstock.
We had one virtually in our backyard a year later.
Cactus
Steve Miller
Grateful Dead
Jimi Hendrix
Temple Stadium Phila.
May, 1970
SO glad I went!
4 months later I was in the USN.
Jimi was gone.
We all wanted an alternative society but we weren't too articulate as to what exactly it was - making love not war is still a good idea though so that was one idea we should have kept.
❤
@@lindapearcr3138 I sometimes play this with a burst of nostalgia on my guitar - nice chord progression.
That's my grandpa
And that's his grandma over there... Monterey
HOPE EVERYBODY AT WOODSTOCK MADE IT. PEACE EVERYONE🤘
RIP Thunderclap

"Lock up the streets and houses cos there's something in the air" ...Spookily predictable !
Prachtig nummer!
Ik zou de tekst van dit lied weleens willen vertalen naar het Nederlands.
De pianosolo in het midden van dit nummer - en het bijbehorende handgeklap vind ik echt het mooiste gedeelte van dit nummer!
Beam me up!
Don't you kinda feel a little bit sorry for some who might have found this video & even liked it but don't have memory of these images?
Naw ❤
de la pelicula fresas de la amargura en espanol. Cmo olvidar esos tiempos,,,
I've discovered dates, names, events and social trends which link the original American Woodstock festival of 1969 and at least one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The DSS were discovered near the Dead Sea in 1947, after being hidden for 2,000 years. :)
Your bukkake dosis is missing.
Politics aside... This is a great song... Much better than csny for what's it worth
My bad.. Buffalo Springfield song
@@mackpainter7445 yeah but they're very different songs. This song has hope BS FWIW has the feel of unresolved issues up ahead
Aw man I Don't know about that ❤
Hey@@lindapearcr3138
paz - amor
Them gosh darn hippies ain’t been no help to me- Chen Guevara
1:03 I am so farkin wrecked!
To me this song is about a personal revolution! Get up off your @ss and start making something happen! 😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊
The video is from Woodstock. Thunderclap Newman weren't at Woodstock.
All of it? Maybe some from Altamont? where the Stones played and a guy got killed by a bikie?
@@geoffbreen2386 That's all Woodstock footage. Many of the people seen in the footage are the artists and organizers from the festival. Altamont was a one day event, that looked quite different.
Yeah, but you can't deny this song is a 60s anthem and the 60s music scene is embodied in Woodstock imagery.
Depends on what revo their after now.
Thunderclap Trotsky ???
Then we got law and order: Richard Nixoin
:17 Thats Jerry Garcia!
Ole wavy got scared he thought he was gonna get whooped lol 😆
He and his wife and a few people in the bay area do so much wonderful work raising money for blind people to have surgery giving them the gift of sight. Its called the SEVA foundation
Where was this
Sadly, something in the air evaporated very quickly.......
At least the "smelly" hippies really did believe they could make a diffenence. You see, me me me really dosen't help things for anyone.
sa65cn1 And they did make a difference. Could Obama have existed and gay rights be upheld if this generation did no reshape the whole world. This was the pro-democracy generation! Freedom! End dictatorships!
A deodorant salesman would make a killing there...phew!!!
2022 UK political revolution ?
That piano solo in the middle of the song just doesn’t work. I’m sorry. But it doesn’t.
opinions vary. Just like a lot of people hate the "jug" being played with the 13th Floor Elevators,i think it was their signature and was kickass,just like the broken,staggered piano fit in on this song for me,to each his own.
