It is now December 7, 2019. 10:50 pm. Location: Ningbo, China. Prediction: I am the only person in this country of 1.3 billion currently listening to this totally badass song from one of the most underrated bands ever.
Burke Shelley is from Cardiff I used to sit next to his sister in school. I always fancied her but she never gave me a second glance can't say I blame her though lol. I had every album they made and saw them a few times.
Alan Sweeney absolutely ... also Western Australian and this band were my band in the 70s. Just awesome ... great to hear this song again after all these years
My favorite band next to led zeppelin.i discovered budgie by accident one day in a record store.they had a cool looking album cover so i tried them.now in hooked
The competition was fierce back then. So many great bands, and as much as Budgie were good, they didn;t have the dark satanic edge of Sabbath, the sheer power of Purple, or the often folky, progressive mystique of Zep. They were just a heavy blues rock band. They didn't have the USP's of the of the major acts. Even Burke Shelly, whose voice I love, had a far more talented Canadian doppelganger in Geddy Lee. I suspect there were dozens of hard rock blues bands back then, who popped up every now and then on the Whistle Test, sounded great but were never heard of again. Budgie were at the very top of that third division, and at least enjoyed some album chart success, and the accolade of being a major influence on the NWOBHM. A bit like Diamond Head, later on.
Never heard a bad version of this song. Not by anyone. But, this has to be one of the best, along with AC/DC's cover in 1975 (with Bon Scott in pigtails).
Don't get me wrong ACDC are a great band but Budgie's version of baby Please Don't Go is better by far. Of course it's all personal opinion and experience at the end of the day
same here i am a 1960 model as well ! how good has the music been in our lifetimes!! sadly it seems to be getting worse of late what has happened !! seems like they have no imagination or creativity anymore .
I still have my original album in pristine condition- love it. Budgie are up with the best but did not get fame they deserved. Years later also got into Rush, sure it was due to listening to Burke Shelley’s voice.
Yo me crié escuchando Budgie. Una banda q es iconica, referencia obligada de los años 70. Gran influencia para muchas bandas, incluyendo Metallica. Me retrotrae a mi juventud, ahora tengo 66 y ellos tan frescos... Suenan como otrora... Buen¡¡¡¡¡s¡¡¡¡¡mooooo
First recorded by joe williams in 1935, 1953 muddy waters, 1964 them & van morrison(uptempo like this one and thats the bluesrocksound you hear everywhere throughout the 70's which eventually leads to metal.
Had the pleasure of seeing this 3 piece on 07/03/1975 Albert Hall, Nottingham, England (with Cisco) These guys put on an excellent show! NO MIMING!!!! NO CRAP!!!! Awesome band . . . . .
First time I heard this I was young enough NOT to know what the song title means. I wondered where could a baby possibly go they cannot even walk? I hardly know better now at age 67 but the music is still the same - raw, unpretentious and uplifting.
This was the first song I ever heard with Budgie, and I remember I thought the singers voice was a bit peculiar, but the more I listened the more I liked it. Now I'm stuck for life.
I found out yesterday that our dear beloved Burke Shelley passed on on the 10th of January. This was the first song I played. His fans never wanted him to go, and to us, he will always be playing a major part in our lives. I saw Budgie at the Saxon Tavern in 1983 - and, not unexpectedly, they were brilliant. I managed to touch them all as they were being applauded. Definitely one of my more memorable moments! Love you Burke Shelley RIP 🙏🕯️ XXXXX
I am so impressed & just downright thrilled to hear from fellow chaps that know the value & pure dynamic talents of the great Babe Ruth & Budgie. Having all of both of these artists recordings. You chaps must check out "Hammer & Thongs" from Budgie & "Tomorrow: the joining of the day" Babe Ruth. Get back to me with a comment & I will gladly respond. Also, give your headsets a workout with "Finch" Album "Beyond Expression" & it truly is just that awesome! Thanx
Totally agree, one of the best covers ever. And of one of the best rock songs ever produced. Most guys know a girl, to whom they said 'Baby please don't go'! This is rock.
Grouse Band... "Breadfan", "In the grip of a Tyre fitters hands" and this song, Budgie's cover of "Baby please don't go" on guitar back in the mid 80's. Really full sound for a 3 peice back and flat out guitar esp. on the song Itgoa Tyre fitters hands." This Album was really hard to find/get even back in the 80's.
I luckily found this on vinyl in a rock/antique shop which had boxes of vinyls and found thi s gem. The bass sound......... 👌🤘🤘 And the bass line is just 👌👌
[Verse 1] Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans You know I love you so, baby, please don't go [Verse 2] Why don't you mind that guard? Why don't you mind that guard? Why don't you mind that guard at the County Farm You had your shackles on, baby, please don't go [Verse 3] Gonna be a doll Gonna be a doll Gonna be a doll to get your way down here To make you walk along, baby, please don't go [Bridge] Don't you go Now don't you go [Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans You know I love you so, baby, please don't go [Verse 2] Why don't you mind that guard? Why don't you mind that guard? Why don't you mind that guard at the County Farm You had your shackles on, baby, please don't go [Other] Now don't you go Don't you go
I think the best is AC/DC with Bon Scott....BUT..This was before that version...Close second....Budgie was awesome...I was 19 then...I am turning on my 19 year old son to them now...
love Budgie. saw them at Bolton colege, with judas priest, in the mid 70s wat a gig that was!!! great band. k.k downing dropped his S.G at the end of the gig.the lights went out too early. enybody remmember???
Tonight the streets are red the lights are blue and blinding, no sign of the good doctor but the siren's wailing winding down into the town... I can almost hear the hounds.
I wonder who else in the world is jamming to this song right now.🤘🏼
Listening to it right now with a pint of Stella and and a whisky. Class! Doesn't get much better.
Me my favorit from them. i'm67 so i now this for a long time .
@@vibesahead Right on :) my older brother who is 61 I am 56 had me rockin to this as a kid,although I prob. thought it was annoying back then,I loved the album covers :) Keep rocking "Old man" Peace Rick

Bestest version of this song

Hehe, very good . March 15 th and listening now
A sad day for all Budgie fans with the passing of Burke Shelley play it loud and often thank you Budgie !
☮️✌️☹️
⚡️♥️🤘🦜
Burke Shelley is from Cardiff I used to sit next to his sister in school. I always fancied her but she never gave me a second glance can't say I blame her though lol. I had every album they made and saw them a few times.
I love it! Fantastic!
R.I.P Burke Shelley. thanks for all the music!!
☮️
Their music has a kind of potato chip quality about it. Betcha can't listen to just one! Long live Burke fuckin Shelley!!!
mushthefirst well said , burke and tony were the original and the best. hot as a dockers.... parents...guts...need i say more?
If your a 70s rocker like me you can't help diggin budgie rock
The bass on this is devastating! KICK ASS!!!!!
Saw Budgie, 1975, with Pete Frampton, as support!. Brilliant. NORM BARLOW. X
Still blasting this like it came out yesterday. Budgie forever ♥
Budgie is like no other people...such fine musicians 😍🎸🎤🎵🎹 they wash my sorrows away everytime I listen to their music!!! 😍
A very unique group
very best definition of Budgie music, washing sorrows! they wash mine too🙃
What a treat to hear this track after so many years.... LOVE IT ....ALWAYS WILL ...BUDGIE RULES 🎵💯🔝😍😍😍
Western Australia here and have always loved this band 🤙
Alan Sweeney absolutely ... also Western Australian and this band were my band in the 70s. Just awesome ... great to hear this song again after all these years
This album was the first gift I gave to my late husband …still have it..still love it
I love budgie! Wish more folks knew about them...
+heavybison better that THEY don't
why not?
Don't start me
Just discovered them on Shreddit's Album of the Week
Thanks to Metallica for introducing me to this band. Who wouldn’t want anyone to listen to budgie?
*Whoaaah* Masterpiece! 😮
This sounds like a victory run!
A hunt for the bad spirits ⚡
yeah........
One of my favourite Budgie tracks. All bands that use fadeouts should be made to listen to this.
I am Cindy from San Antonio, Texas -parents rock n roll forever 👠💋❤️
Pozdrawiamy Cindy fani Budgie z Warszawy Polska
Im Doug in San Antonio rocking to this 8/2/24!❤
We need to share this band with people more. I love how all the instruments are balanced. Usually the bass is drowned out in modern bands.
Burke Shelley said the guitar and bass play off each other and the drums fill the spaces, so you are right about the balance.
Very true
I have got this on vynal mint
whoever mixed this is genius every instrument in your face
You are so correct - pity the poor mixing muddied the sound on their later albums.
I had every one of their albums. This first album is still my favourite. 🎶🙌🤘
This one's the third. The first one was eponymous.
I’m w ya guys. - still blasting Budgie, UFO, STARZ, Molly Hatchet…
- 25 yrs later - WTF where’d life go…?!! 🤷♂️🤷♂️🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥
My favorite band next to led zeppelin.i discovered budgie by accident one day in a record store.they had a cool looking album cover so i tried them.now in hooked
One of the most under rated bands from the day.. Still love listening to them
More than talent. Really Masterpiece. Row & Pure Music. Amazing Bass...
Never understood why these cats weren't huge! So friggin' talented and unique all at once...
Cus they were fronted by a coke bottle glasses wearing high pitched Welshman. That along with the name, it just didn't stick man. It was rough

I saw them twice on the circuit but they never took off? I think that time was too full of pop.
Never heard a bad version of this song. Not by anyone. But, this has to be one of the best, along with AC/DC's cover in 1975 (with Bon Scott in pigtails).
Najlepsza wersja tego klasycznego tematu. Papużka spisała się na medal. Walia górą.
⚡️🤘🦜⚡️
Soooooooounderrated but sooooooooooooooo good! Anybody who knows if they are still playing together? God bless you, Budgie!
They sadly aren't playing together anymore. Burke Shelley on bass and vocals passed away last year
Masterpiece version
Shelley is killing this in heaven. It kicks ass on so many levels as a Sabbaf fan complete respect to this Welsh 3 piece.
Such a cool band.
I love the way these guys are so clearly enjoying playing.
At least once a week i start my morning with some classic Budgie to get my self ready to rock
Underrated band from the 70's great rhythm and vocals
This song is out of this world...................
Loved this track back in the 70's, had the album and saw Budgie play at Hitchin in Hertfordshire. Love this version
Gonna be jamming this all night tonight. RIP Burke Shelley
☮️✌️☹️
Kto tak jeszcze gra chyba nikt to jest piękne gdzie te lata gdzie tak grały kapele świąt muzyki umiera 😢😢😢😢
Easily the greatest version of this song. Ever. Period.
No disrespect to Muddy Waters or JLH, but this version kills kills kills 'em all.
Go listen to the AC/DC version and get back to me.
It's Ok but not that great. Not a huge ACDC fan.
Don't get me wrong ACDC are a great band but Budgie's version of baby Please Don't Go is better by far. Of course it's all personal opinion and experience at the end of the day
The whole solo and dicking around for 2 minutes+ are why this version is the best IMHO, 70s Budgie really did it well...
@@dandel351 exactly what I think, Bon Scott killed it
Loved this since I was a teen ! I`m 63 today and still love it ! Wakes me up when I get too old and boring ! hehe
Me too 😊
same here i am a 1960 model as well ! how good has the music been in our lifetimes!! sadly it seems to be getting worse of late what has happened !! seems like they have no imagination or creativity anymore .
I turned my brother onto this and he's hooked. He just gave me every song from them. I'm 66 and have loved them forever
I still have my original album in pristine condition- love it. Budgie are up with the best but did not get fame they deserved. Years later also got into Rush, sure it was due to listening to Burke Shelley’s voice.
the riffs at 1:37 and again at 4:04 are stuff that legends are made from man
Lesser groups would’ve made a song out of those riffs!
this was unique for Budgie to make a cover but it is genius with strong bass line in foreground, by far the best rock cover of this classic
This guy has amazing voice.
.....he sounds like spongebob...
@@rolandkobelbauer8280 or a midget 😂
Or a proto Geddy Lee!
sounds like a budgie to me 🦜
You guys, appreciate such talent. What a great band , excellent era. X
Yo me crié escuchando Budgie. Una banda q es iconica, referencia obligada de los años 70. Gran influencia para muchas bandas, incluyendo Metallica. Me retrotrae a mi juventud, ahora tengo 66 y ellos tan frescos... Suenan como otrora... Buen¡¡¡¡¡s¡¡¡¡¡mooooo
Saw these guys at the Wagon and Horses in Meir Stoke on Trent.Totally underrated.
Gordy.
Was listening to this when it was released and still revelling in it Nov 2019
Seen them July 5 '78 in WPG when I was 19... I'm still vibrating ( LOL )!!
thank you metallica for show me this
Wonder if Golden Earring was influenced by this track. " Radar Love"
1972...not 1973..
73
It was probably just a 1973 kind-of sound.
First recorded by joe williams in 1935, 1953 muddy waters, 1964 them & van morrison(uptempo like this one and thats the bluesrocksound you hear everywhere throughout the 70's which eventually leads to metal.
Good ear!
Great Budgie cover🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Sunday 1st Sept 2024 somewhere in the South Pacific and listening, VERY LOUD!!
Muddy Waters...Them....Budgie....all brilliant versions!!
Had the pleasure of seeing this 3 piece on 07/03/1975 Albert Hall, Nottingham, England (with Cisco) These guys put on an excellent show! NO MIMING!!!! NO CRAP!!!! Awesome band . . . . .
Did they ever perform at The Golden Diamond Sutton in Ashfield?
Was it the Albert Hall? I thought it was the Nottingham Playhouse next door. I was there too
It was November 1975 at the Playhouse. Brilliant band.
Awesome Them's cover.
First time I heard this I was young enough NOT to know what the song title means. I wondered where could a baby possibly go they cannot even walk? I hardly know better now at age 67 but the music is still the same - raw, unpretentious and uplifting.
Burke Shelly may be retired but his music will live on forever !!!!
This was the first song I ever heard with Budgie, and I remember I thought the singers voice was a bit peculiar, but the more I listened the more I liked it. Now I'm stuck for life.
forgive me ac dc and ted nuget, but this is the best cover og this song.
right! :D
ugh ikr and i love both AC/DC and Ted but unfortunetly budgie's version kicks way more ass
Evan Maynard are you denish? If you are then... Du har så meget ret 👌
every time someone mentions this blues classic or a different version i always try to show them this version of budgie's cause it was the best one
me2👍😎
Cudowna papużka

djsgravely i am so with you, seattle wa. USA 02 -21-20 , play it loud play it proud
Could listen to three hours of this guitar work. Budgie and Babe Ruth ruled the scene long before others caught on.
I bought all Budgie and Babe Ruth albums from an underground store, best music ever by far.
I am so impressed & just downright thrilled to hear from fellow chaps that know the value & pure dynamic talents of the great Babe Ruth & Budgie. Having all of both of these artists recordings. You chaps must check out "Hammer & Thongs" from Budgie & "Tomorrow: the joining of the day" Babe Ruth. Get back to me with a comment & I will gladly respond.

I like how the same licks from Nude Desintegrating Parachutist Women are used here
There was a certain magic about musical happenings in yon Welsh valleeys.
I luckily found this on vinyl in a rock/antique shop which had boxes of vinyls and found thi s gem. The bass sound......... 👌🤘🤘
And the bass line is just 👌👌
Lucky you! What a gem ❤🎉
I like Shelley's wierd screams at the beginning of this. Dude's got such a high pitched voice.
I'm jamming to it right now, I love Budgie
I knew their name, but not the music. This weekend WXPN played something by them & it caught my ear. Now checking them out. Some good rocking!
[Verse 1]
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so, baby, please don't go
[Verse 2]
Why don't you mind that guard?
Why don't you mind that guard?
Why don't you mind that guard at the County Farm
You had your shackles on, baby, please don't go
[Verse 3]
Gonna be a doll
Gonna be a doll
Gonna be a doll to get your way down here
To make you walk along, baby, please don't go
[Bridge]
Don't you go
Now don't you go

Baby, please don't go
