Great to hear praise for Bryan Spring. I saw him play a lot in the mid seventies and thought his name was so apt, sprung and ready to go. The most precise drumming and hypnotic to watch.
I wish I was alive to see Nucleus LIVE in their prime! Ian Carr is a gentleman and a scholar. The whole band was an absolute powerhouse of groove, funk, jazz and soul. Truly one of a kind.
Goodness man, that must have been incredible!! To see multiple genius's on stage together is hard to put into words. That reminds me, my friend, that I went to see Roger Waters first solo tour at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1984, and was stunned to see Eric Clapton on lead guitar, along with sax legend Mel Collins. Simply blew my mind. Take care, and good health to you!!
My hobby for decades. I got gentrified in miami, and dispossessed. Two Miles cassettes have survived, but lost most of my collection. The Zappa I had....
im going to buy a bottle of scotch soon and put it in a box and write on that box "nucleus live 74" and open it when I am 70 or so (or nearing death)...and I will open it and sit and drink it while listening to this. thank you.
This was probably the most cohesive Nucleus lineup and it shows. Very tight rhythms, excellent soloing and the sound quality is of a very high standard. Also great to see an interview with the late great Ian Carr, a true innovator in making jazz more accessible to a wider audience.
I love this group, which I discovered lately, unfortunately. It would have ment the world to me to spot them earlier, great fan of Soft Machine as I am, especiallly the Karl Jenkins era. So, this was the school of them all? Fantastic British jazz, of utmost importance. Beauty...
I LOVE English jazz tradition. If you like too, listen to Led Bib or Machine Mass, Mark Wingfield, Chanan Hanspal, Sarah Tandy, SEED Ensemble, etc. So many good jazz musician in England...
this is some of the best modern groovy jazz that I have ever heard,this edition of nucleus was so good ,I wish there was more of this eras live performances available
Ian carr - trumpet Roger Sutton - fretless bass Ken Shaw - electric guitar Bryan Spring - drums Geoff Castle - keyboard Bob Bertles - alto sax and flute
Wow, just came across this. Was a big fan of Nucleus "back in the day", and saw them several times. But I was surprised on viewing this, to see Bryan Spring at the drumset. Didn't realise he'd played with Nucleus. Makes sense though. He was, and hopefully still is, an incredible drummer. I saw him many times with the Stan Tracey Quartet.
I typed "Ian Carr Interview" into the search bar, and am not disappointed! Very interesting regarding Miles Davis. Could not agree more with his comments about the British music scene- it is mainstream or nothing, to this day.
This is very rare - They would never have shown anything like this in the UK. If you didn't release a single in the UK you would not get on the radio or TV apart from the Whistle Test, late at night. Even huge selling bands like Zeppelin, Floyd and ELP were rarely shown or heard on UK radio, because they didn't release singles. This hasn't changed even to this day.
Agreed. Radio was your best bet. I used to listen to an Alan Freeman programme in 1970/71, and first heard early ELP, Family and the like on the programme. Like an Old grey Whistle Test for late evening radio and R3 also broadcast a little bit of material like this if you hunted out the programmes.
@@dantean What's wrong with that? There was fuck all to hear/see and we all died a slow death.....which helped give birth to punk.More airtime for music wouldn't have hurt at all,but it was a static scene.It was also near impossible to go and see a band in London even if you lived nearby;the trains simply didn't run late enough.Tell that to Americans and they look at you with disbelief'but that's where the big bands were FROM'...
Excelente excentes hace una cámara q los estoy conociendo.y son realmente buenísimos no se como no los conocí antes y yo llevo años escuchando música al del oboe yo lo había escuchado con soft machine gracias por mostrar este video.😮
Terence blanchard's recent E-Collective could learn stuff from this, nearly 5 decades later!! fab - always loves Spring's drumming - outstandingly creative, but so light too! (jd beck should give him a listen too!)
In my opinion Analog is much better sound than digital ,albeit this has been digitized....I reverse it by feeding thru my 1978 Realistic STS 2000 and 5 band EQ to tweek then out the Mach 1 speakers. Very clean sound!
Can anyone tell me the name of the traverso player starting at 7:18? And are there any other tracks, albums or bands in which he has played similar music?

The solo bass part , in the first minutes, is irritating for my ears. Lucky that it gets 'back' to playin solid and groovier. And it becomes so beautiful with the flute!!! The concert get's better, with every beat. Amazing. (When its get to weird,it sounds shitty, for me.) Thanks for sharin. It was for me the first time, i saw another bassist playin a fretless bass, instead of jaco.
@@donegidiodabruzzo Do NOT agree.. And what on earth do you mean by "suffering"..? Mahavishnu is just as good, if not better in many ways..! The 4 early albums at least.. The later albums, and several WR, and RTF is another story..
Everything is too clynical these days. I was still going to watch Paz at the Bulls Head in recent years until just before Geoff passed away. Not many of this generation left now. Barbara Thompson can't play any more. Jim Mullen is still going strong though.
I was there, at this very concert i Molde 1974! And after the concert I bought my very first Nucleus album Labyrinth. Those were the days indeed.
This is some good shit🤓
I live this moment right now
Who was the drummer?.
I am incredibly jealous. This jazz scene is legendary. So many great muscians.
Ma maaaaaaan
Real music still exists when you go back in time
It never stopped existing. It's crazy people still say this with all the avenues there are to find and listen to artists.
remember everyone; it's not enough to simply like something. you also have to reject every single currently existent thing
@@NotCharAznable I agree. Do you know any recent bands that have that jazz-rock-psychodelic sound like Nucleus?
Back in 70's an interview was a conversation. People just talked and they sounded so natural.
Well said.
GOD-DAMN Bryan Spring was good!!
He still is!!
Always loved Bryan Spring, he's always fresh funky and swings like crazy. One of England's finest. Bless him.
Gotta say, I love his sideburns! And the drumming too . . .
Along with Elvin Jones, probably my favourite drummer.
Yeah he's great and played on some great records

Saw nucleus in Southampton in 1979 with allan holdsworth . Gosh how i wish a had a recording of that

@@michaelmuncy3593 Thank you, I'll check this out.
my favorite english jazz band since "Elastic Rock" in 1970. Ian Carr fabulous trumpet player!
Me too
Super-clear period film of British jazz rock. Quite laid back music, but the drummer is superb.
Bryan Spring, still a mega force today. Many thanks for posting this.
Yeah I was talking about little known, genius drummer with my partner the other day. This clip featured.
I LOVE English jazz tradition. If you like too, listen to Led Bib or Machine Mass, Mark Wingfield, Chanan Hanspal, Sarah Tandy, SEED Ensemble, etc. So many good jazz musician in England...
Love Nucleus afte the first time I heard them. This is a nice live set I havent seen before
No doubt best drummers of history came from jazz backgrounds... absolutely no doubt.
Art Blakey, Billy Cobham, Peter Erskine, Omar Hakim. Buddy Rich. Ginger Baker. What an awesome collection of percussion talent eh? Awesome!
British old school !
well Dave Lombardo may have some doubts, Bonzo, Danny Carey or Nick Mason
@Flicky Bips maybe, but they didn`t play jazz and they didn`t "came from jazz backgrounds." which jazz drummers you mean they listened to ?
Cobham's a beast, but Cavalera is a wolverine!
This is honestly the most interesting, fresh, juicy jazzy video I had the pleasure to watch in youtube!
If you are still out there, check out Terminal Passage's section on UA-cam. You will be there for quite some time.
ian was a treasure i played in his band for 3 years
This is indeed very special footage of Nucleus at the height of their powers. Thanks so much for sharing.

Blimey. My brother has just put me onto this.
Me encanta el color de las imágenes entonces, cuando ves como la da en la trompeta y deslumbra todo tan analogico como el sonido tan puro.
Love the guitar/trumpet interplay in 'Roots'.

Simply fantastic

Супер концерт
Great sax and flute playing by Dave Lee travis
The hairy cornflake?
Genial
Einfach geil!
this is amazing
Lloré !!!! :D
te comprendo....
That interview 27 and a half minutes in is good.
Roger Sutton on bass former member in der band of Brian Auger & The Trinity
Boogie...awesome....
Like riding lightning..... !@#$ love it
27:39 damn that mic he’s using has some range. Sounds better than most mics today.
In my opinion Analog is much better sound than digital ,albeit this has been digitized....I reverse it by feeding thru my 1978 Realistic STS 2000 and 5 band EQ to tweek then out the Mach 1 speakers. Very clean sound!
es una falta cuando estas escuchando a nucleus y te meten un anuncio - sociedad de consumo !
I miss Jenkins with the oboe.
Awesome
the first tune is in 17/8? damn...
Get the first 9 and smash the 10, then play straight 7 and repeat uffff!!!!
A lovely piece of film ! thx
De poca, chingón grupo
1974... a Fretless bass before Jaco????? :0
Ralphe Armstrong and Alphonso Johnson played em in 73 i think
Percy Jones of Brand X, jazz-rock group created by Phil Collins of Genesis
Can anyone tell me the name of the traverso player starting at 7:18? And are there any other tracks, albums or bands in which he has played similar music?
Bob Bertles... Aussie Reed player

Nobody thats who...
joyaaa
damn this is good
i think id miss some belt loops too if i was on some funk like that
bob Bertles is great and very underated ,came back to australia in76 and played in Col Nolans band
wow! I find it!
CTM la weá wena!!!!!
The first track sounds similar to Spirits "Its All The Same".
Nucleus was even better, than the top-selling jazz-rock giants: Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Return To Forever, Chicago.
Underrated band. IMHO.
yes ! I can still listen NUcleus.....Mahavihnu, WR,RTF for me it's impossible...I suffer too much
@@donegidiodabruzzo Do NOT agree.. And what on earth do you mean by "suffering"..? Mahavishnu is just as good, if not better in many ways..! The 4 early albums at least.. The later albums, and several WR, and RTF is another story..

@@Chryslerdude mahavishnu mk 2 rules. Rtf musicmagic is pretty good too. Check out the last track
@@bennievargas2673 - Thnx, will do.. I seem to remember something good, at the end.. ;-)
This is insane. bring me back to the seventies please… sick of it all nowadays !
You bet!!! XXI century SUCKS (especially 2020/21)
Everything is too clynical these days. I was still going to watch Paz at the Bulls Head in recent years until just before Geoff passed away. Not many of this generation left now. Barbara Thompson can't play any more. Jim Mullen is still going strong though.

Geoff with the top off of the Rhodes to get as much volume as possible out of it!

Roger Sutton.
Thanks
and notice he's playing a rare at the time early fretless bass before jaco
