Superb,just takes me right back,I’ll probably get abuse for this but I’m so glad I grew up when we had the best music played by the best bands in the world ✊🏴
Met Deke in Manchester, went to see Man and sneaked behind the Free Trade Hall with my mate to get his autograph. What a nice bloke ( as were the band) BUT he made us work for it. We had to help to load their van. Got a right bollocking when I got home ( school night!) But I had his autograph. 😃
I loved and still love Man I,m a Swansea boy I say boy I,m 72 used to live round the corner from Clive John in Hanover street ,he was always pleasant when Man folded he played in a band called Trembling Knees they were great too saw Man many times locally
Just come back from a week in Zakinthos where I was force-fed Euro Pop from every corner of the hotel. First music I hear on return is this! Takes me back to the Patti Pavilion in Swansea of the early 70s. Ta for the welcome home Men, albeit Bournemouth now not Swansea. Be good to yourselves every day.
I can remember that evening waiting to watch MAN on the box... Just brilliant... Saw them live so many times... Happy Days down the Roundhouse, Camden.
First saw Man when they were touring with Iceberg. Deke and Martin Ace joined them for Spunk Rock. 3 guitars and 2 basses. Epic! Micky and Deke have left us but they will live on forever as giants of rock. RIP..
That was the tour where the support was supposed to be Nektar, but they dropped out and so Deke (who was assembling the Iceberg solo album at the time) put together an impromptu band to fill the void. That was also my first encounter with Man, so when the PA at the Leicester De Montfort Hall announced that Deke Leonard was replacing Nektar, I didn't know what to make of it. A more knowledgeable friend who had dragged me to the gig, promising me that I would love it, was in no doubt that we were in for a treat. "Brilliant!" he said, "We get to see Man supported by Man!" The evening was, as you say, epic.
fab , dear old Deke and co RIP - anyone know if the documentary thy did around th time of Back Into The Future can be found ? Been looking for years but Googling MAN doesn't help !
I can remember seeing some Man Band members in a live performance in Blackwood and before them were these musicians as a warm-up who I suspect were the Manic Street Preachers. You don't realise what you had until it's gone.
First encountered Man in my mates house, headphones on Maximum Darkness playing. Went down the Swanse Top Rank first chance I got to see them, was not dissappointed, love every minute phenomenal.
This clip changed my life when it was broadcast, as an extended trailer, to fill a gap in BBC2's early evening schedule. Around this time, the band also played a number of outstanding BBC Radio One In Concert programmes. Man are one of my favourite bands and the Do You Like it Here Now, Are You Settling In album is hugely underrated - it does not contain a single weak track. While we are on the subject of great Welsh rock bands on the OGWT, Budgie's Who Do You Want for Your Love is one of the best OGWT performances and there are many. Sassafras's Ohio is also here on YT. Thanks for posting, joandrums, I have waited many a year to watch this again!
Richard Williams. Whispering Bob Harris. Annie nightingale etc brought so many great musicians in to people's lives through this show. Real music must be dead or this show would still be on TV. Can't imagine x-factor contestants doing this.
I am a Yank fan of this great band, probably one of the few. Mickey Jones is one of my favorite musicians. And the collaboration with John Chippolina and Man was incredible.
Great band! I saw them twice in the 70s, once at Leeds City Hall on The Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics tour and once at Leeds University where they also had John Cipollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service) as guest guitarist.
Yes Mark it is brilliant. It is the one that has the fold out map of Wales in the gatefold. The map comes out as about 50% more than the double album opened up.
Read Deke's books. He wrote that a singer with an early band of his quit after eating a late night Chinese. He didn't pay his share. That singer? Tom Jones!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for posting this. Almost forty-four years to the day! Do you have the other tracks from this session? I'm sorry, I haven't checked yet; I'm still three sheets to the wind 😛😜😝😇.
Imagine being able to See a Band LikeThis on Yer Telly !!? What Have the Kids Got Today ? In Amerika They Only Have Rap B.S. to choose From ...So Sad .
Here in the US I caught up on MAN when Maximum Darkness came out. I had never heard this version nor seen this video until now 40+ years later. Sure, the version on Maximum Darkness was recorded live, but this was Totally Live. Good sound quality, too.
The great thing about OGWT was exactly the fact that it really was a live performance. Yes, the sessions were recorded in a BBC studio, but under single-take, no backing tapes, no post-performance overdubs conditions. If you wanted to know what a band would sound like at a live gig, an OGWT session was a real 'what you see is what you get' sampler. For some reason the Maximum Darkness album doesn't *quite* capture the experience of Man live - and I write that as someone who saw them and the great 'Chippo' on that MD tour.
Love it! And I'm pretty sure this was the first time I heard Man. Was this the OGWT episode that featured Welsh bands and musicians? I remember watching it as a teenager. I think Budgie were on as well. Thanks for posting this! :-)

Ahhh yes, slumped in the TV room back from a night of drinking (army)1970s, 2330hrs about, bag of chips & that thing the saveloy, chomping away & OGWT with weird bands & weird videos. Hmmm🤔.. John Lennon on drums anybody? We wish. I hate drums electronic, this is drums, powerful here & gives the song the dramatics, hit the cymbals John! Now my eyes are bleary-eyed & this OGWT is weird night
8:46........into "Manillo" ......Shame Man didn't had long to go , trying to go for Uncle Sam. "Rhinos" being their last great album . The idiot yankee grin on Slow Motion didn't bode well .
Superb,just takes me right back,I’ll probably get abuse for this but I’m so glad I grew up when we had the best music played by the best bands in the world ✊🏴
Me too, lived through the 70's and still here today 50 years on !
agrre with every word you said, butt
The two best things to come out of Wales, Man & Budgie. Both deserved much more recognition and exposure.
Weren't we lucky to have bands like this, Stray, Heavy Metal Kids, Budgie, Nutz, Pink Fairies.
Yes!
So true so inventive
Shame there's no footage at all from Stray's classic early 70's (Saturday Morning Pictures) period .
Budgie
I don't like any of those. So I don't.
Met Deke in Manchester, went to see Man and sneaked behind the Free Trade Hall with my mate to get his autograph. What a nice bloke ( as were the band) BUT he made us work for it. We had to help to load their van. Got a right bollocking when I got home ( school night!) But I had his autograph. 😃
Dear God, I loved this band. Make Wales Great Again.
Budgie
Whales are great, - make a solid steak
I loved and still love Man I,m a Swansea boy I say boy I,m 72 used to live round the corner from Clive John in Hanover street ,he was always pleasant when Man folded he played in a band called Trembling Knees they were great too saw Man many times locally
Once a Man fan...
Best Welsh band ever.
Bset band from anywher in my opinion!
don't forget Budgie!
Forgot about badfinger?
Precisely, you couldn't get a fag paper between the Iveys, Smokestacks, Eyes Of Blue, Bystanders and a half dozen or more around Swansea at the time.
By a long way.
Just come back from a week in Zakinthos where I was force-fed Euro Pop from every corner of the hotel. First music I hear on return is this! Takes me back to the Patti Pavilion in Swansea of the early 70s. Ta for the welcome home Men, albeit Bournemouth now not Swansea.

I've been yeah I know what you mean!
I can remember that evening waiting to watch MAN on the box... Just brilliant...
Saw them live so many times... Happy Days down the Roundhouse, Camden.
I saw Man at the Roudhouse a few times, including Greasy Truckers and Maximum Darkness when John Cipollina guested.
Budgie, nuts and stray one Sunday afternoon in the 70’s at the roundhouse, £2.70p 😊😊😊
My one and only time I saw Man was on the John "Chippo" Cippolina tour in 1975 at the Brighton Dome. Supported by A Band Called O. Brilliant night.
Loved Man back in the day ❤
Absolutely brilliant

Great band Terry Williams great drummer they were all better or as good as most musicians of the time I know I was there
Hardly on this performance surely.
fab , dear old Deke and co RIP - anyone know if the documentary thy did around th time of Back Into The Future can be found ? Been looking for years but Googling MAN doesn't help !
Remember seeing them play this song at Buxton pop festival 1973/74.
I love ❤️ the Welsh and I'm Scottish great folk
This is the band I saw the most on stage.
7 times and never disappointing.
I still can smell the pot in the audience.
I can still smell it in my room right now 😂
@@piked261🎉rofl
wakky bakky we call it in scotland
Best Welsh band ever !
I really liked Love Sculpture, too!
Budgie might disagree...
These guys can put so much dynamic variety in a song, while having it sound so natural and effortless...
I can remember seeing some Man Band members in a live performance in Blackwood and before them were these musicians as a warm-up who I suspect were the Manic Street Preachers. You don't realise what you had until it's gone.
Guitars tuned by ear in those day! :) Loved Man! Played Dekes Custom Tele on a few occasions! RIP! x
Already more than 30 years ago, my first tuner was a KORG GT-6, I loaned it to a friend who never gave it to me again ...
tuning by ear is no excuse for being out of tune. Tuning by tuners make guitars sound like crap
Right out of tune.
Just amazing! I remember watching this on the OGWT when I was a teenager.
Same.
Sadly no home video recorders back then.
The BBC block heads need to release all the early 70s OGWT shows (in full) on to DVD,
First encountered Man in my mates house, headphones on Maximum Darkness playing. Went down the Swanse Top Rank first chance I got to see them, was not dissappointed, love every minute phenomenal.
In the BBC basement. Live they were great. The Welsh King Crimson.
I lived thru this its now time to go..I am flying my freak for the last time
Beyond awesome.
Deke with that classic guitar awesome
Remember seeing them at Buxton pop festival about 1973 and can still remember them playing this song.
Doesn't get much better than this
Great main riff in 10/4. :-)

@Rob Davies the band
Brilliant... ⭐Shine On - My Eyes are Burning
Richard Williams. Whispering Bob Harris. Annie nightingale etc brought so many great musicians in to people's lives through this show. Real music must be dead or this show would still be on TV. Can't imagine x-factor contestants doing this.
I had the same (or very similar) jacket as Mickey Jones.
I am a Yank fan of this great band, probably one of the few. Mickey Jones is one of my favorite musicians. And the collaboration with John Chippolina and Man was incredible.
Saw them in edinburgh with john cippolina
Pure class
Do you like it here now .... Yes! :-)
Great band! I saw them twice in the 70s, once at Leeds City Hall on The Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics tour and once at Leeds University where they also had John Cipollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service) as guest guitarist.
I saw both of those brilliant tours, Liverpool and Manchester. Still some of my favourite memories of live music ever!
Was there at Leeds when Cippolina joined on stage
Also at Roundhouse with John Cippolina. Great memories.
nice guitars, love the titel too. MAN it's good
Thank you so much-wonderful stuff this! God bless Terry-last man(no pun intended) standing in this line-up!
Man, they were good! They come from just up the road from me!
{:o:O:}
Seriously underrated band!
I seem to only have the gatefold album in my collection from 1972:
Man Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day 1972
It's all ya need ,along with Steppenwolf's monster two of the finest rock record's ever recorded !
Brilliant album.
Yes Mark it is brilliant. It is the one that has the fold out map of Wales in the gatefold. The map comes out as about 50% more than the double album opened up.
See them in the Eastern region Gaumont Ipswich the 70s 😂
I remember buying Man's Maximum Darkness for £3.50 from Hurley's Record shop Pontypridd.
This is really good!!!!
Micky and Deke look at each other thinking, where the fekk are the vocals in the mix 🤣
Read Deke's books. He wrote that a singer with an early band of his quit after eating a late night Chinese. He didn't pay his share. That singer? Tom Jones!!!!!!!!
Fine version!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for posting this. Almost forty-four years to the day! Do you have the other tracks from this session? I'm sorry, I haven't checked yet; I'm still three sheets to the wind 😛😜😝😇.
of course, "Day and night". Also from another program "Life on the road" and "Ain't their fight". Check my videos:

Love it! And I'm pretty sure this was the first time I heard Man. Was this the OGWT episode that featured Welsh bands and musicians? I remember watching it as a teenager. I think Budgie were on as well. Thanks for posting this! :-)
Here you have the full program:

And the middle section reminds me of Nektar
Nektar... another great band!
The one guy played a Zach wylde Tele and John Lennon played drums. Who new.

Sounds like thin lizzy
More like Grateful Dead meets King Crimson...loved it as a teenager..still love it. 🏴
Wow... never made that connction, but if it makes you feel good.. brilliant.
@@dominicgriffiths8125 brilliant post. From a Deadhead since 74 only now in my dotage do I hear it. Peace. Wobbly and Julie from North Yorkshire.
awful
Tuneless outdated hippiedom.
Hippie's? Surely not. I'm not surprised to read something ignorant from a european bride obsessed Rick Beato fan 😂
Quite possibly the worst, most pointless thing I've ever heard..
You dont see the point.
Bet you love a bit of 'Brotherhood of man' or that other great band ' Middle of the road' ???
@@kevinobrien1259 they made some good, if twee, records.
Wow
makes me so glad i was born welsh
