😮Their best music video ever…❤
So much love for this band!
I loved The Incredible String Band!
Julie Felix was lovely. Saw her at Isle of Wight in '69; still remember her show-stopping version of Wandering Aengus. She will always be remembered.
Wonderful musician. Gorgeous Lady.
Special times ...special band.... special people...#iwasayoungmanbackinthe1960s ... sad news today though...RIP Julie Felix...
Il periodo PSICHEDELICO della INCREDIBLE STRING BAND!!!!!!!!! FOLK rock già a livelli INCREDIBILI!!!!!!!!
lo painting box has taken over my mind, this is such a great tv segment
Absolutely terrific!!!! One of the most unique and talented (and mystical) musical efforts ever! Thanks for posting this gem.
Hi..im really glad you enjoyed this... I'm a massive fan my self..i knew that there were folks out there in you tube land who would dig some rare ISB footage
Their fantastic white bird kept me singing even i nepals himslaya,love them dearly.
I grew up listening to their music, so brilliant not like the rubbish today
there is no "today" there is only your sad life where you stopped paying attention to the world and decided to embrace your youth as the only time when things happened
Så sant hälsningar från Sweden
I saw them at Woodstock, and again in Montreal in a medium size, more theatrical venue - both great - but super to see them at close quarters like this - and with great sound, in sync!
Very good, thank you. I missed them back then when I was twenty or so, but now I know why my musician friends, Lyle and Fred, idolized them. No one could do what they did, no one then or now. It was a curious blend of personalities, music, and the times...
Thank you so much for posting this. I remember watching the Julie Felix show as a little girl. So many avant garde bands played on Light Entertainment shows then. The music that I was exposed to!! God it was an exciting time. Stays with me still.

Just saw Julie Felix about two hours ago - bloody briliant1
Absolutely wonderful. So sad to hear about Julie Felix she was so talented
Julie is gorgeous....its not all about bits showing,bleach and caked in make up....a beautiful addition to a amazing song
"The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion" I loved that album and still play it often. - Sad to say farewell to Julie Felix
Glad you enjoyed this thanks for dropping by..Yes Julie is a sad loss to the music world..a beautiful and talented Woman who will be missed
That album was recorded before I was born, and is one of my favourite albums ever
I've just being collating this playlist of string band live recordings, including this track obviously. Thanks for uploading ua-cam.com/play/PLkwlbPG7AZ-R8XfQXATE-Pe_vWCXSsqDf.html

Saw them at the Troub in that year of magic. Oh yes!!
Oh man......."it's the half remarkable question..what is it that we are part of and what is it that we are?" And 'Painting Box'! Oh dear oh my oh man.
Two of my fave ISB tracks. Thanks so much for posting.
The new Genesis P-Orridge auto biography sent me here. His guitar has a percussive quality. Quite interesting and unique. Very very cool band. Sucker 4 a citar
Somehow one can't picture Genesis listening to ISB.
Thought I heard a Sitar. Reminds me of Robbie and George jamming together.
I loved them so much back then ❤️
RIP Julie
She was great to invite them on.
History so lovely 🤗
Wow, so beautiful. It's good that you're on You Tube here. Greetings from Bavaria, Alex
HI Alex..sorry I didn't see your comment because you tube spammed it..im glad you like the ISB..they are one of my favourite bands..thanks for dropping by and watching
Thank you! Showcasing the ISB at perhaps the height of their magical powers.
This song is great :)
beatiful strings
The mind boggles. Gobsmacked
Underbara artister hälsningar från Sweden
splendid as usual!
Thanks for this! Two of my favourite ISB songs.
Really glad you enjoyed it Jed..thanks for dropping by

I wonder if Robin still has that guitar with the drawing on it. ✌
'What is it that we are part of?' Indeed. Thanks again. No I've not seen this film. Just about became concious of mainstream rock/pop in '67 - but it always struck me that generally speaking, musicians had far more catholic tastes back then.
I thought you might enjoy this especially as liked the Bert & John
@@Adibarum I did indeed. Thanks again.
O most excellent! Thanks for posting!
I really glad you liked it thanks for dropping by
Wonderful brings back loads of memories
HI Rhodri
Really great to know that ISB fans are still watching this video..im really glad you enjoyed it..and thanks for commenting
You're very welcome. I'm writing my "memoirs" of the 67-71 era, so it's great to re-live some of the best moments of that brilliant era
3rd Feb 1968
Thanks for the wonderful document. I don't recall the first track being included on any of their LPs from that time--was it released as a single?
It’s on Wee Tam and the big huge. It’s called the half remarkable question
she was also on the David Frost show- The Frost Report I was sure that they would 'get together' sometime....wonder if they ever did???
NO idea about this one Paul
that was fantastic my friend!! classic!! th-up!!
Thanks Gary..glad you enjoyed it My Friend
I don't usually upload other peoples work as you know but occasionally there is some Music i really want people on you tube to hear
Fantastic.
Tremendous
Thanks a lot! That is wonderful material (and as you say, way better quality than the other version). You don't happen to have the rest of that particular show, too?
Not the String Bands, we’re used to in Philadelphia.
Perhaps they are not Incredible .
Very NIce Done
R.I.P.
Adorable!

heard about this band today; they broke up shortly after appearing at Woodstock music festival when they wouldn't appear on the rainy night; then the next night appeared between CCR and another 'hip' group and their brand was destined for failure; it was said that they never appeared in any filmograghy of the Woodstock music festival
HI Paul..im glad you enjoyed my video..thanks for watching..most of the facts you state are correct about Woodstock... however they didn't break up until around 1975 their last album was recorded in 74 was called "Hard Rope and Silken Twine" as far as British folk groups go they had quite an illustrious career and did gain quite a degree of fame..however had they decided to actually perform at Woodstock they may have made it bigger in the USA than they did..Robin Williamson was very concerned that he might be electrocuted and die so refused to perform in the rain..quite a normal reaction I would say to water and electricity however they did go on later on in a less prestigious time of the day
some sound test footage of the ISB at woodstock has been found and I think (unless it has been taken down) is still on you tube

@@Adibarum Big in the UK, they were the soundtrack to my growing up. People like our famous comedian Billy Connolly adored them ... and many other famous people. However, they do divide people, some can't stand them and others adore them! Robin continued to be a storyteller and musician, I saw him about a year ago. He played a lot of harp in later years and could truly be considered a Celtic Bard, telling stories and histories of these lands. So glad you appreciate them!
HI Lisa
you are quite right about Robin I myself have seen him recently and he plays the harp or guitar playing his Celtic ballads and weaving his magic..always a pleasure to see Robin..like you... they were my soundtrack from a very young age..I've always been a big fan as far back as I can remember
If your definition of "failure" is to be one of Robert Plant's, Jimmy Page's, Paul McCartney's - and Billy Connolly's - favourite bands, have LP's in the Charts, sell out many gigs in the 60's and early 70's (I was there at a few!), and to be still loved and enjoyed by 10's of 1000's of fans worldwide....... I would love to be that kind of "failure"!!
Some of their lyrics are quite deep (some are just nonsensical fun!), and they never cared to sing or play perfectly (that's often so in folk music) - but they did it with a love and warmth that was second to none. They are maybe just not easy to get into until you've listened several times, and "got" it.
I can't speak for everyone, but ISB takes me on a magic carpet ride of very profound depths of feeling as well as delightful little ditties that make me smile and laugh. Very full throated and courageous, they were the cutting edge of psychedelic self-exploration for many years along with many of their compatriots and supergroups of that era. They knew of each other and influenced each other in many ways. And yes, their Woodstock show did not catch fire, but if one was not familiar with them and their music, it would be a bit of a leap to realize how good they were. Same thing happened to a lot of other excellent musicians. Fame is a fickle thing, but excellence and spirit were always present in their playing. No one can describe the indescribable, but they did a fine a job as anyone of their very special era.
awesome !
Thanks for having a listen Dave..glad you enjoyed it
amazing
really glad you enjoyed it ..thanks for dropping by and commenting
thank to you.The ISBs are the best band ever. They should fill Scotland's robin and mike statues
I couldn't agree More Mike and Robin are Folk Legends
Rip Julie Feelix, Pero en esta canción prefiero un millón de veces a mi LICORICE MCKECHNIE
Julie Felix - I only know the name and that for at least 30 years but I think I never heard her music - same with the incredible stringband. I always thought they were americans - I have check out the www.. Does she play an OVATION? That is interesting for 1968. I thought at that point it was only a prototype for JOSH WHITE.

HI Framat
It looks like from looking at the headstock that Julie is playing an Ovation,but she was a very famous American musician so may have been given a prototype model..i really don't know and the video picture is not clear enough to be completely sure, she had her own show on British TV at this time
*****
She is 77 years old now and still an active musician!!!
@@Adibarum Before that, she hitchhiked to the Greek island of Hydra, where she met Leonard Cohen and invited him to the UK to appear on her show. It was probably his first public performance in the UK.
Julie Felix was the first woman of the burgeoning folk scene in Britain.
Joan Baez ? She was doing concerts in 1958...

In Britain?
@@YorkyOne You got me
Don't forget Sandy Denny, Jacqui McShee, Maddy Prior
They seem to have had unusually white teeth for Scotsmen of this era. There must have been a militant wing of the Tufty Club in Auld Reekie!
These guys invented psychedelic folk music , with Dylan and Donovan assisting .
They don't make bands like that anymore... take it from me.

I’m afraid the beardy weirdy singer ruined it for me.
HOW DARE YOU😢
Incredible Shit Band- This band was so overrated... Always sound like a Monthy Python parody to me.
Sounds like you need to find a door behind your mind...
Like mateys Robin Hood little outfit
Full dark hippy bush
Is it me or does everyone try to see up her skirt
