Well, I'm not that far into listening to this playlist, but first guess... they're kinda dull. Or maybe more charitably, the Adult Contemporary charts aren't the most visible.
"Nervous on the Road" saved my life when I was in the US Army back in '72 and was surrounded by the gawd-awful "classic rock" that I hated then and still do! Along with the Flamin' Groovies, Ducks Deluxe, Dr. Feelgood, Artful Dodger, and Big Star, the Brinsley's were my favorite band of the pre-punk era. I'm in heaven every time I watch this! Thanks for posting it! It brings tears of joy to a 72 year old!
Excellent composition and production. Sometimes less is more. Unfortunately this song didn’t receive any airplay that I can remember in America. This one is a hidden gem.
Anyone else hear how similar this is to Graham Parker’s “White Honey”? Guess it makes sense, considering Brinsley and Bob played on that song, and Nick produced it.
@@jonstern7511 I bought Graham's first records entirely on seeing Brinsley and Bob's name on the back and never regretted that for a second! His first two albums are still my favorites!
OGWT November 6 1073, Brinsley Schwarz played two numbers and Surrender To The Rhythm was the other one. It's on UA-cam separately, but I can't find the complete OGWT performance anywhere.
How did this band never make it huge? It's a question that I have asked since 1972. There is hope. And there is an anchor.
Hope ... Anchor ... very good. Anyone else get the reference?
I don't know why they weren't bigger, but I'm kind of glad they weren't as it meant I could see them up close at the Torrington for about 50p!
Problem was there were too many Hope and Anchors amongst the record-buying public.

Can't get enough of Brinsley Schwarz, saw them 1973 Isleworth Poly, Dr Feelgood as support, did'nt get much better
Cool.....wring order...this is horrible and derivative
@@mozdickson do you speak English?
Ian Gomm. My God, I never thought I'd see this again. He did this on his first solo album, "Gomm With The Wind". Very good album.
I love that Ian Gomm album.....
always loved this one
This stuff is out of sight. BS is an outstanding group I hope to see more
footage this group.
Great. Can't get enough of the Brinsleys!
Got this on Ian Gomm's solo album 'Summer Holiday', great rock n roll version on a terrific album.
Just brilliant
Love it. Hopefully it stays up, for whatever reason the BS clips get taken down.
They play/sound like friends.
There is a sense of respect/cooperation rarely
seen.
Great, groovin' tune!
Nicks killin' the bass.
Great band.

Very much so

It's usually the Surrender to the Rhythm OGWT that gets played but I love this one equally

Hey, I didn't know Trey Anastasio was in a band before Phish...
Brinsley Schwartz did a live gig in Utopia, Elsloo (netherlands) on 16.11.1974
Brilliant!
👍👍👍
Nice hair, Nick......
Quality.
The Brinsleys were TOP X
Add horns and this is almost Northern Soul.
Great observation
Nice!
Sounds like the Lovin Spoonful.
Didn't know Derek Trucks was around in the early seventies!
@BEN14680 Well said m8 your so right cowells puppets now this is a real band and it doesnt age does it
Maybe they copped a bit of this for "White Honey" when Schwarz and Andrews were in the Rumour.
While im here does anyone have , don't lose your grip on love they could put up ?
GREAT BAND..FUCKIN X FACTOR KARAOKE TRACK BANDS WRECKIN PUB SCENE NOWADAYS
When some English groups tried to be American. Horrible. Meanwhile down the road The Kinks, Dr Feelgood and many others were doing the buis
Actually Dr Feelgood were friends of BS because they were Brinsley support band for a while
@@charminramirez3675Brinsley and Bob Andrews played saxes on the Feelgoods' "Boney Moronie"
Could Nick Lowe look any dorkier? Thank heavens this band failed and he went on to fame with Dave Edmunds and as a solo artist!
Dumbest comment of them all!
The bassline reminds me of "White Honey" (Graham Parker & the Rumour).
