    In 1974 I went to see Jonny Winter at Madison Square Garden in New York City, 10CC was the bottom band. The next day I bought their sophomore album "Sheet Music". Sheet Music is one of those rare albums where I love every song. As far as I'm concerned their best song is Blackmail which is on "The Original Soundtrack" album.

    1974’s Sheet Music was a breakthrough at the time. Truly unique blend of rock, pop, art, brilliance a dessert island album. Saw them live in ‘78 in the Stewart-Gouldman led period. Studio perfection live long before digital.

    I just found this today and I am very jealous of you experiencing 10cc for the first time. If any '70s band should get back together for one more album, they should because all four members are still alive. I hope you had time to further explore their rich legacy and treat us with a follow up video

    A comment regarding audience reaction: BBC In Concert were recordings made with a studio audience who had signed-up to attend 'a concert by an un-named artiste/band". Because of the BBC's charter as a broadcaster rather than being a commercial promoter, the tickets were free and the audience might not have even heard the band before. Hence the lack of response from some of them! It was also England in 1974 - unlike US audiences, the English are not natural 'whoopers and hollerers' or movers. I hope that puts this performance into some context for you. The advice on Lol Creme's Stratocaster is a Gizmotron: a device that contained rotating wheels for each of the strings (akin to a bow on a stringed instrument) that produced an unlimited constant sustain. You ask about Godley's bass (kick) drum with the front 'skin' removed with a soft cushion filling the void. This produces a much duller 'thud' with no resonance and was often used technique in recording studios.

    10cc were genius. I was 15 when all this was out and it took a hold of me. I have all their albums and never do they sound stale. On the cover of their 1976 album How Dare You, there is a comment 'Very 10cc, Very Wonderful' I love 10cc being used as an adjective, and the word wonderful at the same time.

    Dude, you gotta check out 3 of their albums, Sheet Music, The Original Soundtrack and How Dare You? It wasn't the same when Godley & Creme left, they lost their humor and edge. That's not to say they didn't make great music afterwards but they got soft and lovey-dovey. Like The Moody Blues (not musically) but they had four singers and four songwriters. If you have that, then you got a great band.

    "What is that?" That is the gizmo. It was an invention by Godley (bearded drummer) and Creme ( hair approaching your length) and it allowed the guitar to sound in a multitude of ways. One of the reasons those two left the group was because they wanted to develop it. Paul McCartney actually used it, at least, on one song.
    Your good because you're curious. I will watch your stuff more often. Cheers.

    'O Effendi' is not about a specific time/place/incident - it's more of a generalised collection of terms used by the British in the 50 years after World War II. More specifically, it's about relationships between the UK and Arab states to exploit oil reserves.

    You must listen to more of their albums. The box on the guitar you mentioned is the gismo. I believe Rubber Bullets was banned in the the US. Oh Effendi is their take on what was and still is happening in the Middle East. Countries selling weapons to them and then using it against other countries including the US. Look at Iraq and Iran.
    A very talented group, you mentioned that they sounded like Queen in parts, you will find it should be the other way round.

    John, this is an outstanding performance by 10cc !! Kevin Godley was by far the best singer in this group!! But did you know he did not sing lead vocal on any of their singles or radio songs?? Which does not make any sense. They had 3 number 1 hits: Rubber Bullets (lead vocal Lol Creme), I'm Not In Love (lead vocal Eric Stewart), Dreadlock Holiday (lead vocal Graham Gouldman).

    I had forgotten how good Rubber Bullets was.
    But for cramming an entire Broadway musical into three minutes, you can’t beat The Dean And I, and just over five minutes, I’m Mandy Fly Me. Worth checking out the original recordings.
    As for the name, a reference to the double the average amount of ejaculate, rang true, the band’s later explanation about it being the first on the shelves might be another bit of spin at a time when moral outrage and getting songs banned was a still a thing.
    Great reaction btw, to one of the most underrated pop/rock bands of all time.

      (regarding the final comment about Northern Ireland, I think the point is that everyone in Britain knew what rubber bullets were because they were using them on the civilian population there at that time, in the streets, in what we were and still are being told is a 'United' Kingdom, that probably explains some of the song's success, it had many levels...but then they stopped using rubber bullets because if you fire them as bullets it doesn't matter that they're rubber, they still kill.)

    I think Oh Effendi is about what happens when you put oil, money and guns together in the desert, as was the case in the middle east, particularly after World War 2. Some people got very rich acting as middle-men for discreet negotiations and covert arms shipments. Rubber bullets were widely used by the security services in Northern Ireland during the "Troubles" in the 1970's, as a less lethal alternative to live ammunition, which explains the sensitivity around the subject.

    Thanks for posting this. These mini concerts 'at the BBC', took place in a mini theatre at the BBC where I'm led to believe that 3 or more concerts took place one after the other for TV, so much of the audience may not necessarily have been there to see 10cc which may explain their 'reserved' attitude as they may not be familiar with their music.
    I seen 10cc, 6 times between 1973 and '78 at Glasgow Apollo and never experienced an audience like this one, the place was absolutely bouncing from the start.
    The versions of 'Old Wild Men' and 'Fresh Air for my Mama' in this concert are very disappointing, the worst I've heard because of the over use of their 'gizmo', it just doesn't do these great songs any justice I'm sorry to say. I've never heard them played this way, check out other versions and you'll hear the difference.
    What attracted me to 10cc was their extremely clever and humorous lyrics, which appear in the majority of their songs and the quality of their music and playing, so very tight.
    If you listen to their music, please check out the lyrics👍👍

    Congrats, you just discovered 10cc! This is, in my opinion, their best era. They were only 2 albums in at this point… more great stuff to come. At the end of the road, they split. If you follow the subsequent incarnations, you’ll find very good material and many more surprises. Your next listening experience might be Godley & Crème’s “L” album. It’s less pop and more weird and experimental. Then 10cc mk 2 was more pop, more melodic and peaks and valleys. Too much to get into. Needless to say, they were fun and tongue-in-cheek but missing the edge of Godley and Crème’s lyrics . Godley and Goldman respectively remain engaged with projects , with Gouldman being the most productive and playing live a lot (Under the banner of 10cc with his very capable band).. Godley has several interviews here on UA-cam. He’s a good man to hear talking about art in general.
