  • Filmed at Klub Eskulap, Poznan, Poland on 12th April 2007 this was my 113th gig out of 115 with Budgie. Steve and Burke had problems with sound during this show but I had no such problems and enjoyed it immensely. As a result this is the best live performance of Parents I ever did and I'm very glad it was captured on video.

    Still one of my favourite bands Budgie after all these years when I first saw them play in 1974, @Simon Lees does a great job at keeping the original feeling, such a shame they will never play again.

    This is incredible. Masterful guitar, regardless of his name recognition. Tragic that this lineup didn't have several albums and an entire new Budgie era.

      Niezapomniany koncert, to było w Arenie w 1982r. Dużo wówczas się działo, Budgie niosła wolność, której tak pragnęliśmy.

      Hi Peter - glad you liked it! Pedaboard was a Boss GT-8 going into the input of the clean channels of 2x Soundman 100W heads with 2 4x12 Marshall cabs on each. Guitar was a Hofner Colorama with Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups. Soundman is a Polish amp company and the amps were similar to HiWatt.

      @@SimonCLees thank you. I’m surprised that you were using a Boss effects unit - what did you use for distortion/lead boost? Was it all from the Boss?

    • @SimonCLees
      @SimonCLees  6 місяців тому +1

      @peteraindow3462 Yes , I used the GT8 for everything. Reason being I could plug it into any amp and get the same sound. When we toured outside the UK we used rented backline so I needed a way of having that consistency. The Boss GT8 is a great machine as long as you don't use the factory presets!

I also think their ability to manipulate sounds in real time for live use is better than anything out there. I can see me still using them for years to come.

    Budgie must be the most underrated band in history, their biggest problem was the competition from so many great bands in the 70s.

      @SimonCLees  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks Andrez. Burke and Craig did some work on a follow-up. Sadly because Burke had no motivation it didn't get finished. It sounded really good too. Better than Cuckooland to be honest! Thank you for your kind comments - it means a lot.
