This really makes me smile. I love the music anyway and know it of old, but to see this bunch of musicians so brilliantly playing and so much in synch. The skill is breathtaking. Bravo.
You can't imagine how much joy you give me with this video! To experience this music again so clearly and distinctly after more than forty years is something very special for me. Great, great cover band!
interesting the guitarsit would ape allan's solo. why note improvise/ i mean, no way in hell allan could ever play the same solo twice, surely, you know that's a thing with allan! this guy has a sweet tone and vibrato...
So three years later I have revisited this video after commenting it was a "tribute band" and NOT PM's Gong. Here's my opinion now.. They are a tribute band... and not a particularly good one. Some of the laziest players I have seen in a long time. Just a cliche playing music mostly written before any of them were born. Snore...Zzzzzz
It would be interesting to see them make a collaboration with the contemporary Gong line up, both the projects are still going on after the leaders (Allen and Moerlen) passed away.
Great. Really authentic. I've enjoyed this album for 40 years since i 1st heard album. One thing though, please focus camera on guitarists hands during guitar solos
Could you please tell me more about what it was like to see them live? I've been a fan of Pierre Moerlen and of Gong in general since I was 15 years old, and I've always been curious to know if they played old Gong songs, if they had a repertoire or improvised most of the time, if they had a large following, things like that. Thanks a lot.
Bonsoirs celui qui fait du xylophone et mon ancien professeur de baterie sa fait 7 ans que je mes pas contacter jaimerai prendre de c’est nouvelle qui peut m’aider 🥺🥺
Nothing like a version of Pierre Moerlens Gong with NO Pierre Moerlen, No Hansford Rowe, No Benoit Moerlen, No Bon Lozaga, No Francios Causse, No original members whatsoever.. It's a PM Gong tribute group so name yourself appropriately.
Who woke up grandad? Is there a law saying a band has to keep all it's original members? Pierre's last album had no original members other than himself?? I'm off to see Soft Machine this month no original members either! Three of them are from 1975, does that pass your stringent tests? Off to see some classical music performed....imagine my horror when Ludwig wasn't even there!!
@@dodibenabba1378 What does age have to do with what "I Invented Gravel" said? (Other than his name, lol). Music is timeless isn't it? I admit genes matter and some musicians age better than others. Personally I wish they would call themselves something different because it's so apparent why they keep the name. Reasons like... $, Easier to get booked, Quicker recognition, Quicker respect etc. It's a brutal trap though. For example, I will probably never buy a new album by someone like "Yes" and there are 2 original members left. Certain members are vital to a band. That's why these "Band's" get singers and players to mimic the originals. Maybe you don't care about "who's" in the band. Understandable. But It's very important to me and I assume "I Invented Gravel" :) I HOPE as time rolls on dilettante's and connoisseurs will be not be left with just notes and no inspiration or passion that came with/ from the original composers etc. A tribute band is well, a tribute band. (And there are some that are amazing) We probably wouldn't even be commenting if this was a video of a tribute band. :)
Great rendition! Certainly the first fusion / Progressive jazz album or jazz band that I ever got into. Gong/ Gazeuse! Featuring Pierre Moreland with Allan Holdsworth! Actually I think King Crimson was the first followed by gong than mahavishnu orchestra, return to the forever,& weather report. But up until that point the closest I got into this kind of music was Rush yes , led Zeppelin cream Pink Floyd& The who.
