Ganska häftig att se sin pappa så ung, och på youtube av alla ställen! Och så kul att se att så många tycker om dom ännu! Ni som fortfarande tycker om dom stöttar dom något otroligt:)
Så enormt skickliga de var, progperiodens musikaliska band, som står flera klasser över alla andra. Såg dem i Karlskrona 1975 och det var minnesvärt. Det finns skickliga band nu med, som t ex Public Servant.
In January 2007 I visited to Lars Hollmer's Chickenhouse in Uppsala. He let me watch this movie. Wathcing it with me he said 'What a strange beard!' 'Rock Star should not wear such a checked-shirts' and so on with laugh. Also he told me that a woman with long pipe (2:20) is his wife. He had a hope to release it as a DVD with other movies at that time. All of them are my old and good memories but anyway it is a great movie I believe.
Incredible band. Amazing chops and a great sense of humor. For me Snorungarnas Symfony is a monster album, I still can't believe the great Lars Hollmer is gone.
This is the Samla Mammas Manna I love you never know what they will do next. I didn't hear Samla before maybe 1978 when I recorded some live performance in Danish radio and I was hooked. Unfortunately I was too poor to bye their records then - good that has changed! Stephen Grossman visited some of the schools in Odense - in 1974 I guess. I saw him then and was amazed - what a brilliant guitarist and performer. I still have one of his records in the attic.
There was an element of humour in their music [ a little like the German band Gobschnitt ] but there is no shortage of talent, these guys were good as Grobschnitt were, the drummer has the same sort of personality as Eroc, Grobschnitts drummer. Fun to watch and listen to, thank you for the upload, cheers.
The drummer is *nearly* as good to watch as Chris Cutler in Henry Cow. Wonderful piece of mind-bending music. There is something of Canterbury Scene music about it.
+Bobby G Yeah, there are a few drummers who are quite visual and who really get into the music. Agree with the Canterbury-related impression too; somewhat whimsical (Ayers, Daevid Allen Gong, etc).
I fail to see the Canterbury connection (and the "Canterbury bands" NEVER saw any connection between each other either...but that's another discussion). "Samla" were more related to other Rock In Opposition/RIO bands like Belgian Univers Zero, French Art Zoyd, UK's Henry Cow and Czechoslovakians Plastic People of The Universe (you yourself mention Chris Cutler, who owned Recommended Records and its later incarnations, and sold all this RIO music - as well as beautiful Faust re-releases - on mail order). Don't forget their later constellations as Zamla Mammaz Manna and Von Zamla, and check out Hasse Bruniusson's 2 solo projects here: www.discogs.com/artist/489409-Hasse-Bruniusson Hasse Hollmer is unfortunately no longer with us since 9 years. He recorded his many solo and other projects in a former chickenhouse... www.discogs.com/artist/218808-Lars-Hollmer
Haven't seen this great performance since...well...1974. I seem to remember that this was actually a Swedish or possibly Danish TV show. The presenter is of course great guitarist Stefan Grossman.
Listen to Fred Frith Gravity featuring Samla Mammas Manna and also watch Meet The Flower Kings where Hasse Bruniusson is on percussion in a similar way to Jamie Muir did in King Crimson!!!
+TheMorsan89 Really? The band (and I'm guessing your father, as well) came over to play in the USA and the state I live in (North Carolina), in 2002 at a festival. I wasn't there, because I was only 5. lol I love this band. And your dad is awesome!
@@eren7350 Fun for you perhaps. But it was my childhood, and to a kid, prog was scary. Same with the socialist children's programs on tv in Sweden at the time, totally bizarre :D
