- The Glorious Om Riff, recorded by the Beeb at the Paris Theatre on 28 April 1979. Appearing as track 11 on the Radio 1 in concert album Steve Hillage Live in Concert, produced by Chris Lycett and Jeff Griffin and originally released in 1992. This cheerful little ditty is even better than the wonderful studio version which was on Steve Hillage's 1978 solo album 'Green'. Presented here with a suitably trippy video clip to step off to.

Ah, Steve Hillage.
Fond memories of seeing the band in the late 70s at the Rainbow Theatre, London and at Glastonbury 1979. This was always one of my favourite tunes.
Skin up.
I took a school friend who hadn't heard any Hillage to the Rainbow gig in '79. He's been a massive fan ever since, and still says that Hillage is his favourite musician.
Steve 'GONG' Hillage beautiful 👍👍👍
Andy Anderson - wonderful human, fabulous drummer, very sad loss to the world
This is INSANE !! The album version is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time and this, impossible I thought it to be completely blows it out of the water.
If you want to see the Om Riff/Master Builder transcending time and space, drag your old arse out to see Gong. They absolutely nail it. 👌
I do love looking at comments on videos like this. It's one of the only places on TH-cam (and maybe the whole of the Internet!) where people are nice to each other. Then again maybe that's cause we're all long hairs haha!
Haha so true...Nothing but love on the Prog/RIO videos I see
Sadly the only place I have long hair now is down my back...............DOH!
More love coming at ya, brother. ✌️
I might add I'm nearly 60 and no longer have long hair - virtually a short cropped head. Bur it doesn't stop me be one of the biggest Gong, Hillage hawkwind fans around! BTW this is as one of the best version.s of master builder ever!!!😂 rip Andy Anderson
What a brilliant version. Goosebumps.
the song the Ozrics took into the next era of free festivals and turned on the next generation of freaks , happy daze !
One of the best musically interesting and vibrant songs ever!!
Hillage = Killage !!!
🎸🔥🔥🔥
Young Hillage had such a lovely fluid guitar style, perfect for this sort of music. Good stuff.
the best Acid trip i have ever had
Remember Deeply Vale Free peoples Festival, 1977 or 78 cant remember, the last time I saw Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy.
Saw Steve in 79 with is line up...it was incredible. The band was super tight and at the same time fluid and free - form. Just exceptional, ground breaking rock'n'roll.
This doing it now, gigs to come this year!
saw this played live in 1981/82 on final Hillage Band Tour at Mayfair Suite in Birmingham, 1500 in a small hall with low roof and excellent acoustics it was outstanding, truly awesome and of its type only Kashmir (the original) comes close to it, Hillage was/is and will always be one of the great under-estimated musicians of all time
For sure. It would have been interesting to see if, had his singing been "better", whether or not he would have gotten more mainstream attention.
sp2a uk One of THE most underated bands of their time I believe...
Yeah, and you're right, mate. Only thing missing is a nod to Daevid Allen, his spiritual/musical step-brother, who started him on this path and both stood by him and played with him every step of the way.
Proto-Ozric Tentacles.
Absolutely fantastic.
Luv and Peace.
Steve Hillage is apparently doing lots of gigs in England. I imagine that there are still lots of Gong/Steve Hillage fans out there (like me) in North America? I suggest we fans here in North America start up a mantra:
"Oh happy day! Steve Hillage is coming to North America!" (OM)
"Oh happy day! Steve Hillage is coming to North America!" (OM) (You get the idea. 100x in the morning and 100x in the evening).
Tellement bon de réentendre Steve Hillage... unique et fabuleux!
I was working in the Record Revolution #1 store in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Sometime in late
John McKenzie − bass
Christian Boule − guitar
Steve Hillage − guitar, vocals
Andy Anderson − drums
Miquette Giraudy − synthesizer
It's you the drummer?
Congratulations 👍👏
Jean-Luc Chapelon Yes it is, Jean Luc, thanks for asking. 👍🏿👌🏿🤓
nice
ace
pace in ap
I have a pretty substantial Hillage collection, and I reckon this is THE version. Awesome.
Very envious,, sold all my beautiful discs 😖 under protest, years ago
Wow! Epic. Love the studio version, but can't even imagine seeing this amazing live performance. What a band he had at this time! The musicianship is sublime. Huge fan of Green. It reminds me of brighter times when altered states (by whatever positive means) were shared far more readily & safely just up the street and around any corner. I lived in Hastings & we picked our mushrooms legally & enjoyed truly uplifiting times together. Steve Hillage was always a big part of the good vibes shared ♥
Fav RIFF ever!
Gosh that really is a stonking version. I'm pretty sure I saw this lineup play at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979.
UN...believeble...!!!energie all'round my riff too!!Live man!!Steve and friends Rock!
top man for many years of my life
Saw him at roundhouse with my now wife, great memories !!!? X
This is awesome
Auntie Beeb sure knows how to make a live recording.
tis truly glorius
ouvia estas maravilhas quando tinha 15 anos tenho 58 anos.aprendi tocar bateria ouvindo progressivo.guido arrastao.ex banda tiroteio.
Stunning !!!!
Outstanding Live performance.
Fantastic upload! Thank you ♥
Top tune
wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!
One hundred thousand miles an hour of intergalactic spaciness.
Wonderful, I used to listen to Steve Hillage albums all weekend every weekend... Saw him live at Music Machine with me mates, just before Music Machine became Camden Palace, what an incredible gig. We were on another plane by 'eck! I believe Jesus was there too, bless his soul.
This is an evolution of "Master Builder" from _You_, isn't it?
this is very good, never heard this version
the best version!!!
simplemente....el más grande
*Deavid Allen' s & Steve Hillage's GONG* genius+perfecthion by sound
IL MEGLIO...DEL MEGLIO
Nice One
Anyone else here, see him at ‘The Rainbow’ 1979?
“Welcome to the Rainbow”🤩
Was at both shows, 2nd and 3rd March (and twice in 1977 . Not obsessed or anything😂)
s is hard to beat as a guitar riff with graphics way up there with the top sounds bit trebly in places would love to have seen live
So, did trance music start from this type of sound, we know David Allen went in to that sound
Holy hell what's this?? The crystal meth mix?? They were really motoring through the riff that night weren't they?? Brilliant.
Good music,good trip
The birth of Techno me thinks.
Dance music has a lot to thank Steve for I think. His stuff with system 7 is mind blowing.
Wonder if Kick Muck by the Ozric Tentacles started out as Ed Wynne noodling around on this riff? V similar structure (although Kick Muck is like a tongue-twister for your fingers on guitar).
Bellissimo. E mentre lo guardo ipnotizzato, ripeto a me stesso mille volte: "devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire, devo dimagrire…" Chissà se funziona.
Oh Steve Hillfish !
Oooohyeah 🍓
boa gostei
Master Builder
SUBLIME
major spillage
pre dates techno by about 20 odd years
dave h Sorry but no it doesn't. Techno (technological music) started in 1920. Unless of course you mean when the name techno was coined but I don't count that :p
Katy Perry does an amazing cover of this tune. No wait.. maybe I'm mistaken.
It was Adele. Easy mistake.
@@markharwood7573 is there really one?
@@dheneb587 :-)
Best version of this masterpiece ever! Why can't I purchase this entire Radio 1 experience? (or can I ?) Is it out there somewhere? 40+ years later and it still kills... Stuff like this is what enables me to get out of the bed in the morning.
robert d Release was called ‘BBC Radio 1 Live : Steve Hillage Live’. Was taken from two Radio 1 concerts, recorded 1976 and 1979. Vinyl, CD and tape released first in 1992! I have both vinyl and CD. ‘The Glorious Om Riff’ (as playing here) was track 11. Good luck finding a copy if you want vinyl!
Search spotify for Steve Hillage - Glastonbury Experience. Same tour.
Shit! At 5: 07 it gets REALLY INTENSELY HEAVY!!!!
mai mao zai zao tai tao now...
This kinda reminds me of the band Ozric Tentacles.
Mark P Ozrics cite Hillage as an influence. He has appeared on some of their songs.
+sturat69 Also, Garbage left Gong because he was shagging Daevid's wife.
The more you kno.
+sturat69 since Hillage is credited as writer of said original song and with much of the best of Gong of that era clearly you are not in possession of the facts of the matter.
N'importe quoi !
Deavid Allen Geniu§
Who were the second and third guitarists? Seriously, you say this live Andy.....who were they?
What is the temple made of?

Awesome. What was the band lineup?
Am I mistaken or is there also a Gong song in which he employs a similar Riff ?
Master Builder from the album You.
christo792 thank you.
Om nava shiva ya?

Pierre Moerlen on drums?

Can I have my purple microdot back now? I will be a good girl,mommy.
Acid music
All versions of this sound pedestrian compared to the version on GREEN.
Steve always sounds good but his drum and bass players are too stiff.
Also most versions I've heard are too damn fast..
They are rushing through it.
The GREEN version is the one...for ME.
The glorious om rip off..
''🎸🎸🎹🎹📻📻🔊🔊🎚🎚🎧🎧! ''....That's easy for you to say. Try writing the prose for it. An 'Also spracht' lookalike ? Five across and one down. 6 letters.(No answer, due to use of non existent geometric language; imaginary bus replacement service provided.) This therefore is the live musical transport version? Causal logic: 1+1 = habitual implication.
