Signed by the Beatles to Apple records. They were going to be the next big thing. Sadly, Pete Ham’s suicide ended their rise. Love their song Baby Blue.
The band's manager stole their profits and destroyed their band. He was an evil b@stard.
This has such a strong Beatles sound, too. That bass sound is very McCartneyesque
The Beatles especially Paul McCartney played a major role in getting them signing bad deals that led Pete Hamm deleting himself
They were done way before Ham hung himself. Their management stole everything from them leaving the band members faced with stacks of lawsuits and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. One of the saddest stories in rock history
@@flyingburritobro68 - Two members committed suicide, also Evans.
Great underrated band. Their song Baby Blue is also an excellent song!
Their harmonies sound slot better on the studio version.
Maybe Jay will like Baby Blue better 😂
Baby Blue all the way! 👍👍👍👍👍
Love their song Baby blue. I like even better Phil Keaggy cover of the song who is the best guitarist you never heard of. Amazing guitar solo at the end.
@@brianedwards9240❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most underrated power pop bands of all, and unfortunately the most tragic.
First power pop band I believe
So many times in my life a Badfinger song would come on the radio and someone in the room would say, "I love this Beatles song".
The Beatles did right by helping this band get on the map. Excellent group.
I really wish that they would have been able to help them with management to
except they got ripped of by Mal Evans, Apple refused to even release this song, until Al Steckler, the American director of Apple in New York did it.
I think the Beatles could of helped them financially. It might of helped prevent two tragedies. 😢😢😢
@@UseByDate-Expired Wiki has a different take on this. They have Mal really pushing the get the band signed by Apple. He produced the track, but it wasn't good enough for release until Geoff Emerick remixed it.
Stan Polley is the one who embezzled them and caused Petes suicide basically.
No matter what Jay says, this is a great track by Badfinger.
I see what you did there! ☮️😝😍
Agreed
Yep!!🤟
Amen to that!!
They wrote Without you. This band was so good good with a tragic story
These guys were not one-hit-wonders. The were protégés of The Beatles. They were the only band signed on to the Beatles Apple label records. Then tragedy struck. The story of Badfinger is heartbreaking. I can only imagine if they’d gone on. But. We have the music they make to enjoy. And all of it is good.
Actually, Billy Preston signed on to the Apple to.
@@Alexandra_Indina Badfinger was the first non-Beatle on Apple label, but there were several signed to them.
A fun memory of seeing one of the touring Beatlemania groups was when midway through the show, they broke into "No Matter What". Halfway through the song, "Paul" and "John" stopped playing and one said to the other "Wait a minute! We didn't do that, it's not our song!" The other said "What do you mean we didn't do it! Of course, we did!" They asked "George" and "Ringo" who couldn't agree if it was a Beatles song or not, so the band just decided to finish the song to great applause from the audience.
Was it the Fab Four?... Funny story. 😊
Amazing and super funny!! They were everywhere!!
@@oldiesgeek454 No, I've seen the Fab Four and they were great. This was any actual Beatlemania touring group, featuring Mitch Weissman. Mitch was the original "Paul" from the Broadway show. The show was sometime in the mid-late 90's at Club Bene in South Jersey. So many fine Beatle tribute groups. I've seen Rain several times and they always do a great show as well.
@@B.R.0101 Yes, when they went into the song it was as if it was a part of a normal "Beatles" set, but midway through, "Paul" and "John" started casting looks at each other until "Paul" stopped playing completely and suggested to "John" that it wasn't their song. "John" said to "Paul" something like "Are you daft? Of course, it's our song!"
This song is certainly Beatlesque ( kinda watered down Beatles though ).
14 year old me is pretty happy about this one, I might be wrong but I think this was the first band on the Beatles Apple Records. Paul wrote their first hit for them and I think George was particularly involved. Sadly there’s some tragedy involved with the band
You’re only 14? Awesome!
One of my fave bands back then.
Still waiting for a biopic on them.
It would be a a biopic of a crooked manager that caused suicides!
Too depressing.
It’s the saddest story ever
Jay/Amber, you'll love their, "Baby Blue" and "Come And Get It" !!! Pete Ham lead singer. They recorded on Apple Records.
edit- Their song "Love Is Gonna Come at Last" is another good one, although only Tom Evans and Joey Molland remained from original lineup.
Yes! Come and Get It brings back childhood memories!
Tom Evans died in 1983.
@@kingofthecheviothills and "Love Is Gonna Come At Last" is from their 1979 album Airwaves, which I have on vinyl.
Day after Day is probably the song you remember...big hit for this band..loved their sound...cheers to the seventies!
Power pop is the term you were looking for, Amber-and that is exactly what Badfinger is all about. I love this song. The lead guitarist, Joey, is simply one of the nicest guys out there. Have met him several times. Sadly the band has a tragic story, making all their songs a little bittersweet.
❤
Yes. Perhaps the first top forty song to feature prominent "power chords." And LessCarmel is right about the tragedy of the band, the two lead members each having hanged themselves after having been ripped off by their manager. Rest in Peace. But oh, how I loved this song during the fall of 1970, when I would run to turn up the radio!
A banger in my book. Even this live version. The studio release is much tighter.
I miss the hand clapping.
@@dmgiliam Absolutely. And for some reason, they changed the order on "Nothing to see, nothing to say, nothing to do".
Looks like it is the rehearsal weds afternoon take for TOTP, less folk in the studio so more ambient echo. The audio might be used for playback for the evening performance , or retained for spare broadcast the following week if the record was rising and the band were not avalible to get to London to do a new performance.
@@highpath4776 Hmm. Interesting. I like this version. Not as good as the studio, but I like it.
I agree this is not a strong as the studio version.
Love this band! “Baby Blue” and “Without You” are also great songs!
Yes.
When Badfinger came out on Apple Records, The Beatles had already broken up. McCartney wrote " Come & Get It"for them and they sounded very much like The Beatles, especially the drumming and guitars. Their timing was perfect. We all missed The Beatles so very much.
Paul even made them a demo of it and basically told them, "Record it just like that and it'll be a hit." And they did, and it was.
LIVE PERFORMANCE! Badfinger nails this song! Vocals and guitars are right on.
I may be wrong but I think they were singing live with a prerecorded backing track. I love Tom Evan's harmony at 4:05! It's not on the final track but should be!
One of the greatest songs of ALL-TIME!! If not for tragedy, they would've been one of the greatest bands!!
One of the best power pop songs of its era. Great to see a genuine live performance. This band had a truly tragic history which I’m sure others here will go into.
“Baby Blue” and “Come And Get It” next please.
You guys are on a roll tonight. Badfinger and Johnny Lee can’t go wrong with them. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Great song by a band that deserved so much better
This live version is pretty good but the studio version has a little more energy and the performances are tighter.
No, disagree. IMO this live version is awful (mainly let down by the mix) - the record was excellent.
I kind of agree but I do really love the live vocals on this version 👌🏼
oh, that is the difference why I thought it was a re-sing
The style of music is “power pop” for rockin songs “rock of all ages” “better days” “suitcase-live”
Love Badfinger!!! Of course I was there when it came out!!!!
you were in the Studio ?
@@markvanderstelt8999 Actually yes I was. Mr smart
Smart Alec
Great band, had a lot of good songs. This was one of the best. Sadly Pete Ham, the lead singer, committed suicide at age 27. Tom Evans, the bass guitarist, likewise committed suicide in 1983 age 36.
Rip tragedy from BAD management 😢
One of my favorite songs of all time. One way to describe it is “Power Pop”. Very Beatle-esque.
Other Badfinger songs for you to check out: "Maybe Tomorrow" (when they were called The Iveys). "Come and Get It" (written for them by Paul McCartney), "Better Days", "Without You" (became a big hit for Harry Nilsson), and "Baby Blue'. This band is begging for a biopic to be made about them. They had two very talented and sensitive artists that composed most of their songs and they both committed suicide many years apart for similar reasons. Like a lot of bands they had the typical money troubles that plagued them and in their case it led to tragic results.
Robbed by their manager like so many bands of the day.
Their money troubles were beyond typical. They were robbed blind by their manager. The most tragic story on rock history truly.
One of my top 10 favorite songs! It tickles that spot in my brain in just the right way. 😁🤘(Wish it was the studio version for the fabulous harmonies)
Great song that still sounds as good as it did when it released.❤
One Of The Saddest Group Stories In Rock History 🙏❤️
Fun fact I saw them at a classic rock festival on a mountain in Washington state and the lead singer was so tanked he fell off the stage and got stuck between the stage and an amp and broke his leg. He was trooper and continued with out stopping and finished his set. 😂👏🏼
Who else misses the awesome hand claps from the recorded version? That’s the best part!
Yeah! That is the best part!
Baby Blue is a must!
Try and listen to Badfinger live at the BBC concert and not be amazed on how flipping talented they were
Some great songs, sad story,
Cheers
I like Badfinger who had a few hits late 1960's-1970. As well as this song, there was 'Come and get it'-written by Paul McCartney and 'Day after Day'. Soft rock and quite melodic.
For me it's the power behind the guitar and bass. This is one of my favorite bands of all time. I agree that Baby Blue is the best of their songs. I loved the volume, it sounded more like listening live.
Some songs don't only bring back memories but they also bring back... I don't know... it puts you back in that place. This is one of those for me.
This song is definitely part of the Power Pop genre. One of my favorite power pop songs is 'I'm on Fire' by Dwight Twilley. He's from Tulsa, Oklahoma, too!
Finally, someone else requesting "I'm on Fire" by Dwight Twilley! It's a banger which I know they will love! I have requested this song to them several times, even mentioned the fact that he's from Tulsa, so thanks for requesting it!
@tessmagetessera6141 Absolutely! The Raspberries were phenomenal, one of my favorite groups from the '70s, and agree that "Go All the Way" is quintessential power pop. Also love their rocker "Tonight."
@tessmagetessera6141 Yes!
@tessmage_tessera It was the first American power pop song, but Badfinger came before them and defined the genre.
Possibly the most underrated band of all time
Don't know why, but this is one of my all time favorite songs. The ringing guitar background was dynamite for a pair of 70's ears, but I think the associations I had with this song gave it the meaning it has for me. Super underrated band, probably because it doesn't fall into any category. Never gets old.
First power pop band. That's the category.
One of the best pop rock songs
Great band, great live performance, great reaction. 👍
Badfinger was a British rock band that had a close association with The Beatles during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The band was signed to The Beatles' record label, Apple Records, in 1968, and their first single, "Come and Get It," was written and produced by Paul McCartney.
The Beatles were fans of Badfinger's music and were instrumental in helping them gain exposure and success. George Harrison produced several of Badfinger's songs, including "Day After Day" and "Baby Blue," and the band often toured with or made appearances on stage with The Beatles.
However, the relationship between Badfinger and The Beatles was not always easy. Apple Records was beset by financial and management problems, which had a negative impact on Badfinger's career. The band members were also caught up in the legal battles that surrounded the dissolution of The Beatles and the dispute over ownership of Apple Records.
Tragically, two members of Badfinger, Pete Ham and Tom Evans, committed suicide in separate incidents, years after the band had broken up. The loss of these talented musicians was a reminder of the complex and challenging history that Badfinger shared with The Beatles.
"No Matter What" is one of Badfinger's most popular songs, released in 1970. It was written by Badfinger guitarist and vocalist, Pete Ham, and produced by fellow band member Tom Evans and Apple Records head, Mal Evans.
The song has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, and Foo Fighters. It continues to be a popular and enduring classic rock song.
I believe Todd Rundgren produced Baby Blue
Great song from one of rock's most tragic bands. They deserved much better.
Badfinger were one of the best UK bands of the early 1970's IMO. They wrote Nilsson's mega-hit Without You.
Most underrated band in history.
And the saddest story of management cheating the band out of their money. These guys lived on next to nothing, leading to the suicides of the 2 songwriters.
I love their debate over what genre it is rock or pop, guys it's power pop!
Ahhh another great cut!!! My old man has been playin this for me for 43 yrs!!@ love it!!! Cheers
Baby Blue is their very best song. Much love ❤️
When we first head this in 1970, we rock/pop fans thought "Oh my God! It's the Beatles!" The lead vocal sounded like Paul, the backing vocal sounded like John and the guitar solo sounded like George. Even the DJ's hinted this was a secret recording made by the Fabs.
First time I heard this I thought it was the Beatles using a diff÷ent name. Kinda like Derick and the Dominoes with Clapton. 7:41
Anything Pete touched was GOLD!
This brings me right back to the 70's. Great band and really a tragic story. They also wrote "Without You" which was covered by Harry Nilsson. You both liked that one a few months back.
A strong beatles influence runs through the song including the lead guitar solo.
Amber is right, this was called power pop. Such a great band, such a tragic history.
It’s always sad to watch a Badfinger performance, knowing what happened to them and how talented they were. Amazing songwriting and harmonies.
When this song was released people thought it was The Beatles singing under assumed Name. But with connections to Paul McCartney and George Harrison it's easy to see the similarity.
One of the greatest tragedies in rock n roll was the story of Badfinger. Mal Evans brought them to Paul first then later they all worked with the other three Beatles who signed them to Apple. Stan Polley was the biggest villain in this story . Straight Up and Wish You Were Here we’re their best albums.
I absolutely love this song. I’ve never seen this great live performance. Awesome! 🌺✌️
Their first single was Come and get it written by the Beatles, the Beatles signed them to Apple Records and heled them get started
The hangings in the group sowered mrme forever on their music
Thanks guys this is my favorite song by them. Have a blessed day.
This is a rare, live version. One clue is the transposition of ".....nothing to see, nothing to say...." from the studio version.
This song came out right after the Beatles broke up and it sounds so much like them that a lot of people thought it was the Beatles being cute and recording under a different name.
Badfinger:
1. Come And Get It(written by Paul McCartney!!)
2. Baby Blue
Two great ones!
What was so cool was most of the time 87% or 95% of the time we were busy living our life in fast motion and these songs came on one after the other. We had ZERO idea what any of them looked like. When I see a video of this..... I was shocked!
I just remember the fun, the times. I had no idea!
We weren't visually fixated except for that new boy at school or the trip to the lake and camp, that guy you danced with.
It was just a
"Sign Of The Times".
Day After Day was the song you did before, not Day By Day. This was a huge hit for Badfinger in 1970. Very Beatlesque. Badfinger were very talented. Pete Ham and Tommy Evens were amazing song writers in the Lennon/McCartney tradition. They have some very beautiful songs.
I was hooked on Badfinger the moment I heard "Come and Get It". They were very Beatle sounding. Just a wonderful band that never really got to reap the rewards they so deserved.
What you guys have to understand is that you are listening to the live version. Badfinger wasn't a great live band. But they excelled in the studio with producers like George Harrison, Mel Evans, Tod Rundgren and Beatles engineers Geoff Emerick and producer Chis Thomas. They played on albums from Ringo, John Lennon and George Harrison of course.
Amber hits the nail on the head when she says it’s more powerful than the average pop song. Well, Badfinger was one of the architects of power pop.
Sadly, Pete Ham (the lead singer) and Tom Evans would both commit suicide by hanging.
As such their songs leave me with more melancholy than most.
Perhaps their most melancholy song is “Dennis”.
Power Pop!
The echo's a bit better but still there.
Quite frankly, you two have lifted me up so many times, I would still listen if you were broadcasting from the bottom of a well.
This has been my favorite song since childhood! My sister and I found a couple of our older brother’s 8 track tapes that he had recorded from records. This song and Come and Get it were on it. We played the tapes all the time until they wore out! We loved all the songs!
when this song came out a lot of people, myself included, thought it was the Beatles themselves-the guitar sounds like George and the harmonies like John and Paul-if you listen to the studio version you can really hear it.
The rumors were rife back in the day that this was The Beatles moonlighting incognito. It didn’t help Badfinger at all, really tragic band in the end. ✌️
Also a John and a Paul look alike.
"Come And Get It" and "Baby Blue" were also big hits for Badfinger. However, their most famous song is "Without You", covered by Harry Nilsson and won him the Song of the Year Grammy. And Mariah Carrey did a carbon copy of Harry's version.
Def Leppard did an amazing cover of this song. From the album YEAH, you should check it out. That entire album is absolutely amazing.
Oh. I may have heard it, by Def Leppard. That may be why it's vaguely familiar. I don't know that I've listened to that album, but I might've heard it playing in some random place.
Right!!!
Lillian Axe did a hard rock version in the early 90's - the video had constant rotation on MTV back then
Love their music. They have a great band name and an iconic album cover.
Spot on. This was called 'power pop' back then.
Great song, great era, brings back so many great memories. They wrote Without You which was turned into a huge hit by Harry Nilsson
When this song first came out, because it was on the Apple Record label and the sound was so similar to the Beatles sound, a lot of people initially thought this really WAS the Beatles, just disguising their vocals and recording under a different name for the fun of it.
Great tune!
Fun facts: Before they were signed to Apple, Badfinger's name was The Iveys. This was meant as a tribute to another British band, The Hollies (via the Christmas song "The Holly and the Ivy"). The Hollies in turn were named in tribute to Buddy Holly, whose band The Crickets was the inspiration for the name "Beatles." And Paul McCartney renamed the group Badfinger after "Bad Finger Boogie," which was the working title of the Beatles song "With a Little Help from My Friends."
Paul McCartney would be disappointed in you,young man,it's pop Rock gold!
One of the most underrated bands and songs of the 70's
Classic! This is still played on the radio, nice sound. "Come And Get It" is another good one.
Another one of my Dads favourite band who have now become one of mine. We also had this played during his funeral.
Pete Hams vocals are just awesome and it’s just so so sad the way life ended for him. He had so much more to give. A very underrated band full of talent 👍🏼
This genre of music was called "Power Pop". Check out The Raspberries, T Rex and Big Star for more from this genre.
The story goes that John Lennon was working out the melody for Ringo's With a Little Help from my Friends using his ' badfinger ' because he'd injured his index. Originally called the Iveys, the group's first big hit was Come and Get It, written and produced by McCartney. Although a solid group, the members had tragic endings.
I may have said this before, but the line "knock down the old grey wall" refers to the disused cowshed they rehearsed in, on a farm in the Swansea Valley in South Wales. If you see the promotional film for this song you can see it there.
When Badfinger were touring the USA they sent postcards to the wife of the farmer. Her daughter in law showed them to me
I haven't heard this song in sooooo long. Thank you for playing it ❤️
If there is truly a horror story end in recording deals and outcomes, these guys are it. The two chief song writers had such talent and the monstrous way they were treated led both of them to end their lives. Ultimately, it's up to us as listeners of 'real talent' to keep their music alive. And their songs are so good. Keep up the good work in your picks, Rob Squad!
They were not only Beatly proteges but also took their name from a Beatles song - "Badfinger Boogie". If I remember correctly, that's what became With a Little Help from my Friends
Great song. Their album "Straight Up" was the first album I listened to front to back as a kid. It has 'Day after Day', 'Baby Blue', and my favorite song on the album, 'Perfection'. You would find that a very pertinent song today if you would have reacted to it.
They were an excellent band of the times. There was just so much amazing music at that time. So happy to have come of age with it.
Very Much Love to you guys! The new Studio is ROCKIN. Great song. Some more suggestions for Bad Finger "Baby Blue", "Come and Get It".
Listen to the studio version. More polished, a higher quality mix, and a better performance.
Not many bands that delved into the Beatles vibe were able to really pull any of it off...count Badfinger right alongside Oasis and Nirvana as bands who really learned from the masters 😊
I love how you said it's more powerful than your normal pop song as Badfinger really helped usher in "Power Pop." They're a fabulous band. I'd check out "Baby Blue" or "Name of the Game" next.
Another great song that I haven't heard in a long time. You guys are like a time machine taking me back to Junior high and high school
BEFORE I even listen: Yes ! Yes 1 Yes: Great song by Pete and the gang. His opening guitar riff is known everywhere. My favorite part is the guitar. George Harrison taught Pete to play slide.
Yes gone unoticed in this reaction is the fact how "Beatles" it sounds. Apple Records' first band on the label.
Badfinger's song "Come & Get It" was written by Paul McCartney. Catchy as all hell!
