No Matter What Badfinger

- Hailed as the new Beatles but "mismanaged and exploited beyond the bounds of human decency" Badfinger's thankless career drove two members to take their own lives. Badfinger could have been huge. What’s more, the band’s connections with The Beatles once earned them the tag of ‘the new Fab Four’. But instead, despite writing and recording some wonderfully memorable music, Badfinger went down in the annals of rock history for all the wrong reasons. Most people who remember the band today will probably point to the fact that two key members took their own lives.
The story of Badfinger is probably one of the most tragic in rock’n’roll. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong - twice - while their occasional triumphs over adversity never seemed to bring them their rightful reward. When Harry Nilsson first heard Without You (his future worldwide No.1 hit single), written by Badfinger’s Pete Ham and Tom Evans, he assumed it was a Beatles song. It was an understandable mistake, given that Paul McCartney had taken the band under his wing, signed them to The Beatles’ Apple label, and even written a hit for them in Come And Get It. Badfinger also backed George Harrison on his Bangladesh concerts. But their connection with The Beatles would become a double-edged sword.

64 years old listening to it August 2024. Still enjoying it oldie🎸🎵🎶
Me too..many many times. Tragic life for these guys. Breaks my heart.
This is a timeless classic and love 70's music. Who's still listening to this song on 10/27/2023? I'm 68 years old and will still be listening because it's an excellent song.

Great band,my fav song from them joegongora2200😊
They have such a tragic back story, love them always, so timeless
2024.. I'm 65. I still cry for them.
I am 72 years old and I am still listening to this wonderful group on July 13, 2024.
66 years young and listening to this brilliant song august 2024👏👍🤗😁
Totally with you dude
I want to watch now and then ❤
Can't believe this song doesn't have more views . This is a timeless classic .
Beautiful songs❤
There is about 15 downloads of this spread out so you have to combine all the views.. But yeh still should have way more views of this classic..
Great tune great band very sad end ❤😢
There are several clips on yt so I guess lots more views.
But given the bad luck these guys experienced time over time, I'd not be surprised if the algorithms are misfiring.
What talent they had and the warehouse of royalties the two lads missed out on RIP ❤
You're quite right, I can't believe it either!
Just cannot compare todays garbage with timeless classics like this. Thank you Sandy.
I couldn't agree more.I hope you also take a look/listen to the interview with Joey Molland. I think you'll enjoy it!
@@sandykayepresents-abreatho9146 I certainly will. Thank you for the tip. Have a great weekend and God bless ! :)
You certainly said a mouthful because today's music doesn't compare to something as wonderful such as this. I'm 68 years old and still listening on 10/27/2023.
This specifically?...we tend to like what we grew up with so anything new is called "garbage"
Still listening in Oct. 2023! At 77 y/o, too! L😀L👍❤️ 🇺🇲
👏👏👏👏👏
October 28th 2023 .... 65 yrs old - just learnt this on my acoustic - I play it as a tribute / respect .
Rock on my Brother.
Superb group, great music. Very sad ending for two lead singers, ripped off by their manager
Pete Ham was a genius song writer and is sorely missed
Tom Evans @2:04 so so good.
‘You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone’. I wish I’d known at the time that it was never going to get any better than this; we took it all for granted. Later in the early 70s I thought things were okay but could only get better, -right?
This is a good live version.
Rest in peace Tom Evens and Pete Ham we will miss you will be missed so much rest in peace❤
Don't forget Mike gibbons the drummer.
Badfinger were "The Next Beatles..Paul and George adored them..Paul wrote Come and get it and gave it to them.. instant hit.
You're 100% right. Take a listen to my interview with Joey Molland through the website www.abreathoffreshair.com.au I hope you enjoy it!
yes indeedy - and if memory serves me , Georgie Boy gave PH the guitar he played on this 🤩.
I'm 79 and still listen to it. Their songs are just fantastic as are their harmonies. Superb guitar work too!
George had Pete on stage with him for his Bangladesh concert.
My younger brother was in a band in the early 80’s whose manager was getting married. Scott just started playing keyboard but was asked to play the wedding march in the ceremony. Now among the managers other clients were Bonnie Raitt and Ian McLagen. Needless to say, my brother flubbed the march, and after Ian Mc Lagen walked up to him and with a grin said “ now you know why I turned him down”
I love Badfinger! What a fantastic band! GREAT SONG! NO Matter What! - 'NO MATTER WHAT' I WILL ALWAYS ADORE - ALWAYS LOVE BADFINGER's MUSIC!
I love this song. Actually I love this band. So under exposed. Actually one of the Beatles said Bad Finger was the Best Band in the early 60’s.
That would be 70's.
No matter the story Badfinger......we will akways stay with you. Brilliance❤
Great song great bad wish people had treated them better
That's what happens when you deal with america
na minha opinião essa é uma dás melhores músicas do badfinger e etc. /hoje quinta-feira 31 de agosto de 2023/ /dia:quinta:feira / /31/08/2023 /
O interessante é que a base instrumental é a de estúdio, mas eles cantam ao vivo por cima, o que torna essa versão única e especial, principalmente pela segunda voz do Tom Evans
The COOLEST left head glance from Tom Evans Bass guitarist at Pete Ham lead singing at 2:21..LOL!! Now that is early 70's cool..Robert at 69. A very Keith Richards cool look and better looking without the mustashe.
Banda espetacular curti muito esse som . Pena que acabou em tragédia
Fabulous song, fabulous sound, fabulous group
What a great band. So sad.
I love Badfinger !!!
No lip syncing here; just great live music from a great band. I'd like to speak my mind about their manager, Stan Polley, but TH-cam would certainly remove it.
Pete Ham 🥰 você é um dos melhores vocalistas do rock mundial 😅 Te amo profundamente 💖 Badfinger
Love this song love the backing vocals ❤
The “live” version is tops, but Tom’s harmonies in this one are *chef’s kiss*
É um privilégio 🥰 gostar de ouvir boas músicas 💝💝 Badfinger
Não quero chorar pelo o que aconteceu 💐 mais quero sorrir por tudo de bom que o Badfinger nos proporciona 😅 através de suas lindas canções que nos fazem bem mais felizes 💝💝 Badfinger
Poor naive lads from Wales... green as berries and easy pray for the heartless sharks.
A música nunca morrerá 🥰 pois ela é eterna 💐💝🎸 Badfinger
Love Bad Finger, love their music, so timeless
Badfinger’s 3rd released single came in at #7 on the billboard charts in 1970, was a very strong follow up to Come And Get released earlier in the year came in at #8 on billboard chart. This was the first Pete Ham written top 10 hit. Badfinger is sorely missed.
essa música é um dos grandes sucessos do badfinger e etc. /hoje quinta-feira 31 de agosto de 2023 / /dia:quinta:feira / /31/08/2023 /
A highly talented Welsh rock n roll band.

Bad Finger I love this BAND!
takes me back to my first "house parties" with all my mates, trying, and usually failing, to impress the prettiest girl there... Great times when you are first exposed to music.
brilliant classic gem😁
I wish they would not have stole all there money rest in peace
Great song. Great band. Dastardly,greedy manager.
eine wunderbare Band !
Love it. But in the very beginning of the song it looks like the music starts before they are playing??? Anyway, great song, so sad what happened to them
Supergroup. It doesn't get any better than this.
How great was that? Pete Ham on the SG that George Harrison gifted him, just a special effort.
The drummer has a weird stick grip. Never seen it before, but it still sounds good.
2:04 swoon

@ Sandy Kaye
please please please can you edit out that piece of filth at the very end ? ?
otherwise 10's all around .
ps : one more PLEASE .
Pete Ham 🥰 e Tom Evans 🥰 não estão mortos 😅 só o corpo físico é que está 😅 pois a nossa alma,o nosso espírito estão vivos, jamais morreremos, pois fomos criados para viver pra sempre 😅 nossos corpos espirituais são indestrutíveis 💝 Badfinger
Shame the guitar playing isn't what's on the audio. Vocals = yes.
These are the new Beatles. They were signed by Apple Records, who was owned by the Beatles.😊
was that not Jimmy Saville?
Yes it was Jimmy Saville,he's another creep
🥲
Smoking up, listening to this in my car right now....🎃
