Great performance of this Powerpop standard. Pete Ham - what can you say? The Beatles George Harrison said it best - "a great singer."
Absolutely this band should be in the rock and roll hall of fame, it’s a shame how cruel the music industry is. Another story of a great band getting ripped off by greedy heartless scumbags management.
Yeah, i agree, but they were handed a lot of great songs the Beatles gave them. But that doesn't matter because they were extremely talented.
I worked for his brother John ...in his Music Store... I met Peter a few times... he was a really nice guy... his death effected the family so badly they never recovered from it! I even played a few of his guitars... including his Les Paul Black Beauty and a Gibson SG given to him from George Harrison...as well as a Gibson EB3 bass ...
I never met any of the guy's . Like their family's i have never recovered from their deaths either. R.I.P. Pete and Tom .I am sorry for what that scumbag did to you guy's, if you could read my mind then you will at least have some satisfaction. The POS that drove you to it will be in the lake of fire for eternity and not one inch of his body will have been unburnt , he will be screaming in agony forever.
Tears in my eyes In what could have been. These songs are timeless and even though their careers were short they belong in the R&R Hall of Fame!
I know how you feel I thought the bad finger group we're going to be like we still be listening today you know of course I'd be older but I just can't understand her demise I don't know thank you and God bless you😊😊😊😊🤠🤠✔️
2023 and still listen to them. My favorite then and now. Tom’s bass is fantastic.
I can't help but cry through their music. At 68, the sadness of their story breaks my heart.
Beginning January 2024. Love their music
@@stevencopley5487 Absolutely heartbreaking what happened to Pete and Tom. They could have won this lawsuit if they would have just stuck it out.
Corruption destroyed all of our classic rock music.@@stevencopley5487
you have also to have the money to pay the lawyers; they clearly didn't, having been stitched up . . .@@Real_g.s.
Still one of my favourite bands. Tragic ending, gone way too soon but what a legacy. Totally under rated.
Yup they kick a**.
27 seems to be the suicidal age of many artists
I agree. Tragedy that should have never happened
NOT under rated . Screwed by a filthy US douche bag
Remembering Mike Gibbins born on March 12, 1949. He was a Welsh musician, most notable for being the drummer of the 1960's and 1970's British rock band Badfinger. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Gibbins
At 68 and having rediscovered Bad Finger in early 2023... I now cry through their albums. Their story is absolutely heartbreaking. RIP Pete, Tom and Mike. Love you forever. 😭❤🙏
Yes, terribly sad. Ripped off by their manager. Would have become a Supergroup. Superbly talented, great shame about passing of two main singers/songwriters. XX Rip Pete and Tom. Always be remembered.
Absolutely- 1 of my top 5 groups-maybe as good as Beatles-but swindled. Heartbreaking, hard to listen to without leaking...same with SRV.😢
Can't listen to Badfinger or SRV knowing their stories,
without tears-both cut down at their peaks...
E eu 69½ anos 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@@glennwisk5452por isso digo ,se existe um deus ele se chama Egoísta e idiota.
Badfinger should be in the Rock Hall of Fame!
Yes!
True
They don't require validation via such a circle-jerk "institution"...
Yes!!
Unfortunately, the deaths and drugs made their time too short to have the impact they were beginning to have.
Pete you left us 46 years ago today but you have not been forgotten you will be long remembered “No Matter What”.
Holy hell they sound even better live! Mind officially blown 🤯
Yes, I prefer to find live. They were so great. You can feel it so much better live.
You've got that right my friend. Outstanding live sound .
It's crazy, if you search this song you tend to mostly find live shows... but the thing about badfinger is that they're actually better live?! Listen to Tom Evans - he may even sound better here than the recording?!
They're better sounding live because the song was made to sound like a, "Super Killer Tune". This song Badfinger "Knocked it out of the Ballpark". It proves that they were a great band.
Don’t forget the superb amplification courtesy of Hiwatt to complement the talents of the band members
What a voice. What a band. What style.
Never get tired of listening to Badfinger music. Tom's bass lines especially nice on this one. RIP Pete, Tommy, and Mike.
Jim . Hargett agreed
Perhaps one of the most unappreciated bands from the sixties an all time favorite of mine
from seventies.
Amazing comment!
Brian Duncan - They were appreciated in the US back in the day, because radio played them a lot. Maybe they weren't recognized in Europe though.
I would agree. In retrospect they were a very good four piece band and Ham was a very good composer.
Great singer, great song, great band (that got fucked over. And over. )
what a musical masterpiece by a true gifted british band,miss you fellas
Walsh band,after Scotland becomes independent then its wales turn.
@judis6224 😂😂dream on jock. Never going to happen, your masters said no and now you're stuck with a p@k! In charge 😂😂
Look at these absolute rock gods! Badfinger were stylish af! And this tune so commercial. I am blown away!
When the Beatles broke up, I thought " at least we still have Badfinger". Sad end to a great band. RIP Pete, Tom and Mike. Your music will live on forever.
This song is 50 year old already. How time flies. My favorite band.
The older you get the quicker it goes. I was a kid when this song came out - now I'm 60 🤯
This band was so incredible...the songwriting, the musical talent and the chemistry. I saw them live around this time and they TOTALLY blew the auditorium away! Me included of course (lol), I knew they were amazing...but when I saw them live, let's just say it was stunning.
Every time I watch a Badfinger video, I remember them as one of the BEST bands to come out of the 60’s and early 70’s, with one of the SADDEST stories. Yes, I agree, they SHOULD be in The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame...DEFINITELY! They were REALLY talented!
Wow, listen to that bass! What I great mix to listen to for anyone wanting to learn!! Tom is such an underrated bass player!
Rubikscuber1 Underrated! Like salt, clouds, or whatever is under discussion today. Underrated!
@@artysanmobile yep it's the most overused and misused words on youtube
@@artysanmobile Great Band. Drummer rushing a bit, but fab writing!!
@@artysanmobile Bah humbug
And one of the most underrated!!
What a luxury to grow up listening to music like this with so much talent ,they were incredible!
November 2024 still rocking to Bad Finger❤
Pete Hams voice is brilliant.
Pete Ham is clearly the world-class musician here.....always 100% ON and delivering killer vocals. Pete, RIP, I wish you were still with us.
Love how the drummer speeds it up to super speed after Pete already set the pace with the guitar riff....lol. Oh well ...still friggin' great tune and RAW live performance... I love raw performances ... pure and awesome !!! Thanks for posting !!!!
I thought I was the only one that caught that, holy man lol slow it down!...and he just carried on like a pro
Just listened to this clip for the first time and yes, I'm thinking...why is it so fast ( towards the end). Thought it was just me!!!
Always blame the drummer... Timing is everyone's responsibility. If you listen closely you find it's the vocals rushing.
@nickmues437 I'm a drummer of 42 years. I'm the time keeper. The rest of the band are only responsible for playing with my time, not changing time. That's why we practice with a metronome. The vocals rushed because the drummer rushed first. I'm a studio drummer.
They were such great musicians, so good to hear the actual live audio for the video.
Badfinger IS in MY Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame!!! and that's the ONLY Rock Hall that matters to me!!! :)
Cant believe I'm seeing this after nearly fifty years! 😙
Me too, God it's awesome!
Felix Felix
Me Toooooooo ! :)
When the Beatles were breaking up,this band kept me going!!!!Thanks guys for the memories.RIP
Actually I believe the Beatles started this group and sponsored them
@@stevesteve1198 The Beatles produced some of their songs and put them on their new record label Apple Records.Paul wrote & produced their hit "Come And Get It"
Man, Pete could really sing. What a great band.
The words and memories are still in my heart ❤️
Such a beautiful power pop ballad. Badfinger were a brilliant ensemble and this song is at the top of their catalog
Ballad?
That....and Baby Blue.......
These dudes could write songs
Songs written by Lennon-McCartney...
@@saintpreferred9223nope
@@saintpreferred9223I was gonna say lol.
@@saintpreferred9223 Lennon had nothing to with Badfinger at all. Only song that McCartney wrote was Come and Get it, it seemed right because it was for the movie with Ringo in it and the Beatles had recently signed them to Apple Records and McCartney wanted to write their first hit being that they were under Apple. Pete Ham of Badfinger was reluctant thinking that they should write their own hits but eventually agreed seeing that it could springboard them into the charts and how can you say no when McCartney is offering? McCartney wrote the song and put everything together and told them to record it exactly like he did and it would be a hit and it was. That was the only song that was written by any Beatles member, McCartney played the tambourine (i think) on Come and Get It. George Harrison was pretty close with Badfinger, mainly helping produce some songs/albums and credited for playing the slide guitar on Day After Day which was Badfinger's song.

One of the greatest bands and songs of all time!
Just love this song! I play it over and over and over again! 💞
Yep, just loop it!
Me too but a version at the regular speed 😬…. This one’s a bit speeded up ✌🏽❤️✌🏽❤️
My fav song.
Badfinger❤
Their live vocal harmonies were so good......Been listening to them since 1971
Tight, clean, powerful.
Badfinger❤
Such a great band from my era 60s -70s. so underrated.
Who says they were underrated dude!
Like the Beatles.
robert harding Water is underrated too. Also the color blue. Terribly underrated.
I was a kid when I first heard this great band. Great live!
Great song, one of the best rock songs. Ever. Long live Pete and Badfinger.
Great live sound from Badfinger.
Great song.
I really appreciate these guys. Their music lives on.
What a badass performance and song. Long live Badfinger.
These guys were monsters! They had a hell of a sound. It all ended in tragedy, unfortunately.
Haven't heard that song in forever!! Love it!!
So much going on harmonically and melodically, it's just a fantastic track. Thanks for posting a great live version!
My first official rock concert was Badfinger. Some goofy band called Kiss was the opener.
Best power-pop band ever! And they sound perfect live..and the harmonies in the bridge...hell yeah!
One of the few good real bands to come from the seventies! ...... definitely should be in the Rock and Roll HOF!!!!! .... We owe this to Pete Hamm! .... real recognition!
I grew up to this music, and let me tell that’s when music was music, Badfinger and there music is timeless.....
Great song, by a great group. Great sound, that was exceptionally hot for a long time. It's always good to hear music by Badfinger.
They got paid next to nothing n that's Terrible!
That’s because without realizing it, they signed a record contract with the mob. The mob kept it all. A couple of them committed suicide. Or were helped along. 😢
Terrible story
@@dougvenne2993 I believe the part about the contract.. the other part is Iffy
And two of them killed themselves
@@ericaward702yes first Pete and then after 8 years also Tom... both of them hung themselves.
Another fantastic song by this group so criminally underrated, they deserve their props🎉🎉
Surely one of the best ever songs. Superb band...
I so loved them as a teen...Great bass playing..just a brilliant sound...😊
Loved, loved, loved this when it first came out and still do in 2019
one of my favorites which brings back old memories.
MAGNIFICENT MASTERPIECE from MASTER MUSICIANS, phenomenal band, lifetime fan
So much fun reminiscing back to a better time with these classics!
Badfinger was a 1st rate group🤩
joseph lemko
Indeed. Multiple guitarists and vocalists, very talented band.
I WAS THE FIRST LOVE OF TOMMY EVAN'S. MY NAME IS HIS HE ASKED ME TO CHANE MY NAME TO HIS. HE SAID HEME AND MUSIC WHERE THE BEST THINGS IN HIS LIFE .HE WAS CRAZY BUT THATS WHAT I LOVED ABOUT HIM WE WHERE TO YOUNG TO GET ENGAGED BUT WE DID .I WONDER HOW MY LIFE EOULD HAVE GONE BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE THERES A LOT MORE TO BE TOLD ABOUT ME AND TOMMY WE BOTH LOVED THE SAME THINGS MUSIC AND EACH OTHER I HAVE A SON WHO A LOT LIKE TOMMY MAKES ME LAUGH ALL THE TIME SAYS IF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN STILL TOGEATHER HED NEVER HAVE DONE THIS AWFUL THING.

DIANNE ELIZABETH EVANS LOVE MISS YOU ALWAYS MISS YOUR CRAZY WAYS .WE HAD IT ALL.XXXXXXXXFIRST LOVES FOREVERMORE.
So much more than that.
Paul McCartney wrote their songs
@@williebowen1043: Does that mean that they weren't a good group?
Don't forget Pete Ham also played more then guitar and was great at every thing he played. I was around 10 when this came out.I was blessed to have been born in 62 because all of 60s and 70s and even early 80s was the sounds of my youth.
Twig & Berries 1962👍🏼 the year I was born also✌🏼️
Same here (almost, 1963). Whenever I hear these songs I'm instantly back in our living room on a cold, dark winter morning, getting ready for school and listening to radio 1. I can almost taste the Ready Brek 🤗
BADFINGER DESERVES TO BE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME JUST BECAUSE OF THIS TUNE AND "WITHOUT YOU" ALONE! OF COURSE THEY HAD SO MANY MORE!
Such joy and passion here! They traded riffs and vocals so seamlessly. Such a future. Who would have expected two of these wonderful guys ending their lives. I so wish that there could be a cosmic make-good for one last performance together.
great classic Badfinger,one of my favorite bands ever and one of rock music saddest stories
I remember cranking their songs cruising the main st in my 69' Camaro ...Those were great days..
I loved this when it was first released. I was 14 and knew nothing...but I knew this was fantastic.
These guys were popular when i was in high school. 50th class reunion this year. Brings back such fond memories. Its so sad how it all turned out.
This has been my favorite song for 40 years!
SO GOOOOOD!!! VERY UNDERRATED MUSICIANS!!!
What a great band! Still listening at 60 Years of Age.
A song to remember listening to it takes me way back in time still rocken. Thank you bad finger.2020
magnificent masterpiece, great music & memories of life, one of the very best songs of all time, absolutely beautiful masterpiece, 100% pure talent, solid gold standard of excellence, hall of fame musicians, remarkable sound
Certainly one of the best bands ever. Live and recorded.
What a rare treat w excellent audio to boot!!
Great performance and no doubt they brought this performance to life. If they were underrated it was due to poor management and cut throat practices that record companies follow because they're not musical Visionaries.
What a great song. Perfect from the start till the end. What a tragic loss Pete and Tom were at such a young age. All because of a greedy manager. Thank god manager is dead now and can’t do any more harm. I’m sure he will get his justice down in hell where he belongs. RIP Pete and Tom. ❤
de mis bandas favoritas,desde que los escuché tocar por primera vez hasta el día de hoy no los dejo de recordar y me entristece mucho la situación que vivieron y que los llevó a tomar tan triste decisión QEPD estos genios de Bad Finger ❤
So much innocence optimism and energy -- without a hint of the dark tragedies that would end their world - these guys were the genuine article --
God I love Badfinger!! What a fantastic band!
Pete Ham, easily the world's best singer, songwriter and guitarist, an amazing feat.
Great live rendition! A classic....sad that they didn't get to make more music.
The best thing to come out of England in the late 60s, early 70s. Such a tragedy....................
Wales actually.
@@DDandrums
Swansea Wales for sure !!
Theyre from Wales not England
I loved badfinger from the first moment I heard them...nothing has changed!!
I don't always listen to Badfinger, but when I do, I listen to No Matter What.
Such a great band indeed. Wish I had seen them. Powerful.
I was lucky enough to have seen them twice...once in a high school gym in suburban Philadelphia!
Still listening at 68 years of age and enjoying just as much as when I first heard it in the ' '70's
Fabuloso badfinger gustavo
Right, I loved both the hits.
Hell Yes great tune some of the best hooks ever recorded in Rock & Roll doesn't matter if you play a Stratocaster or a Les Paul or some old Gretch you now what I'm talking about ! Long Live Rock and Roll !
Badfinger, súper number one 👍👐👐👐👐👐👐😔
Great voice in a time where you had to be good... no studio tricks. One of my favorite songs of all time, so sad Peter ended his life so young.
Pete felt he didn't have a choice,we all have choices,don't get involved with America.
@@judis6224it wasn’t America it was a guy, Stan Polley. Springsteen, Petty, Queen to name just three artists were treated badly when they broke through getting paid a pittance or tied into rotten contracts but they managed to get out and went on to have long and successful careers. Many other bands or solo artists have been ripped off in the past. Sadly, Badfinger had two fatalities which should have never happened. They were two great parts of a tremendous group that deserved much better. We can still enjoy what Pete and Tom and the band left us, their music. It’s a shame they didn’t get to see how many fans loved them all those years later.
I saw them in 1972 at the old Steel Pier in NJ. I was 11 and so happy that my parents took me to see them, after much begging.
Take care my Rockers and rest in peace!!!! Your music will live in all of our hearts and keep us remembering the days of the 70s...
joe rod the 70s were the best....wish I could go back
Everytime I see BADFINGER I cry! One the most adorable Group in Years 70, well sucessful! I live in Brasil and never knew about the tragedy until 2 or 3 years ago in TH-cam! The loss of two members of BADFINGER chocked me deeply and I passed many months crying thinking about the way PETER HAM died! I pray God lead him to Light and up to now I become touched by that tragedy as I were a member of the family! God bless them! Rio de Janeiro RJ Brasil🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 😢 ❤ 🌼 🌷 🌹 🌺 🌻! 09/01/ 2024.
Can tell this is live- fantastic group!!!
Мне 67 лет я вырос на музыке beatles в ссср не знали группу bandfinger чертовски хорошая музыка этих ребят с трагической судьбой они достойны быть среди первых
The tragedy of this band should be made into a movie.
Agree, would make a very poignant movie.
Then do it. Why do people say things like this without ever once considering that they could be the impetus?
Could be because I am not a fucking film maker. I think we should go to Mars, that doesn't make me an Astronaut.
There story should be made into more books and definitely a movie.
@Jacky J Jones Don't forget what happened to Kramer and his "treatment"; hollywood can be a strange place.
I still love the band.
Straight up is a top 5 album!!! Thank you Harrison and Rundgren for the effort in making them immortal!!!
