I went to one of Gong's 50th anniversary gigs in 2019. I don't think there was anyone on stage over the age of 45, but unbelievably, it was the same band I saw in 1974 and a few times since. At least it sounded it - top class musicianship, six part harmonies for one song, same vibe, same thrill. See them if you get a chance - they were touring with Steve Hillage. After the phenomenal1974 show in Preston, my mate and I found a lost Count Bloomdido Bad de Grasse in the subway under the Guildhall, trying to navigate the labyrinth back to the car park. Easily done, I almost lost the car there once. Nice guy.
Steve Hillage spelled inside out is Gong. Gong spelled sideways is nog. I like to drink nog. Gong's music played backwards while drinking nog makes your mind implode.
GONG the great band. Fusion Music, Experimental and Space Rock . Spectacular Performance. I love the style of creation music. Congratulations GONG. Greetings from Ecuador.
That struck me too, these veterans may look a bit older but the music hasn't aged nor their ability to play it. Allen sings just as well as always, and Malherbes doudouk is just perfect. What an intro he made!
Nothing wrong with a Hippy. The most trusted of all species, nothing fancy, not too greedy, just people loving life. Bring back the Hippy movement. PLD (Peace, Love, Dope.)
43 now. Hippie by personal choice after the 90s which re-emphasized the values of the 60s. I had some spectacular times at free festivals and impromptu raves on private land (non destructive and respectful) in the early 90s. We had a really tight and large group. It was a proper community. I'll never forget those days and then the Criminal justice act came in made parties like that illegal. Damn shame. Thatcher wrecked Britain. We soldier on. Luv and Peace.
I Gong sono un gruppo di rock progressivo fondato dal musicista australiano Daevid Allen, precedentemente membro dei Soft Machine. Il loro stile è talvolta catalogato anche come space rock ed ha uno strettissimo legame con la scena di Canterbury. Una delle caratteristiche più particolari del gruppo è l'incredibile anticonformismo dei suoi membri (a partire da Allen), e la variopinta "mitologia" messa in scena nei loro testi.

Only just now discovered GONG!!! Saw ad for new box set on Google news of all places... I was intrigued so thought I would check them out... Yeah wow what a fantastic art/music collective!! Wish I had known about them sooner! But now I can dig deeply into their catalog and get freaky and groovy whenever I want to take a wild trip to the unknown realms without even dropping hallucinagins!!! 😵😱😨👽👾🤖👻👁️👁️
this is great! love it! wonderful performance. love the guy who is wearing shades with extra flip up lenses of, er, more shades, i guess just in case he needs it. this is what is best about youtube. these little gems that we would otherwise miss. other peoples closets that spill forth a treasure trove of wonder, beauty, and the assorted lone sock. great stuff. thanks to all involved in making the music and making the post. loved this!
Les lunettes je les aient offertes à Mike, à Didier j’avais donné une chemise violette avec des étoiles blanches elle était un peu longue et son épouse lui a raccourci car elle avait l’impression qu'il portait des couches, elle m’a bien fait rire, ce sont des musiciens fantastiques et des amis merveilleux, du pur amour et bel et bien un art de vivre !
😎🕉️ 🎙️TOP 1000 Radio AG IA3DFREE DAEVID ALLEN 13th January 1938 - 13th March 2015 It is with great sadness that we report the passing away of the great Daevid Allen, for many years the leading light in the anarchic collective Gong. Daevid lost his long battle with cancer, and the world is a little less sunlit as a result. Daevid Allen was the kind of mercurial, inspiring individual whose free-thinking nature positively touched the lives of all who came into his orbit. When the Australian-born Allen first arrived in England in late 1960, he ended up as a lodger in the home of Robert Wyatt’s parents; the first Beatnik to be seen in the Kent countryside. Allen brought a glimpse of a different world and way of living to Wyatt and his friends, and later, as a founder-member of British psychedelic pioneers Soft Machine, added his unique vision to British rock music at the time. It is as a founder-member of the sprawling collective Gong that Allen will be most closely associated; born out of the Paris Spring Commune of 1968, their debut album Camembert Electrique was memorably released in the UK in 1974 on the nascent Virgin Records label for the price of a vinyl single. Gong were never blessed with a stable line-up; Allen left the band in the mid-seventies, but reformed Gong in the early nineties. The latest Gong album - I See You - was released late in 2014, and was greeted with universally glowing reviews, a brilliant restatement of Allen and the band’s enduring musical and lyrical values. Although Daevid Allen’s death at the age of seventy-seven is a sad loss, his lasting legacy - an unapologetic desire to live, explore, entertain and inform through his remarkable body of work, outside of the world of the everyday - will live on. 😎🕉️ 🎙️TOP 1000 Radio AG IA3DFREE
damn did I write this comment, or was it you?, don't just answer that one, think very very very carefully about it first.... okay it was me as it happens, but next time it may not have been,,,, i have to go now my egg has boiled and its party time again, i am having an egg to celebrate being here rather than there. or was it here and now? p.s my camebert is electric these days, it's far cheaper that way.
The best concert I ever went to was Gong, Manchester University Student's Union circa 1976. The audience literally refused to leave the venue with encore after encore, the house lights on and the manager imploring the audience to leave.
@@rich9619 Hi, Rich. How about Ozric Tentacles (I'm fond of 1990's 'Pungent Effulgent'). And what about Soft Machine. I rather like 1975's 'Bundles'. Both bands still active in some form.
Hi Nick,thanks for replying...funny I just started checking out Ozric..I think I'll like them a lot. I will search out Soft Machine bundles too. I've come across the name so many times but never listened. Hard rock is my favorite but I like spacey stuff and music off the beaten path sometimes. Thanks, Rich
Mike Howlett is an amazing bass player. He was an incredible asset to the band. Allen had a knack for finding the perfect musicians to this band. Hillage, Moerlen and Blake all had independent success after being in Gong.
I was lucky enough to become friends with this group of geniuses in the 90s ... They were not stuck up rock stars they were the warmest people I've ever met. Spending hours in a van drivng Daevid to different shows was a real experience ...Gilli was THE MOTHER OF EVERYTHING ! They are deeply missed . Rest in SPACE my dear friends !!!
Back in Turkey surely or its 1972? Very colourful. Hippies indeed. What are they, where are they? Where have all the hippies gone one by one. I thought these guys had vanished too. Younger, better instruments. Affluence. Now my heads bin done in." The magic of YT." Surely this was one of their songs. I will check?
@@nattynat872 Somewhere I had been before but only remembered it when I got there, but for the life of me I cant remember where it was, now I am going to have to look it up
Está canción me la compartió una chica de Colombia que conocí en una playa Oaxaqueña, nos dimos un porro y empezamos a compartir música en una madrugada. Nice trip.
Daevid is a good underrated guitarist.... I suppose all the gnome stuff puts some people off....I never felt GONG were trying to prove anything....it was just about being there and fun.... very tight band when they wanted to be....
RIP Daevid. Long live Gong!
I rewatch this more than any other video on youtube.

Daevid allen died in 2015 I believe
@@chrisohanlon69 He did, and the current Gong paid homage to him with "You Can't Kill Me".
Ich sage euch: Wenn ihr euch dabei wohl fühlt, dann ist es für euch. Jeder hat seine Entscheidung.
@@schnickschnack305 I was comfortable with it.
Steve Hillage spelled inside out is Gong. Gong spelled sideways is nog. I like to drink nog. Gong's music played backwards while drinking nog makes your mind implode.
The little minute gong coughs and clears his throat.
I heard that gnog is a very popular beverage at the rest stop between the spaces
🤣
It don't get much better than this. Musicianship, groove, and you can dance to it.
La présence Didier Malherbe dans Gong est comme le citron confit dans le tajine...il nous manque tellement quand il n'est pas là.

A dead duck!!??
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 a head fuck!
Not an Armenian Duduk but perhaps a Serbian Duduk? It has a flattened end block.....but i know little about these things. Key of G?
At least you start "Duduk" with a capital letter.... Now let's work on the beginnings of those sentences.
This song is fucking amazing, takes me to another world
They really do seem a timeless bunch. Fantastically accomplished.

Does it mean that I was tripping?
what that first instrument?
a flute of somesort?
