In my opinion, Ruphus is one of the best Norwegian bands of the 70s, worthy of standing in the same row with such teams as Junipher Greene, Titanic and Aunt Mary. Colored Dreams is a great song with hard rock guitar riffs, Hammond and a cool duel between Rune Sundby and vocalist Gudni Aspaas, whose vocals involuntarily evoke the famous Inga Rumpf...
Unfortunately the Norwegian elite looked with disgust upon the heavy rock experiments of the 70´ties Norwegian rock scene. Almost all bands were pushed to make softer and more "advanced" music, which led to the near destruction of the Norwegian rockscene. The immense pressure scared Ruphus so much that they never dared to release another heavy rock song. From then on Ruphus went on to make soft polished jazz in a complete betrayal of their fans.
Only pity is that this is from a spell of time where Gudny Aspaas wasn't with them (she was in and out of the band several times during the seventies...). It was Sylvi Lillegaard who sang for them at this point, and she doesn't hold a candle to the mighty Gudny(!).
Gudny Aspaas was so gorgeous..

Good performance and good vid, nice to see the Scandinavian Rock scene of the time.

Nice to see them performing!!!
Gudny Aspaas !!
Artig å se, bortsett fra elending filming .. Undertegnede var organist til venstre i bildet og ble aldri zoomet en eneste gang. Skammelig :)
Fully agree with you, Haakon. Nevertheless it's nice to see this and I am grateful to NRK for opening their archives to the public.
Skittøft! En av mine favorittlåter, og jeg var tre år gammel den gangen :)
hei Graf. Hvorfor gikk det saktere og saktere i tempo?
Hammondorgel er så KONGE!!!
@@AlfOfAllTrades Var der, 8 år, men blei slept tel dokkeunderholdninga. Blei sur a' den grunn'. Forståeli' nå, ser jeg. At jeg blei sur, mener jeg.
VERY VERY GOOD..................................................
Hun er lite i forgrunnen på akkurat dette opptaket, men Gudny Aspaas... For en vokalist, ass!
Norges beste rock-vokalist for altid!
Favorittvokalist! Aspaas, assa. Fønki.
Der var jeg :-)
Cool!!!!
This is giving many Jefferson Airplane vibes because the dual vocalists.
Herrlig å se tilbake til da det ble spilt skikkelig rock og ikke den pikepopen som lages i dag.
The band Jefferson Airplane never was.

The year after this, they put the hole show to an arena for control... (to much "hasjis and acid"")..
It would be really awesome if their full NRK TV performance were put back up on TH-cam. Why was it taken down?
You are right, it even has been taken down from the NRK TV archives website. But it is still available here: facebook.com/watch/?v=4125205154219221

Studio version is better
