I find myself at home after going to a cutout record store and buying records I had no idea who they were, $.99c and finding a gem like this, FUCKING AWSOME. (70S) I'm talkin bout✌️✌️✌️
All respect to Pedro, with his cowboy-hat in this video. Rest in peace. Beginning of age of 14 with a permission of a law man to be a part of a band. And after that all of his story is a history of Finland.
Jesus Christ! Pedro is a magician! Well, duh, obviously. Look at his moustache and The hat. This is easily in my strictest top ten favourite synth solos...or any solos for that matter, and I have to listen this every day. Even if I don't like the song too much(big fan of the Wigwam, but not my favorite songs)! I need to get a hat like that to see if I could ever pull such a magic out of it! Rechardt is always a pleasure to listen too.
How come this band never made it outside Finland. i always loved them, have everything they ever did and I have to thank an English freind who lived in Finland for intriducing me to them. Genius !!!!!!!
Löysin tämän kappaleen joskus 2011-2012 asuessani ulkomailla. Tämä oli minun loppuyön biisi viinin tai oluen kanssa Suomi-ikävään. Oli silloin ja on nyt, kun vaimo ja lapsi nukkuvat, kuuntelen tätä kuulokkeilla ja nautin vielä sen illan viimeisen. Täysin uskomaton veto edelleenkin. Suuri kiitos YLElle että ovat taltioineet tällaisen kappaleen suomalaista kulttuurihistoriaa. Etenkin kitarasoolo tuo kylmät väreet.
One of my favorite songs of all time. That solo organ part that transfers so smooth to the guitar solo. And what a great fucking guitar part...what a hero. That guitar is so fucking warm 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Se on se vahvistin enemmän kuin kitara tai sen mikit (vaikket siitä mitään sanonutkaan). Vanha kunnon 1970-luvun soundi. Vaikka kyllähän nykyäänkin on noita kitara- ja vahvistintrendejä, niin hyvässä kuin pahassakin. Tuohon aikaan vaan ei huonoja kamoja tainnut kauheasti olla liikkeellä ja jonkun 1950-luvun Les Paulin sai käytettynä muutamalla sadalla dollarilla.
Iskäni soitti tätä mulle uutena vuotena (2022) kun olin 15 vuotta. Wigwam on nyt yksi lempi bändeistäni ja olen kiitollinen isälleni siitä, että hän jakoi musiikkimakuaan kanssani. Nää biisit antaa jotenkin nostalgiaa ajalle, jona en elänyt.
Ei se ole nostalgiaa aikana jona et elänyt, se on musiikkia joka ei ole käynyt koneen läpi kuulostaakseen tietyltä. Nää tyypit teki musiikkia taidoilla, ei paljoa painanu oliko sähköt vai ei. Se tulee sielusta, se koskettaa ja pistää pään toimimaan. Isäsi tarjos sulle varmaan parhaan lahjan mitä voi kellekkään tarjota. Hyvän musiikin.
Ah yes , Rekku may have been underrated here in the states but those who heard his fine guitar work that was certainly not the case. He is one hell of great guitarist & even his Snakecharmer LP shows such a fine talent as with the entire band. Just an opinion but Jukka Tolonen & Rekku were two the the best players to come out of the 70's . Neither got the credit they deserve especially Jukka. Jim Pembroke was such a fine writer as well as the rest of this outstanding band. Shame they never came to the States , at least i got the chance to see Jan Akkerman with Focus back in 72 , the only time i believe they came here. For any guitar geeks out there Pekka is playing a custom built guitar with a Hoyer neck with the neck pickup in reverse for that old out of phase Peter green tone . Got that Les Paul style body but it's not a Gibson.
Suomessa on metallibändeissä aika hyviä, kuten sanonta kuuluu, vetäjiä. :) Suomessa nousi 70 - luvulla useita tyyppejä ihan kansainväliselle tasolle, mutta punk sekoitti sitten kaiken 10-15 vuodeksi.
I still remember when I first heard this song in 2018 . The view was 100000 views. Now after 4 years its jumped to half million views. Even 4 years passed and I still did not get bored from listening to this amazing music.
Song is one of the best ever.. and guitar solo too ! Rip Letti-Jim ! I am glad I saw Wigwam several times during their revival tours after year 2000 or so....get the cd "Wigwam plays Wigwam" !
I first heard this about 1975 on the Wicked Ivory album (1972) which J Pembroke put out under the name of Hot Thumbs O'Riley. Loved it then, love it now. In fact, I was playing the album (Wicked Ivory) just a few hours ago and shared it with a muso friend who had never heard it before. Superb.
Ihan mahtava bändi. Olin katsomassa Wigwamia Jyväskylässä kuluneella viikolla. Parasta mitä olen kuullut suomalaisilta ikinä. Tälle bändille soisi paljon enemmän näkyvyyttä ja kuuluvuutta mediassa. Kiitos!
Bra kommenterad..Ja-a Mä katoin sitä touhua tvstä å fyfan va ti skit music! Wigwam denna låt e UNIVERSALISK BÄST .. Grass for blades nominerad till det, Jag vet!
Just excellent keyboarding throughout and interesting watching him adjust the various sounds leading into the guitar's players killer solo...magnifique! \|/
Exactly! Transition from keyboard solo to guitar solo is wonderful. Wigwam at its best was so good some thought seriously it must be the best band in the world.
I met him when I was little. He was playing accordion with another artist who I asked to sign an autograph. Pedro insisted on signing his autograph as well, lol.
Ollaan onnellisia että tämä on TALLENNETTU..omituista kyllä tähän huomaan palaavani aina joidenkin aikojen perästä. Taitaapa olla parasta suomalaisosaamista tällä sektorilla.Radio ja TV tunkee korviini cheekkiä ja Elastista,,helpotus on kun kaivaa tuubista Wigwamia..
+Belaic ništa čudno...volin istraživati glazbu..ima toliko dobrih stvari na svitu.šteta se uglaviti samo u jedan žanr a ne gledati i slušati oko sebe..
Yessir, The Wigwam should have been bigger, but alas, if they became huge, would it have been the same? Look at what happened to Genesis, Yes, and other "cultish" groups who went on to broaden the audience. Would we not say, "Yep. they sold out too!" Fantastic footage and I thank the poster for this awesome piece!
Dave Toscano The greatest reason I wish Wigwam would have gotten famous, is that they could have been put on film. Footage of Wigwam with Pohjola and Gustavson, or with Nikamo and Huldén for that matter, that has surfaced to this day is next to nothing. Only two years after Pohjola left Wigwam, he joined Made In Sweden, which performed on Musikladen, and the whole show can be seen today. And to hammer it down, press releases at the time praised Wigwam's live performances as magnificent and indescribable.
@@ToveriJuri I love both the old Genesis and the stuff with Phil Collins too. I grew up in the 80s and never would have found about the old Genesis if they hadn't become popular with Phil
Tää on kyllä parhautta. biisi joka vaatii että keskittyy kuuntelemaan mutta kun syventyy tähän niin aivan loistavaa settiä. Muita väheksymättä, kitaristin näkökulmasta rekulta kyllä todella sielukasta soittoa. Niinkun koko bändiltä. El fantasitico!
Tnx Yle for recording this purely magical peace of art. Only Rekku could put this much intensity into his guitar playing, wow. And like always, Ronnie gave his absolutely huge and humble drumming, R.I.P. Pedro's synth solo is also amazing, though the synth sound is somewhat corny ;). Jim´s vocals also suits here like a binky into the mouth, which was not the case in every Wigwam song. This easily belongs to my 10 absolutely best videos list.
I was in my teens at the time, but went to bars at 15, because I had a beard. As far as I remember, the best prog bands in the Nordics were Wigwam and Blues Section, thanks largely to Pembroke (RIP).
Aivan parasta, kuuntelen tätä lähes päivittäin, oli aikoinaan elämys nähdä bändi yo-talolla Tampereella ja viime kesänä live lab. Parasta progea mitä suomessa koskaan on tehty. ❤
Very nice track, this. Although I've been with prog rock right through from the late 60s, Wigwam have somehow eluded me. I'd heard Tasavallan Presidentti and, sadly, wasn't too impressed - somewhat tuneless and directionless, I felt (and for prog rock generically, the absence of keyboards was not helpful in getting my approval!) So I didn't check out any more Finnrock bands until now. But having read a review of their music in Record Collector, I decided to give them a go. Well, this was the first thing I came to, and it won't be the last... THIS IS MORE LIKE IT!!! At first, I was seeing them as a kind of Finnish Focus... then the vocalist came in over the guitar, and I was instantly reminded of the great and hugely underrated Rare Bird vocalist Steve Gould - no mean comparison! But then the lengthy instrumental section started, and initially I was thinking, Hey, Caravan - brilliant! But then the guitar joined in with the soloing, and the whole atmosphere clarified into... Camel! What a fabulous combination. The guys obviously did their homework, and learned well from the masters. Checking this track out on Discogs, it seems to be a complicated story, but is basically a song from their '77 Dark Album, which was only included on later issues and CD reissues. But now I'm interested, so I'll check out some of the material from the 70s, and see what it was that got everybody but me interested - in those days, I was so deeply into Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP, Greenslade, Van der Graaf Generator, Brand X, Rare Bird, Starcastle, Tomita, Tangerine Dream and Todd Rundgren, that there was really no time for much beyond (other than my eternally guilty pleasure, the Beach Boys! Although I'm not quite sure just why I should have to feel guilty about liking them). Great song, good band, thanks for getting me pitched up with the rest of the camp, even at this late stage!
Live version of this song was always better than the studio version that was from Pembrokes solo album. There's another wonderful live version of this song on the Wigwam's album Live Music from the Twilight Zone.
Kyl Kingston wall on 1 mutta tuohon aikaan ei näkynyt fogaa walliii, näin viikko ennen kuolemaa sen Sörkan metsä bileissä oli bocun kanssa laatu 3 metrin välein vittu onnex tuttu puukotti sen myrkyttäjän pias monen tyypin elämän no Musa Ei lopu koskaa
Rest in peace Pedro Hietanen (1949-2023) - you and your moustache will be forever missed and never forgotten. Thank you for all the soul, effort and sweat you always put in the music you played! 😥
Amen brother!
Wigwam are a fucking amazing band-easily one of the better prog bands of all time
Youre right, but check out also Kingston Wall..
Great live band..
I can't believe I haven't heard of this band before. This is beautiful and mesmerizing.
Not surprizing, they were fukken niche :)
This is amazing song 🥰❤️
