Massive gong fan.seen em loads thru the 90s.in Manchester and liverpool.even my home town in st.helens.went up and met him after.lovely guy too.r.i.p.daevid Allen.
A glimmer here of what Gong were like live despite the 60s camera work and sound from the sax players brother. The whole essence of this number was the pounding driving rhythm section. Still thanks for posting.
But unfortunately he just died 3 days ago from a cancer...RIP. I discovered the band in the late seventies when I was 16/17 years old...Didn't listen to Gong for a long time, but lately I burnt their 2 last good albums from 2000 and 2009.
Fuck. I wish I could remember my fave Daevid Allen gig. 1987? Live in London at some sort of church in the Ladbroke Grove area. Lots of hippy/punk people being fed great free food by the most friendly locals......OH! Ladbroke Grove Tabernacle! :) It was amazing. Daevid asked us all to om the roof off and you have never seen so many people, black and white om and party so much! :)
@valmergio I don't know what it is exactly, but it's what Daevid uses for what he and Steve Hillage call "Glissando Guitar". Basically, he's using it as a slide.
No sorry, not a vibrating bar... there are magnets in there, which makes the string vibrate as long and strong you put the bow to the strings. I´d like to have one too, but they are not cheep for me.
This is amazing did you film it? seriously great footage :),I was about 5 down from the front and to see Steve Hillage back on stage with Daevid and Gylli was pure magic. Not many musicians can stick a huge grin on my face in the same way ,I think it's the fact they somehow managed to cut out all the BS and remained 'true'.to themselves as well as their freaks Lol ,fans I mean. Hugs to DA who no doubt now lives on that little green planet .....The way Steve Hillage was grinning his head off was very contagious,lovely stuff;)
Neither - it was Ian East. Chris Taylor on drums, Miquette Giraudy on keys, Dave Sturt on bass, Steve Hillage on guitar and of course Gilli and Daevid. Going to see them again in November.
Would have loved to have seen Hillage with D/A, sadly religion messed up every opportunity of this happening for me!!! Will be seeing Gong in Cardiff in a few weeks BUT wont be the same without those genius's
D.a dyathélamid acid has gone from ...the scene ...but some Lucies are still driftin' in he sky of our reality ...merKi du rire partagé et des larmes larmoyantes et des yeux rouges tels kes de poissons ...!!!

THIS IS A MADNESS, ITS REAL MUSIC!!
JUST BRILLIANT ... what an inspiration to those of us who are past 40 (and the rest) GONG still trippin out like my fuse board after all these decades
Listening to this i forget about the world around me
One of my favorite songs. RIP Daevid.
A wonderful end to a brillint gig. Thanks for posting.
At last, a gig I was at (and I bin to plenty of Gong in Manc).
Much better than the recording I did on my phone.
Love it down to the last toke
hhm
SO GOOD to hear Steve back in Gong! RIP Daevid
This man is 77 years old (as of this typing). And he still rocks! Incredible...

Joël DI DOMIZIO I heard about his passing last Friday. A sad loss for music.
I just love this band, with any lineup! Steve hillage back on guitar? Incredible.
Top man! got the kettle on
I saw them in Oslo about the same time. Master builder sounded absolutely immense live. You should go see them live if you ever get the chance.
great music
Nice one.Seen them at the O2 in Glasgow the night before with Space Ritual supporting.
love the bloke who shouts fucking hell in the break around 5 mins
Epic

Yes, you're right.
see them in brum next monday
@valmergio I don't know what it is exactly, but it's what Daevid uses for what he and Steve Hillage call "Glissando Guitar". Basically, he's using it as a slide.
It's called an E-Bow, Edge uses them a lot. It's like a vibrating bar that makes the notes sustain.
No sorry, not a vibrating bar... there are magnets in there, which makes the string vibrate as long and strong you put the bow to the strings. I´d like to have one too, but they are not cheep for me.

Not jealous at all! I mean really jealous.
Medibles kicking in
I was there :-)
That bassline...
I think you're right! at 1:57 he screws it to the bridge...
It's for the effect of "glissando guitar" that Mikemaniax wrote below...
recuerdos sicodelicos...........intenso y mistico.........
bliss it is! do u remember?
Only Hillage is using the E-Bow. Allen is doing the glissando technique with him whammy bar.
Wonderful live with steve hillage on gutar
@marcfedak AGREED

cheese makes u trip
Awesome. Daevid Allen has been at this since the mid 60s. A good opening band would be Butthole Surfers.
gong это просто полет крыши без шифера во вселенной
geil .............
Da original
A band who touched the godhead.
D.a dyathélamid acid has gone from ...the scene ...but some Lucies are still driftin' in he sky of our reality ...merKi du rire partagé et des larmes larmoyantes et des yeux rouges tels kes de poissons ...!!!

+Booniums Me too,! x
I was'nt. Too fare away. Shit big world. So much different big countries. Shit lovely different people.
Shit glade! Gong is here
Is that Theo Travis or Didier Malherbe on sax?
Bloomdido
Neither
at 0:52 what is that thing he holds in his right hand?
Too bad the drums don't sound as crisp as they ought to. I still can't figure out the beat. Steve's guitar - awesome as usual.
glissindo guitar is when you use a glass rod on the strings.
:)
videod by the bass players boyfriend.
Religious fanatics
les grandes sont dans la fromage la acid hahahaha
The camera is a complete mess.
Be quiet.
Listen
