- One of the takes of the original version of the song "Water On The Brain" (Allan Holdsworth) we did, from the recording sessions of the "I.O.U." album back in 1980. Never got used. Big shame! Here's a cassette copy of a rough mix of the performance, as it originally was and true to how we used to perform it in the formative days… as a song!
Allan Holdsworth - Guitars/Composer
Paul Williams - Vocals
Paul Carmichael - Bass
Gary Husband - Gretsch Drums / Zildjian Cymbals.
The Barge Studio, Little Venice, W. London.
Engineer: Andy Llewellyn
Wow. A priceless and rare piece of musical history heard for the first time for free on the internet. It's like opening up a victoria secret catalog and a Rembrandt painting no one has ever seen falls out from the center.
Well said.
Much agreed Sean!
For the first time for you.
That was a ridiculous yet amazing comment. Nicely done, sir.
The IOU Album is one of the greatest albums ever made Thanks Gary and Allan IOU guys so much!
yup,- we all ow Allan alot ,-
For several decades now .... Allan is my favorite musician in the history of the world !!
Love the total difference between Gary & Chad Wackermans approach to this tune. Both utterly brilliant.
All my favorite musicians were apparently Allan’s too!
RIP Allan, my deepest sympathies go out to Allan's family and to you Gary of course. this is such a huge loss for the (music) world... this music is almost 40 years old and still sounds centuries ahead of its time.
Amazing version. I never heard this before. Thank you so much Paul Williams. Rest In Peace.
Best band no one ever talks about. Untouchable. Anyone uncertain, grab your axe if choice and good luck keeping up...
i love this so much!!
Just when I thought that I.O.U. album couldn't get any better...wow Gary, this is f-ing incredible!
Gary, you have been my inspiration as a drummer. Always loved your style ever since I listened to your drums. So musical, so genuine. You said in one interview that you do not count beats unlike many others and that really fascinates me. You said you feel it. Your piano rendition to AH tunes is just incredible. You are the musician's musician. Thank you.
Carlos Cappellini Thanks so much sir 🙏
rewind rewind rewind rewind rewind - bloody hot that one THANKS GH you are a great man!
almost 40 years ago, and still now insuperable!!! please, someone can tell me if eventually after 40 years there is now some guitarist able to play as Allan did that time, long time ago? i think no, still today no one guitarist can play as Holdswoth. And that drumming from Gary Husband was totally innovative, they were young, thet were fantastic!!!!!!! all band! Miss Allan very much (R.I.P.) thanks Gary for this wonderful and very precious post.
man this is a treat! Thanks Gary.The music of IOU
changed my life.
Absolutely fascinating version with the vocals. Allan ripping it up as only he can.
Another Incredible and extraordinary piece by an extraordinary group.
Remember, Clones don't count!
Thanks Gary :)
Thank you very much for letting us , listen to beatiful music !!!
la musique d allan est incomparable a une autre lui seul me fais voyager autant des le premier accord c embarquement immediat pour une autre galaxie.....comme coltrane !!!!!
Gary!!!!!
Just blown away every time I play this back! Thank you Gary!
Paul Auksztulewicz Thank you Paul. Always liked this take, and even back then I was so sorry there wasn’t space for it to make the vinyl album pressing. It was one of three or so, and easily the best.
Thanks for sharing this with the world
You are an incredible musician Gary Husband . INSPIRATIONAL.
Timeless🔥 Gary is my favorite drummer ,after 47 as a pro Bassist I have bought some drums. I met you on Tour with Allan in 93. 🔥🙏❤️
This is my new favourite version of this incredible classic! Thanks, Gary!
Thanks very much for this Gary. Great photos too. I've see you with Allan on a few occasions. The Bass Cleff Club in London 1986 when Steve Topping got up with you all, Jimmy Johnson on bass and Kei Akagi on keyboard. Allan's synthaxe took up half the venue! I've got load of photos from that gig. I also met you and Allan at the sound check in Aberdeen in1994. If memory serves, you were playing the piano (very impressively) before the sound check. I still can't believe Allan is no longer with us.
"Water On The Brain, Pt 1" if you will...
R.I.P., Maestro♢
Oh! That makes sense
thanks for sharing!
i.o.u / road games / metal fatigue changed my life! and now this is my ear candy
nice piece of history, thank yo for sharing
Water On The Brain, thanks Gary
What a great performance, especially from Gary Husband who practically makes the drums explode on this one.
You sent me this and a few other bits on a CD a number of years ago and I was moist grateful.
*most
I've just been playing my rare vinyl copy of the Original IOU album actually....With tracks like 'Where is One' I'd forgotten how atmospheric it was. & ambient . When I heard 'Water on The Brain Part 2' on the Road Games album released a year later with Jeff Berlin's solo on it I always wondered where 'Part 1' was ....lol....Now all these years later I've FOUND it....Eureka ....lol .....Were some of these photos taken on 'THE BARGE' ? where IOU was recorded ? ....There is a picture of a young GARY which looks like it might be....I think Gary was a SUPERB drummer for Allan because like him he was such a GREAT IMPROVISER....Allan had always felt stultified being asked to play scripted solos & timings on other people's projects but Gary was another 'Take the improvising ball & run with it players' ...So Gary was giving Allan all the free space & latitude to honestly express himself as a musician.... Previously in bands like UK people were saying to Allan - 'That solo was so good we want you to play it EXACTLY the same' ....But to Allan that was like putting Jonathan Livingstone Seagull in a CAGE......But with GARY that prison DISAPPEARED... Gary & Allan would just say to each other - 'Lets GO & just see what happens.' ....& if anyone else said - 'But go where' ? Gary & Allan would reply -'Who care's where, We JUST GO' ! ....lol ...Yeah.👍👍👍👍👍& they created brilliant stuff.
They truly had an amazing connection. This is thrilling to no end.
Old grainy celluloid. Something that used to tell the decades apart. Gone.
Garry, first what an honor to be able to thank you for your part on the mythical i.o.u album. Probably amongst the most musical avant-garde album ever recorded. I was so glad to hear you had a big part to play in this gem from Allan. I'd really like to know (from a drummer perspective) what is the time signature of the main part (A) of Water on the brain. I figured the parts in 4/4 but something eludes me about the main groove. I do feel its a form of 7/4 alternating with something?
Biorage Thanks so much! Water On The Brain is all in 4! Despite the oddly displaced accents 😉
@@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums 😘
What an incredible version! Thanks very much!!
Amazing sounds. I've never heard this song performed with vocals before. At the start it sounds like the beginning of Shallow Sea. Thank you so much for posting this song Mr. Husband.
Awesome! What a gem!
Wow! Very cool version. Thank You!
Gosh what a nice clear version of Water On The Brain.. after years of the Road Games version, this is a breath of fresh air
All my Best.
Thank you very much for share this!
This version is really great gary,thanks for sharing..
RIP Allan and Paul😥
Замечательно ❤ экспрессиях , драйв , сила и концептуальность ! Спасибо вам за такой панк
This is unbelievable. Sounds amazing with the vocals. Would be amazing to have heard allan sing it since he composed the tune I presume.
Thanks for posting this one Mr. Husband! Too bad this one couldn't have been one of the songs released with Vault offerings. Take care.
IOU one of my favorites of all time. “Where Is One” peerless.
Just one additional thought : the double stroke roll phrases between snare and bass drum against the time feel is totally insane.
Great !!!
beautiful... magical...
love it!!
Nice version Gary! we met at the baked potato a few years back. Allan was so pleased to have you "back" and you stole the show with his blessing....I somehow play drums a bit like you....
Freddy K Thank you Freddie! 🙏
A gem.Thank you for sharing this.
I miss the the sound of tape saturation. The sound of everything is gorgeous here. Loved the way this band played together. The phrasing is so much more organic and it just makes the song come alive in a way I never got from the released version and the vocals really suit the track. Im really liking the bass😎. I’m pleased Gary put it up. It’s a banger.
This is Precious
I prefer this version rather than "Road Games" version.
Im speechless,-
Love this version!!!!!!! Gary is so on fire on this!
Great stuff Gary...thanks for sharing...keep it coming.
Wicked, sounds great!
hearing this is akin to seeing a new color, paul’s voice and allan’s guitar are one of the greatest musical pairings
THanx sooo much for sharing Gary!!! Amazing take!
Hi Gary, by far the better version. What's great about your playing is that you ALWAYS sounded like Gary Husband, no one else. I've been searching for that for a long time but it seems you found your sound and identity from the get-go. Incredibly unique. So much love for you. Frankie T.
Priceless recording !! Amazing
Jay Srinivasan Thanks Jay! 😀
thank you Gary
Out of this world!
It sounds good Gary... I hope you're doing well bro!
thank you gary! love you guys!
wow!
Still have Luna Crack lp. all the elements of in one (. V Darkness, Tempest, Juicy Lucy, S Machine, Gong, Lifetime. UK, IOU and beyond. ) ultimate landmark guitar lp) a definite supergroup. . RIP AH. .thanks IOU
How about a fully remastered version of IOU with bonus tracks and whatever else connected to that project? That album is a MILESTONE
Ale On The Brain!
Thanks very much for posting this. No disrespect to anyone else, but I really like what you did with this.
Love this!!
Beautiful!!!😎✊️
GREAT VERSION!!!
Amazing!
This is so amazing to hear (again). I'm hoping you have more rarities w/ IOU. I love all things Paul Williams! I'm sure you have heard the Dick Heckstall Smith album with Paul "A story ended" .....right?
yeah!!! choon :)
this is really interesting! wish it had made it onto the album, as much as I love the live version it probably would've made the song better known
👑 KING BLUE'S POWER ✅👂 Appreciate you more.. How's True?💞🎶
I think these young kids are going to go somewhere...who knew eh? P.S. This is QUITE an outtake. I think I like it better than the version on Road Games...
Steve Chisholm No room for it on the original vinyl! We all really liked it, so it certainly wasn’t rejected. But this how it was performed live. An actual song. With Allan singing it before Paul Williams came on the scene.
Fantastic all around, Gary. Do you have a recording with the #maestro #AllanHoldsworth singing?
@@ArtfulMindBiz Hello , try "At the edge" 1980 with Gordon Beck . You'll be surprised of the voice the Master had !
@@franks.8189 I love this one. Lovely acoustic work and honest vocals.
...❤
WOW - now this is a rare treasure!!!
And Ted Templeman hated Paul Williams!
this is CRAZY, oh my god guys, where was yours minds when you guys compose this? Holly god.
Mateus Theo Thanks Mateus! These were such memorable sessions. Allan composed this obviously but I just came up with how to approach it on drums. Was always so sad there wasn’t room for it on the original vinyl release! 🙏
In a way, Gary Husband and Paul Carmichael are lucky to have left California before the ugly chaos of Templeman, Van Halen and Warner Brothers.
Howdy, I saw the tour with Jeff Berlin when you rolled through Cleveland.
Are these pictures from "The Barge" Recording Studio? Where would I find more Barge pics & equipment list???
Hi, never toured with Allan in the US with Jeff playing bass. Wouldn’t have been me if Jeff was there.
Yes private pics of IOU album recording. No, no more pics to hand right now
👍
Effing brilliant. Sounds like David Bowie fronting UK!
Gonna call my recent project BROWN STUDIOS
That's a photo of my ticket stub for the Bottom Line show with Larry Coryell. Allan signed the back of the stub for me.
Gary, do you recall playing piano in a duet with Allan? What was the tune--if I am correct, it was a song of yours (for your father, perhaps?). Really jogging my memory.
Mike Neer Sure do! Except it was a duet between piano and vocal by Paul Williams and not with Allan. I wrote the piece “Song For My Father” (well remembered!) and Paul wrote some really nice lyrics for it, and we used to do it at all the band’s early shows.
Ah yes, thanks for that.
Yo are there more of these floating around?
🙂
Can anyone tell me the lyrics? I can't understand at all u_u
Gazza was there right from the beginning
1:08~ ALAN - - - mistake ALLAN - - - OK
Rediculous!
