From sometime in the late 1970s, please enjoy Bram Tchaikovsky and an insanely great live rendition of his best known song, the transplendent "Girl of My Dreams."
On Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, of all places.
I had never seen that clip until last weekend, and I must confess I had no idea that these guys were such a kick-ass live band. The song itself, obviously, is one of the most magnificent slices of the music that provides the raison d'etre for this here blog ever heard by sentient mammalian ears.
Great song!
ReplyDeleteI once described it as "PICTURES OF LILY meets BORN TO RUN and then they all go to Spago for dinner."
ReplyDeleteGobsmacked!!!
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING I like about rock+roll is right there.
Wait till you hear the track of his I'm posting tomorrow. A critic friend of mine sent it to me this morning and my jaw is still on the floor.
ReplyDeleteGreat song, a very weird audio mix!

The original studio recording wasn't produced that well if I recall. A little tinny and muddy.
ReplyDeleteFound it with better sound quality:

Great stuff!
With a 2nd song: Lady from the USA
ReplyDeleteLove it. You are right this has so much more energy than the studio. And they pull the vocals off pretty well live.
ReplyDeleteHow is there not a Ric 12 on this???
ReplyDeleteI’ve always wondered that myself.
ReplyDeleteMy band plays this song and nobody knows what it is. We play it anyway.
