[@MarkJones-vv3do]

Part of this interview was issued by the Gong Appreciation Society on the cassette, 'Over the Top' in around 1979.

I remember jonhy G A S .....👍

[@susanbednar4871]

Rest in eternal happiness and lovely madness :) !

[@ProgressiveRock1970s]

At least he was sane enough to choose a ridiculously talented group of supporting musicians.

[@paultoner01]

Saw him many times before the split in my early teens.... what a start! Inspirational!

[@ElSmusso]

Radio Gnome :)
I remember loving his madness, flying teapots & Gong in the 70s

[@daevidetallien1414]

The whole world loves your life.
You are GONG
RIP
Bye

[@madkrull]

thanks for sharing!

[@wholeworld399]

'It's true what Robert (Wyatt) said, ("After a while a band becomes a boring sponge full of white whet cheese.")." Remembered this interview from way back. . Does anybody have the Soft Machine (quartet) radio interview? Missed the Gong lineup, but saw Daevid's Twelve Selves tour 1991. RIP

[@whitelabelproduction]

Genius man

[@PeterGoggz]

I dont think they will ever replace Daevid

[@burmesecolourneedles4680]

[@TwistedAnvil]

My God! Daevid is awesome! :D

[@FaceBat]

Hillage WAS on all three trilogy LPs...he's listed in the credits. But he wasn't a founding member (he's not on Camembert Electrique).

[@Spillage66]

"My name's not Spillage! It's H Hillage!"
My name's Spillage though! :)

[@PolyesterMoustache]

Hearing him speak reminds me of Sun Ra.

[@jebstewart666]

never noticed before the grateful dead tune playing at the top of this interview. but he is right: it is all gong, if it wants to be. truly zero is the hero and nothing is nothing.

[@TheContactUnit]

Never noticed that either, thanks for drawing my attention to it.

[@whitedwarf13]

Amusing when Daevid is told that Tim Blake has 'left' Gong!

And gone back to Hawkwind.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

@ He wasn't in Hawkwind prior to Gong. They were all nuts! In the nicest possible way. Different, better times. Using your imagination was encouraged and thinking for yourself wasn't a threat to National Security! Lol. Although Hawkwind Did have to withdraw 'Urban Guerilla' after Nik Turner got done over by the Bomb Squad! 'I am an Urban Guerilla, I have bombs in my cellar....' Yeah you guessed it! It isn't Us that haven't moved on, it is Them! 'They' always have been a little slow on the Uptake

[@whollyspokes3645]

Tim Blake was the sound man for Hawkwinds first gig ......

[@andrewcottam]

Wait a sec? Didn't Miquette Giraudy replace Tim Blake long before Daevid Allen left Gong?

[@h808]

[@losttango]

Kind of dishonest if you ask me, to attribute your decisions to cosmic radio transmissions.

[@myboythom]

[@mr.evasion]

Guess that's show business. From Goons to Gong. Too silly for me. I think Mr Allien needed a break.
