Over 40 thousand views!! Sheesh, this is so humbling. It's regrettable that the band never had the opportunity to perform outside Australia; although it's great to see this old footage and recognise how tight the band was, it still falls short of the real live experience. We were always about the live show and weren't afraid to assault with BIG volume and attitude. It's possible of course that the very fact of our obscurity has assisted in the growth of the legend, but I'm sure seeing the band live at their peak would exceed that. Much has been made of our support slot with Black Sabbath and I've heard from many who think we "Blew them off stage"; much as I like the thought I find it hard to accept, however I'm also aware that it's all to do with individual perceptions and admit it's nice that anyone should think so. Although I avoided it for many years it's known now that I've succumbed to insistent requests to perform as "Buffalo Revisited" and assembled a fantastic line-up to do the songs justice; it's not my intention to go "on the road" again with this, but I would like to explore options to visit some of those places where the band's music is still appreciated and perform for the many fans who haven't had the chance to experience the songs live. Of course this isn't an easy thing to achieve, costs are exorbitant and it's not easy for an Aussie act to get backing for overseas tours, but I reckon that if enough people made enough noise about it it's possible some agent/promoter would see the potential and take it on. People power! Let me extend an invitation to all those commenting below, send a "friend request" to my Facebook page so you'll be aware of any happenings as they occur and just maybe we can inspire someone to make it happen. Meanwhile be well, Dave.
"Volcanic rock" from this great band is for me the second best record from Australia just after "At the mountains of madness" from the great band Blackfeather - I have McPhee at third place !!
Here we are from Brazil, and I heard this band a few years ago with a friend, but he was easy and I never heard of the band again at the time I heard it, there was no internet, he had a search cassette.
Lordie, lordie, Who is that young man warbling away and shimmying around??!! Great to see these old clips surfacing after all these years, makes me all nostalgic.
Dave Tice Thanks for the great music Dave from an old school Fan , we covered your stuff as teenagers and still jam it today. can you tell me what Johnny is doin these days ??? Cheers
diamondog99 Cheers, great to hear we made an impression that still lasts. I'm currently rehearsing a bunch of players with a plan to do some more "Buffalo Revisited" shows sometime soon. I'd be interested to know how many people would be interested in seeing the old tunes played live again. John now lives in Tasmania and I believe he still does some writing.
Buffalo's 1st 3 LPs are as good as any in the history of heavy rock and roll... PERIOD! They were criminally overlooked. Real "classic metal". Once the great John Baxter left, they were not the same. He surely is one of the greatest guitarist in heavy rock history. I sure like to know who are the 2 "dislikers"... they're probably too busy listening to Brittany Spears!
Hi Slye, Thanks for the affirmation. Big praise! I think deserve a present from me... Would you like a free CD of my latest (and only really since Buff) release NEED4LOUD/ Live2Rock! (CD rare as only unofficially released) Send your mail address to NEED4LOUD@yahoo.com.au
probably THE best of the forgotten bands from the 70's. and there are many. I heard Buffalo described as "having the misfortune of being before and after their time" This voice would have dominated rock anywhere from late 80's/early 90s to now. if their albums came out just 3 years earlier they'd be up they're with bands like Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath as those super influental rock bands. Hell, if they're albums came out in the late 70's or early 80's, they'd fit right in with Motorhead, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. the music world missed out big time with this band not going global. amazing singing.
Buffalos only want you foryour body, their third Album came out the same year as AC/DCs first LP, 1974...the first buffalo LP dead forever came out in1971 on the vertigo swirl label, but only got released inOZ and germany...or maybe 72 their best is volcanic rock which came out in 73 also on the vertigo,"swirl" label....73 was a classic year for australian heavy and progressive rock...Coloured balls,Madder lake,Mckenzie theory,aztecs,La de das,band of lightAyers rock,dingoes,...lots of great lps that year...
The ONLY time I agreed with Malcom Turnbull when he commented that this song was the best love song he knew; or words to that effect. I agree its timeless, and has soul for some 😊
Just feel so privileged to witness Buffalo live back then. One of Australia's greatest and underrated bands, who allegedly blew Sabbath off the stage. Tice (v), the great John Baxter on guitar, Wells (b) and Jim on drums. The guys from Endless Boogie loved them.
Saw this video in about 1974 when I was in high school. Became an immediate fan. Had their first four albums but lost most interest when Baxter not there.
This year marks 50years since the OWYFYB album was released and I'll be doing an anniversary gig at Marrickville Bowling club, here in Sydney, to mark the occasion on Saturday July 20th with Buffalo Revisited, a top class outfit I assembled to play the tunes along with selections from 2 of our other albums.
Thanks heaps for the reply Dave!your recollection of that WA tour reminds me of Chrissie Amphletts book..ruthless trade your in brother..just remembered something else from that night at the Wintersun hotel..your sax player told a heckling fisherman to get f****d! 😂look after yaself brother 🤗
See John Baxter NOW in 2017 in his new band NEED4LOUD, first since the '70s. Has he changed or is he still rock n rollin"? So it's 4 decades later Baxter looks a lot different but still sounds ????. Does the vocals as well. To find >>Search bar >>> NEED4LOUD
Excellent! I am ashamed to admit that I'm just recently getting into this great band that I missed growing up.. Buffalo kicks serious ass.. and this is also my favorite song by them.
Just recently heard your band for the 1st time, Dave. Australia's gain was the U.K. & rest of the world's loss. I'm sure that you would have went down a storm where I live (Newcastle upon Tyne, England), at the time. All best on getting the show back on the road. :)
As a young guy growing up in the Sydney suburbs I knew that this band were a real Rock band. Too good for the scene of the times I think. This is the kind of band that SABBATH would like.
Remember seeing you guys at Petersham Town Hall,didn't the drummer have some problems with some Sharpies jumping on stage one of those nights too..? Wasn't me,I was one of the hairies.lol. I had all your albums on vinyl& was at the Hord.Pavlova when Sabbath first toured ,just after their volume 4 album was released.For ages I thought it was ACDC that supported but must have been a 70s acid flashback,as was advised was you guys.Must have seen these guys live dozens of times.Great band/ great days.thanks heaps guys.
Yeah I remember that Petersham town Hall gig, those were the days my friend; we had our fair share of run ins with the Sharpies. As I recall we had to run off stage while the bastards were throwing everything they could get hold of at us, this because our roadie evicted one of them from the stage when he tried to play Jimmy's drums. Mind you there were other times that were actually more hairy than that, but we survived and can still laugh about it.
Destrudo, the Dead Drake of Dread From East TN, US. Was turned on to these guys when I was around 12 (1992) and only had Volcanic Rock for so long and then those proper reissues came out with a lot of the story as well as some bonus tracks.
@@bobdooly3706 If I have to explain to you the similarities with GFR, then, obviously you don't understand music. Also, Buffalo share the same style of metal as PB.
@@zachbos5108 Hendrix made some OK studio albums, but all his live playing are horrible. Live concert recordings get only one chance to be coherent and in tune. Why do you think Hendrix never made it as a real blues guitarist like the greats (BB, Buddy, Albert, etc), because he couldn't hold a candle to any good player.
Não fale bobagem, O Buffalo é o Buffalo. O som é original deles. QUem é Sabbath na fila do pão perto dos reais inventores do heavy metal? Blue Cheer, Sir Lord Baltimore, Mountain, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Buffaloos verdadeiros pais do heavy metal.
@Farkle Berry Do you have the original digital file laying around somewhere ? Could you share it ? I'd love to listen even more without the youtube compression
Love this song! Buffalo: The Aussie Grand Funk Railroad
I'm 66 and I still have the LPs and I was there at the Sabbath concert.
in sydney they blew sabbath off stage
I cant believe i am just discovering this amazing band!! So damn heavy!!! Wow 1973!!!

And we'd love to come down Bro', if there's a local venue/promoter interested let me know.

Not on a public page mate. Message me via my Facebook page so we can converse in private.
Hey Dave, "Buffalo Revisited" guitarist does an excellent job, as you would know. He gets my tick of approval...John Baxter
VOLCANIC ROCK is one of the best albums ever..
Seriously. It rocks so hard.
Buffalo are the greatest Australian band you've never heard of.
Aussie SABBATH!
@Michael Black They supported Sabbath on a tour and in many Aussie's opinions blew Sabbath away.
Not Healing Force? Daddy Cool weren't half bad, neither...

A friend just told me about Buffalo tonight... I've been missing out!
I seen these guys live. They were fantastic. My ears are still recovering 😂
yet another australian artiste i never heard of before youtube came along (i'm yankee age 55).

Saw them blow Black Sabbath off the stage at the Hordern Pavlova
Been a fan for about 20 years now

O disco Volcanic Rock do BUFFALO, é um dos discos mais espetaculares do hard rock. Feliz por eu ter esse disco
Bought both of their albums I'm hooked lol
Great Band
Pete Wells on bass.
BUFFALO Only Want You For Your Body my very first LP purchased as kid, still have it to this day - Buffalo Rules !!
Fantastc Album. Very "punkish" heavy Rock.
This year marks 50years since the OWYFYB album was released and I'll be doing an anniversary gig at Marrickville Bowling club, here in Sydney, to mark the occasion on Saturday July 20th with Buffalo Revisited, a top class outfit I assembled to play the tunes along with selections from 2 of our other albums.
I was making a mix of obscure early 70's rock and i came across these guys. 'Shylock' was the first song from them that i heard.
Amazing, they were mentioned in another videos comments, glad I searched for them
played support a couple of times at the Steve Rondo Cabramatta Community centre gigs ..

great band for the seventies
The Seventies? You mean a great band PERIOD!
If you see these on vinyl in an op shop snatch em up, this is as rare as bands get.
Saw them around this time at the Hurstville Civic Centre, they were FANTASTIC, I will never forget them............how about a reunion?
rip Peter Wells.. what a great band, and with David's strong voice he should have headed ACDC
Perth would love to see Buffalo Revisited even more since so many bands don't make it here( once this damn virus goes away). Thanx Dave, take care.

James Ferraro , hell yeah! love this!

the original guitar player & the drummer are talking about a tour at the end of the year, i will keep in touch
As a young guy growing up in the Sydney suburbs I knew that this band were a real Rock band.
Too good for the scene of the times I think.
This is the kind of band that SABBATH would like.
Buffalo toured with them in 73 I think

Re the Black Sabbath concert , I think it was AC/DC on one the nights in Sydney ,and Buffalo on the other, I think Dave could confirm if correct.
Fucking SHARPIES!
