I had a friend from Germany that told me about alot of these bands. I used to go over to his place and spend hours listening to this stuff. It was great,and still is. Thanks,Alvin Schmidt for the good times.
...follow us on Kickstarter - after a short break of 40 years we start again...
GREAT BAND. THANKS FOR POSTING.👍🥃
The lead singer was actually one on my professors at a Silicon Valley program called High Tech U at Intel Corp. HQ. He was a cool guy who actually has a PHD and patents in the U.S.

Unreal drummer in this band. Their song "Drugs" is insane
very very good old band...............................................................
Funny how everybody's heard of the British invasion of rock bands in the 1960's,but nobody seems to have noticed there were a LOT of really good bands coming out of Germany in the 1970's.
I honestly, as an all-over, like the german "invasion" better. Clearly som elf the biggest names did come from the UK, but so much great stuff from Germany.
you mean krautrock?
I think the deeper rock community properly acknowledges all the great talent that came out of Germany at that time. Gift, Lucifer, Amon Düül, Parzival and the list goes on in various genres: all super music. There are however 2 problems, that makes krautrock less appealing compared to the British alternative:
1) Many german rockbands were "copiers". That doesn't mean they weren't able to produce equally fantastic music, but they weren't the "new wave", that always felt unique, they were 1-2 years behind of what happened in the mainstream scene. This track for example was recorded in 1974 - that year even bands like Deep Purple were moving to more "hard rock" vibes, and punk was becoming a thing.
2) Altough they mostly sang in English - and I must note, with almost perfect English - the lyrics were clearly wrote with German minds. And unless someone is a native-speaker, it takes years of practice to express yourself in an ornate style in a different langue. The British obviously didn't had this problem and they even borrowed a lot from the American blues in terms of lyrical themes (think of the Rolling Stones), that was both simple to understand, yet full of metaphors and other (almost folk-like) poetrical elements.
So far I know, Frumpy was on a UK Tour, but Inga Rumpf is an exception at all. Some Bands were not mentioned. Jane and the Album "Together" were quite successful. Then Birthcontrol with Gammaray, even politically up to date now. I also liked stuff like Big City from Thirsty Moon. Randy Pie played the american style Funk earlier than Mother's Finest came here to their legendary Rock Palast Gig. Bad English yeah great stuff already on the first Eloy Album, but Frank Bornemann says himself English was his handycap, Scorpions same, but Americans like Gomorrha (I turned to see whose Voice....) horrible The Lords but they were honest and said themself so. But I think also most Bands didn't have really good Equipment, no such Label and Management. A really exciting and very hard playing Band was Blackwater Park, anyway some might be pure Krautrock but I still prefere to listen to Ramses, Anyone's Daughter, Grobschnitt (Solar Music), Wallenstein, Karthago, Kin Pin Meh and so on instead of what I hated this jazzrock psychedelic ethno stuff like Embryo, Passport, Kraan etc.
@@profemeritus534 There are quite a few reports like video documentaries about this era. Also many Band members are looking back now. German Rock was not supported they say, not even german press and rock magazins did so. Big stories about all british and american Bands no matter if they were good or not. And just about 5 lines in a little ticker box for german Bands. If they tried to live from making music , they had to go to the job centers if the income was short. Just like everbody who is unemployed. No artist agencies at that time where people are getting gigs for you, press interviews, fotos dates and so on. The feelings and tradition was there. American Rock N' Roll started about the same time as in America. Bill Haley and Jerry Lee Lewis and they all came here in the early fifties. I think 1956 the year I was born was the last year when a cinema was choosed for a live concert. Nobody has ever done this again. All seats were broke and the rest looked like a battlefield. They understood Rock N' Roll is no music for taking a seat. Just not like a musical or opera. Inga Rumpf and Frumpy played covers in american clubs more than likely US Army places. That gave them many gigs professionality and a good income. I got early in touch with british bands they came over here, because they could not live from making music in UK. The only album from LAZY FARMER is now high rated Folk with Rock elements. My country had a little revival or re-birth after Julian Cope published his Book about Krautrock in the 90s. He is a very good musician himself . David Bowie lived about 2 Years in Berlin. And we keep really old american Bands alive. If you want to watch Big Brother (Janis Joplin*s Band) come here.
Tausend Dank für die wohlwollenden Kommentare - unser Entschluss, eine neue Produktion zu starten, stand schon vor der Millionärswahl fest, unabhängig vom Ergebnis.
awesome man
What a gem!!
Ja Ja Augsburg rockte auch in den frühen 70ern mit zwei Gift Platten mit. Thanxxx for post
GIFT rocks on - es geht weiter
thanks rainer for your great music . a fan from italy
Version 2014 :
Gift Got to find a way 2014
I like this song; the perfect changing of rhythm in the middle and the energic and powerful begin and end. High creativity everywhere; excellent progrock which is my fav. style. Thanks for sharing :)
Amaaaaaziiinggg!!!!! I love how they slow down right in the middle of the song
and then on to kick ass again!! I find a very particular and distinctive sound in these
German bands.Great stuff!! Thanks for uploading this diamond!
OMG!!One of the best songs i have ever heard!!!!
I've owned their two LPs on vinyl since the early/mid 70's...one of the many great German bands from that era...thanks for the fantastic footage!
If I recall, their guitarist Rainer Bauer was an original member of "Amon Duul" prior to the formation of "Gift".
Als Augsburger,Jahrgang '62,kommst du an Gift nicht vorbei.
War ne' geile Gruppe in 'ner geilen Zeit!!!!!
Fantástico minha raça é um ARASO MUSICAL
GEIL!
ICH LIEBE GIFT seit Blue Apple.
Super, super, supergut!
(Leider habe ich die Platte schon 1983 VERLOREN!
Auf ebay bin ich mal bei einer bei 150 Euro ausgestiegen.)
Excellent but relatively unknown !
Nice quality footage!!
OMGGGGG! asdasd Best song i've heard.
First album Gift is awesome, but Blue Apple omg *.* This is a masterpiece, that tone, that riff. Krautrock is the best
Amazing song !!!
awesome, flying V sound like nothing else
you rock !
great hard rock!
***** Die "scheiß mukke" die Gift macht ist mal wieder richtig geile Musik, die wenn man sich mit Musik auskennt sogar sehr gut gemacht ist. Das einzige Problem was Gestern vorhanden ist dass irgendein Tonfutzi von Pro7 den Gesang zu leise gemischt hat. Völlig bescheuert.
so sweeet!!!
Thanks for sharing 🤘🤘🤘
Geiles Lied! Zum Glück hab' ich gestern Millionärswahl geguckt und diese Band entdeckt. Macht auf jeden Fall weiter so! Das neue Album würde ich sofort kaufen.
Und an alle die mit ihrer Entscheidung nicht einverstanden sind: Es hätte jeden treffen können am Schluss wählen zu müssen. Die Band hat ihr Votum schon vorher gemeinsam abgesprochen. Bitte erst überlegen und dann kommentieren!
Grüsse aus der Schweiz
Kann ich dir nur 100% zustimmen!
Absolut!
PS:Floyd ist die Macht!
Rockabilly TED Allerdings! :)
thanx - Noah !
Rainer Baur ...und an alle, die uns wohlgesinnt sind
Geile Mukke alter 😁
Muitíssimo bom.
Blue Apple is a great LP!
Vereckt geil ey! Jiiiiiiiha.
Genial este clasicazo de los 70
Magnético
Very well said! and done :)
"wir geben alle 4 punkte an Sebadtian" wie fieß ist das denn bitte -.- Ralf hatte alle vier verdient um der kleinrn Neele ein riesen geschenk zu machen. echt unglaublich
Sich schauspielerisch von einem Haus abseilen zu lassen ist natürlich eine besondere Leistung.Beschwert ihr euch auch bei all den anderen Kandidaten die ihre Punkte an den letztlichen Gewinner verteilt haben?Nein , allso Fresse halten!
guter Song ;)
Love these German bands.
Haha sehe euch gerade bei der Millionärswahl:)
Cláudio Cavalcante on the drums Fantastic

neue single "shitstorm" soeben erschienen.GIFT - SHITSTORM (CD-single teaser videoclip)
3...2..1.. möge der shitstorm beginnen :)
where could i get a copy of their albums (specifically their self-titled?) on either vinyl or CD?
Where is the trade mark?
Ja, der Rainy, dees war scho a Hund damals (und natürlich heute auch noch) ! Augschburg rockt, so schauts doch aus
the singer kind of sounds like the singer of Paternoster
fantastic group.. alex. ukraine.
Holy crap ... that guy's playing a Vox Phantom bass, pretty unusual given the relatively late '74 date here, and anachronistic to say the least. Cool song though.
Does the keyboardist have a copy of one of their own albums on top of his organ? If so, that's an awesome form of self-promotion.
Warum wird hier denn so herumgejammert, was hab ich verpasst?
why did they cover their Gibsons' headstocks?
do you think they weren't?
Internet Psychopath really. The peghead and the tuners of the "335" model in this video is not the same design of the original Gibson's
me
maybe I don't care THAT much. and probably the previous comments were right, they weren't gibsons
it's no big deal man. it was just curiosity. does my curiosity change your understanding of life on earth? i don't think so. move on
That is true. German rock music doesn't get
much attention.
The Scorpions went on
to become successful.
blos weil du keinen metal vertragst brauchst du sie nicht beleidigen ..
schöner 70iger Jahre Rock. Aber die heutige Gesellschaft ist leider noch nicht soweit... Wer ist dieser Pro 7 und warum hat er soviel Geld??!
lol that bass guitar looks hilarious
The bassist looks like someone's dad in a midlife crisis
