I used to be a member of the Gong household in 1975/6. This stuff used to go on all the time in rehearsals at La Maison du Gong in Witney. Very very psychedelic.

@@royferguson3909 Yep! Still happy and healthy. Had so many great times with Gong in the 1970's back in the UK. Seems like another age now. Bumped into Daevid again unexpectedly back in the 1990's when he was busking at Paddington Markets in Sydney, during hard times career - wise!! Then he reconnected with the Gong family and had some renewed success before retiring back here.Spoke to Daevid a few times here in Oz before he passed.

It really was something special, you could feel it in the room as Daevid & Gilli worked their magic.

Have seen the band name Gong for years but had no idea of the music. Then this video came up in the right hand column, I was "WTF is THAT on the thumbnail?" I decided to watch, and I have become a convert based upon this one video and the groove & performance contained therein. Immediately sought out Angel's Egg, and then started backward towards Magick Brother. Thus far I've heard em up to & including "You". Camembert Electrique is I think my favorite, blown away by the alternate reality, the musicianship, the humor, the otherworldliness. Daevid, Gilli & crew really created something special and I look forward to discovering more as I go - call this video the 'gateway drug to Gong'! Bravissimo & RIP Daevid & Gilli...

Daevid Allen, I just want to say thank you so much for making a huge change in many of our lives. Not only did you add coloring to this world with music, but also with your amazing humour. We are heartbroken by the news that the time has come, It sucks that most of us (including myself) never got the chance to meet you in person, but regardless, you will always be in our hearts, and we wish you the safest most peaceful remaining six months that life have given you to enjoy. Indeed, enjoy those six months and live it to it's fullest, like there's no tomorrow. You have given us so much that you deserve more than that amount of time for yourself and your family. Eventually we will see you again in Planet Gong, and you will forever have our love and support. Farewell. Best Wishes, Kevin

We are heartbroken by the news that the time has come, It sucks that most of us (including myself) never got the chance to meet you in person, but regardless, you will always be in our hearts, and we wish you the safest most peaceful remaining six months that life have given you to enjoy. Indeed, enjoy those six months and live it to it's fullest, like there's no tomorrow. You have given us so much that you deserve more than that amount of time for yourself and your family. Eventually we will see you again in Planet Gong, and you will forever have our love and support. Farewell. Best Wishes, Kevin

Those hats! I'll never forget tripping on mushrooms 3 feet in front of this freak on Halloween night at Berbati's Pan (Portland OR) 1996.! The stage was only up to my shin. Best concert EVER! The show was billed (literally printed on the tickets) A Psychedelic St Paddy's Day with The Legendary Gong.
Fanastic video! Whatever other music I've been into over the years, the magic of Gong has always been with me. Great musicianship, fun, spirituality, positive vibes and originality all in one unique package :-) Eccentric he may be by traditional standards, but Daevid is one of the most wise and together people I have ever had the fortune to come across in this mad world!

The real gong show, gnomesayin'
I'd like to thank everyone for all the great, entertaining comments on here. I've read them all. Glad you enjoyed!!
Used to go on camping trips in the late 80s we used to go meet our man for a fresh strip of strawberries 🍓 then onto the camp fire with our ghetto blaster with all our gong cds at the ready ☮️✊🏽
Fantastic! Thank you Roddy from Ireland who introduced me to them a long time ago!
Think I MAY have mentioned this before? But I was SO lucky as a 15 year old to see Gong with Camel at the Stadium Liverpool . . . . .AND with the blessed Clare Murphy . . . .WOW, eh? .... HAAAAAAAAA

How did I not know this band before? This is some of the best psych/jam/fusion stuff I've heard. Although the silly hats and dance moves, I could do without. ;-)

what if you loved them back then but not until this youtube video did you know they did silly hats and dance moves
Saw them at Windsor Park festival in the 70’s. Just before they started a guy from the Release tent came on to the stage and announced that someone was selling really bad acid, called Head Sunshine. I’d just swallowed a tab. It was a mixed day for me.
The ultimative best Band that ever existet. Long live the Planet Gong! I loved Punk, I adored Metal, I digged deep in Industrial Sounds, but nothing could hold the Candle to GONG!
The drummer is absolutely awesome!!!
Gong is still a great live band. Maybe not as "crazy" but still sound awesome and very fresh. See them if you ever get a chance.
Awesome! - an old friend of mine who is no longer with us introduced me to the Genius of Gong about 25 years ago with the epic Radio gnome invisible part 2 - flying teapot masterpiece and still a big fan after many a mind fuzzing late night. Cheers Graham wherever your soul maybe now.
I’ll admit I came to take the piss out of the old hippies. Then I came back again. And again. And again. Now......makes me want to hear more of them. Wherever Daevid is now I’m sure he’s pleased he’s got a convert.
Classic Gong, love it. R.I.P. Daevid.
Divided Alien got out of this world through a hole in space. We'll meet sometime again, hopefully on the flying teapot in the future or past. Can't tell.
Top notch, the one and only Gongsters, big part of my musical life - nothing quite like them. Their modern lineup is still doing good gongsongs in the right spirit. RIP Dave and Gilli, see you on the other side of the teapot, thanks for all the allness........
Saw em on Wednesday! Daevid & Gilli & their son, Orlando on drums with a new line up. Bloomin marvelous!!!
THANK YOU Daevid for the music!
The light gets stronger and all our eyes look yonder to see what's going on But that's all right you'll soon be out of sight and surfing to the sun The moonwheel's turning, the waves unfulling you're learning you're Zero at the centre of the whirlpool Your aquaman and in your hand is a watering, can I now or can I not believe it leave it to be The fun gods winking and we're all blinking and thinking we're sinking in the sea You're in your glider the tide you're riding inside her is turnin with the moony like the sky... boy Okay, you're Mister Illusion Smiling in all this confusion Cos you're young today, tomorrow start to play I'd just like to say No I never No I never ever ever glid before I never - oh no Last warning tide turning Moon burning slow motion Waves that you ride Just to bolster your pride But if it's love that you're after The craft of a hero Will vibe at your side as alone you may glide With a tiny afterthought Flashing as the planet calls I never never glid before Open up the veil and let us take a peep in Thru the moon and diving deep we'll meet the whale Where rides the captain submarine Who told the tale of pixies green That sends us kisses in the brain And out-far planets never seen Except by technicolour dream I never never glid before That's another story - now's the time to go and find The cuppa tea - see

Thanks for the lyrics. Did you notice that the last line in this version is "That's another story--now it's time to go and smoke another roachie." !!?
Crazy, freaky, jazzy and fonkey!!!! Saw S.H. on his first solo tour in Germany - what a gas ;-)))
Long time Gong fan, (since the 70's) and though this is 13 years old i am amazed this has had 1.4 million views, because they are one of those bands that only the people who know them know them. Had the pleasure of meeting Blumdido and Daevid long ago and they are the reason i play 45 year old analogue synth (them and Dr Who).....
If you just getting in to Gong a good place start is with camembert electrique.

It's rather unnerving that he doesn't blink...
I got to spend a bunch of time with my Magick Brother and Mystic Sister ...Much later than this. In the 90s . Gilli and Daevid You both were amazing people to know. You helped my inner light be brighter. Gilli you were the warmest person I have ever met. Its hard to have to say "I miss you"
The classic lineup. Wish they were around during the video age to capture the color and weirdness of their shows. But we still have brilliant music. RIP Daevid Allen, brilliant genius.
a colleague of mine told me to listen to Gong. he recommended Angel's Egg. my god, i don't think that i have seen this many people this fucking high in under 10 minutes. i've just got to listen again. thanks Stu!
there will never be anyone like him again...a sad loss
I.have watched this piece of footage more than any other on KZread over the years.What I.wouldn't have given to live in their commune with them in France .lol
