[stuarthat]

This is very good with some great unseen footage,for me anyway .
You will have to find it .

A bit of a clue would be useful - what are we talking? TV, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon or what?

Looks like it might be Apple TV?

1971 was a great year for music.

Wishbone Ash, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple Mk2, Barclay James Harvest etc.

Helpful as ever. Google throws up hundreds - thousands - of results from 2mins to 8hrs.

I saw Wishbone Ash 8 times over the years; brilliant band.

I also had a ticket to see The Who at the Mayfair, Newcastle 1971 for their farewell tour... I never got there 'cos I fell badly ill with Asian flu (which I now know to be a precursor of SARS/Covid)

Two very minor claims to fame - I went to the same school as David Hepworth, but he was a big boy two years ahead .

Embarrassingly , a mate asked if I wanted his spare ticket for a gig . I wasn't that fussed . It was only The Who , playing Live at Leeds . WTF was I thinking . ?

Some wonderful music that year and at the time I'd have nominated something from Deep Purple , ELP , Curved Air or Zeppelin as music of the year. When I grew up a bit more I knew the album of 1971 was Joni Mitchell' s Blue

Watched the first episode last night and really enjoyed it. I hadn't seen some of the footage before, although lots of it was familiar. Looking forward to binge watching the rest of the series, as the relationship between music, artists and geo politics at the time was fascinating (although I'm not convinced music itself was responsible for wider societal change ushered in from 1970 onwards as the series title intimates). I was 10 years old in 1971 and I get a sense that the weird times we're experiencing now are analogous in some ways to the early seventies - as I recall it was an unsettling time, something that I can clearly recall even now.

Yes released both 'The Yes Album' and 'Fragile' in 1971!

The white-heat of musical development in those days. I was just too young to appreciate it at the time

Rod Stewart's Maggie May was No1 when I was born in 71.

The book - 1971 – Never a Dull Moment: Rock's Golden Year - is worth your time.
He (Hepworth) is an engaging guide.

Not sure about that.

17 weeks in the Top 100 apparently
4 weeks at no 1 spot.
