Bloomineck!
Daevid Allen/Gong on RP.
Delight!
I saw Gong in the Radio Gnome days, the atmosphere was awfully thick, went in sober, came out stoned, and none of it was mine. You had to be there, just like the sixties....
Or so I'm told.
Hatfield and The North were support band. Aaah misty days

70s noodling, right enough. When I was in sixth form it was de rigeur to be into Gong, Yes, ELP, Amon Duul, and other prog rock supergroups to be considered part of our college's cultural and intellectual elite. Even if you couldn't bear them, you had to follow the party line if you wanted to be 'in'. Looking back, this was just posey w@nking, but that's students for you. This is relatively accessible compared to the baroque gnomic incomprehensible music that Gong put out in those days, but it does bring back embarrassing memories, for I was as much a posey w@nker as the rest :(

I dragged No. 1 Step Son (into DJing and Trance etc) to see Steve Hillage and Gong at the Glade stage at Glastonbury in 2009. He was a little put out that cranky old Mummy and Daddy's generation had got there before his.

It's close to a GONG...but actually just a 4.

this is awful — sounds like "smooth jazz", which is NOT jazz at all !!

It's indeed a nice groove but the vocalist's twee delivery is off-putting for me. Nice tune, though, digging it as I code.

This is the bomb! Had no idea Gong did anything after the early 80's. Inspired, I've got to dig this up. What a nice groove complete with a dreamy sax. Makes a nice early sat nite mood.

Reminds me of trippy 70s jazz.  Very chill.

Nice tune.  Love the soprano sax!  It sounds like Randy Wheeler (but I know it can't be him . . . . )

When you play stuff like this, it reinforces WHY I listen. Seriously- love the periodic dose of 'late greats'. Keep this up and I'll be a lifetime listener and contributor! A good workout for those cobweb music corners in my brain! —love—

Oh my goodness! Gong! 

Last time I seriously listened to Gong was sometime last century when I was chemically enhanced. The Flying Teapot era. A casual glance at allmusic.com tells me they have never stopped. 

Thank you once again RP for making me re-evaluate and re-visit old bands I thought had fallen off the face of the earth.
