Graham Bond Organisation.7th August 1965.
Graham Bond died young and never fulfilled his promise,but his
band was seminal in influencing many of the up and coming blues and rock acts
of the late 60s and early 70s and his group contained two members of one of
the best power trios of all time , Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, who later went
on to form Cream with Eric Clapton . He also had a great sax player- the late
Dick Heckstall Smith who went on to play with Colosseum .Bond himself was no
slouch on the sax and was a talented singer and keyboard player. Unfortunately
Bond was plagued with drug and mental problems and perished under the wheels
of a London Underground train in 1974 . He was 37 .
The stills below were taken from
an archival film that exists of the 1965 show, recorded for the US TV show Shindig
but it is not known just how much footage of the set exists.
