Argent - Tragedy - Top of The Pops - 1972

...Argent perform their classic "Tragedy" on Top Of The Pops on the 22nd June 1972...

[scottjewell]

Probably the most underrated band of the 70s! A real rock band.

[TheLee]

Hugely underrated....A proper 'musicians' band...So much talent and a brilliant songwriter in the form of Russ Ballard..

[Wolfspiderxl]

The mighty Argent, classic Rock, as we like it.

[charlesperry]

I declare this my favorite all-time song!

[IThinkYouLookLarvely]

Love the groove on this. The three-part harmony on the word "Tragedy" makes me wonder if it inspired the Bee Gees for their hit seven years later.

[cherrybullet]

Frickin Awesome!Those harmonies, holy smokin!

[pauleades]

First name band I ever saw in the Glen Ballroom, Llanelli. Together with Van der Graff Generator and Stan Webb's Chickenshack!

[jeremydicker]

One of my first singles i bought with my own money..remember the yellow epic records label..

[scottjewell]

I went to an Argent concert once, I think that it was 1973 I believe? I don't believe they were any seats, because you couldn't sit down when Argent was on stage. My band played this kind of music. And we filled the house every night with people who could not sit down. Russ Ballard was a genius mixed with Rod Argent and always the most talented musicians.

Jim Redford playing the Fender bass Chris White used to record Odessey & Oracle

[howardwhite]

zombies and argent were a decade ahead of their time....

[Modes]

At their best, they were as musical as the Zombies and as heavy as Deep Purple.

esta canción extraordinaria merece mas visitas

[tonyanderton]

Great stuff. Saw them live in '75. I think that Russ had just left by then, though.

[rdjune]

Bass player Bill Burford died tragically last year, falling down the stairs at home! R.I.P. Bill.

[StealthyAssassin]

Anyone notice that Jim is playing Chris white of the Zombies bass? “This is a piano this was up”

Russ Ballard and Bob Henrit were both better musicians than the guitarist and drummer in the Zombies. They were both ex-Roulettes and for a short time, Unit 4 + 2.
