Atomic Rooster
Sleeping for Years Live Performance by Atomic Rooster on Beat Club
In April 1970, Atomic Rooster performed 'Sleeping for Years' live on the German television show 'Beat Club.' This performance came shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album, which featured a unique blend of heavy rock and progressive sounds, showcasing their innovative style. The band had just begun to make waves in the rock scene, gaining recognition not only for their music but also for their powerful live performances. Interestingly, this period marked a shift as they were still finding their footing and identity, with founder Vincent Crane leading the charge. Fans often praise this era for its raw energy and the band's ability to captivate audiences. The live recording, released later in 2018 as part of 'On Air - Live at the BBC & Other Transmissions,' gives a glimpse into their early days and the thrilling atmosphere that surrounded their performances.
