Published 2017-12-16
Zusammen mit Rod Stewart gründete Auger Mitte der sechziger Jahre die Formation The Steampacket und tat so seine ersten Schritte in Richtung Musikbusiness. Nach dem Ende der Gruppe entschloss sich der ambitionierte Künstler nicht das Handtuch zu werfen und feierte mit seiner neu geschaffenen Band Trinity Singleerfolge wie „Road To Cairo“ oder „Season Of The Witch“.
In jüngster Zeit tourte der unverwüstliche Ausnahmemusiker unter dem Synonym Oblivion Express mit Tochter Savannah und Sohn Karma immer wieder durch Europa und die USA. Brian Auger gilt als einer der vielseitigsten Jazz- und Rock-Organisten der letzten Jahrzehnte und spielte bereits mit Größen wie Eric Burdon, Klaus Doldinger und Pete York.

I was a fan of Brian back in the 60's and the fact that he's still going stronger than ever is outstanding.

I was introduced to Brian Auger in the late 70's. I was in the Navy and our carrier, Nimitz was training for her first deployment. We were out on the town, drinking in Ft Lauderdale. Nearly drunk and walking from club to club, this guy pulled up in his work van and asked if we needed a ride. The four or five of us piled in and he pulled off. On his 8-track he was jamming Freedom Jazz Dance. It was smoking! I asked who is that, and he replied Brian Auger. I had never heard of him, but made It a point to get Oblivion Express as soon as we got back to Norfolk. Then bought it when cassettes came out, then CD's, now it is part of my stream library. It's still jams. Timeless music!!

Brian is the leader of the pack. 50 years, I have been listening to his music. I have been blessed to see him live, from L.A. to Portland Oregon, Kailua-Kona Hawaii and more. Thank you for your legendary gift to the world of music.

Brian Auger is one of the best keyboardists out there and, unfortunately, under-recognized. His daughter Savannah is beautiful and has a beautiful voice. Highlight for the cover of Save Me, by Aretha Franklin. Fantastic show.

I was talking to Auggie when he played the Dakota club in Minneapolis years ago,I was trying to be eloquent about all the factors that I like about his music etc. In one bit I was telling him perhaps the main thing for me was his appreciation for applying his skill to all types of music even some things people might consider too pop or lightweight. I likened it loosely to Ramsey Lewis or The Ventures or The Shadows - musicians with incredible chops who exercise/jam them enough for you to see their skills but without ever going over the line into bebop type overkill that bores and loses the listeners eventually. Keeping it snappy for the most part. Brian listened politely to my whole lengthy rap and then said "well Dan"(he still remembered my name 15 minutes after I introduced myself!)"let me sum it up for you .If it hasn't got a groove there's nothing there for me"! I'll never forget that,what a cool guy and what a nice guy the several times I've chatted him up at gigs. You wish all your music heroes were like him.

How good is Brian Auger? Complete and utter legend. Imagine the pride performing with your children? Both impeccable. Probably my favourite clip on YouTube 😻
-
Savannah Grace sings like a well-seasoned veteran! But then - She has had a voluminous amount of material by which she has honed her beautiful voice! Brian was one of my Favorites in my teens and is even more of a Favorite now that I'm so darned old! And son Karma is an Incredible Drummer, woah! I've been a drummer since 1966 but this guy surpassed me even when I saw them "LIVE" in 2004!

Phenomenal concert & I remember him from the 60's. It's amazing that he has gotten so much better & I'm glad that he's still with us & his bandmates are outstanding.

Oh, i met Brian Auger in 2012 as i work for the Hamburg Bluesband at the Burg Herzberg Festival. Brian was one of their guest musicians. He was one of the most nicest persons i ever met. Full of jokes the whole days. He brings a lot of fun in the group. I love the music and sound of Brian and have all of his records in my collection.

Ich habe Brian Auger und seine Band (mit Sohn Karma am Schlagzeug) vor 2 Tagen in Bensheim/Hessen live gesehen. Immer noch ein hervorragender Musiker und ein freundlicher, angenehmer Mensch.
-
Like duet between Suvanna Grace and the drummer. Diggin' it
-
His timing! Always impeccable!
-
...i know Brian since ´67 or 68 ---- he`s the greatest.... ol man albionbride...- cheers- - thats the truth ;-))))

Never seen this band before but I do tend to click “PLAY” when YouTube offers me a Rockpalat concert. I briefly had a “Close but no guitar” moment but after a while, the cold turkey settled down and I was able to appreciate the band for the sheer talent that is within. I like the clean and clear sound that this uncluttered band produces, it allows the skill of every musician to be heard. Nice job.
-
Just wonderful. Having not seen BA for some time, sat down and watched this. More, I fell into the whole gig. That’s what it’s about - it took me. Thought Savanna Grace was great. Road to Cairo..❤. Obviously Karma also. And as for Les King, he’s one of my favourites. Just a great watch and taking me back to my playing days. Sweet….❤

so groovy, miss grace is fabulous, many thanks
-
Still so great, to listen to it. It´s just a good felling and a party to hear that kind of sound.
-
If Brian Auger were a guitarist, he would complete the missing side of the triangle between Albert Lee, Jeff Beck, and himself. I love this mans playing so much. No other grooves more than Brian Auger!
-
I had never listened Savannah Grace: she’s really great and it’s cool that she sometimes dances the way they used to in the ‘60s
-
Light as a feather with groove and soul to spare. The best of the best.
