“What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?” Releases March 24
- “I believe the music we made then holds up today,” Bobby Colomby says
A Woodstock-veteran band plays gigs behind the Iron Curtain in Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland.
What could possibly go wrong?
For Blood, Sweat & Tears, everything.
“It just made them look uncool,” music journalist David Wild says in the trailer for “What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?,” which premieres March 24 in New York and Los Angeles prior to wider release.
“Going to Eastern Europe was not going to be forgiven by the counterculture.”
Directed by John Scheinfeld, the film tells the story of the unlikely, State Department-sponsored tour, the countries’ violent reactions to American music and its impact on BS&T.
It was apparently a career-killer for the band, which still performs with only drummer Bobby Colomby remaining from the original lineup.
“I think we were naive,” David Clayton-Thomas says of the trek. “I don’t think we realized how it would bounce up and bite us.”
“There was an underlying reason why we did this tour,” guitarist Steve Katz says. “We were blackmailed.”
Plot twist.
Bad juju aside, the movie also brings up some good memories for Colomby, who called the audio - the soundtrack is due April 21 - and video footage “fascinating.”
“I believe the music we made then holds up today,” the drummer said in a statement.
why the FUCK did they include a shot in ep1 of Klaus pulling his dog tags out of the box of artifacts and staring at them longingly (why the fuck did he lose them in the first place? the same reason his tattoos disappeared? because steve blackman said 'fuck it'?) but then HE DOESN'T EVEN WEAR THEM FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON????
like, it's one thing to forget about a character's entire existence (rip Eudora Patch) but it's like. so unbelievably disrespectful to purposefully include an acknowledgement of one of the most important people in klaus' life and then just.......throw it to the wayside?? it genuinely would have hurt LESS if they didn't even do anything for Dave in the first place.
Im gonna copy and paste something i said on my blog bcuz i really want people to read this
Something is slightly irking me and its because not a single person brought this up yet.
I remember at the chicago meetup there was a kid in the qna who asked if steve cobs will return one last time
Then when adam confirmed he will come back in the finale, he also PROCEEDED TO SAY IT WILL COME OUT LATER THIS YEAR?THIS. YEAR?
?Idk if he meant like 2025 actually or maybe he just brainfarted at that moment but NO ONE HAS SPOKEN ABOUT THIS YET AND I SWEAR I REMEMBER THIS HAPPENING AT THE CHICAGO MEETUP
Like ANYOBE READING THIS WHO WENT 7/27 YOU REMEMBER THAT TOO RIGHT?? I DIDNT JUST MAKE THAT UP IN MY HEAD???
cody ray thompson posting a random video on instagram as if he doesn’t know goddamn well that every single tua fan out there is fucking starved for dave scraps 💀

Album Review: Blood, Sweat & Tears - What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?
Four years after Live at Woodstock appeared and seemed to close the book on previously unheard, early-period Blood, Sweat & Tears material, a new batch of heretofore-unknown in-concert recordings arrive.
Captured in 1970 on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain in Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland, What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears? soundtracks the documentary of the same name and - despite its relative timidity - reinforces the truism no one melded jazz and rock and blues and pop and psychedelia like BS&T melded jazz and rock and blues and pop and psychedelia.
The film - based on long-shelved contemporaneous footage - chronicles the band’s chaotic and ultimately career-torpedoing, State Department-sponsored tour of the Soviet sphere of influence. The music - 10 tracks including the biggies “Spinning Wheel,” “And When I Die” and “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” - is hot, particularly when the ensemble works an instrumental Cream medley into “Blues, Pt. II.”
But anyone who’s spent any time with live Blood, Sweat & Tears recordings can hear something is off.
It’s particularly evident in golden-piped vocalist David Clayton-Thomas, who keeps his evangelical asides to a minimum, even as he sings brilliantly throughout - Steve Katz handles vocals on “Sometimes in Winter” - and the band manages to improvise inside its intricately charted arrangements.
More Blood, Sweat & Tears is never worth sneezing at. That said, 1976’s In Concert, 1991’s Live and Improvised and the aforementioned Woodstock set are all superior.
