WOW! Fantastic, thanks.
Taking 35 minutes to watch this video made my day. love this band but hadn't heard this particular lineup before. When we get that bass solo starting around 2 1/2 minutes I'm thinking man that looks like Pohjola then scrolling up there's his name! He also offers up another killer bass solo around 27 1/2 minutes in I believe.
So we have two Finns in Pohjola(Wigwam) and Aaltonen(Tasavallan Presindentti) the rhythm section along with a Polish keyboardist and a Swedish singer and guitarist. The guitarist being the only original member.
I could go on and on about this show. It's raining lightly at first and then the sun comes out. Love the video late with the singer on bongos and the drummer behind him but over so we can watch both play at the same time. These guys really had a sense of humour as well. Just a great show! Check out Pohjola!

By the way I was looking at the liner notes of my "Made In England" cd and noticed Neil Ardley arranged 3 tracks with the help of Tony Reeves(Colosseum) on one of them. Tony produced this album after becoming a fan himself of the band.

I like the instrumental parts, though it sounds a little bit dated. I have an LP with this line up, but I've never really enjoyed it because of the vocals.

NRK TV had one of the best music archive:
There’s footage of Made in Sweden (same line-up) performing on German TV around the same time. Funny that they still called themselves that even though there were only two Swedes left in the group! And I thought Tommy Körberg (now better-known for his work as a stage musical performer) was an original member!
Here’s an even earlier performance by Ruphus, featuring almost the original line-up (Freddy Dahl, from Junipher Greene, replacing original singer Rune Sundby). A pity it’s in black and white, denying you the sight of Gudny’s fabulous red hair!

Who can tell me if there is a better electric bassist (Jaco aside) than Pekka?
I don't think so.

Interesting modifications on Pekka's bass. Although I'm assuming there was no official Jazz bass with that pickup configuration?
