Lighthouse also did a version of Eight Miles High in 68 or 69. It was on their debut. But it's not 18 minutes long. More like 6 to 8 minutes. Nice to see you all together!
Nice Graham Parker. I've collected him for 40 years and got to see him twice at the top of his game. Awesome songwriter and musician. Never got his due, but did co- star in to his credit Judd Apatow's This is 40 oddly enough. Was part of the Gang of Four: Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, and Dave Edmunds.
Great to see you two guys together and Colton pricked his ears up when Bowie’s Cat People was mentioned 😂 Great haul Jack, Pretenders Hate for Sale ……wow! Patty’s cheesecake c’mon yes please! Thanks for Stranglers shout out Mike. Glad the whole weekend went well. Mike
Nice way to wrap up the MGK VC fest weekend! Jack got some good stuff there. Graham Parker & The Rumor (early stuff) is fun, pub rock n' roll. Howlin' Wind is a classic, with Nick Lowe behind the knobs. White Honey! Soul Shoes! 😎
That's a great haul from Jack. Bargain bins for the win. The debut from Back Street Crawler is wonderful mid-70s blues with a soul twist. Their second album is even better ('2nd Street'). Nice John Martyn album too. That guy has a fantastic catalogue. And Graham Parker's debut. Absolutely brilliant.
What a great weekend eh? beers, mates and non stop records and some great video's to show too. Great stuff Mike. "Cat people (putting out fire" love it!! More bargain buys there......a serious haul there!
Great to see you two together here for a little one on one. And sleepy Colton of course. So great to hang out with you two this weekend. Sure wish it would have been longer. Thanks again. And of course thanks for the cool jazz shoutout!
A lot of Steve love going around. I need to get that Pretenders and John Martyn albums. The Stranglers are great. Graham Parker's first two albums are fantastic. "White Honey" is one of my favorite songs off that one. His second one is called Heat Treatment which is my favorite. He was often compared to Elvis Costello in his early years. Colton approves of this video.
The group of VC legends in this meeting could surely solve all the world's problems. A cameo by the Cheesecake Kid too👍Gary the Jazz Cat....what an entrance!
Jack is a "special" bloke. Brian "All Logo" 😂 and AC/DC...that is a surprise, but Rush is not. Good to see you were getting the jazz records ready for Gary ha, ha!
I'm so jealous. Would love to have been there having a beer and hanging with the VC legends! 🍻The MGK limo, that sounds luxurious. Brian is a very emotional man. I can vouch for that having met him and for his reaction to the Richard Simmons record😂 Alex the KOT - King Of Trivia! Steve a no show! Nice t-shirts though. That first Tame Impala is killer!
