Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1971: After a couple of copyright strikes I've decided to remove all my videos on every nzoz channel. I didn't do this to spite the subscribers and/or those who champion my channels. I did this because building these channels and facing the risk of having one account terminated has been a little stressful. I've also grown annoyed with how little material I have to show with each channel. I do understand the importance of copyright and I respect the wishes of artists and am not interested in causing violation whatsoever. However, as somebody who is passionate about archiving these videos, and displaying them in a chronological (hence; each account being based on a year) I find it disheartening and stressful having a channel being put at risk by a copyright strike. I assure you, my channels will make a come back in the future. As for now, I got a life to live.
I have never heard this version before , even tho a big fan. Is this Prog Rock?? Saw them at Lorne SLSC a long , long time ago....! Check out Thorpie in band " The Zoo" which shows his vocal ability as well as genius guitar..🤠😎
I find it confounding that there are so many people here calling this rubbish and the Lobby was underrated. He has had a massive influence on Australian music, and contributed a great deal of music that many many people love and enjoy. I can see how he could be referred to as one-dimensional, but if that's a criticism then I respond with it's possible to be exceptional at that one dimension. Dropping solos and being technically capable on guitar is just part of the equation. Lobby could do that, and well, plus perform as a part of a band and fit into the rhythm extremely easily. He had a terrific sense of rhythm, something that's easy to talk about but I would argue extremely difficult to learn.
Yes truly wonderful. Listened to this with my friends/sisters at Griffith Hostel. 2md year High School. Transistor radios by our beds. Battle of the Sounds Violet Crumble Bar a little later.
i wish they had come to the states. did they? we don’t know them over here, and it’s a travesty. such an amazing band. i’m just glad i discovered them on a fluke.
These guys mean to Australians who lived through the 1970s and 80s. Particularly the lead singer Ross Wilson who had been in a bunch of psychedelic bands before Daddy Cool and after that he did electro pop new romantics music with Mondo Rock. He had done it all ... A real legend
One of my very favorite bands from NZ. We would see them at the Village Green Hotel in Melbourne, Victoria around 1970-1. when aged 18 how privileged we were to see these class acts. Gunna See My Baby Tonight . All along the Watchtower. Kevin Borich. And also Blackfeather. They had the feel. so relaxed. They were our Jimmy Hendrix. Fantastic live music.
Hello lindsay wells. Mate healing force were a seriously good sound. When i listen i am taken back to Sydney of that era ,thanks from the heart Bongoman now on the South Wales coast of CYMRU
I found this song on an old CD compilation. I was wondering if it was the same guy. So now I see he was a singer before General Hospital. I always thought acting made him famous in singing.
I've never heard of her, but I got her record 'are you lonesome tonight' today for $2 from a thrift shop. She looked so friggin funky on the record. So I had to buy it. Can't wait to chuck it on.
Great song ! .. Remember hearing it as a kid living in Toowoomba, which isn't far from Brisbane, the subject of the song .. Always loved the feel of it, and the chorus has stayed in my mind.
..on a level playing field...she'd have been an international star...the looks, the voice, the everything...but sometimes we make decisions that curtail us from success. Maybe we are pressured and influenced by others, that override our ambition. Whatever - Alison was a star that didn't have the ability ( or support ) to shine that star.
