Did Jeremy Clarkson anchor the above show before JV? He definitely had a very similar show on BBC 2 with a very similar (if not identical) set . Perhaps the BBC just recycled the JC set after that ended for whatever the above was.
Perhaps one of the best songs ever written..performed around the world...Sail on Brian..sail on Sailor, he created this piece for all to enjoy, years from the writing of it....Timeless, and truly emotionally charged...
Mark Ronson’s stock just jumped through the roof with this one! Hey Mark, you should have lived when this song (album) came out. Despite the controversy surrounding the mixed reviews and troubled (album) personnel and musicians, the (recorded in) Holland tapes won out…leaving this song to soar above the rest on the record. Complete with nary a Wilson or a Love at the lead mic. Definitely a stellar and seaworthy choice 💕. You have excellent taste and kudos to your Dad for bringing it to your attention. Your buddy’s vocals do it justice as well 😉
I was in my final year of high school in SA when this song was released. Still sounds as stylish today as it was back then. This live version proves what a tight band they were.
Saw them play in 1980 at Middlesbrough town hall -played for 35 mins then fucked off pile of shite one song they played for 15 mins was the Batman tv theme pure shite, week later watched the Stranglers play at the Town hall 2 hour set brilliant
I just Love Jay, mainly because I never got to see him in his prime and at his best because I live in the USA and just didn't see it. Just the best music. Great performer. At least I got to see the aftermath.
I was super lucky. I barely caught him live in NY at the Nokia Theater during Space Cowboy album. I also thought he just stopped after Virtual Insanity but was blissfully happy when I stumbled across Love Foolosophy. I was like “OMG he was still making videos!!?!” And would search the internet for more (YT was a baby then)
"Sail on Sailor" was also written & produced by the gospel group Mustard Seed Faith in the 70's. I like their eternal lyrics much more than this Beach Boys song.
Amazing band and singer. Very underrated in America and this version really shows the talent of this artist. P.s. also the bass player is really feeling that groove @3:52😊
Could 'Shoestring' have been the first private eye (or even man !) on telly not able to fight ? I was about ten years old at the time and didn't like this aspect of his character, as well as previously being a computer programmer who had a nervous breakdown !
Thanks for posting, I recorded this from the radio when it was first broadcast. They did a live recording of a concert in Glasgow early 1982 that was broadcast on local Radio Clyde. Worth searching for
