Yep, another great gone too soon. He was a superb performer, but unfortunately, in my opinion, he never again reached the heights of his Mad Dogs and Englishmen period.

Still think that Mad Dogs and Englishmen was one of the great concert films along with Woodstock, Rust Never Sleeps and Stop Making Sense.

Don't knock Kylie... she's made the occasional foray into the world of good music...

were in that age group where reaL creativity was a freeforall, as it was thru rebellion, not trying to impress so there was a lot of 'outonalimb creativity' going on. people learning to express themselves & letting their inner hair down.

I was quite straight back then & about to break free from the gravity of conservative apron strings, & straight laces neatly tied. needless to say i was into pop; & r&b & blues without knowing what those terms were.

those early days are hard to top for any successful band. just a great vocalist & artist/performer.

too choirboy back then was moi. missed Sunbury & those fun times. my mates went.

I would love an opportunity to do those outdoor festivals now, but that creativity has passed by us... maybe oneday it will be reborn.

the freedom of the '70's, the innocence & the mischevious. howling down the coast at near 100mph with de-restriction signs aplenty; overtaking school buses @ 85mph with me sitting out the drivers side rear window, wind blowing thru the hair & waving to the babes.

the freedom & the fun will be hard to match in any era from now

billy thorpe, carly simon, skyhooks, ol 55, beach boys, santana, the Mac, p Floyd, ac dc, queen, neil diamond, zepplin, Deep Purple, who? the stones, eagles,,,,,,,,,,, Slade

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
