Alright, weddings and associated parties are all finished, the Lobby benefit has been and gone (AMAZING night) and there's nothing to prevent a proper post. This weekend for certain I will at least put up the link and then add the guff as I get it done. On the topic of the Lobby night (apologies to anyone reading this who I've already bored senseless in person), it was an astounding event. So many of those guys are still so bloody good. The huge voices of Matt Taylor (Chain) and Mick Fettes (Madder Lake) etc. are miraculously intact. Most remembered how their respective instruments worked though one or two were led down the slippery slope of digital effect overload (yes I'm looking at you, Masters Apprentices). Thorpie's still Thorpie and Spectrum have been gigging enough that there was never any doubt there. Player of the match award definitely goes to Lobby Loyde himself though. I was amazed by how fresh and just darn good the Wild Cherries sounded and I'm definitely going to be tracking some of that down. During his appearance with the Aztecs, Lobby continued to give Thorpie guitar lessons, and to finish up he lifted the roof with the Coloured Balls and the mighty guitar anthem G.O.D. According to a clock-watcher, it was a 15 minute version. Stopped too soon for my liking. Afterwards my dad (Colonel Straightman) and I headed back to Straightman Central and watched the Sunbury film and listened to records for the rest of the night. My volume monitoring system might have been slightly impaired as Mrs Straightman informs me that it wasn't the quiet whisper I took it for. The Colonel brought down a box of Oz rock vinyl for me to archive including a Sunbury '73 album featuring himself up the front of the gatefold. Snapshot to follow. Top night except for the unfortunate going to work afterwards bit. Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 12 of 22 } { Next Page } |
