Ed Kuepper reflects on the Saints' success with '(I'm) Stranded' in Britain. Mark Callaghan (the Riptides) and Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens) speak about the impact The Saints had on them. Grant McLennan (The Go-Betweens) tells about how The Go-Betweens began releasing singles on their own Able label.

this is astonishing! thank you so much!

Well, I did some research and asked a few people and someone over at the Garagepunk site mentioned "It's a television commercial they recorded for a record shop - The Toowong Music Centre, Nelson. It's on page 67 of the David Nichols Go-Betweens book. It was a song they appear to have made up on the spot.". I'll transcribe the page if you're interested. It's a shame they never recorded it into a full length and released it. It's a killer song...

4:13 awesome music that is trying to capture the 1960s flower power sound but made decades laters.

What a Freakin Great Documentary!

[@brucifer6892]

What is that song starting at 3:30 with the Bob Dylan takeoff video? This was also in the Saints "Stranded" documentary I think.

[@konstantinostzas8005]

@@rubyredjeans it's the GoBetweens and I wanna know the name of the song as well...

[@columnshift]

Nice work posting this. I still have it on VHS taped from the Rock Arena episode but it's a bit fragile!

[@TelevisionTrash]

Oh, and the video footage of the man comin' around the corner and the dude with the signs which resembles the INXS video...that's footage of the actual commercial. I'm tryin' to do a search to find the commercial, I'd love to see that in its fullest if possible.

May I ask how you obtained this doc? I'd like to buy it if possible. Is it on VHS or DVD?

[@PaulAndrewartistmediaarchives]

[@barticus04]

Mr strathfield were did you get this Doco? I would love to have this!!

If I could hijack a TV station I'd put this on instead of Today Tonight and fix all of Brisbane's issues in 1hr.

Anyone ever find out the name of that track? I've been wondering and trying to find it for a while now myself.

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

7:30 good song by the riptides. eerie, somber, druggie song by tangled shoelaces afterwards.

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

What is the name of the Tangled Shoelaces song? It sounds like a 1960s-era druggie song updated for a later time.

[@davidcross701]

The sound is ... post punk

[@TheMightyeel]

Yes Mr Nelson there certainly was pretentiousness from certain people at that time. The names Forster and Mclennan spring to mind.

[@paulgreen1800]

the best band to come out of Brisbane at the time was RAZAR

[@justaname1862]

Hmmm...a list of the Crappiest Bands of Bris at the time...never heard of any of them...and no wonder why
