Broderick Smith - Ocean Deep (Andrew Durant Memorial Concert)

[@sallieb6435]

Deeply saddened tonight listening to this after hearing Brod passed away yesterday - he sang it to perfection. Australia has lost one of it's founding rockers who nailed the Aussie music scene from folk, country and rock. His voice was so unique and his quiet demeanour only made him more likeable. The harmonica was always not far away and everyone that saw him , loved him. RIP Brod, you were a brilliant performer and just all round lovely guy.

[@btccgala6137]

Well said. Couldn't have said it any better!

[@redandgreenant6787]

What can I say, this has always brought a tear toy eyes when I watch Brod amd Mick hold back theirs, but now Brod has gone too, it's even more Special! Always regarded Brod as our best vocalist, and Andy the best composer, and I'm a PK Fanatic. RIP Brod, there's gonna be one he'll of Jam wherever you bump into Andy, see of you can track down Renee too huh?

R.I.P. Broderick Smith. Passed away 1st May 2023 aged 75.

[@tigerlily8133]

This is, and has always been, a very goosebumpy song. Every note, every word, pure class.

[@bryanhellyer8833]

My feelings exactly 💯. One of my favourite "Chill songs" ... Beautiful

[@alfalders3020]

Now, more than ever. R.I.P. Brod.

[@annehawkins6845]

Loved this 40 years ago. I’m 62 and listen to it nearly everyday. Most underrated singer ever.

[@dirtlifestyleoz8150]

I fully agree, for what it's worth, and a great bloke

Well said me too

[@aussiepostguru]

May you Rest In Peace Broderick Smith. Thank you for the music ❤️

[@dms3393]

I was there (bit over half way back on the aisle on the left). An amazing night of amazing musicians paying tribute to a colleague fallen too early. If there is anything beyond this life, then I pray that I once again can be in the audience of a concert half this good. Broderick took Andy's last song and in a night of legendary performances, he made it iconic. Vale Broderick, and Vale Andy. To quote Lao Tzu, "To die but not be forgotten, that is immortality", how could this performance ever be forgotten?

[@deberacarl7680]

Great Australian Singer Broderick Smith R.I.P.😢💐🙏

[@paulcarey6545]

Has to be one of the greatest songs ever, why is Andy never shown respect for all his great songs, baffling isn't it

[@petedog1111]

paul carey the last song he wrote . Says so much about dying.

[@littlebird2276]

Andy is shown great respect by musicians he worked with and knew him. Many of his songs are played in local bands, and he’s still acknowledged as a member of re-formed Stars.

[@theseuskotselas4015]

Ambrose covered this yesterday...I'm sure brod was a very proud father...rest in power legend 🙏❤

[@robdavis9480]

I was 17 when I watched this concert at home. It has been sending chills through me for 42 years, everytime I hear it Brod Smith sing this live version.It's just beautiful!

[@colleengarsed1234]

RIP Broderick. Such a gentle talented man. 💖

[@ianstjohn1965]

A record company should rerelease this concert on album and cd,it’s absolute magic

[@solomondoors6620]

You can get the record, just need to find one. Can spot them at record shops usually around $25.

[@patrickconheady8015]

Absolutely love this music.....during this period in Australia we had world class rock musicians and most of us (myself included) did not realise it. We were so lucky old but beautiful music.

[@lindafox814]

Live on through your music BROD SMITH RIP 🌹

[@glennjelich3174]

Vale Brod Smith, never received the mainstream recognition he deserved but was highly respected by musicians for his incredible talent..... you are now reunited with your mates Andy Durant and Phil Emmanuel, I can just imagine the 3 of you performing this. Thanks for the music Brod

[@muso2482]

Brod has passed recently and his legacy will be cherished. Ocean Deep is surely his pinnacle, vividly demonstrating his purity & strength, but his extraordinary range is shown in The Iceman and his songs & lyrics with The Dingoes & as a soloist.

[@Jeffro5564]

RIP to Broderick Smith

[@haraldfarinski6245]

A great Aussie song seemingly lost in forgetfulness of Aussie music/under revered hopefully now Brod you will have the recognition you have longly deserved! Station hotel !

[@santanocci]

Only lost to some.

[@littlebird2276]

I don’t think so. both Brod Smith and Mick Pealing have had it in their set lists since the early eighties. Both still playing it, as do the reformed Stars.

[@enforcer1]

the spell is broken at the last moment, Broderick snaps out of his meditation. Special performance.

[@perrymorris171]

My favourite vocal of this beautiful song. Thank you Broderick , never fails to bring goosebumps and tears. R.I.P. ✌️and ❤

[@ericredding]

The most amazing gathering of talent in Aus...

[@midnite_rambler]

Not sure if Brod still does this, but it remained a staple of his for many years. A very much under-rated Aussie singer.

[@BobSpencerMusic]

The greatest. :-)

[@lukashynes2797]

The self titled album from the dingoes, i think is the best Australian album ever written. Period.

[@stephenanthony6508]

Ahhhhh Brod, remember my time as a roadie with him in 84. Great days, hard touring and a few memorable moments. Supporting U2, the reaction of a few of their crew to Brod and the band, he blew them away to be honest. I remember the guitar tech saying " these guys are fucking brilliant " And the band was pretty bloody good Love Ya Brod. ❤️ RIP BRODERICK SMITH See you at the great gig in the sky.
