What a great live performance of this song! Couldn't ask for more! As a 1971 high school grad, I miss the '70s dearly! Everything was so genuine. Now we're in Strawberry Fields.

[@carykingiv9569]

Ross Hannaford had beautiful technique. A true guitar master. Very underrated and worthy of highest praise and world recognition.

[@neil2550]

He was unreal to listen to

[@spoonerfive]

He's the real hook for this band. Fabulous, and deserving of far more fame!

[@tonycostanzo4276]

he was the best in Australia at that time Ross made all difference in this band

[@mjcussen7458]

I still like Ross Hannaford's style over anything else I've heard since. Fast forward to 1972, The Last Drive In Movie Show and their 1974 incarnation.... world class!

[@brendencampbell8666]

One of the best guitar pickers of all time RIP Ross Hannaford ❤️😪

[@terrymadams8591]

I saw them in Wellington New Zealand 1971 great band , great concert .

[@MickInTheMorning]

Was lucky enough to meet the band when they toured the US in 1972. All of them, packed with their wives, kids, roadies and equipment into a private greyhound "SceniCruiser" bus - very cool guys!

[@laineleavitt28]

Somehow Daddy Cool was THE band everyone listened to up here in Maine. Every local band played their songs- Eagle Rock was THE song that got people on the dance floor when bands started to play it...ah, the 70s😄

[@petermcculloch4933]

That is an interesting comment.I had no idea Daddy Cool were known outside Australia.

[@laineleavitt28]

@@petermcculloch4933 it's so funny- ya, around here, in Maine- we ALL loved Daddy Cool. Every local band played Daddy Cool songs. I mean, it was every where! We all searched record stores for their albums, went crazy when Eagle Rock played....its odd, I know. I wonder if someone from here visited Oz & got turned on to the band & brought it back here...to this day, I have a Daddy Cool cd in my truck. I love this band!🥰

[@ruth3085]

I always thought I knew my classic rock but I didn't know about daddy cool until I watched Wolf Creek

[@djizzah]

are you serious? i thought no one outside australia heard of this band, wow

[@laineleavitt28]

@dji zzah funny isn't it? My guess is that someone from Australia came to Maine & turned us on to the band. When I say EVERY one loved this band, I'm not kidding. The local radio stations played them, we scoured record stores for their albums...and of course, all the local bands played Eagle Rock..it's the song that gets us all out on the dance floor! They were absolutely the soundtrack of Maine in the 70s 😊

[@zapkvr]

The greatest guitarist and the greatest songwriter Australia has ever produced in the same band. Pure bliss

[@digiworxdigitalmediaproduc5034]

Older friends of mine brought Daddy Cool records back to central Illinois in the early 70s after they got out of the military.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a 73yo Aussie fan.

[@samanthaschofield743]

John Benn wow and I agree

[@billrichards1965]

Ross Wilson is still belting out the tunes in 2024!!!

[@unjay1967]

The whole band is so in the zone. Ross Hannaford was the best guitarist this country has ever produced.

[@zapkvr]

He's no Glenn Campbell but he is pretty good.

[@unjay1967]

[@chemistryset1]

Ross Hannaford's guitar tone on the verses is incredible - delivers a definitive vocal harmony too..

[@stevemccart9109]

I saw these guys in 71 and it is still one of the best shows I've seen...and I've seen everyone of significance till now and still going. and this performance was epic...rip rob hannaford

[@mebeasensei]

Ross Hannaford - what a dude! And the rest of 'em, not too shabby either,

[@utalgreg]

Bought their album when released in the 70s. Played it over and over and finally wore it out. Every song was a hit for me.

[@samanthaschofield743]

[@bradrobinson6194]

Ross Hannaford's solo is just amazing in this video

Love Daddy Cool,,RIP Ross Hannaford,just watched 50 yrs eagle rock with Ross,last week ,it was Fantastic, come back again

[@philthornton-iy9vv]

Daddy is the coolest

[@firehose34]

I first watched these songs on GTK in 1970 & it just doesn't get better then this.

[@noty410]

This is a gorgeous version 😊

[@mohamedmango7133]

4:43, the director was paying attention R.I.P Wayne Duncan The greatest Aussie band ever. Thanks guys - This is just sublime.

[@chemistryset1]

Wayne Duncan's bassline here is perfection; simple when it should be simple with some nice flourishes.

[@malvingygyirak9819]

WOW! 45 years down the track - still brilliant! Thank you for uploading this.

[@samanthaschofield743]

Malvin Gygyirak thank you!

[@georgeginis9043]

Bloody Brilliant ❤❤❤

[@maddydare1589]

im 27 and most my mates listen to hipjop but because I grew up with this music I still love it today.

[@tonycostanzo4276]

VINTAGE STUFF HERE😃💙💙💙💙

[@Borella309]

In the mid 60s The Easybeats took OzRock to the world and had a red hot go. Daddy Cool were the best Oz band after the Easys. They didn't make it outside Oz. Next were Skyhooks - ditto. Then came a wealth of bands, and finally Men at Work and INXS hit the top of the charts. But Daddy Cool remains in the top 3 bands this country has produced.

[@geoffreyhobba7017]

Amazing era and was devastated when I heard they had split up

[@aiwodistrict]

Its been over 20 years when I first come across this very unique rock beat"eagle rock" I shallcall it". To date no one has picked up this sound and it must feel good to have your signature to this exclusive product,,. it must not end here, the music industry needs get this guys back in the studio. what we hearing today is not music but filling the air with jungle chants.

[@stevemccart9109]

I saw these guys in 1971 and to this day it is one of the best shows I ever saw.

[@odettepross2435]

pokes tongue out at the 43 people who disliked this video

[@matthewwhitton5720]

I remember my great mate from Memphis, Tennessee, who was delighted with this Australian boogie,..he used to say “ These guys were so laid back that they had to be reminded to play, and that audiences were waiting. “….

[@shanebrbich5698]

P90’s sound soooo Sweet!

[@ashleyhazelwood5979]

The greatest Aussie band ever. Thanks guys - This is just sublime.

[@Jarrahnut]

They were bloody good! Great track! One of the all-time Aussie greats!! So says Big Hugh from Mundlimup. Give Logging the Chop!

[@petermarkovic8837]

Love the extended guitar breaks in this version of the song :)

[@JPTill]

I always imagine a Neil Young version of this. Still love it every time I put it on.

[@user-uq4iz7xd5o]

Love this band since i was 11 years old remember this great sound and no different 50 years on.

[@Britbikerss]

Now how can you go past classic 70s rock ~ Daddy Cool ~ Russell Morris ~ Normie Rowe ~ ahh them's the days ~ lol ~ Thanks "Aunty Jack " for having the wisdom/ fore sight to save these classics.. ~

[@Honeysucklebommie]

Ross Hanaford still has it going on too ,watched him action at a party a coupla months back.

[@midnitekisss]

@dippydogau ... I'm a Bop girl I'd long forgotten until I played it tonight and I still remember all the words!! :)

[@mclarenguy]

know what it's like deano, jarring on with the old man in the shed listening to daddy cool, classics.

[@TheGino62]

it don t get any better then this i loved it in the 70 s n i still love em now

[@colindominy]

Close your eyes, folks .. and let your sensory input focus on the sheer music and the BEAT !! Unplugged, freefall live music does NOT come any better than this. COOOL is the word.

[@58deluxe8]

Hannaford thinks .....he doesn't think....that's why he's so great!

[@birdie399]

Remember this song at the Cottesloe Surf Club, my school social in about 1973. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevemccart9109]

Absolutely loved this band 71 was the best

[@mereditharbon9918]

SOOOOOO laid back.......

[@frankcastel3239]

Great job by the audio crew too, you can hear everything beautifully & so ""organic". 🎤🔉🔊

[@janevelasquez5918]

I just recently heard this song for the first time and I love it ...

[@mebeasensei]

I loved the Johnny's ...and Spencer P. Jones. He chose to be buried - as I believe - next to ...who? Daddy Who? Daddy Ross Hannaford...and what a soul to lie next to. Give me that spirit, and who ever were Ross Hannaford's parents or care givers, teachers, whatever...thank you. He was a gem.

[@gpigott6625]

Come back again GTK

[@markwilliams7712]

Producer: "Hey RH, what's your plan for the solo?" RH: "yes"

[@garymalski3837]

And he nailed it

[@nitemareman1]

It's a trip- this is from 71, but the guitar player (who is amazing btw) has almost an early-mid 80's Cars Rick Ocasek fashion sense to him. Very cool! Heard this band on Tom Petty's radio show on SiriusXM and they are great!

[@neddyladdy]

nitemareman1 Not one iota of an idea or what you said I'm afraid.

[@nitemareman1]

English a second language? Keep at it. English is the single most difficult language to learn.

[@LizzieBinTX]

Amazing what these guys were doing in Australia in the early 70s

[@markriley2300]

Ross Hannaford I think...did a few solo albums...had the privilege of giving him a ride one day...

[@55oraclesdirtfiles28]

Not Rick Ocasek: Ross was the most elegant guitarist I have ever seen, and does not compare to anyone. He was a total original. I got to see him play every week in the early 90's at the recently-reopened Esplanade Hotel, in St Kilda, Melbourne. His band was called Diana Kiss. Beautiful player, and am not surprised that people like Tom Petty revered him. Miss his playing heaps. Vale Ross Hannaford.

[@kdobbinhale]

great rock n roll boys.

[@heyreveen4267]

I love this song!

[@ChrisStumer]

My cousin used to sing this to his girlfriend when I played it on the stereo. Bowel cancer is a dreadful thing.

[@tednugent5058]

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi oi oi .. dont get much betta than that!!

[@cathycastleton]

Only complaint is Hanna’s excellent bass voice hardly got airtime here He’s gone sadly now But I was looking for him

[@DownesyFez]

Brilliant. Pity it took the camera guys / director until 4:45 to figure out it was Ross Hannaford playing lead guitar. I wanted to see more of that effortless style of his. And he's still got it today, playing around Melbourne
