The follow-up to "Eagle Rock " ...

[@stevemccart9109]

I saw them in 1971 in california and not knowing a thing about thing about them. One of the most fun bands ever!!! To this day one of my favorite shows.

[@witchitawineman]

Very crowded international market during early 70’s meant only those with the right push right connections and military type strategy to touring & promotions would make it. Daddy cool, The Sports, Sherbet, Dragon should have all been world wide hitmakers. Imagine if this was recorded In US by an American band This performance - simply stunning.

[@GrtSatan]

Hippies that never stopped loving the music they grew up with. Have all their stuff on vinyl and will cherish it forever.

Great rocking song.

I've just retired after 45 years of teaching. This song was on the charts in 1972, the year I began my teacher training. Wonderful to hear it again, it was always my favourite Daddy Cool number.

[@gaifawcett9760]

I started high school in 1972 Did you ever teach me?

[@lukenovotny5638]

This song film clip and performance is as good as anything ever recorded

[@mebeasensei]

This was 1972! Same year as Glam Rock in the UK, David Bowie Ziggy Stardust, serious art, prog-rock, Exile on Main Street, GodFather 1, Labor get elected to federal parliament in Australia for the first time since water and air were invented. I was too young to know....but ‘72 was a sunny time but by ‘74 the air was and vibe was dirty and nasty ...sharpies, AC/DC, Ted Mulry, bogans had fully replaced hippies...

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW Another classic tune from one of Aussie's best ever rock groups. From a 72yo Aussie fan.

[@ericsmith8997]

Brings back memories for sure

[@blizzard684]

Ross Hannaford a legend. I was just kid and they were my heroes living next to the bank at Middle Park. We lived down the street I was 8 and Im 58 now I still love them. long live 3xy.

[@volkerjanssen7905]

Listen to that sound! The clip must be about as old as me , and I am really old. Genius mix considering the technology that was available back then. ;-)

Ross Wilson’s brother Bruce was my high school art teacher. A very cool teacher indeed!

[@warrenmilford6848]

I've still got the original single. My favorite DC song.

[@gazgolfer]

Positive that's the bass Wayne was still using till the day he died. Now that's what you call iconic.

[@malcolmstubbs3981]

Our parents warned us about those naughty hippies but really they were good people I wonder what they would have made of this world now

[@nevillemorgan9581]

Rock on, great Aussie music god bless

[@dreama505]

What a great bass line!! Wayne Duncan you are a champion..

[@TheGroovySideOftheTube]

At the start of this clip I thought "Wow - different version of this song! Solo at the start is different! Maybe this is the LP version or something?!" Then I saw it is Daddy Cool, actually playing LIVE! I'm incredibly impressed - they had such a great live sound.

[@debbiebeggs8350]

Love the hippie vibe dont care be yourself how cool

[@louisbrus2950]

They had a special style and sound. No overplaying, the less is more method. Solid rhythm and wonderful guitar and great vocals. Bravo boys!

[@Lea99Jones]

Amazing live recording. I thought there were two horns in the mix, but it’s the other lead guitar playing some of those horn lines. Good Lord. What a band.

[@zeppelinman70]

Love the Aussie bands!!! These guys rocked! Damn what a sound and you can tell they were feeling it!

[@deancooper1406]

You love Zeppelin too 2 great bands

[@zeppelinman70]

@dean cooper yes sir! Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite English blues-rock band, but I have many other favorites. Of course the Masters Apprentices, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, The Easybeats, Lobby Lloyd, and not to forget Malcolm and Angus! So much good music from the Land Down Under! I visited there once, and I would love to go back, someday.

Great aussie rock much underated band

[@rickabbott5297]

I just love listening to these boys , put eagle rock behind you and listen to the rest of the music 😁lots and lots of other great songs 👍👍

[@mjcussen7458]

Eagle Rock is an all time classic song and I must have listened to it, with headphones, a 1000 times while I was learning to play it. But my favourite song(s), and only slightly ahead of their other songs, is their Teenage Extravaganza: Teen Love / Drive In Movie / Love in an FJ and (Boy I think You're) Paranoid, on their "Last Drive In Movie" Live album with Ian Winter. Forget about the early version on their Sex Dope Rock and Roll Album. Listen to it Live, if you can find the LP. And remember that these were the days when they plugged their guitars straight into the amps; none of the fancy effects pedals that we have today! Thanks Rick and Superyob!

[@rickdrewer6427]

[@dave261055]

They should have been an international band nobody comes close now real polished musicians no special effects there straight in an amp volume full and Ross Hanaford what a guitarist and of course Ross Wilson and a Southwark t shirt

[@barryhill2725]

Daddy cool what a superb group they were

[@allymayful]

Interesting, when you think about it - Hippy's resurrecting R 'n R music, in the early '70s - and it was bloody brilliant. Great Aussie band.

[@Lea99Jones]

Resurrecting? Or "reinventing." Bloody brilliant is right.

[@Micksteroony]

A lot of Australian music of that era is rehashed power boogie and R & R/R & B. I think R & R basically never left the Aus scene in the 60s. Personally I think the most creative, original and groundbreaking era in Aussie independent music starts in the late 70's until the late 80's. I do like this album, but not as much as many other Aussies! I must say Ruben & The Jets did it better (though later!).

[@mjcussen7458]

@@Micksteroony There was 2 main schools of R&R in Oz in the late 60's - early 70's and beyond; The Billy Thorpe school that became and was Pub Rock or the TFM Ballroom school of Art Rock/ Prog Rock. Oz music seems to have 10 year resurgent cycles and the Old School - New School thing. I beg to differ on Ruben and the Jets. DC had a distinct 70's attitude to 50's rock (listen to DC's Last Drive In Movie show LP ; hands down, their best recordings). Anyway, that's my 2 bobs worth.

[@Micksteroony]

@@mjcussen7458 Thanks mate! Not heard the "Last Drive in...." though a quick google shows its a live LP? Agreed that DC had a different - 70s - approach to R&R than say, Ruben & The Jets. I think I just personally prefer the tighter and more inventive (and maybe anti-hippy?) approach (IMO) to it from the latter! I think Oz music leapt ahead of the pack when the myriad of bands that exploded in the late 70s started doing their own thing or taking formats to a new level.....

[@mjcussen7458]

@@Micksteroony Fair enough! Always great to hear from an enthusiast! Cheers. Oh, DC's "Last Drive In Movie Show" did make it to CD in a 3 CD set called "Totally Cool" put out by Mega around 1992, but with some significant omissions from the original LP. Their best, to me, was "Love in an FJ" on Side 4, but it is part of the missing sections on the CD. You can hear Side 4 on KZbin. No... I just looked for it and can't find it any more!

Ross is the lead guitar player, yes? Yes, he's so solid, and it sounds like he's doubling some of the horn lines when he's not doing other things. What a sound. The vocal mic is all blown out, but so what?

Daddy Cool forever!!!

They were extraordinary live!! Saw them at a Festival and they came on second last. Skyhooks had arrived. Billy Thorpe and Madder Lake were also amazing - .

I dare anyone to listen to this and not move. you find yourself keeping time, doing the head bob, something, anything...

when your rhythm guitarist fingerpicks, you know you're onto something different. Love this song, but Eagle rock always completely blows me away. Same thing, finger picked rhythm guitar.

God i LOVE this clip!! This IS OZ in the 70's. Great song- hard to groove & drive at the same time 'specially in an old '57 F.E.

[@215Gallagher]

Ross Hannaford's solo is a lot of fun (I had to listen to it twice) as it doesn't go quite where you think it might and his licks throughout the song are inspired. I got to see him once with Billy T in 1977, gone too soon.

I was 13 , thought they were fantastic, I have a memory, of seeing them at a concert somewhere, I was 17 at the time, I know I was stoned off my head at the time, and woke up in the bushes half naked without my pants on, and 2 birds with no tops on. Have no memory of that night much.
