Gary Glitter - Doing Alright With The Boys (Ultra Rare WIPED TOTP Performance 1975)

[@marcussaint8247]

A HEY! YOU! WHAT YA GONNA DO? (GET OFF OF MY CLOUD). Brilliant and no Rolling Stones either, just the Glitter Band. GREAT!

[@kevinwhite1185]

Glitter is a key figure in British rock. This track is an interesting example of his Gary Glitter character with its laddish lyrics and Mike Leander's quite original take on rock, which is in the beat, which remains influential. Rock music is full of characters who are not perfect. But that is for another thread. In the meantime, a great historical document her for which I thank the uploader.

[@ForeverGerry]

BRILLIANT!!!! I LOVE this song! Thanks for finding it....rescuing it....and putting it on here! WooooHoooo!!!! X

[@ForeverGerry]

By the way....how DARE they try and wipe what is music HISTORY! GG may be what he is....but they can NEVER take away the fact that HE changed music history...as did The Glitter Band after Him! X

[@Gia_01]

Never heard this song b4 thought i heard all Gary's song it's alight thanks 4 the upload 5*****

[@shaolinfingajab]

Quite ironic, at the height of Gary Glitters popularity, Jimmy Savile and Dave Lee Travis were at the top of their career and Fred West was hard at work on building a new extension for his house and laying the patio in his garden. Got to love the 70's eh? :/

[@razorsteel7242]

I think you should lose your name in the vid, mate. Appreciate you posting this, as it brings back memories of watching TOTP in blissful ignorance of some stars' behaviour (and the DJs) at the time, and for that, thanks...but the watermark overkill? Seriously?

[@kevinwhite1185]

This is indispensable Glitter; one of his best.

[@michaelholmes4374]

Gary's last mager hit bought them all in the day great music then and now

[@claireshephard8177]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!

[@baldbollocks]

Rock on Gary !!!!!!!!!!!

[@user6971it]

shame about the water mark but great to see this again

[@gazthyer6541]

Many 60s and 70s episodes were wiped due to strikes and stuff like that. Only a handful exist these days which is a shame because BBC used to tape one week on video then overwrite it the week after to save costs, thus many episodes being lost for good.

[@67Hiwatt]

The BBC and the original performers collectively or severally own the copyright to this performance. Just running of a copy from a VHS to digital media does not in anyway whatsoever give you copyright of the material or this version. In fact the law is very clear you have in fact breached the copyright of the BBC and the original performers by doing this. It is up to them however to enforce this and most performers don't bother as they want their material shown, especially when it's this old.

[@yourbrotheryusuf]

Who uploaded this? I REALLY wish there was some indication of WHO uploaded this, because I REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT. Even if you have to RUIN the video, please just put the uploader's name SOMEWHERE.

[@miros1234]

it may be rare but why spoil it with that huge watermark? it is quite distracting and spoils the view.

[@lewisner]

It's so that someone doesn't plagiarise it. Many people think that because something is posted on the internet they can simply copy it for free.

[@Pobotrol]

It's not exactly yours to share in the first place.

[@gazthyer6541]

Well the obvious reasons are this... This is a very very rare clip and it came to my attention that people from other forums would steal this clip and sell it on for a price so that's not very fair so I put a watermark on it.

[@BAVideography]

The simple fact of the matter is that it's not your property to protect for your own profit; it's illegal for you to profit on it to begin with.

[@Beligale]

I still don't get your point, mate... Nobody would sell a clip that's already on KZbin... What about reposting it with a more discrete watermark, like in your previous videos? Make it watchable, please...

[@dariowestern]

Love this song as a kid. Joan Jett also did a great cover of it. :)

[@jennyjohnson7751]

Pure Glam Rock....

[@christopheclugston]

You just missed the point. Owner calls the shots not the spectators.

[@Beligale]

Obvious reasons? Can't figure out any, truth be told... Please, upload it in a way everyone can enjoy it properly.

[@dariosvampa3674]

great song

[@jibjab351]

Why post this 'Lost' video if we cant see it?

[@paulspydar]

so do you own this footage Gaz? I ask for "obvious reasons"

[@moor1644]

this is the song which turned me on to gary. i'd ignored him previously, but i couldn't stop listening to this single. gary looked so gorgeous and MASTERFUL, and i've worshipped him ever since. he is the leader. touch me please!

[@moor1644]

[@neilcojenel2396]

Nigal Brown .. You are aware That Paul Gadd is not Gay aren't you.. Even now he prefers the company of the female Liberian and the female nurse . thou he does have male friends in prison that what they'd remain as .

[@spivzespivatron6712]

A lil bit of noble art of docking is required in this instance

[@gazthyer6541]

I had to put it like that or not have it on here at all due to copyright etc

[@ianscott5178]

still the best singer and artist going paul gadd .aka gary glitter . come on ..

[@1partickthistle]

wrathchild did a cover of this as well

[@gazthyer6541]

oh well, happy birthday!

[@Swipe-Left]

*sought after. Not 'sort'.

[@britishislandersutd]

love the Glitter stomp, this would rock mars

[@mrcuteblackie]

true. society in those days encouraged rockstars to be eccentric. Not his fault. For instance, if we do not forgive him, what about the church and even royal families who took part in slavery, the most cruel act. My ancestors were hunbg, thrown in the sea, beaten, be-heade, etc. you are right.

[@gilliankingston8259]

Being a paedophile and deliberately taking advantage of your position as a pop star to do the disgusting things he did is different.

[@helenwalsh3726]

🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️😍😍😍Wonderful. 👏👏👏

[@ALittleBitShabby]

Enjoy your boy toys Gary.

[@sugarlanskee8]

GG had the hair, the moniez, the parties. "Time is the tyrant " (HH, May, 1968).

[@Tigerofthenight]

Putting watermarks on someone else's work? Pathetic.

[@jammysivile4378]

My brother never drove fast near schools

[@cityscot]

wow

[@Glitterbandits]

Yes, what obvious reasons, please explain?

[@gazthyer6541]

You'd be surprised matey, I've been offered money for it already by a collector and declined. Maybe in a few weeks or so i'll redo the watermark, but at the moment its staying as it is. Sorry.

[@dariowestern]

Get on with it. We don't need or want watermarks on videos.

[@MrOldways]

Top Job. 8|

[@alanm5939]

This is now available elsewhere on KZbin without your pathetic watermark all over it .

[@thegapshow]

Gaz Thyer name on screen spoilt the view

[@thegapshow]

Your name on screen spoilt view

[@michael.jconnolly4083]

Rubèttès

[@dermot51]

Great song but the twat ruined the visuals

[@leecox321]

forgive and forget

[@frogjumptonykey]

How do you suppose "that" conversation went? "Looked 18 to me, officer...!" heehee! Shouldn't THAT be the title of his next hits compilation? Touche'!

[@desmondesmond7424]

What am I going to do Gary? I ll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to phone the police. How does that sound?

[@michaelcarey9359]

"obvious reasons"... self-aggrandizement... narcissism, psychopathy, finger-in-the-bum syndrome. Seek help, if not for yourself, then the rest of us who have to read the subliminal "gay there!".

[@everyanybody]

have some tact and remove the watermark. this is my favorite gary glitter song man it's my fucking birthday.

[@lauraarcher1730]

I hope you’ve grown up a bit now!

[@TheGodParticle]

Wtf with the name across the screen

[@leopold23756]

Shoot the Watermaker... Jimmy Savile & Gary Glitter are the greatest entertainers of all time.

[@deanfowles3707]

yea try telling that to the victims of his sexual abuse

[@shauncalway62]

Great track shame he is a nonce Rot in hell with savile and brady

[@thegapshow]

It still no good, spoilt

[@arandomguy4637]

The gayest song of all time.

[@jtorst3789]

Amateurs! Monkeys!!
