Thanks New Zealand! But all hale our 70's to 90's shared pub rock scene; and a curse on poker machines!!!

[@grahamsheehan6409]

No-one else had a voice like Mike Rudd ... that is his legacy

[@Scottie_S]

Classic Australian music. My band still happily covers this because we know that everywhere we play it, people go nuts!

[@helenburdis1927]

Fucking fantastic!

[@musicroolsman994]

Cool man and never stop. Peace.

[@EclecticStranger]

holy shit ! his voice is so strong... this is perfect..the original was more mellow..this is just..dominating.. so damn good !!!

[@ianclarke653]

Timeless classic from the Spectrum front man - grew up on this Australian classic music!!

[@allymayful]

The most exciting era of Aussie music. A really individual style started to develop in the early 70s.

[@Larry-go8bg]

Great song one if the most soulful harmonica peaces in history in my late 60s now and still get chills when l hear it the power of great music go Mike.👀✌️

[@pecos4006]

I came to Australia in 1971, I still have thease memories.Sunbury festival, Berties, Sebastian, Pennats galery, Matthew Flinders Hotel,International hotel ets...ets ets.Good all times.I teach my grand son the songs of our time.

[@joewain2876]

Mike Rudd is like fine wine gets absolutely better with age. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@gregstuart9783]

Russell Morris too!

[@StuTheDon17]

The best Australian song of all time. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

[@kavallan]

[@500skubes]

Boy Swallows Universe brought me here. Good stuff.

[@NorsePJ]

To think that Mike will be turning 70 this year. He still retains his great vocals.

[@kassandraheywood1030]

This song hasnt lost any of the brilliance of the original. I was born when the original came out and i still love it. brilliant

[@simonovessimon4242]

Mike Rudd ,,such a masterpiece voice --best one hit wonder still good today

[@stephenformosa471]

James Reyne sings a good version of it as well

[@davidrogers2104]

This is absolutely flawless and amazing given that it is 45 years after Spectrum first performed this song. Brilliant.

[@john_milner]

Wow ... Mike Rudd just sounds golden ... SPECTRUM one of the best OZ bands ...

[@brianohehir9515]

Slipped this one in to our bands rep, crowds just luv this song. Kudos to Rudd and spectrum, great oz music!

[@lanakorvin2445]

Incredible, as good if not better than when he was younger, wow ! what an incredible talent, so gifted Mike Rudd and your band too !!

[@brettmcpherson4749]

Love it, I'm a Harmonica player too, been playing over 30 years now,,,

[@davidbodycomb666]

Mike Rudd and Spectrum were the first live band I ever saw. Amazing sound, outdoors, between the goalposts on the Elizabeth High School oval at lunchtime. After a few songs, Mike introduced their new song "I'll Be Gone". Sooo amazing as a 13 year old...no turning back ..."rock'n'roll here I come!"

[@herbertrude1689]

Thanks for the music Mike Rudd. Yo a bird, not a human, expelling one sinuous thread of pure song.

[@andrewclark237]

Its called 'intonation'...which in this case is spot on, not # or b its just flipp'n spot on.....11 people voted this down, man...you people are nowhere....

[@miss3305]

Wow! Love this, what a voice. Far more famous singers than him in the same age group who can't hold a candle to him, amazing.

[@ThePaybak]

Mike is genuine to the core and more! His harmonica and lyrics keep this masterpiece timeless.

[@leonardwashington6456]

Heard Colin Hay mention this in an interview. Never heard of Mike Rudd or Spectrum before, but this is going on my playlist. 💯

[@drskezzer]

The Rockwiz orchestra are a brilliant backing band.

[@gjpercy]

Absolutely amazing performance. Rock solid vocals, harmonica and backing!

[@magarnigle100]

Hell yer, best ever song played in rock Wiz .. and lovely man

[@kanal5296]

So mucho thank you! Up to this minute I only knew this from Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Thank you again.

[@SunFlower3Happy]

Melbourne has always been a musical centre for artists and musicians. Great Spectrum song- nice performance.

[@aaronstately]

melbourne is a shithole... Abortions are our thing..

[@59markr]

Glorious listening in 2023!

[@AllSpace]

he singing it higher than the original still sounds good

[@caretakerfoch6103]

A feckin brilliant rendition. Rudd has lost nothing and that backing band was the ace of aces. NEVER shoulda let that keyboard/guitar virtuoso slip away.

[@lostraxx]

Working on a project and happened to meet Mike on the web, now I can put a contemporary face to the name. Way to go Mike! Hadn't seen this one before.

[@jr774]

Wow! What a great performance. Well done Mike.

[@shaunallanson9068]

I saw Mike last night in Adelaide still bloody brilliant ... Was so good to catch up with him and the boys Robbo, Brock, Daz... Thanks For A Great Night

[@staffy109]

Still one of my favourites, even though Mike can't replicate the exact sound from all those years ago still 100% cheers dennis

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

This song and Eagle Rock... anthems of the '70's.... great stuff!

[@chemistryset1]

God I love this live version. I'll be honest, my mates and I used to kind make fun of this song when we were kids; it's daggy (but in retrospect really cool) black and white video, the loping groove, the hippy-lyrics; we thought it was hilarious. Over the years though I've grown very fond of the song. This version is really stirring.

[@mangolassi_.]

Awesome song and great performance!

[@turrafirmaguitarchannel]

What a sweet set of pipes 🤩

[@musicroolsman994]

I first saw Spectrum playing at a farm in a shearing shed in 1970. Was part of the entertainment linked to the weekend Cobram Peaches and Cream Festival in 1970. Main stage was back at beautiful Thomson's Beach in Cobram and there were huge logs to lean against while sat on the sand enjoying the music. I stupidly got wasted that weekend 🤢and can't remember if the Master's Apprentices turned up? If they did i'm sure would have enjoyed their magnificence. 😀👍 Have great daytime memories of that weekend so long ago and are pleasant memories. Cheers cobbers. Life, music and memories are all i have but that's all an old fart like me needs anyway. 😜😎Peace.

[@Andrewkafp]

Love that track. About 1970 I guess.

[@jarrodhinvest3931]

mike...incredible ....you are a legend!

[@MrZerosphere]

It's a long time since I've heard the word 'gas' used like that. In fact it would have been around the time when this song was new.
