love youtube, you can find some fabulous stuff on it, often if me and the missus are having a quiet night at home we will hook the laptop up to the 46 inch tele and sit there for hours trolling through some good old youtube faves from back in our younger days, next thing we know it is 2 or 3 in the morning and we are quite pissed :lol: but had a great night 8)

Very hard to find: Daddy Cool, 1975, live in Adelaide:

This is Skyhooks' first appearence on Countdown and Greg McAinsh was too sick to do it. The "guy" in the white suit on bass is actually McAinsh's girlfriend at the time Jenny Brown.

This was renamed "And The Band Played On" in the UK and was Vanda and Young's first chart success there since "Hello How Are You?" with the Easybeats in 1968.

Not so much rare, as a great clip from the first appearance of a band on "Countdown". Australian Crawl were about to have their big break on the show, when James Reyne was hit by a car. Note the plaster casts on each arm:

A bit of Lobby Loyde action. All three members of this incarnation of Wild Cherries played in Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs at some stage.



Something more sedate - Stars from Adelaide. Nice Miller shirt on Andy Durrant.



Ted Mulry between his ballad era and TMG. Ted wrote it, but it was actually a hit for Sherbet.

Legendary Adelaide band The Dagoes doing their great single "Ten Years On" on Music Express. There was never an official clip to this so this is GOLD!!!

Aussie rockers The Pink Fits doing their great track "On the Red". Filmed at Off The Hip records. (Spot the cameo by a SA Footyer over acting !!!! :lol: ).

Rare WA music footage from the 1960's - the Thorts. LL, not sure if you know a bit more about them?

Ross D Wylie - The Star:



42 years on, and this still sounds fantastic - The Masters Apprentices:



More Masters Apprentices - one I've always, er, loved (Mum lost her copy of "Choice Cuts" years ago, sadly:



A curio more than anything - covered well before Cher "tackled" it:



One of the more distinctive openings to a song - RIP, Ted Mulry:

Check the hair and mo on Glenn Shorrock:



VERY rare Masters Apprentices, from GTK:



Jeff St John - looking for footage with him with Copperwine also:



Chain - Matt Taylor still performs around Australia:



Jigsaw:



Skyhooks - BUT this song was banned from radio at the time, so unusual to see it on TV, taken from GTK. More unusual that Shirley didn't sing lead vocals.:



Pick the very well known TV personality on the right on guitar:

Cold Chisels "My turn to cry" was written about the next door neighbour of a girl I went to school with.

She broke his heart ;)

Jeff St John and Copperwine - appear to be original broadcast tape footage:



Jeff St John performing in the 1980's - the opening minute or so is from the school he is performing at. Note the cigarette as he talks to the kids - times change :)



Beatles In Adelaide, 1964



Beatles performing at Centennial Hall, Adelaide - I have the full performance of this concert on CD somewhere:



Very interesting footage - this is from the only Adelaide concert of ABBA (I was in the crowd that night). Some sound from the concert, but primarily footage of setting up etc, at Football Park
