Spectrum - I'll Be Gone on Move

[MrGbarn]

Wwonderful memories flood back of my childhood in Sydney when I first heard this incredible song. My dad loved it, played it and sang along with great pleasure...he's gone.

love you and miss you dad R.I.P.

Who's the meathead who pressed the dislike button? This song kicks anything sung nowadays.

[EnarPilrith1]

Love this classic tune.

[GalaxyHorse]

Interesting how this one song seems to represent an entire generation of Australian Men (in particular), you hear that opening Harmonica riff and you get instant rapport. Congratulations on writing a near-perfect Blues/Pop song, no easy feat. I just love this song.

moving around and feeling free,that's for me...!!!***

I remember listening to this on 3AK, where no wrinklies fly. A classic Aussie band and song. Great harmonica work too.

[GalaxyHorse]

This was the first complex Blues Harp piece I worked out-it is a real honey of a riff.

Great song, says a lot in few words.

[anoldreg]

reminds me of the old school of sigs at balcombe

Mike here. Who's that?

[janama77]

This is the original version of the song recorded by Ernie Rose at Armstrongs studios. It was the original hit record. '

I re-recorded it later with the more predominant slap back echo in the opening hand claps which became the dominant version of the song.

[janama77]

@janama77

Actually I realise now it's my version. It was so long ago.

[slaxwell55]

Onya Mike...Great song... Aussies are unique when it comes to songwriters...

[elbide]

@slaxwell55 Thanks for the feedback. A whole career has been hung on that one song!

[bondsee]

great stuff spectrum it has stood the test of time,great track great memories from a great decade. unlike the crap we hear today keep rocking mike !!

[newtoolsformonkeys]

keep playing it...it's f****** great. I love the latest laid-back version also. The harp made the track. Loved it when it was first released, and still love it.

[newtoolsformonkeys]

Harp, vox and lyrics are great...one sweet tune...when I think of Spectrum, it's this track that always comes to mind. It's now 2010, and this song still sounds great.

[elbide]

@newtoolsformonkeys And we're still playing it.

Mike.

[catandpiddle]

great, timeless memories. thank you!

[teenee4]

What key does he play the harmonica in?

[elbide]

@teenee4 That's a G harp.

[oscbon1]

[elbide]

@oscbon1 Hi Edna. I'll try and send this and if it works I'll follow up.

Mike.

[elbide]

@oscbon1 OK - it worked. But the next one didn't.. Bugger. This one will though. What have you been up to in the intervening decades?

Mike.

This is one of the greatest tunes you will find. It will resonate in your mind for quite a while, and then, like me, you will have to search for it. That is the best music, the ones you have to have. Where are you now Spectrum, because you need to ...
