Recorded at Strawberry Studios South, Dorking, Surrey and taken from the album Deceptive Bends named after a roadsign on the famous Mickleham bends just down the road.
Too many of the bands from this period (and every since, I would include) take themselves far too seriously. These guys were such fun. I still find them as listenable now as I did back in the 70's :o]
10cc have just given us the recipe for success: Hard work, Self humour, Lots of talent, do only what you like and are good at, first the music and only than the money and fans.
One of the few bands on you tube that will play the live sound instead of an overdubbed audio track.
Sounds worse than rubber bullets album but still love it!!! its real and miss this kind of music. 70s and 80s were the best. when 92 93 hit music died. no feeling and no story to be told. thanks for posting!!! excellent!
so happy i dont wanna be free???? sitting in fort aguada jail for smoking the weed ,playing gin rummy with my new friends murderers and dacoits,,,so happy i dont wanna be free?try it you may change lyric to so unhappy i wanna be free..sorry boys no offence meant,love this song part of my misspent youth...viva la rock n roll
I also was at the Tower show and the Capital show in Passaic NJ, in 78 they had movie screens on both sides of the stage and were pissed at the NJ show cause the capital uses close circuit TV and the screens where in the same place 10CC used, they almost walked, one of the most underrated progressive bands of the 70s!
That's actually correct mic technique - especially if you have a lot of backline volume. Allows the sound tech to run his/her trim gain levels lower, thus having less risk of feedback.
I'm a little older, 27, but 70's rock is about 90% of the stuff on my playlists. I'm not sure how I ran across this band. Out of all the songs of theirs on Youtube, I like this one the best by far. Most of the others are a bit too slow for me.
Actually, I think I may have found this band by looking for some 1977 Nova's. A '77 Nova was my first car and I missed it. I've got a '76 now but it's just not the same.
Amazing, even better than the studio recording, I like the clean guitar sounds without the add-ons.
This one for you JIF882, if you are new into 10CC, you have just scratch the surface. You will enjoy all their music, and you are 25.... I could be your father by age so I am very glad even you can enjoy them. Buy their albums!!!
Awesome!! I'm new to 10cc music. Love The Things We Do For Love and I'm Not In Love. Also love G&C's Cry. I've ordered this CD, Deceptive Bends, from Amazon. It was originally released in 1977
That's good you think this is good album. I'm 25 yrs old. Just discovering 10cc. Thought they were way too poppy. They are pop, but good pop like Beatles, Badfinger, Sparks, Split Enz, and ELO. Not bad pop like Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, or Carpenters. 10cc are intelligent pop
AnnieOakley53 you made my day! i gave my copy of this to eric stewart in '93 and haven't seen it since. he was unaware of it's existence so had the great honour of meeting the man. they say you should never meet your hero, 'they obviously haven't met eric stewart then! what a true gentleman.
I'm just so jealous; I'd have gladly given my copy of the DVD of this concert to Eric; in fact he could have had my whole collection! You're right, he is a lovely man.

Saw this under rated band back in 1978? 1979? at the great Tower Theater in Philly.One of the best live acts back in the day.
