John Miles - Highfly

John Miles also sang on Alan Parsons Projects albums Tales of Mystery,Stereotomy and Gaudi. He is a true professional and very much overlooked.

Thank you for putting this video up!

As an aside I would like to point out that the producer of John Miles' Rebel album was Alan Parsons (Pink Floyd, Al Stewart, The Hollies, etc) and he also produced Pilot's "Magic" single, which some of you might enjoy :)

Another one of those forgotten Brits.....

I was Johns tour manager on his first tour, was given the job my his manager Cliff Cooper of Orange music, makers of the great sounding Orange Amplifiers back in 1975.. On the first tour the band did not wear white suits. John just played like he always did, being himself. John is a talent that should have been bigger than the road he was given.

[DaveNuma]

Great range and a competent guitarist to boot!

I love John Miles ... great singer, great songwriter. I rate 'Zaragon' as one of the best ever recordings---period. All this, and I live in the US., and if you're thinking "so what", let me tell you, almost nobody knows who he is over here. Shame, huh? His first 4 (thru 'Sympathy') were consistently great. And special kudos to the brilliant lyricist Bob Marshall, who imbued John's music with so much emotion, wit and introspection.

[ray3mondo]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

Saw John Miles twice in Liverpool, more miles per hour tour late seventies and the Zaragon tour. A true singer songwriter who never forgot his northern roots.

Pull the damn thing down is a classic which people can still relate to today.

Also check out Pale Spanish Moon on the ohne filter gig Germany 1993 truly inspirational.

Always thought he was a great singer and guitarist. Love this song....

The Tina concert of 2009 is out on a live Cd WITH A FREE DVD OF THE WHOLE CONCERT in the pack for less than £9 from Amazon. Fantastic value and John is there.

[GaryT14]

Have a look at Tina Turner's recent backing band, John plays guitar & is her musical arranger. I Remember Yesterday!

[tyketto08]

Yes John has been Tina's music director for the last 10 years. It's a bit sad in a way because he is the superstar who missed the boat. Issuing all his albums on CD would certainly recover interest in his work and command nematerial. To be honest though I don't think John is interested in a come back. Some early albums have recently been realeased on CD by a Company called lemon butbeware !. The recordings are just taken from vinyl, they didn't even bother tracking down the master tapes

[jezzyby47]

ALL his albums are on CD and have been professionally mastered, i have them.

[furtles]

Saw John on the Zaragon tour at Bradford St. Georges Hall supported by none other than John Cougar Mellencamp Great night,Baby!

[MazterGuitarz]

Hey, lucky you I'd wish I was been there, just listened to hi him in the 70':s , and his muzic will be quite a forever....

[jimsol47]

Hello , i saw John every year at Newcastle city Hall with among others John melencamp, and think he is a wonderful musician, just ask Tina Turner lol or even Joe Cocker

[salvavegna]

[KickRockNow]

[MFoy61]

watched john live at the apollo , glasgow around the time this song was in the charts .. one of the best live acts i have seen .. was about 17 at the time but still remember the gig as if it was yesterday .. a certain john cougar was the support ..

[tyketto08]

Hi,

I envy you. Wished I had been there. Hopefully more uploads soon

[MFoy61]

thanx 4 this 1 .. brought it all back .. great memories !!  will look out 4 more .....

[dsslimone]

I remember the Gig at Glasgow, John Cougar got the slow hand clap and lost the plot with the welcoming Glasgow audience. Miles came on and blew them away. A genuine under rated class act. It's a shame better quality CDs are not available. STV have one on here of the Zaragon tour taster.

[matelot95]

Excellent track

[rgbarji]

God I loved the 70s: glam, disco, punk, metal -- we had it all!!!

Where has all the talent gone?

[themofc]

early in my radio career i stumbled across this gem. played the heck out of this on the old turntable. too bad it didn't hit in America. great song and terrific voice.

[nivekyarb]

The most underrated musician in the country if not the world. What a waste of talent shame on you Decca for not using this gem more!!

[hugobear1]

he did a great Robert PLant on the solo Jimmy Page tour (Outrider)....huge talent

[mal334455]

oh yes....great talent...wish we could see more of John Miles

[quickwitty1]

first guitar riff I played live at local youth club dance late 77. great song, great musician, great songwriter. John wasn,t bad either.

[grahamzx9r]

Great stuff! So underrated

[tyketto08]

Absolutely without doubt underated and mainly due to let down by the Record Company. Thanks for watching.
