just finished marc hunter's biography, chasing the dragon. such a brilliant mind, singer, man. such a destructive life style...gone too soon. rip marc hunter
omg! this is classic aussie rock right here! this song takes me back 2 my youth, when paddle pops were 20 cents, twisties were 1 0cents, petrol was dirt cheap, mum drove a n orange datsun, u could leave your doors open.... summer was just awesome!
@SuperFUCKtheNWO we got all alot in common then my friend im aussie greek/macedonian descent but I love this country im born here but my mum and dad arent born here but there proud to say there Aussie as well MATE
Dragon only played this song once live and that was at Penrith Leagues Club (NSW) way back when, I went to see them play and they were incredible, met a few of them at the bar, can still remember it like it was yesterday, favourite song of theirs. RIP Marc
Fabulous music, great talent. Why do they have age????? I love Cuba. great food, music, culture and the worlllllds best medical system. Hope I can visit one day!
A great video,this is so nice,it made me cry,I love that feeling somtimes,memouries live on inside us untill we die.I feel all choked up.Please don't hate James Reyne though,he is a good man who probably did'nt realise his voice would over power the weed heads.Look dragon are mouth breathers compared to noble beautiful refined James Reyne,''oh sorry to reyne on your dragon parade!
Saw Marc Hunter & Dragon, live, a couple of months before Marc died. I'd just met the man I ended up marrying. This is OUR song. Not very romantic, but it's the first song we danced to. Thanks for posting this vid.
Someone complained about the wrong speed for the video but normal speed for the vocals. Well, this version was at the correct speed. And the video clip for this song on 'Dragon Mix' is also problem free.
I've never heard of Dragon before (and I am 40), but than I saw the movie "The Ferryman" (2007) where they played it. I was electrified LOL. In Europe this band is totally unknown. I couldn't even load this video from youtube in fucking Germany (not available in you country!), had to use a VPN-service. Assholes. This band is great. I hope to find some songs of them in mp3 on the internet. Cheers!
LOL @#missbanana4lyf "AUSTRALIA HAS CRAP SINGERS MATE! " I take it you are a kid and have never heard of AC/DC or INXS or Cold Chisel, Silverchair, Powderfinger.. I could go on and on about these INTERNATIONAL acts that Australia has produced but you get the picture... New Zealand has its fair share of good bands but its funny how they ALL come to OZ to make it big mate ;)
wish I went to see them in concert...my sister and her husband went and said the lead singer was really drunk on stage...good on him for having a great time!
@missbanana4lyf well the term "MATE" is Australian. And what a stupid thing to say in the first place.....there are plenty of good singers from all over the world.
they might be from New Zealand, but they were living in Sydney, Australia when this was recorded and that's the mighty Terry Chambers from Swindon, England on drums.
I remember my mum taking me to a place called the sundowners at punchbowl, it was kids night on a sunday, and I used to dance to this band, back in 1977, a truly great band...
This song is so amazingly good, just makes me feel good and brings back lots of fond memories of earlier times in NZ. They don't make songs like this anymore.
I was born 1982, so glad to be an 80's kid.. Love the hair in this clip ha! Hmmm it was the height of manliness in the 80's if you had full head of hair like that wasnt it? Chicks were nuts for it lol
@murdok620 thanks....I happen to like both Australian and New Zealand bands....a lot of New Zealand bands have found their fame in Australia...like Crowded House...yes Neil Finn's band-ex Split Enz)....
