Where`s the Sunbury `75 footage of AC/DC fighting Deep Purple onstage?

[TyranusForte]

eww, why do australians like gross hairstyles and borring rock music?

[oldaussiemusic]

@TyranusForte Because us Aussies back then think gross hairdos n boring rock music is cool going by your opinion lol. In reality, early 70s it was still the hippy era hence the wild hairdos and blues rock music was very much appreciated back then, the Sunbury scene was very similar to Woodstock.

[matthk]

@oldaussiemusic They were the unofficial 'Sharpie' band. Lobby Lloyde formed them, and later (for like, 30 years) ran one of Australia's best rock recording studios (in Richmond, where I met him several times around 1989).

Sharpies were anything but hippes. The sharpie scene was a precursor to skins and was arguably the most violent of scenes in modern Australian history.

Lobby Lloyd basically broke the band up because he didn't want to be associated with the thug element.

@TyranusForte boring rock music, fuck off mate.

@TyranusForte

how old are you? The Coloured Balls, one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever!

How about AC/DC also great & Australian. You are only showing your ignorance by leaving by leaving by leaving your narrow minded comments! go listing to some rap!

By the way, I love a lot of different music! including Green Day & Pink.

[TyranusForte]

@AussieNusa I'm old enough to know that acdc is the most boring band ever. simplest drum beats ever.corniest lyrics ever..

and for that matter pink and greenday both suck too.

you're not as smart as you think. I'm only attacking you because you attacked me and this is the internet.

I'm narrow minded?

understand what I'm saying instead of just getting angry and leaving hate comments. I don't like your blues rock..the only band from australia I've ever liked was the birthday party.

[earthless1990]

good jam but quality of Summer Jam very bad

[bramley1001]

Lobby's solo sounds like some kid in a music store on Saturday morning here.

[spacemanGoldie]

@bramley1001 LOL - so true....

[guild93]

Do you know of anything from Sunbury 1974 existing aside from the Cinesound newsreel?

[biffo555]

It is Sunbury 73 and it is The Coloured Balls in the vision, but that is not the song they are playing. The song is last few bars of an eleven and a half minute jam, "Help Me/Rock Me Baby" going into "Going Down" also featuring Billy Thorpe and Leo de Castro released as Summer Jam. As the back cover notes "recorded live at Sunbury 73 between the hours of 3.30 a.m. and 4.45 a.m. on Monday 29th January..." It was still dark, still 90+farenheit and I was there.

[ManFromMelbourne]

Wow! Skinheads who can actually play. Unlike that 3 chord oi stuff.

[MargVR]

It is the beginning of Help me/ Rock Me Baby which was released on Summer Jam in 1973 by Mushroom records.
