Obviously one of the best guitarist and singers in Australia such a great musician, i was lucky enough to meet him in 2005 and as well as being a great musician he was also a very nice person. Keep on rocking Kev!
@twirctv thank you and no worries... i'm only too happy to hear from somebody involved... are you able to identify the venue and year this was shot.... i'm oly guessing it's 1979.
Ohhhhhh yeah he can go down on me..................the way his fingers play that guitar and make it talk just makes me go oooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah
brings back memories seein' borich supporting chain and george thorogood ay the sefton hotel early eighties,those were the days,heaps of cones and beers,then party and groove to this lot of muso's............yewwwwwwwwwww
He played for free sponsored gigs at the checkers? club in Sydney round 78/79. I knew I was before rock n roll royaly the first chord he hit on that Gibson flying V. My friend Gilbert and I were blown away. Thanks Kevin! Thanks nzoz for the post
NOW THIS IS FUCKING COOOOL..ONE OF THE FIRST LIVE PUB GIGS I EVER WENT TO..BOMBAY ROCK..I WAS ONLY 17..SHH..KEV ALL WAYS GAVE 100%..AND FUCKING LOUD TOO..IS THAT JOHN ANNIS ON DRUMS AND TIM PARTRIDGE ON BASS..ROKCN BLUES LEGEND..ALL BOWWW NOWWWW...
Hmm.. as far as wanker goes. I'd be surprised if he wasn't. Show me a guy who says he doesn't & I'll show you a liar ;-)
That said K.B.E's 1st album was brilliant & this was my song favorite on it. It was made to be played loud. One of the gigs I saw they had a small spot light focused out into the crowd like the headlight of a train. At the start of the song was darkness. It grew bigger as the "Train" got closer. then changed to 2 strobe lights out of sync with each other. An awesome effect.

I remember seeing The Party Boys at Selinas (Sydney) with Borich and Joe Walsh (Eagles) as the two guitarists, in the 80's sometime. They had some epic duels, each out the front of their half of the stage, trading solos....I think Borich wiped the floor with him.
Another good Party Boys memory - Shellharbour Workers Club near Wollongong, Shirley Strachan the singer, Borich there as usual, and Jimmy Barnes joining them for a few songs (he lived not too far away up in the Southern Highlands)
"I reckon kevin Borich is the NZ/Aussie version of Gary Moore. Can play heaps, but is a wanker" - quote from ewbie100.
And my response follows with:
"Borich is a wanker? Really? Damn, what a let down! :-( "...
Now that you see that, HOW ABOUT TRYING TO FUCKING READ FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING CUNT! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU ANSWER ME LIKE THAT WHEN I DIDN'T MAKE SUCH A COMMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
@nzoz1979 IT WAS A MERE RESPONSE TO WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAD SAID ABOUT HIM. I DID NOT IMPLY THAT BORICH IS A WANKER, NOR DID I SUPPORT EWBIE'S INITIAL RESPONSE, SO FUCKING PACK IT IN YOU STUPID MORON.
HOW FUCKING DARE YOU ANSWER ME LIKE THAT WHEN I'M THE ONE WHO PUT ALL THIS SHIT ON YOUTUBE YOU SELFISH PATHETIC CUNT.
AGAIN, I WILL TELL YOU TO READ OVER SOMETHING REPEATEDLY BEFORE ANSWERING TO SOMEBODY NEXT TIME. NOW FUCK OFF!!!!!!
@nzoz1979 Thank you for your kinds words and wonderful description of me. Please forgive my pathetic ignorance. I'm new to how you tube works I didn't realise your comment was merely a response to someone else's. Now I know. Thank you for taking the time to reply. When I first saw the comment I took it on face value and didn't recognise it to be a sarcastic response to another's comment.
@funkydudey@nzoz1979 I do realise in retrospect that my comments are quite harsh, I'd had a few too many beers at the time and was quite excited to see this excellent clip. I was affronted to see Kevin Borich described as such. Forgive me for my passion. However while I was pissed, what's your excuse?
@nzoz1979 and funkey dudey..this conversation is f*ing ace. the vibe is just like staggering by and hearing a couple of drunks arking up at the Bondi pavillion. Now I remember clearly that time when I wasn't a middle aged twat on a computer ... Thanks guys. ..maintain the rage! good stuff!!

Please please please!!!!!!! Anybody got any footage of rock arena 77 Melb. Calder Park Raceway - Borich and Santana. Would love to relive that unbeleivable concert. GOOOOOO Borich!!!!!
thanks for the info ..someone else asked was this from the Abc show Rockarena ..i dont think so ..that was live in the studio ..now that would be great to see..they do most songs of the first two Kevin Borich Express albums ..from a very dim memory ''Rescue dream'' with the that great bass line was one of the highlights..anyone have a video of it to post???
Great playing, just never liked the song. All pyrotechnics, no depth of feeling, bland lyrics. KB just needed some decent material and there would have been no stopping the Express.
Do you mean John Annas? He played on Celebration. I saw Borich twice over the w'end here in Melbourne. John Annas is STILL playing with him, and they are both playing better than ever. He tore the Williamstown RSL apart on Sunday. Legends.
I never missed seeing Kevin Borich at any of the pubs on Sydneys Northern Beaches. Probably the most unrecognized world beating slide guitarists on the planet. - Karlos
KB opened for Status Quo @ Myer Music Bowl mid 76 ....just amazing Qup played at some decibel level that caused complaints from 5 miles away....ohh the inhumanity of it :-))
Phil Keys. That's his name. Whatever happened to Band of Light? I can't find any trace of them. I used to see the La De Das at Cabramatta back in the mid 70's.
They split up in 1974 - Key went on to become a taxi driver and died from heart problems in 1984 - ironically the La De Das were planning to reform at that time...
I loved this guy! He was my hero in high school. Saw him at the local pubs in Melbourne, the Music Bowl and the the legendary Racecourse gig where Santana called him out for a jam at the end of his gig. AWESOME!!
I saw Kev in Wellington around 80-82 at the Victoria University. AWESOME. Is this from the Rock Arena TV gig. I am desperate to get a hold of that on DVD. If anyone has a copy - I can do a good trade. Thanx for posting
This bought back a few memories. A Kevin Borich concert was something you always looked forward to. Probably one of the best slide guitar players around.
