I Bought This Single That Summer, Surprised To Find The Name 'C Berry' In Small Type On The 45 - "Oh, THAT Johnny!" (in my def: i was 12, & there were alot of things i didn't know - still are, for that matter...still are)

[carefreesteve]

@InBklynDust This is TOTP repeated on UK Gold in the early 90's.

I only heard of Steve Gibbons while living in Knoxville TN...never in California...he was soooo good....

[MACHAWK123]

[kingstumble]

@doubleotwentyone It's Bob Lamb on drums.

[Andyfme]

Great vibe great song love it!!!!!!!!!!!! loads of double stops!!!

[brumgez]

I used to see SGB at Barberellas in brum around the mid 70,s. I never understood why they never achieved superstardom. they were the best live band in England at the time. and Steve was a fantastic front man. Great days!!!!

[TinSandwichUK]

@brumgez I used to roadie for Steve a bit in those days. Got to see some great bands Steve supported at Barbs like Thin Lizzy, Alex Harvey, Gong and Babe Rurh. Did you ever catch Steve in those days at the Incognito just off Hurst St. on a saturday lunch time? I've had many a Newcastle brown breakfast then.

[BrummyRH]

great nights when he guested with trevor in the red lion, ladypool rd... back in the day.

[asterixthekerryman]

@BrummyRH AH someone as old as me . . great days . .great era . . .great bands . . . .He's still got it . . maybe not at the same volume though lol

[TinSandwichUK]

@BrummyRH I used to practically live there in those days and played gob iron with Steve Ajao on Friday nights. The bass player Bob Griffen was married to Iris out of Crossroads and Ali and Brian from UB40 would be there too, what a scene it was for a grotty little back street boozer - and the stop backs .........

[joemeaden]

My uncle, Peter Meaden, was their first manager along with Bill Curbishley. He was around with them when they recorded this song. They really are great and have done so many good songs. I'm surprised they are not very famous today.

[ywalker1959]

Wow this brings back memories great stuff. xxx

[ladyskyflake]

Impossible to hear this without getting up and dancing! Brings back some very happy memories... many thanks for posting!

[crazydavedisco]

Seen them live in Bristol Colston Hall in about 1978 and they were great - the Cerwin Vega P.A. system they were going through was awsome. Keep Rockin !

[avroflier]

@crazydavedisco

That was Bob Doyles Texserve system that for it's time was amazing.

Bob went on to ML Executive (The Who company) at Shepperton then SSL and then went to Klark Teknik as salesman for Midas mixers. He is now at DigiCo.

[buckley54]

[bellgardens53]

This version is freaking good ( think Chuck Berry did it first ). It's daaaaaaaaaamnd gooooooood. Oh yeah!!! Thank you carefreesteve!

[Chuckisthebest68]

chuck berry is forever the first also today at 82y.o.

but this version is the best ;-)

[Wozza34]

Steve Gibbons is the personthat got me into rock and roll. He is underrated and under-appreciated. I hope that You Tube and associated technologies bring this brilliant performer back into the public realm.

[Zareen66]

'ROCKIN'!!! Is the 'Trevor Burton' on Bass,the same 'Trevor' that played,with 'Steve Gibbons',(founder member), of 60's group, 'The Uglys'? PS Has 'Steve Gibbon's' got ant live 'Gig's lined up 4 2009??? Any info gratefully received. THANX. x

[ash1052]

Brilliant, love Trevor Burton from The Move on bass.....and love your hair Steve.

[wellsrams]

Yes, the guy in the hat is Trevor Burton. On drums is Bob Lamb who went on to produce the first UB40 releases.

[SweetJeanvincent]

Great - any one have stuff on One of the Boys

[howaboutit69]

[4skinmasseure]

Love It. Can someone please please post Watching the River Flow by Steve Gibbons?

[pikeman07]

God if only!! The only chance of that is just an audio from the live album...great track though!

[Turnyffel]

I miss too Doen In the Bunker

[PhilFCUM]

Unless I'm very much mistaken, the guitarist in the hat is Trevor Burton, who played in The Move with Roy Wood (later of ELO and Wizzard) and Bev Bevan (also later of ELO). They had hits with Blackberry Way, Fire Brigade and Flowers In The Rain.

[barchardy]

yes thats burton,

[jacquillo]

[Mahlcolm]

Great band! Can someone out there post "Down in the bunker"?

[thehophouse]

Simply fantastic. Get out there and see Steve doing his Dylan Project. Still crazy (and fantastic) after all these years.
