Lone Star - From All of Us to All of You (video)

[MALTYKIA]

ROBERT PLANT POSES......

[MALTYKIA]

BURN ...DEEP PURPLE !!!

[TheSilversurfur]

Well sludgefingers thats all very clever stuff, I bet you got a big graph hanging up in your bedroom .Who cares they really rock!

[sludgefingers]

Saw these live in the 70s. They had all the ingredients (despite a slightly too obvious Zeppelin template). I think if they'd kept going till the punk/new wave frenzy died down they could have been really big. However, takeoff didn't happen probably because in 77-78 no new(ish) out-and-out rock bands were getting any press or investment.

[tbird722]

Saw them at Hammersmith Odeon (as it was then called) with Kenny Driscoll on vocals, then at the Rainbow Finsbury park with John Sloman on vocals, both excellent gigs and this band should of been massive. Most reports say bad management and finances killed them but to me you can never kill great memories....

[cheekymonkey1979]

Yeah the vocal delivery on the verse is very Phil Lynott in terms of cadence. And that's no bad thing!

[rallyivan1234]

Is Tony Smith on guitars?

[greatleahart]

i love you´r voice Mr Loman...

[lindenschmitstr]

[tet1963]

The opening riff is very very like Burn by Deep Purple. They sound a bit like Lizzy.

[tet1963]

The riff is very very like Burn by Deep Purple.

[Hellishcrusade]

Fucking good band

[Andytech0]

Where is Dixie Lee these days ? I saw him in a local band about 20 years ago . Was it called final demand ??

[bornlate54]

[bigtwin64]

Great! Is there any more? Wasn't one of their Radio 1 gigs a sight and sound broadcast?

[AEGIAN1]

[zepxdt]

one of the single most underrated albums in the history of rock. if you love this you have discovered the holy grail...oh yeah

[gorgonslave]

would have loved to have lived back then haha.

[RIGBERTSTEIN]

Fantastic band i still have lonstar album up in the loft signed by the drummer who live in red ruth cornwall, v/ humble guy he new one of my mates. first song i heard was she said she said, which in my opion was better then the beatles. if only they were still playin together today.i believe there manager shafted them big time. this band is one of the reasons i waanted to sing in a band myself. they could of been as good as led zepp in my opinion, keep on rockin boys where ever you are! Riggs

[newportgwentdragons]

I met Tony yesterday, great guy, good band

[diamonddave666]

Yes I saw John Sloman on the Gary Moore 1981 tour. Great frontman. I think he was with Uriah Heep also in the early 80's

[volitionlocked]

Sooner the better Roberto - post away :)

[stigmaweb]

Gee where did you get this??

[RockbertoRocks]

From Paul Chapman's website some 5 years ago. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

[XxINFECTIONxX95]

I think my dad wrote that on mhy account. becuase he manages bands, so that wasnt me saying that.

[XxINFECTIONxX95]

I was the manager of Lone Star from the beginning before they even got their record deal through to the end and was at all of their shows and I never saw this before.....where did it come from.....amazing.....does anyone have the tv show Rock Goes to College that Lone Star did for the BBC

[thehophouse]

Steve? ~about 15 years ago we discussed where the tapes might have gone. You told me the band had been given one VHS of the OGWT (someone, ages back, told me Paul Chapman has that) and the Rock Goes to College tape might exist on Umatic. I was working for IPC at the time and keen to feature the band as part of a new project... but enquiries at the BBC fell on deaf ears. I hear they have their archive in better shape now. Have you asked David Clayton for advice on this?

[sickdrjoe]

Many thanks for posting this! People forget that the two LS albums appeared in a landscape barren of heavy rock - the Punk/Disco years - which was the only thing that kept them from being huge.

I preferred Kenny - incredible voice - but Sloman did a great job too. Shame about the shameless Plant mannerisms, though.

[jrmroxx]

Hi, man, they did a session for john peel with kenny driscoll singing this song, anyone got a copy of this mine has worn out (taped off jp 75 or 76)

Awsum band awsum song

[theylive23]

Really like the band, but that opening riff gets awfully close to 'Burn' :)

[steadynow911]

I bought both albums when they came out fantastic stuff

[zepxdt]

you are the greatest human being on the planet at this moment,searched forever some shots of this band on youtube.the most underated album of all time.going to stop now iam welling up.

[RockbertoRocks]

I'm really glad you appreciate such a great band. I'll try to upload more songs. Cheers!

[actooon]

Remember that single, I am bassplayer and I always LOVE this man's bassplayin'.... It is soooo STRONG!!!` Old good Precision bass.

I can't remember what's the name of the song on other side of single... But I have melody in my ears. Hypnotic Mover maybe???

[stevej2112]

They probably vanished when Paul Chapman joined UFO. I remember that John Sloman sang with Gary Moore in the early days. Thanks for the post - good memories!

[SabuPtolemy]

Some of the Lone Star guys still play. Chapman is doing Gator County in Florida w/ 4 members of the original Molly Hatchet; John Sloman did a Praying Mantis album in '03 and is working solo; Pete Hurley played with the Red Hot Pokers and backed Van Morrison for a couple of years, and Kenny Driscoll has the KD Band with Burke Shelley from Budgie doing covers around South Wales.

[RockbertoRocks]

Great info, thanks.

[victimsofthefuture]

Kenny Driscoll (from the first Lone Star album) also sang with Gary Moore as well. Gary Moore tended to use a lot of session musicians during his early career.

[gorgonslave]

great singing

[gorgonslave]

thank you very much

[alibunga]

Thanks it's great to find something new, I saw them at Sheffield City Hall in 77 but they vanished after UFO stepped in. I remember them being on OGWT but never seen any footage.

[davewellbeloved]

Cardiff's finest!

[lxlandia]

WOW!! I've never seen any video footage of this band. Thanks for the post. Freakin' awesome!!

[hooverdog1957]

Me either, thanks!
