Graham Bonnet - Night Games (TOTP 1981) (Cozy Powell)

[TheJosapappa1000]

one of my idols and heroes. i did see the guy in finland 2008

[Pwrcritter]

Difficult song. Try singing this and not sounding like a dork!

[kuay88]

One of the greatest rock singers of all time.

[TheJosapappa1000]

i saw he at myötätuulirock 2008...i wishd id had some day all his albums

[mrtopgun0123]

rainbow never the same after he left.joe lynne turner not a patch on graham

[LanDio1981]

@mrtopgun0123

Honestly, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow wasn't the same after Ronnie James Dio. All Blackmore wanted was to make Rainbow a mainstream-oriented band.

[axispedal]

most pussy ever got = Graham Bonnet

[wagsouza]

SUCKS !!!

[Enerjee]

This sounds like the Dooley's - "Wanted".

[diamond4512]

グラハムボネット、ボーカル最高！！

できればもう少し長くレインボーで活動してほしかったが。

声量、歌唱力、共に抜群！！

[livemusicloverLyn]

One skill that Graham Bonnet and Cozy Powell don't have is miming on TOTP! This was obviously of the era when they were not allowed to perform live.

[ineedatimemachine]

still got the 45rpm yeah good stuff

[gilllianlewis730]

DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST (THOUGH UNDERRATEED )OF 1981. I WISH TODAYS MUSIC WAS JUST AS GOOD.

[HUEYJR69]

hell of a singer

[sin1987runescape]

That solo was pathetic compared to malmsteens.

[Gillanfan89]

@sin1987runescape

Hold on, i know the solo isn't special but you just can't compare Moody to malmmsten

[Zukatsr125]

@Gillanfan89 ,,hold on.. Alot of guitarplayers beat malmsteen. That is the truth.

[Gillanfan89]

@Zukatsr125

You didn't understand me. I said you can't compare malmsteen to Micky Moody because Moody is 10 times better guitarist... malmsteen means absolutely nothing to me

[Zukatsr125]

@Gillanfan89 lol okey,, i mean that Malmsteen is overrated. 

[Gillanfan89]

@Zukatsr125

I absolutely agree. All those "guitar hero" type of guitarist from the 80's like malmmsteen, satriani, steve vai, paul gilbert... and so on are so much overrated.

They're technically very good, but neither of them have a bit of emotions like for example Gallagher had, or Gary Moore or already mentioned Micky Moody (especially when he's teamed up with Bernie Marsden)

[Zukatsr125]

@Gillanfan89 yes your right, its not that hard to play fast, but to create a really nice song is a totally diffrent thing to do.. But, you will brake my heart in 2 peaces if you say that Buckethead is overrated :P lol ..

[Gillanfan89]

@Zukatsr125

I've listened to him, to be honest he isn't so overrated (like satriani is) but his sound is experimental, not so close to my taste, but i've always had respect towards him (expect the mistake that he made by playing in the band "Axl Rose and Little Thorns" so called new G'n'R which i can't digest at all !

[MUDSHARK111]

@Gillanfan89 "emotions like for example Gallagher had" blues fans tend to think they have a monopoly on emotion ,thinking emotion just just one thing but they are often mistaken .vai for eg is one of the most passionate players i have ever heard .its fair to say he is not suited to the pentatonic, but then Gallagher what hardly be comfortable in the complexity of some of vais tunes . Gilbert is quirky and fun and he knows how to make it exciting .malms has fire and "feel"

[bullet391]

@sin1987runescape

but then Malmsteens no Blackmore either!

[whitbyjet65]

@sin1987runescape You must be kidding. Malmsteen is a one trick pony. He's just a tuneless shredder.

[sin1987runescape]

@whitbyjet65 An opinion that i disagree with but thats your opinion.

[human200freedom]

@sin1987runescape that solo was melodic.... malmsteen is a show off !! technique is not everything in music

[CrosbyStillsNashYoun]

fuck i hate playback

[AlexBlackRecords]

I saw this new. I loved him instantly I think we all did. I loved TOTP too there's nothing like it anymore. No one has ever been quite so real as Graham was. Thanks for sharing this mate.

[1970GWB]

Defined Graham Bonnet is one of my favorite vocalists.

Not just by your voice and visual, that are unique, but because he is an excellent

songwriter.

His vocal lines are great, and unique.

Here is the proof.

[Gillanfan89]

@1970GWB

I'm afraid he doesn't look good nowadays... I'm not sure but looks that he is seriously ill..

And he still goes on touring.... That's bravery for me

[Polymar1]

@1970GWB quote

[stephenDB]

@1970GWB yes he is very good.....but he didn't write this one.

It was written by Ed Hamilton.... great song :-)

[Vimafili74]

wow ... alive the nostalgia

[Vimafili74]

wow ... alive the nostalgia

[uke1964]

they maid a album what was it called .who can tell me

[Gillanfan89]

@uke1964

Well if by THEY you mean Bonnet with Moddy, Cozy Powell & Jon Lord. Then they released and album called Line Up from 1981

[uke1964]

@Gillanfan89 cheers

[Gillanfan89]

@uke1964

No problem

[GSDSD2707]

@uke1964 - The album was called 'Line-up'

[1sussexmatt]

Didn't Francis Rossi play the lead guitar on this track on the album (i know thats not him on the video)

[Gillanfan89]

@1sussexmatt

No no Micky Moody played lead guitar. And some other guitar parts were played by Ray Fenwick

[MrRossi48]

@1sussexmatt

Francis Rossi produced this song and he also played coral sitar on the track

[Gillanfan89]

@MrRossi48

Really ? That's new one for me, thanks

[nik1969100]

Dio, Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner! Had any hard rock band ever sported such an array of greatly talented vocalists?

[BigMrFirebird]

@nik1969100 Sabbath. Ozzy, Dio, Gillan.

[alfoon1]

This is such a bad mime job. Shame cos he has one of the best voices of his time and still has.

[Baggins412]

@alfoon1 ok as someone who actually remembers watching this on totp on its first showing this is not bad mime but simply out of sinc ,it may very well be mimed my memory isn't that good ,,but this is defintootley a sinc issue.

[TheFatherted666]

sorry forgot your right

[TheFatherted666]

the best song rainbow ever made fucking amazing boona englang

[QueenReigns1]

@TheFatherted666

Apart from just 1 thing..Rainbow didn't make this song...Graham Bonnet released it after he left them.

Could be the best song Rainbow NEVER made though !

[glamer2010]

gran tema de graham bonnet

[DCHurlford1]

More excellent digging from your good self Igor. I've got this song on one of those cheapo "Rock N Roll Years -1981" cd compilations. Good, strong vocal performance from Mr Bonnet on this track and the song rocks along nicely. Cheers for posting.

[jhep1]

i got the album when it came out. Always liked this tune.
