Matt Taylor & Chain - I Remember When I Was Young Live 1982

[StuTube40]

Ah ....now this is what ya call music brings back some great memories.

[ExcelsiorProduction1]

I hated this song for decades, it reminded me of try hard hippies from Tasmania- They may be great in small doses, but...I was moderately surprised, this is a great performance.

[lozarok]

What a Killer !!!!!!!!!! Cheers for Posting

[aussiebmx1994]

i remember when i was young,moruya town hall,1981,grabbed a snatch & held it,awsome concert,thanks tex,for the blues u brought to town,great memories.

[cozettemason1]

I saw chain at the Warradale Hotel South Australia lat 90's. pretty cool bar session

[clownfishdesign]

I was at this gig too, both days. At the time, I wasn't as interested in the 'old hippy stuff' like Chain, being at that time more into the New Wave groups who were mostly on the first day. It was only later that I've come to appreciate how great some of the early 70s Aussie bands were.

So in retrospect, I'm glad to able to say, 'yeah, I was there, I saw this'.

[Labhrasdebuck]

Matt Taylor still rocks...

[pandoraisrad]

I first heard this song when I was 14, love it so much!

[caz4777]

As good as when I first heard it.

[cumbungi1]

I went to this Concert but didn't stay to see Chain as i think they were on the second day, biggest regret not having stayed to see them. They are the best ever Aussie Blues Band.

[K82010]

[realbudgiesmuggler]

@spector1991 Fck you spector muttering words like that about our Matt he would still fck the arse off your girl and let you cope with your sexual identity.

[TheOnlyDummkopf]

@spector1991 learn to spell faggot.

[thebluesmark]

Saw Chain on stage with Billy and the Aztecs at Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide - Blues awsome - Crowd 200 - 300

1973

[gazzzza]

@the bluesmark also seen Chain doing a gig @the Mercury Lounge (What a fucking Hole) and was there to see and hear Billy Thorpe at the end for the all on stage jam actually call Phil manning a fucking Arse hole as he just blew Billy right off the stage Phillis the man  what a great guitarist this guys is , totally inspiring

[Thebirdienumnum]

I remember seeing these guys at the Shenton Park Hotel in Perth.

Matt Used to go on the dance floor and dance with anyone who would join in!

Great stuff!

[ld68]

@Thebirdienumnum

Hell yeah !!! Seen them at the Shents a few times. In later years, Matt had John Meyer on guitar who is an amazing player but just seem right like Phil Manning.

[leneghp]

just as a matter of being proud of australian music chain, plus madder lake, spectrum, blackfeather and jim keays masters apprentices will be at the palms at the crown casino in melbourne on the 13th of March 2010

[kanodong]

great gig at the Blues Club on tuesday. They've really got the sound perfect at the Charles.

[186sparkie]

[etniesno1]

[bootzen33]

@etniesno1 It's Barry (Big Goose)

[SensualBlues]

Don't forget to see Chain when they are around next.

Phil Mannings website lists all the latest gig information (Chain's gigs are listed below Phil's solo gigs on his Tour page).

[almudjk]

woww. i didnt know matt could play the guitar. i saw them 3 weeks ago they're still rockin'

[Lost]

I woke up this morning and I looked around I said to my self what have i found...whats the name of that song again? No Milk had been delivered and there was none on the breast's so even little children had to suffer with the rest..I remember the words Just not the song title

[SensualBlues]

'We'll never do the same again', from Matt Taylor's 'Straight as a die' album

[cyberfish102]

Yeah I remember too! Thanks!

[TheDoobo]

id love to jam with mat up front

[criticalmass181]

Oh my God..... 3XY in the background. I'm getting old.

[littleloverboy]

this was before my era but for some reason i really like this song!

[penfloyd]

Great memories........Chain,,,Blackf­eather.

Towards the Blues,and At the Mountains of Madness were brilliant albums..way ahead of there time!

What ever happened to my Monaro???

[lynettekomidar]

on yer Phil

[manikato]

I've seen many a great concert and quite a few of them at the Bowl but this was one the best concerts I've ever been to. Free admission over two days and bands like Chain and Madder Lake killed them. The album is still on high rotation in my collection and when Taylor and the boys do this it pumps out of the house and shows all the little rap fuckers next door what real music is all about.

[gazzzza]

@manikato yes but it was neverChain ,, this was always a Matt Taylor song off the straight as a die album

[Dibby59]

I grew up on this band from a very young age, I still have the original tape 'The Very Best Of Chain" sitting next to me as I type, then I had the privilege of meeting Barry Sullivan through one of my closest friends, his son Shannon, miss ya mate, say g'day to your mum for me.

Luv ya

Budgie

[shansull1]

heya mate....what a buzz....still playing , my ph no. is 0404635133...call me mate

shannon

[bootzen33]

Shannon...My great mate. I used to be your live-in babysitter with you and your Mum in Moorabin. You were only 5 and I took you to see ACDC. Wow! I still live in California. Write back, Heather

[shansull1]

its good to see my dad grooving (barry sullivan) and what a rhythm section.....two weeks rehearsal after 10 yrs apart,,,kickin ass...aussie blues

[jamesglendenning]

Shan, you Dad "Big Goose" was a Legend, one of Australia's Great bass players.

RIP Barry Sullivan

[SensualBlues]

I second jameslendenning's comment - so sorry that your dad passed away so young.

He was really amazing!

[MiMaKBaSS]

No disrepect, but I'm thinkin' Matt did the definative live version with Western Flyer.

[geckoexpress]

Can that version be found on youtube?

[chrismwpcs]

Matt rocks. I also loved the back up band he had at the Mosman Park Hotel in Perth The Sneakers. Ah 1985 owned...

[ld68]

Hahaha, Shenton Park Hotel for me man. Farken awesome.

[chrismwpcs]

I think the old Shents has been demolished? It was in Glyde Steet.

[ld68]

You probably right. Been years since I'v been there. Saw Buddy Guy there for the first time as well.

[rockshred5150]

Buddy Guy was at shenton??

[ld68]

Yep, seen Buddy Guy live 3 times in Perth, first time was the Shents. End of the show the whole floor was covered in beer cans as it was too crowded to get to a bin.

[SensualBlues]

The Mushroom Evolution Concert at The Sidney Myer Music Bowl - 1982. There were about ten songs filmed; this being one of them.

Vocals - Matt Taylor

Lead guitar - Phil Manning

Bass - Barry 'Big Goose' Sullivan

Drums - Barry 'Lil Goose' Harvey

Big Goose has since passed away and Dirk DuBois has played bass for them mostly since the late 80's.

[dazzatronic]

I was at that concert. I would love to see more. Do you know if any other footage is on the net?

[SensualBlues]

There's barely any good quality, professional footage available on the guys. Get in touch with their drummer Barry (barry AT barryharvey DOT com). He may be able to help out.

Cheers,

Linda & Matt
