awesome

[wilsonesque]

Eek!! No way.

[typicalaussiebloke]

This is a brilliant performance, awesome song to listen to! Interesting how Billy was very cleancut wearing tailored suits in the 60s and then went totally wild in the early 70s with his long hair and blue jeans and heavy blues rock sound with influence from guitar legend Lobby Loyde.

[hubermax]

Hmmm.... Nice threads - more Ian than Billy.

[fumbles150660]

to think 4 years latter hes at sunbury

[eirrac54]

Lol... amazing the difference, I saw him at Sunbury 72 and 73... totally cool, funny thing though, this was 'totally cool' too, on aussie TV at the time, even Brian Henderson was cool, on 'Bandtand' :) (the 'Countdown' of the sixties)... aahhh memories, you young people today... hehe, WE invented 'cool'....

Shit, I sound like my grandpa ;)~~

[sunra67]

amazing performance, almost as great as ray brown and the whispers

[turnaboutintruder]

I'm sure Billy himself would be turning in his grave while seeing this clip. Can anyone name the band members here ?

[monaro69GTS]

drummer is Ian Robertson I think?

[adygillavery]

I really think the drummer is Doug Lavery.

[monaro69GTS]

Thanks for the interest this drummer is Ian Robinson I went to high school with him also Russell Hitchcock AIR SUPPLY was at the same school maybe the same grade as Ian

[fossie32]

@adygillavery Some inside knowledge there? :)

[zofor]

Billy Thorpe - thinking of you forever.

[pizt]

I love him

but his dancing skills are scaring me :)

[warialdasue]

yeah, but we used to nearly go beserk when he danced like that at Surf City :)

R.I.P. Billy. miss you ♥

[Robbieoz]

He was far superior to them, give us a break

[maxwellyone]

miss you billy...already

[freespirit1975]

God Bless his soul... He was very talented. He used to go to school with my mum,he will be so missed.

[BabyPuppyPet]

he was such a good singer

[KWAKA12R]

Another great Australian icon taken suddenly. First it was Steve Irwin, then Peter Brock and now Billy Thorpe. Please make this stop.

[BabyPuppyPet]

Yeah I agree :( Steve Irwin, Peter Brock and Billy Thorpe rest in peace:(

[ICUUSEEME]

He died the same day as my father, I'll miss them both.

[guppypartz]

He shoulda dressed more casually, he makes the band look like chumps. I'm guess this wasn't RJSS's greatest moment ...

[10472112LEE]

That is so sad for you,,I was sad to see that comment.

Billy was refreshing!
