Magic! actually I always associate John Miles with "Music" then to hear this sound, reminds me of a great favorite singer of mine..Steve Marriot !

[discoinc]

how he does the sound effect that sounds like electric guitar?

[lezzliea]

Are you talking about the 'talkbox'

See also Joe Walsh,who is a master of the same effect on 'Rocky Mountain Way'

[ThamMalaysia]

They were mostly songs from Zaragon - his

best album, never equaled. (I don't know

why people liked "Music", which I found very

mundane and not hit material at all.)

His best, in my opinion :

Overture

I Have Never Been In Love Before

No Hard Feelings

Borderline

[ThamMalaysia]

I'd really like to see someone post videos of

his live performances, circa 1979 or 1980, in

the UK , I believe.

I heard it over here in Malaysia at that time

on FM. They had a station called "Club 95Mhz"

during those two or three years, in which they

played superb live performaces of all the great

artists - Journey, Wishbone Ash, Budgie, Supertramp.

That was when I first heard of John Miles.

Fantastico!

[fab208athome]

First gig I went to was John Miles in 1976 - incredible. Pull The Damn Thing Down blew my head off. Saw him another three times over the years and he never disapointed, actually got to meet him backstage in 1978, a true gentlemen.

Rock on John

[BlackmoonUK]

@fab208athome - I got to see him sometime around 1985 I would guess. I also did the backstage thing, and still have his autograph on the ticket stub (no programme). Like you said, true gent, and a great show. I remember Highfly being fantastic!

[lefkiluckytiger]

Unique voice. See him do brilliant live concerts on youtube. Music, La Sagrada Famillia, and other Alan Parsons Project compositions such as, STEREOTOME, THE REAL WORLD, the man is great. If anyone knows if he is to do any gigs in or around the London area please respond I would love to see the man live. What a showman.

[MazterGuitarz]

Just great

Never saw him but listened to him all the late 70:s

still have his vinyls records, and CASSETTE TAPES, this is gold to watch,

Thanx!

[yokeithian]

I have all his albums on vinyl. His first album is the first album I ever bought. Saw him twice at the "Coatham Bowl" Redcar and once in Bournemouth. Excellent! Am searching youtube for even more ... rock on John!

[shufflevans]

Got his first 3 albums on vinyl, I think the world is ready for a John Miles revival and it starts here!

[kirkwallboy]

recall when he first had a few hits in late 1975, early 1976 he was in the music press photos as a clean cut short haired James Dean-a-like. When this was a hit in mid 1977 he had transformed into a Viv Stanshall-a-like, from the Canyons of your mind 1968 era, as seen here. I think this was maybe originally the b side to Manhattan Skyline, which flopped. I got Slow Down in 1977, and Manhattan was on the b side. Oops there goes my punk rock credibility! Arf!

First gig i ever went to was John Miles at Bradford St Georges Hall in 1978 i think on the Zaragon tour. No-one has ever come close to that band. So tight.

[fanofprotopic]

Ironic that a song this fast is called "Slow Down", but this was a big hit in discos. He later recorded with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.

[malcolmp1953]

i remember him doing this at south shields legion, great, its a shame he got famous. seriously, the best live band i ever saw.

[Kegwithlegs]

John doing his Peter Frampton sound! Not many people know that John has other tunes apart from "Music", which is overplayed on the radio.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
