Wow, great info. Did anybody tape any of their recordings from the NM Seminar? Would be great to see this performed with the original line up.

[SuperPais]

Wow, that is a great perfomance of a great song,

OOPS....Did it twice. Something went wong there. Anyway I did not recognise the band initially because Dee wasn't with them. I was possibly the first person at this rehearsal apart from band and roadies. I think I went back tomy hall to tell my mate Derek H who is now a BBC director. Soon there were loads of people and it was like a mini gig although they kept stopping and starting. Then they asked us if we wanted a show, Silly question. They then did a proper performance for us. It was amazing.

Tried to post a comment but it disappeared! Thank you for posting. I had it on VHS and treasured it but when i moved, I think my family got rid. Amzing guitar solo. Have fond memories...like it happened yesterday of when I was a fresher at Keele University and loving the Uni life and freedom. I wandered into the Union and saw some people moving gear around the ballroom. Went back to watch them rehearse and couldn't beleive that it was Fashion who I knew with Dee Harris.

yeah thanks for posting one of my favourite Old Grey sessions of all time. Great song, and amazing guitar solo. I had it on VHS and as was usual, when I moved to London, I think that's when my family got rid...but hey I'm not sure. Could never find it again.

Later I spoke to the band and particularly Alan. I was learning the guitar and he confirmed that he loved Jeff Beck. his solo here is very Beck -esque. He had been playing for about 8 years at this time. I met the bass player too and he had been playing for about 4 years. I think that it was the bass player who told me that Dee Harris was a very very good jazz guitarist. I have played guitar for over 30 years now and I don't think i am as good as Alan - he was that good.

I would love to see the other songs from this session I remember it well - great to see this

[clazuk]

I was there :) Thanks so much for sharing this. I have it on VHS somewhere but no way of transferring it over.

amazing guitar solo! I've always loved hard rock guitar over a funk backing.

Troy Tate was good too!! ...the music was really good....good musicians....pitty they did not get the success they deserved

[michael6mac]

@khorrumg They should have stuck with Dee Harris, they had a good start with this and "Streetplayer" but it seems didn't manage to build on it, losing Harris was a bad move.

[CesMan83]

Wow, this is a pretty damn interesting version of their song...Troy Tate did a great job

[redbarchetta1]

it's sooooo good to see this again - heavier guitars than the earlier versions

[eiffe]

Holy Shit man, this stuff is so rare, I never thought I would see this again! Thanks so much for posting!
