Sherbet - Slip Stream (1974)

[lindsaylock1]

my missus used to have the biggest crush on Garth Porter. The 1st Lp she ever got was 'Sherbet's greatest hits

[lilynick1]

Great song by a great band! Hey what about the fog maker hiding under the bridge? At least his hand was on the telly .........

[TheSakana123]

I was in love with Daryl Braithwaite in 1974 and still am..loved Sherbet then..andlove Daryl now....legends...Daryls solo stuff later is wonderful .check it out

[SlimeTron5000]

r.i.p. harvey

[augustus816]

Go Sherbs, hairy chest and all.

[Aqene1000]

Satin Flares !

[scoodaisy]

i believe garth porter has written many a song with and for our own lee kernaghan too over the years

[fjbutch]

Ah the memories

[OneHectare]

Mellotron AND synths! Ultra cool change into the last Chorus.

[braemage]

at the time they were the hottest band and this was the record to have , we weren't lookin at hair just the face and how hot they looked in their satin gear .. not like now !!!

[HornyTracy]

dressed to impress !!!!!

[erosromantic]

An amazing amazing band in their day - terrific in concert too

[glebe3047]

What sort of mentally ill person are you. So what if Garth showed his chest FFS. To this day I still think Daryl and farnham have by far the most amazing voices in Australian rock. I am 46,, I do wonder where all the years have gone since 1974. Makes me feel a little sad at times.

[legwithanattitude]

Katanning 1975

[joeman552]

Thanks for the memories.  I live in the US now, but I lived in Aus. during the wonderful Sherbet years. Aussie music is the best. Thanks!

[riddyzarzoff]

How good is that!!!!

I loved the Paul Hogan show, lol.

[rodhmu]

check out the young paul hogan. those were the days when paul hogan was king, and glam rock still ruled. within a couple of years punk would come and change popular music forever.

[Djtalent93]

Love this song, and I wish Daryl will sing live this song again

[64g15csr]

i remember watchin this on hoges

[juleigh1959]

this was live as daryl stuffed the intro and the words in the first verse

[sunshinemini]

juleigh, you are spot on. Either you have the song or a great memory.

[nwjh1957]

Listening to the song, you've got it! And the best part is that Daryl just continued on regardless, and the rest of the band simply performed. They were clearly a well-polished and professional act that could deal with small things, like fluffing the lines on national TV!

[fireplace911]

sounds like just Darryl singing over the backing track...or perhaps it is the complete record with a vocal remover ..

but the band playing live I don't think so.......actually i don't see any guitar ;eads...and the backing vocals are pretty studio processed..

[hunkydaboyz]

don't think he stuffed it, was planned i'd say , from memory the intro was a bit different , maybe they couldn't

produce it live

[Mentorcase]

Yea sherbet were good but this is lipsynced to the same version that was on the radio

SHEESH

[tis1me]

So great just to hear Daryl sing live on a TV show. So many bands and people lip sinc nowadays.....no guts!

[6925thcobras]

This song is okay but if you really want to hear a "slipstream" song, listen to Van Morrisons "Queen of the Slipstream."

[nurtsurt]

And bigtombfc mums coming to tuck you in snookems because its past your bedtime u little freak.

[nurtsurt]

What tha?Who bloody well cares if u dont like hairy dudes rabbit?Great clip nzoz thank you.

[bluebunny1000]

i dont like hairy chest man

[nzoz1974]

get a razor and a shave him

[nwjh1957]

A time machine might help, too! Poor old Garth Porter, he did so much songwriting for the band, and now someone complaints because he showed his chest off 34 years ago!

Great clip nzoz! Many thanks!

[Bloodaxe1300]

@bluebunny1000 You must like little boys then.

[vanjane]

@bluebunny1000 I just watched a doco on why humans are the only primates not to be covered with fur/hair. It would appear that the female of the species prefers less hairy men. That meant that the less hairy of the species were chosen to procreate thus over many thousands of years, humans became almost hairless. It would appear though that now young woman want men without ANY body hair. Although another study showed that woman preferred hairier, more manly men in times of war and hardship.

[mignonhenne]

was the keyboard player a fan of yes / genesis especially tony banks?

[vanjane]

It's great to see them playing live. Back then I think most of them were used to playing live pub gigs so it wasn't such a stretch to play live on tv.

[blackster]

Cool... great track, and Paul Hogan, how cool is that.

He has a son called Paul Hogan too, who sings in a Deep Purple tribute band down under called Fireball.

[Myf3]

Thanks for the memories! Sherbet were a great band who's place in Aus music history is under-rated.

[dachschmuck]

My name is ELMAR, GERMANY. I was in AUSTRALIA from 1971 till 1975 and I remember all these Australian groups very well,DADDY COOL, BILLY THORPE, JOHNNY O`KEEFE, great memories, PADDINGTON TOWN HALL KINGS CROSS and all the other places. Keep on rocking. All the best from GERMANY

[nwjh1957]

This was an example of Sherbet doing the rock-pop mix, and enjoying themselves doing it. They had started a lot more rock-oriented. When they tried to please record companies and managers, and got too 'poppy,' they went downhill and fell apart.

[civilwheels]

Good to see they played it live,,Pete

[presepete]

Good evening viewers (Paul Hogan)!Aaargh the days before colour tv and countdown in 1975. Thanks for the memories.

[bigtombfc]

gay!

[MRMILO57]

bigtombfc ...maybe you should grow up!

[sortashaman]

Fun to come across this time capsule from Australia! When my family stepped off the P & O Arcadia in October 1974, in Piermont, Sydney, "Silvery Moon" is the first song I recall hearing on radio there.

[toggenburggoatman]

My sister was a big Sherbet fan but I was into Skyhooks and AC/DC. She went to Festival Hall (Melbourne) to see Sherbet, with AC/DC as the support band. When she got home I asked her how good were AC/DC, she said soon no-one will even remember them. That was about 1975, shows you she didn't know much about music. She also liked the Bay City Rollers.

[sherbetgirl]

I think Sherbet, Skyhooks and AC/DC are all amazing OZ acts. As for Bay City Rollers, well........

[jpguinness]

But the Bay City Rollers were Scots though.

[sherbetgirl]

Very true, and I had the pleasure of meeting Les a couple of weeks ago, and even though I wasn't a fan of BCR in the day, he was an absolute gent.

[TradaBoy]

funny...as a 10 year old in canada at this timeI have no idea who Sherbet is/were ... but I do remember the bay city rollers (extremely well) ... it was a bay city roller youtube link on Countdown that listed this band as well ... so don't bite the hand that feeds in 2007

[loggerer]

It was a damn sight easier back then too. Oz was a great place back then, still is but somehow not the same.

[wendyaus]

ooooh yeahhhhhhh

[simbiotic]

lol soooooo true.

[steigerpower]

About this time Australian way of life so carefree,.a generation brillants.

[nwjh1957]

Ah yes, but the real world was waiting for us, with open jaws! Around this time, we were all looking outside our own shores in new ways, and this was bound to lead to problems. But it's still a great place to live.
