But athough they never backed any other Artists. But By the time this great Hollies' like single got released. Athough it only made no 8, Yet The Glitter Band had lost all their glam rock image, And they started to sound like a beat group of the 70's instead.
The Glitter band were a band in their own right as they were only visual in t.v. performances with Gary and musically in concert.. They didn't even appear on Gary's recordings. Therefor they could do their own recordings without him.
@tasteygeezer Gary liked to say his records were just him & Mike Leander, but John Rossall had a heavy involvement from the start musically, and cos he jumped ship at the end of 74 it was easy enough to write him out of the picture.
Why did the Glitter Band record singles on their own? What was Gary doing while they were performing on their own? And I'm not being funny, just wondered why they ran 2 separate careers back then.
Gary and the Glitter band began to record their own singles after 1974, as both had huge followings in their own rights, the glitterband had enough fans to branch out on their own. Also gary retired in 76' and the glitter band continued recording.
@heatsloan I cut my teeth on The Glitter Band way back when. I wish I could get a digital version of the album they put out call 'Listen To The Band', that was my favorite. How about Mud, Sparks, The Roubettes and Sweet...?
Boy oh boy I remember cutting my teeth on the Glitter Band as a kid way back when; It seems such a long time ago. I wish I could find the full album of "Listen To The Band" album they put out on todays technology. If anybody knows... I would be appreciative....thank you....
If you want to see how its done go to my space/glitterband and see 2009 Glitterband gig.Also on facebook glitter band 2009.Two drummers again clasic what more could you want.
it was a popular trend in the 70s to have multiple druimmers, it was called tribal drumming, another example was Adam Ants band which also frqeuently used two tribal drummers. A heavy base beat for very important to glam rock
Im surprised to see John Russell in this performance. I thought he had already left the band at this stage. Certainly he had when they released their second album "Rock and Roll Dudes" from which the song was taken .Still my favourite band growing up in the 70's and ,as their music testifies, far more than a backing band.
Wrong, the youth culture of that time was glam Rock, and Glam and Glitter went togther like Rock N Roll. look at the SWEET, all perms and glitter but they were hard has nails.
Hi thanks 4 that brought back a lot of memories of when I saw them when they used 2 cum 2 Scotland. It is sad that Gerry is no longer with us, I remember the film 2 just wish I could find out where I can get a copy xxxxxxxxx
Awesome video. I used love that they had 2 drummers. There was talk last year of the band suing GG's estate because since all the shit came out about the pervert the catalogue sales have fell thru the floor for the band.
at this time i was a fluid in my daddys balls...!!!! great song!!!!
