John Swan - Temporary Heartache

[racinxxx]

Awesome song mate, u smoke barnsey when it comes to music. Wish I could buy a cd album but I can't find one anywhere..

[gafieldhouse1]

God how I'm still in love with this classic!! Swanee you rock!!

[oztopgun]

ahh the memories, what a blast :)

[ozzienik1]

such a great song! love going back through the older songs :)

[Aaarrrggghh01]

Great song but lame video. Four or five years later and the MTV generation ended this sort of low-budget handy-cam stuff. Swanee you are a legend mate, but your management sucked because you should be up on that same pedestal as your little brother, instead of being rememberd as "Jimmy Barnes' brother"

[VALNUT1]

swanee hardman of oz rock and top talent . one of the best showman and voices in the bizz...

[funkydudey]

Hey John, I'm stoked to find your videos here. You were the first rock act I ever saw, supporting the Angels at the Horden In 1982, I was 15. You were awesome. Your version of If I Were a Carpenter has always been one of my favourite songs. Thanks again, keep up the good work. Cheers!!

[nickcushen]

Working up a bit of a puff there John!? Lucky you got your addidas on. You rock mate. I snuck into a pub in Bris when I was 15 to see you....in like...1992. You kicked the drummer off teh stage in jest, and you blew the crowd away!!

Definitely Pitt St, Sydney. The ramp he walks past is the Hilton Hotel.

[1972jezz]

Maybe Pitt St Sydney behind the Hilton.

[longlivebillhicks]

um, did Stock, Aitken and Waterman ever pay Swanee royalties? because this is almost identical to Happenin' all over again which was released about ten year later by Lonnie Gordon. Surely I'm not the first person to notice this.

[mofosixx]

is that george st?

[1972jezz]

Hi John,

[meeeee1968]

[myfeeling4you]

they're not the Hilton car park ramps but the Sheraton Wentworth ramps in Castlereagh St and still there today. The majority of this clip was filmed in Park St coming from Elizabeth St towards the Pitt St Mall of today but was Pitt St then between King and Park St. Oh the memories come flooding back.

[vinscay]

Definetly Sydney, the old Hilton Hotel parking ramps visible.

[Tarrant1976]

I vividly remember when this song came out in '82 (I was 5) but have never seen the FilmClip until now. Dare I ask which City it was shot in? Sydney? Melbourne? :S
