Doug Anthony Allstars - Heard it Through the Grapevine

[chugs1984]

5:10 is where they start singing

[FallingDownDeep]

OMG this sooooo good. I nearly started crying just listening to it even though I'm making my homework at the same time

[Aussieguy37]

O.O Wow!! I know that they have great voices, but damn. We will miss them.

D*A*A*S KAPITAL 4EVA

[hadikchik]

O.O I can't get over Pauls little braid thing! :S

And he is an amazing singer :)

[clicmolette]

amazing !!!

[Ninagirlification]

20 years on & I still love this version of the song. DAAS were great and McDermott's voice still blows me away.

[aligatorsmile1]

Paul is AWESOME!!!!!



[humdrummer]

Tim is now suffering from MS. Why couldn't it have hit John Howard instead

[trickytart101]

@humdrummer . Mind you, MS isn't a death sentence, (My Dad was a sufferer), Tim is still out there working and he's still great fun. Did you check out WTF? (With Tim Ferguson) when it was screening recently? It was great.

[buddddayboy]

@humdrummer didn't they sing this song for a lady on the show that had cancer?

[67675656565655656565]

i once watched a documentary on kids dying from cancer and quite frankily that documentary was alot funnier than this shit.

[Auscar76]

omg, DAAS Icon and DAAS the Last Concert on on iTunes!!!! Awesome!

[bersaba]

They should put out a cd with all their "straight" songs on it

[luckyjohn19]

@bersaba

Indeed they shoulda...

Damn ! That boy can sing.

~

[mollylyn19]

They are fantastic!!!

[snapped007]

Paul's the best singer

[ozlotto76]

The 1st song sounds vaguely like the Beastie boys for some reason

[spudbeau]

Loved DAAS version of 'heard it through the grapevine' and the big gig was one of Aust. best comedy show!

[Geminii27]

(Song starts at 5:12 for those wanting to skip the preamble.)

[Kassie0ate0a0cow]

i don't think I've heard something so beautiful before... *wipes tear away*

[caassiieeBRAAH]

paul is so amazing!! i love him ahaha <3333

[mjj440]

[walkingtoNewOrleans]

[Interagatesy]

[Layz92]

Damn Paul is a good singer

[dannpenn]

[rockchick80s]

flybreath - Speechless!!!! And that's a First lol

[Jesso21]

these guys were amazing. love them all.

[sexandgromit]

oh. my. god. That was as fucking newtown, uni-student, vegan, alternative lifestyle, comedy festival as I thought it was going to be! This fucking sucks huge shits! I'll shit on it's face.

[mishutit]

Hurrr hurrr, you're so edgy.

[trainerK9]

Love the 80s fashion in the audience... lol

ahhh DAAS

[kaminnyj123]

beasty boys X wiggles lol

[NerdsWithAttitude]

I wish I could sing like Paul

[crakles]

this group deserve their fame. the created an environment where politcal correctness and the need to not upset people was a crock viva the revolution

[NerdsWithAttitude]

It helps if you've got a singer like Paul though ;)

[fazehead]

Hey openminded Dumb Aussie, your a Bad Poet and you dont know it.And as for you amzygal, Chasers will be back on next year to Kick your Arse!!!

[openmindedaussie]

Dead and Alive has been available on DVD for years..I had it flogged whilst moving one year... That and my Jann Arden CD....

DAAS

[amzygal96]

faze shut the heck up! Chaser's is new they would've watched this when they were younger you twat. Get over it just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't FREAKING awesome!

[fazehead]

Doug Anthony Gay Stars!! especially that Ferguson Twat!! Chasers shit all over them.

[openmindedaussie]

The what the fuck are you doing here... Fuck off....

[blurrsgirl]

you'll all be happy to know that DAAS is considering releasing some of their material on DVD soon...

[nickiholland]

woooooooooo

[Jarrah31]

don't tease us!

[sld444]

Brilliant news to hear that!! I sang Sailors Arms to my daughter tonight after this one and then - too finish off - Khisnah on my Stagecoach.

[Anome]

Saw it in the ABC Shop the other day. Seems to just be the Big Gig stuff, which is good enough.

Kind of want DAAS Kapital on DVD as well.

[missphoenix89]

Was Tim serious at 03:20? Did this show really pull over 3 million people every week? If so, that's incredible, GNW averages about 1.5 million, which is still really good, but 3 mill is incredible.

[suspendedchaos]

wouldnt surprise me. there wasnt that great programming at that time in terms of comedy.

[Blueyedratio]

fuckin brilliant, I haven't seen this since it originally aired on ABC. Thanks for posting, it go's straight into favourites!

[Jarrah31]

The good, the bad and the guitarist - at least GNW is back on atm.

[pkillingly]

great fun...can you post the DAAS version of the auld triangle?

[linuxpenguin73]

DAAS ruled - sucked when they split up. They should reform, none of them is doing anything even vaguely interesting these days.

[downunderdown]

Have you never heard of Good News Week? Paul is hosting that and did a show called the sideshow last year. both these shows are more than "vaguely intersting", that is unless you don't have the inteligence to get all the references in the shows.

[linuxpenguin73]

yes Im dumb. That must be it.

[VeraChuckandDave]

and Tim Ferguson shows up on the brainstrust of the Einstein factor every now and then and Richie was the head of Comedy at the ABC for ages. I dunno if he's still doing that now though. He's probably doing something to that effect.

[lunarwolfmoondancer]

Never heard of these guy until I recieved a partial file from a mate on the infamous Yahell Mesenger. The file was "Doug Anthony All Stars - I Fuck dogs.mp3"... and I laughed my nuts off until the song abrubptly finished. so had to inestigate to see if I could find the whole version..

Glad I did as these guys are EXCELLENT!

they got 1 fan here in UK.

[bersaba]

@lunarwolfmoondancer

2 years later reply.... LOL

They had many fans in the UK. See if you can get a copy of Dead and Alive - DAAS. It was filmed whilst they were on tour in the UK somewhere, I think the first song was about the Brittish Tabloids (daily mirror, sports etc). Oh, and it has "I fuck dogs" and a great version of "throw your arms around me" (their straight song).

[Boldar64]

forget Paul....I know how to play guitar...Richard is AWESOME!

[XxLoveJessxX]

paul does indeed have a beautiful voice

i love him

this is gold

[thesteveus]

These guys played live in my town once, I missed the show but Paul went into the audience and passionately kissed this bloke and then said "Fuck mate, what did you put in your hair?"

[minge4vicki]

i love him

[zombie69wolf]

Does anyone know where I can get their stuff on dvd?

zombie69wolf

[1234567890tgb]

Short answer: You can't.

Long answer: DAAS Kapital (their TV show) was never even released on video. A few live concerts were put on CD and video. These come up on eBay now and then. Literally, that'll be your only chance.

Oh, it'll be PAL videos, not NTSC 'cause they're Australian.

[Valetudinarian]

God, so beautiful <3

[mandy1973]

I miss The Big Gig and DAAS so much - such a big part of my teenage years :)

[bananahippo]

very well done love it

[obscurelines]

Years and years I've been looking. I couldn't figure out their name and none of my friends remember them. I remember hearing this and it blew my mind. It's actually lovely. Whenever people talk about the best version of this song I think of this. cheers.

[rapture18]

these guys do song versions that are awsome... pauls voice is spine tingling... been wanting to hear these guys again for ages.. thanks for posting

[sarkey1]

Thanks for posting this clip. Been looking for it for years IMO one of the most moving performances of this song.

[amberangel112]

paul has a beutiful voice

[SirSmartyPants]

Excellent version of the old song. I actually saw this when it first went to air.

[teferabbitoh]

they r u so good they should get back together!!!!

[snozwangle]

years - I've been looking for this for so long. One of the best moments of the Big Gig! Bring it back.

[yotaboy98]

this is brilliant - i`ve been searching for this clip for years - gives me goosebumps to listen to it again. would have been nice to hear the comments made after it was first screened - the compare mentioned that paul had finally made his mum proud!

[wr76charlie]

omg !!! paul has such an angelic voice !!!

[shikira]

Paul McDermott is genius. Thanks so much for up loading it. He has a lovely voice too.

[muppetman]

Thanks so much for posting. I always loved DAAS! I must have only been 14 when DAAS Kapital was on.

[peetypeet]

I am a confirmed DAAS fan of nearly 20 years!

I've got some stuff, I'll see if I can transfer it online!

This is fabulous!

[hangareighteen]

What an awesome voice Paul has. I remember seeing them sing The Auld Triangle on the big gig, if someone could post that it would be sensational thanks!

DAAS Kapital!

[znotty]

say this live all those years ago.

[Phenomenem]

Paul's an excellent singer.

[QueenQeeko]

Long live the Doug Anthony Allstars!!

[doodle4name]

fab - thanks for the posting

[ankharra]

I recently got into Doug Anthony All Stars and it's really hard to find anything at all. I was hoping for something like "Carnal Carnival." Does anyone know where I can find it?

[sub3hrtri]

I've been looking for this for 10 years - thank you :-) An amazing version of a classic song.

[linkystar]

Such a scruffy, angry little man.

[suspendedchaos]

A young McDermott? Wow.

[suemawson]

thankyou, thankyou, thankyou any more DAAS stuff out there? Any videos of them singing 'The Auld Triangle'?

[KingShrewd]

I've been searching along time for some of this material. Thank you for posting this.

[GalenerGelsdoorin]

*glomp*

[ryttu3k]

...Oh, that's awesome! XD (If you have any more DAAS-ish goodness, DO feel free to share.)

[myfw]

Oh.my.god. Thank you so much for posting this.
