He looks like a faggot in this video, with his flamboyant looks, but the music is great. Ironically, he called people faggots at one of his concerts in the seventies, which lead to him being fired by Dragon. That said, all of Dragon's albums are superb.

[nzoz1981]

lol, you might want to check out some other 70's Dragon videos and see just how androgynous he looks in those clips (try 'Wait Until Tomorrow', 'This Time')...

Is that the Devonshire Street tunnel under Central? Hard to believe that it used to be even more hideous than it is now.

[nzoz1981]

I had the great 'pleasure' of walking through that tunnel on my way to work. I watched it come from looking much the way it did in this video, to looking like an art exhibition/shopping mall/busker-wall. Sure, it's more lively now than it was back then, but it still makes me cringe each time I have to walk through it.... I might go the long way next time!

@nzoz1981 I used to walk through the Devonshire Street tunnel on my way to & from Uni (Institute of Technology, now UTS) in the early 1980s. One day heading home after Uni I saw them filming this clip, but I never knew which song it was until looking it up just now ... while listening to my best of Dragon tape. Unfortunately I can't see myself walking past in the film clip - but I was there!

[nzoz1981]

@ewechewed Wow, 30 years later and you've only just found out which song is was that they were making a clip for ? That's amazing! Did you think about walking close to the camera ?

I've just finished reading his Biography. Apparently these little recording "sessions" in Sydney (early 80's) putting together Marc's Solo Albums were one big Coke, Smack, and Booze free for all! A lot of hanger on's scoring free "gear" getting wasted beyond belief :S

[digitialdreams]

Good to see Sydney hasn't changed much where they were driving around - Oxford St & Kings Cross. Good song but did not have chart success in Australia.

[Managra73]

Wow, his changed since Dragon days...but still, he pulls it off! <3

[planetalk]

I still play the same Strat that I used for the slide lines on this great tune. We miss you, Marc.

[MrBlueSkyMrNight]

His best tune - it's perfect.

[MrBlueSkyMrNight]

Just found this. The music has a 1981 vibe.

But for a similar 1981 music vibe (time trip) check out here on You Tube:
