Homburg

Apology up First. Sorry, couldn't be stuffed editing the beginning of the tape to trash the end of "The Weight". Might re-do one day!

Chris Copping (Ex-Procol Harum) on Keyboards playing at Elwood RSL (Melb. Victoria, Aust) with the Retro Bandits August 2006. My Daughter's 18th Birthday. As arranged, first drink out in a pub/club with her old man. Huge PH fans.
This was one of Chris's last gigs in Melbourne befor heading for Magnetic Island.

Thanks to those who liked this - nice to know we're all in good company!

[HURLEYP]

A veritable goldmine!

You'll never cease to be amazed at what you'll find, although a little depleted now...(see below in my comments). Early Billy J Kramer, Freddy & the Dreamers, Stones, Who, a lot of Procol Harum - real historical/archival stuff. Also a lot of "unofficial" clips of those bands among others.

Since Google is now the major shareholder, if not owner of YT, they've cut a lot of stuff out of it for copyright infringement.

I've got something like 500 vids from there

is that realy ronnie charles ..was he in the band the group..im getting so old..

[HURLEYP]

Yep.... given that their full name is Ronnie Charles and the retro bandits.

And yes...which I think from memory was spelt "Groop". Also did some backing vocals in V. late sixties for 1 hit wonder band, Pastoral Symphony. The song was Love Machine!

Thanks, I recognised Chris Copping on other old PH-tubes. But what is "Magnetic Island"? Do you mean he died? (I'm no native speaker of english).

[HURLEYP]

Phwaaaaaahhhhh!!! That's seriously funny. Not sure I make the quantum leap required to match death & Magnetic Island. No, Magnetic Island is an island & tourist resort off the Queensland coast (Australia).

BTW, if you're not a native speaker of English, you do pretty well!!!!

[jtkeenstyle]

Wow. Nicely done.

[rurbert]

Nice hearing the organ at the end...just like old days. What a great song. Thanks !

thanks from Jimmy McNichols in Trinidad.

Long time no hear - was trying to remember on my keyboard - but their fingers !!!

[Irmarambaran]

My friend Jim, remembers trying to play this in the 1960s.

He was a bass man with Skylighters in the Penthouse, Independence Square Port of Spain Trinidad.

Any one know Jim?
