Thanks so much for posting this! Would love to hear "Modern Girl" too if you have it.

"Modern Girl"video was lost to (jaws) tape machine. Did save audio before that happened. Do have "Thunder Island" video.

Holy shit - I remember actually seeing this on tv. He performed 3 other songs, 2 of them were from the Terms And Conditions album (I forget the 4th song - I don't think it was Thunder Island). Anyway, can you please post the other songs? I used to be a VERY big fan of his. And - is that Joe Walsh on drums? It sure looks like him. Or maybe it's Curly Smith....

[jacwar55]

He did perform Thunder Island, the other 2 from Terms & Conditions were This Is Your Life and Modern Girl.

Great tune and talent , not like rap shit and other assorted pre fab junk of the last 20 years

Any one who thinks todays music is better than this can go squeeze the sails and lick the decks. Great stuff here and great memories.

Jay kind of looks like a mix between the oldest Hudson brother and John Holmes.

God, I love overwelming evidence that this video was recreated and taken right to Spinal Tap. Jay Ferguson was in a band called Spirit, which sound is recreated for listen to the flower people, theres a guy in this video that looks like Nigel, AND hes chewing gum.

Can you give me an example of a classic rap tune , I want to hear vocal ability and musicianship ?

[zapwatt]

@terry9966 Ugh. . . Well you can hide away honey, in your rock and roll dreams,

You can stand by your blue suede shoes-

But the party is over,

And I'm getting tired of waiting for you. Remember, the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems. Most of the first 20 years of rap was a lot better than this cheese.

Did anyone besides me notice that the bass player looks like the dude from Spinal Tap?

only song in popular music with lyrics about getting shanghai'd and put to work as a deckhand on the high seas?

Wow! What a kick ass band and recording for the time!
