Arrows, My Last Night With You, 1975, TOTPs

Long thought to be lost in a mass of tape deletions by the BBC of Top Of The Pops episodes, this clip features a performance by The Arrows from the British TV show show Top Of The Pops in February 1975 doing their top 30 chart hit "My Last Night With You" produced by Mickie Most on his RAK reocrds label.
Filmed during the RAK Rocks Britain '75 tour, Arrows were the only band on the tour with a BBC chart hit record. The tour featured Suzi Quatro, Cozy Powell's Hammer and The Arrows.
Arrows band members on this clip:
Alan Merrill - lead vocals bass guitar
Jake Hooker - guitar, backing vocals
Paul Varley - drums, backing vocals.

Keyboard synth by John Cameron.

@Springamatul Yes, Paul Varley the drummer passed away in the summer of 2008 of pneumonia.

What a great little singer Alan Merrill was, and I presume, still is..and one of the best looking men of his era.

[KeithTheKing]

@londonboy59 Arrows singer Alan Merrill is still performing, mainly in the New York City area, but he also toured Japan three times last year and did one trip to Europe. He still looks in good shape on stage and there many very recent pictures (from a show last week in fact) of him on his website, which is easy to find on any search engine. .

[KeithTheKing]

@Greatstuff365 Still waiting for the first "Touch Too Much" TOTPs from 1974  to surface. Someone has it, somewhere. It's just a matter of time.

Alan at his peak, a dreamboat! He's still a pretty cool cat! I remember him singing this live in concert at the Rainbow Theatre, London on Rak Rocks Britain Tour. A fabulous song.
