A Trip Down Memory Lane

What was your first date. Mine was when I was 10 and asked my 10 yr old neibor if she wanted to for a walk in a close by park. First time I held a girls hand and had my first kiss too that day.

Anyone else feeling a little uncomfortable heading down this path on a public forum?

The interesting thing about the Atlantics was that though they played "surf music" the members of the band had ethnic backgrounds-Greek,Croatian and Hungarian.
Other groups I loved included The Loved Ones,Taman Shud ,The Easybeats and The Masters Apprentices

Taman Shud. That's a name I haven't heard in ages.

Yer alot my era as well above, Thorpey was a little before my age of getting into music but his Most People I Know was friggin legendary tune !
Easybeats another trail blazer.
Better add in Russell Morris < though wasn't mad about him - friggin LRB I used to think a bit soft but damn the tunes and success damn impressive !
USA success I couldn't believe how well damn Air Supply had done.
Gawd Sherbet, the countdown fav, pretty good tunes.
I even got to appreciate Squeak later, JPY haha
You know who I never appreciated back in those days, Farnham.
Rock abviously was my pref so never did I care about him - untill one day at the Supercars Homebush we stayed back to listen more so Hunters & Collectors who have some great tunes.
Well low and behold Farnham came on - I did like the Voice it is a great tune but wow what a showman live, he did blow my socks off then I got it.

Saw Farnham at Adcock Park in Gosford. He did a heavier version of Long Way to the Top than AC/DC. I must admit I always thought the almost 9 minute version of the It's a Long Way There (LRB) was one of Australia's best songs (usually only hear a radio edit). Stevie Wright with the Easybeats and solo as well was great.

Saw Thorpey supporting Deep Purple. Gawd they were loud - I thought someone was not only attacking my ears but thumping my chest.

Another obscure one was a Northern Beaches band - Mushroom Planet.
 
Farnham did LWTTT heavier version than Bon and the fellas ? OMG that would have been surprising but if thats the way you felt sure must have been brilliant.
Ol Stevie, yer they were good pity he had a tuff ending.

Mentioning Deep Purple, christ I still have Machine Head LP in perfect nic, I saw on the news feeds ol Ossie performed his last attempt on stage the other day.

I don't recall seeing Mushroom Planet though maybe I did, I see they frequented Narrabeen Antler where i went heaps of times incl Mody Dicks/Whale Beach/AV RSL used to have live gigs and another regular live jaunt Bryants/Manly Vale Hotel.
