I'll Be Gone was released in 1971, so definitely not an 80s song, although many of the songs on the soundtrack were. I still remember when it came out. It was flogged on the radio in Melbourne, and rightly so.
1971. Did my HSC the year before. Bought my first car. Started Teachers College. My new life was just beginning. That harmonica intro brings all the memories back!
I recently attended a music show called RockWiz (in Australia) and Mike Rudd, now 76yo, performed this live, with a 4 piece band and his Harmonica. Still sounds fantastic, just like he did in the early 70’s. Truly iconic 🥰
@@carlosrincon1551 basically a fake documentary about this enforcer for a crime ring in Australia. The camera man follows him around filming as he does hits and collects money and he interviews him. Made by the same guy who made Mr Inbetween in FX, same actor.
I'm a spring chicken. "only" nearly 30. I'll be the Three Zero before the year ends. A dear friend made me listen to this song. He passed away recently. He was older than my own mother, but he was a true blue mate, and a mentor to me. I loved this song from the moment I heard it, but now even more it will always have a special place in my heart and my mind.
This pooped in to my head earlier today . Couldn't remember it was spectrum . I said in to my mic. Play some day I'll have money . Money isn't easy to come by . Here I am listening to spectrum . Bloody marvellous 😊❤ Sydney Australia 🦘 12/5/2024
I remember hearing this song when it first came out on the Aussie radio stations. I was 9 years old and absolutely loved it. I came out about the same time Canned Heat had the hit with On The Road Again which at the age of 9 fell in love with that song too. I associate songs with times and places and I can still remember where I was when I first heard these songs played on the radio. I was riding in my Dads 1959 Chevrolet when I heard Canned Heat. And Spectrum I heard when I was travelling with a family friend to go see Manley Play Cronulla in their new car, it was a Valiant. I have always loved the blues. Just about my entire playlist are blues songs. I love John Lee Hooker. Burnside is another artist I love. ⭐️🇦🇺😇
Hell yeah those was great days as I had similar taste though I was 16 yo and had left school and was an apprentice in 1971. This tune reminds me of those days and who could not love Boom Boom Boom Boom and R L Burnside mesmerizing drone blues licks. Seeing AC/DC at the local hall at 15yo when they just started and all the amazing talent that was about in the day. Todays music leaves me kind of flat tbh. Long live blues and rock 💯
what happened to us as a country. Fucking melbournite pussys invading our basic rights, cant do or say anything anymore without people having a big cry and a whinge.
Spectrum played at Swinburne (Hawthorn) when I was doing engineering there (in the 70s). They went through the whole of their Part 1 album. It was a fantastic night I'll never forget.
This is the music that was on the radio when I was a kid, yeah it was a little while after it was released, but damn im so happy i grew up with this music.
definetly glad trucks have limiters nowdays, cuz when this song comes on and your rolling out there on a long empty highway, it makes you wanna stamp that foot.
Crikey, I was 10 years old, when this came out. Hard to believe, all the changes in society, I have lived through. One 🐥 in Melbourne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 STRAYA SOUTHERN Cross ➕ Southern HEMISPHERE

Seen these guys in Fremantle W.A awesome’ sadly I bought this album in Queensland downloaded to my iTunes library’ now I can’t even play it in my music library’ sic of the greedy ones’ someday they’ll take all our memories as well as our money’ can’t take my integrity though 😊
Lovely song... 👍👍♥ Super duper playin' of the Harmonica... Plus singing as well (how many can do that together so easily 😉?) Lyrics, am sure - relatable to MANY...!! Pure Natural Talent... Salutes 🙏
The song was written by guitarist and vocalist Mike Rudd ,Spectrum was formed in Melbourne in 1969 by Mike Rudd, a New Zealand-born singer, songwriter and guitarist
Electricchris1 Thanks, my research was wrong? But who can forget the incredible Murtceps, "they've got dogs, that will sniff right through, every plastic bag, I forget the last line.And weren't there 2 Rudd brothers in the band?
Pauli PPariah ... Its achilly Mi Crud original. My memoires of it are live performances featuring Mark Kennedy, a very young drumming prod who played with all of the best Ozzie bands at that time. And wearing out the single while learning to play the blues harp, and properly copying Ruddies blues style of suckenblow. Regards tallaya OFs still out there. PDA. and " Hi, Sandy! "
Friday too tired, Saturday too drunk, Sunday too far away. That allusive dream, Someday, All will be Ok. Reminiscent of Bagdad Cafe..... Those tumbleweeds.....and the hay......
Didn't know this version existed had only heard the Manfred mann's earth band's version if you have not heard manfred version I think you should it's really good

50 years later and it still sounds great. Great songs always do
Yep like good humour it only gets better.
@@Alexander-Bunyip not to tall something you can walk away from.
Watching 'Boy Swallows Universe' on Netflix and this song came on..... So good to hear this blast from the past again.
1971. Did my HSC the year before. Bought my first car. Started Teachers College. My new life was just beginning. That harmonica intro brings all the memories back!
Do you remember Sharpies from then?
Some story. Melburne Teachers College.
I'm here because I love Australia, Spectrum, and the 70s, I still remember like it was yesterday
Yes!! Sensational times. Gratitude 🙏🏻
Watching Boy Swallows Universe. Heard this song and had to checkout. Very infectious.
Brilliant series and sound tracks. I found it there to.
Black hawk down has brilliant sound tracks to.
The original and by far the very best 👍🪙🪙🪙
“Boy Swallows Universe” sent me here. ❤

@@Electricchris1 She’s amazing for sure 🤩
Just watched Mike Rudd on RockWiz, got up to take the Monaro for a spin and realized I was only dreaming. Too good.
@@Electricchris1 I volunteer as tribute 😂😂😂
Brit John Mayall still rocks on too. ❤ 'My Pretty Woman' All his work is legend.
You can clearly understand every word he is singing. I first heard this when it came out and at 70 years I'm still enjoying!!
Just finished watching "The Magician", this song closes out the credits and as I'm an American, I had to look it up. Glad I did.
Brad Knapp what’s the Magician?

Made by the same guy who made Mr

Yeah whats the magicians
@@robertocappadona3009 check my second comment above, its a low-budget Australian indie film about a hitman. He makes people disappear
YEAH IT IS!
Another great Australian band that didn't make the big time overseas. It amazes me why such talent didn't hit the airwaves abroad???
Should have been a international hit
Too right
The Magician brought me here. 2020. Thanks Scott Ryan.
Last night saw "The Magician" and loved it.
This was a great song to put in an end to the movie!

One of my all time favourite songs. Luv it.❤

@@derekkelly8672 By who?
@@derekkelly8672 WTF?
add Chain, the Indelible Murtceps, some Divinyls and a bit of Russel Morris (especially The Real Thing )
@@rdodgers6828 I'm familiar with the Divinyls. I'll have to expand my library for the others though. Thanks. :)
And many of us still remember all the lyrics. Terrific song.
I always said they should have put all our school work to music, we’d remember it all lol
My brother's favourite song - he passed away in1985. I still love it and it still brings me fabulous memories!
I was born in late 1985 and love the song. Reminds me of my dad, who passed away last week. Funny how life is.
I was 11 when this came out and I loved it then and even more now
One of my favourite songs of the 70’s
I love this song, I’m listening now 2024, from my city Medellin Colombia.

First time hearing 💚
AUSSIE MUSIC AT ITS BEST. IT DOESNT GET BETTER THAN THAT. LOVE IT
❤❤❤
Kassandra Heywood I didn't realise this was an Aussie song, I feel so happy now
Its not an Aussie song - written sung and produced by a Kiwi.
Agree
@rocker4577 kiwis ARE Aussies it's only a technicality that they claim otherwise.
I was 11 when I first heard this song now I’m 60 and still listening to it with the same love for Australian rock. What happened to us musically?
The bar has been dropped on what people consider to be music.
Things changed just like they did when your generation started making music your parents didn't like.
what happened to us as a country. Fucking melbournite pussys invading our basic rights, cant do or say anything anymore without people having a big cry and a whinge.
@@andrewskinner8560 distraction has consumed us.

Mr. Inbetween Scott Ryan is my favorite show. I can’t wait to see what he does next. Deep song cheers mate
What a great song, music isn't the same nowadays.
This is the music that was on the radio when I was a kid, yeah it was a little while after it was released, but damn im so happy i grew up with this music.
Top Aussie Hippy music, as good as anything that came out of California's scene.
better
Better I think too
@@user-fs5gk8in9z 👍
this jam is str8 up dope
one of my favorite songs that inspires a beautiful childhood summer in Ballnaring Vic
My Summers were in Frankston when it was still a small town .
51 years later and it still sounds great!
Jan 1971
Still singing this one and meaning it!
Aussie rock has to be the best. The harp is excellent
Kiwi song, not Aussie
Nah mate a great MELBOURNE band, not Kiwi at all champ.
@@oztiger5663 Mike rudd is from Christchurch mate
Such a simple song but highly effective.
This is to all the fallen truckies who lived the highway to their last day 🌺💐💐💐🇦🇺
definetly glad trucks have limiters nowdays, cuz when this song comes on and your rolling out there on a long empty highway, it makes you wanna stamp that foot.
Awesome song, youth so long ago, sweet memories.✌ 👋 🇦🇺
Only ever knew the fantastic Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version, never aware in more than 40 years this was a cover!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ll_Be_Gone_(Spectrum_song)
The good old fashoined harp makes this song..........crazy, hazy days........so lay-back.........come back again......
I was wondering where the harp came in... then I realised you meant harmonica.
come back again " thats from a nother great a "Daddy Cool " song another Australian 70's band!
Fully agree!
saw them live quite a few times- great live band
Lovely to hear this again!
Real deal ❤❤☝️☝️☝️

To everybody here from Boy Swallows Universe, this is also in Mr Inbetween which you should absolutely watch.
he's gone for sure... rip
Football, meatpies, kangaroos, Holden cars & this song
You have just explained my way of life.
This song has nothing to do with Australia, so stop associating Australia with songs that don't talk about Australia. :(
Charles Fraunhofer - they are an Australian band you idiot
Yep, classic!!!
I love the way the singer causally checks his watch at 1:34
And his random foot tapping - not in time with any beat
Of course that's popped . Freakin' phone 😮
Great song, reminds me of some early Jethro Tull
Song written by John Williamson, an early Australian folk hero, still trucking as far as I know
The song was written by guitarist and vocalist Mike Rudd ,Spectrum was formed in Melbourne in 1969 by Mike Rudd, a New Zealand-born singer, songwriter and guitarist
