They were good in the 70's and getting back together in the 80's was awesome. I enjoyed watching and listening during the interviews. They seemed to be happy getting back together. I always enjoyed watching them perform and listening to their music. Good Job Guys.👍
I just ABSOLUTELY LOVE the interview with ALL 5 members there and listening to their Scottish Accents!!... As it is my most FAVE part of the whole vid itself!!...
This is really interesting, for so many reasons. The guys were obviously motivated to do this reunion, but struggling with tensions among themselves. Even in rehearsal they sound incredible. What a shame things panned out the way they did.

@@ericaleslie257 The reason why I didn't mention Ian (this time) is because he is not in this video. As a BCR fan for nearly 50 years, I'm well aware of poor Ian's passing. All we have now are our memories. May they all Rest In Peace.

I haven't read it in about 2 years,so this is from my memory,but I think Les McKeown says in his book,Shang-A-Lang,that the Bay City Rollers reunited and did concerts in Japan in 1982 and 1983 mainly for the money. I love watching these 1980's clips of the BCR'S in Japan anyway! :-)
Eric and Woody MAKE this group. The musical healers (and the writing talent as well). Les seems a real A** in private back then... but always turns on the nice for an interview.
At first i thought they were n a recording studio. Les seemed so laid back to be recording a song. Then i realized it was a rehearsal, cause they looked older, had shorter hair, n that song woulda been done long ago. Les looked really nice here. Hes not my fave, but had to complement the man. When ur good ur good. Wish I'd seen tbat concert!
I'm wondering that too. A stage brawl went on in a Japan concert in 1978. Woody kicked Les off the stage because as I "heard" , Les was in HIS spot light. I think Les's light went out..& so Woody knocked him off the stage. I saw that video a few times because I just couldn't believe it. I thought my eyes were deceiving me, so I went back to scrutinize that video & sure enough, Woody did indeed knock him off, it happened so fast though that you had to actually look for it. Then, you see someone throwing Les back onto the stage. I think Woody was a wee bit teensy teensy MAD.

Love the bit with Derek and Woody at the beginning. Cool to see the rehearsal.

You can see the tension between some of the group. Rest In Peace Alan & Leslie.

So right. Les’s response at the start is OBVIOUSLY the opposite of the reality.
I'm amazed at the amount of footage on BCR!!!
I haven't read it in about 2 years,so this is from my memory,but I think Les McKeown says in his book,Shang-A-Lang,that the Bay City Rollers reunited and did concerts in Japan in 1982 and 1983 mainly for the money. I love watching these 1980's clips of the BCR'S in Japan anyway! :-)
I enjoyed video, rehearsal and their humorous comments at the end!
Thabx from Ashland Oregon USA
I always loved the contrast of 70’s band getting all 80’s as they have here....
I 💘 the fact that original band members reunited in the 1980s.FARHANA
Eric and Woody MAKE this group. The musical healers (and the writing talent as well). Les seems a real A** in private back then... but always turns on the nice for an interview.
Agreed...something about Les makes me like him the least.
You are absolutely right.
And McKeown hasn‘t changed, believe me.
He‘s not a kind guy.
Ask Eric or Woody
I hate to admit this, but I would like to see footage of this big brawl
(In my best Scottish brogue) "You're a bit of a smart ass, aren't you????
So would I!
@@susantegner3741 Me too! 😜
I heard that Woody kicked Leslie in the bum, and then back stage he sloshed him in the jaw,in Japan in 78?
Me too. Haven't had any luck at all 🤩
Fab footage! Their
Wow they look different.
Interview is so inp wnlightening as Woody put it! 'o)
At first i thought they were n a recording studio. Les seemed so laid back to be recording a song. Then i realized it was a rehearsal, cause they looked older, had shorter hair, n that song woulda been done long ago. Les looked really nice here. Hes not my fave, but had to complement the man. When ur good ur good. Wish I'd seen tbat concert!
Hi handsome Eric!
How can they age and look 20 years older in such a short time?
20 years older? Are you kidding? I think they all look terrific!
I don’t know why I feel sad..
Derek any say the truth.This should go on by having no ego either Selfishness.
Funny to see those girls.They all aged but were still there.
They looked ill at ease talking about rehearsals. Is this the tour that resulted in a big brawl onstage?
I'm wondering that too. A stage brawl went on in a Japan concert in 1978. Woody kicked Les off the stage because as I "heard" , Les was in HIS spot light. I think Les's light went out..& so Woody knocked him off the stage. I saw that video a few times because I just couldn't believe it.

@@betsyross3963 Yes, Les was very unprofessional on many occasions. Probably his alcoholism 👎
anna Last
And Woody was right.
What happened during their latest reunion?
Once again Woody deliberated about throwing Leslie from the stage.
@@leeb2166 Woody kicked Les off the stage and Les is the one who is unprofessional?

- HELLO DESDE PERU YO VICTOR MARTINEZ DE SAN JUAN DE MIRAFLORES- TE AMO ANNIE
WHO is Annie??!!...
Hmmmm??!!...
The druggy phase. Still great.
That would explain it then.
Right at the very end of the video as the BCRs were going up the stairs to go onto the stage...
The background music that was playing...
Was that LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY??!!...
It sure sounded as if it was...
But...
Please correct me if I am wrong!!...
Woody had more chins than a Hong Kong phone book
I didn't think Eric Faulkner would reach the end of his sentence. They looked hammered.
Looks like they only got together for the money. You can tell none of them wanted to be there.
I would have liked to see WHO KICKED Les's ASS!
If it was Eric, thank goodness. No offense, but Les needs to come back to reality once in a while.
Woody
Yes, I'm pretty sure I read it was Woody. Les says that "Woody put his boot in my ass" and kicked him into the audience.
@@karebear9128 Oh my!
