Coloured Balls: Human Being + Working Man's Boogie (live)

Coloured Balls (Australia) started out in 1972 as a raunchy-yet-brilliant psych/hard/blues/garage rock band. This is taken from their infamous live performance on the GTK music TV show in 1972/1973. The songs are "Human Being" and "Working Man's Boogie". Enjoy!

Go the Sharpies! An era in Australian music we will never see again. Such underated trailblazers.

Billy Thorpe and Lobby Loyde on stage. Love.

I had an album long since lost of Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs and Lobby Lloyd all in concert. The guitar work and sings were fantastic

[@chriscampbell9191]

Strauss amps? And the lead guitarist is playing what looks like a Les Paul copy with a bolt on neck. Now, that's working class music right there. I'd heard about these guys, but never had heard their music previously. Thanks for posting this. Looks like a bit of Oz rock history, right there.

[@voxac30withstrat]

I had a 60W Strauss amp and speaker. Good times.

Mesmerising, the groove reminds me of Canned Heat's boogie performance at Woodstock although this is harder.😍😍😍

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Although the upload could have better sound this is a good video. It's great videos of this talented short-lived group are here for all to see. They rocked as hard live as in the studio. And they looked better with long hair. :-)

[@eddierukidding4773]

very cool

[@skinhead5]

What year was this? I can see that this was before they became mullet head sharpies.

[@benji274]

Mid 1972

[@Datich1975]

Check out Melbourne band POWER.
Balls of the millennium.

[@voxac30withstrat]

Horrible 70s camera work. HATED absolutely HATED the extreme close ups. It was idiotic and added NOTHING to the video.
