I grew up listening to "The Glitter Band" & bought both 1974 Album & all singles Gotta credit Mike Leander (producer & original Elec' guitar) for THAT sound. Subconsciously, it was HIM & Gerry Shepard that made me take up elec'-guitars That led to Bad Company/Mott The Hoople, then Led Zeppelin & Foreigner etc Set ME on a lifelong course of Rock music adoration & participation Always blamed Jimmy Page as my teenage inspiration & love of awkward chords but I also know NOW that it really was Mike Leander & Gerry Shepard that got me started, then leading to leaning Steve Hackett & "Firth of Fifth"s guitar solo Lastly, I bought "Just For You" (loved it), the very first week it got released. I was gutted it only reached No.10 in the U.K singles chart & I still have that 45'
Great stuff ! From 1997,Garys Farewell Tour.God ! Waited 20 years to see more footage from these gigs.The only one available for years being "For Always And Ever".
Herra jestas .tästä tuli heti teini vuodet mieneen, kun löysin tämän bändin c-kasetin.. hienoa, että ovat vieläkin keikkailleet..ja löysin tämän videon tubelta. ihanaa pojat:-))
