- After appearing on the Midday Show solo, Thorpie came back with The Aztecs & he must of blown their heads off. The applause is small as they must have been in shock. I liked the bow at the end. Great stuff. Not a great VHS copy but I like it.
Brilliant. He’s so underrated, generally.
One of the best ever to come out of Australia go billy
Used to watch Billy & the Aztecs at the Whitehorse Inn Nunawading whenever they played there, usually Friday nights. A large part of my fond musical memories from that era!
Billy was my hero between '69 and '74, before I left Oz for distant shores.He was a true Legend in Australian Rock and this clip honors this man so well for the talented individual he was as a singer and guitarist. I was fortunate to see him and the band in so many venues, from pubs to Sunbury and he never disappointed.His music and spirit will never die.
the sky was crying ,and mother earth too,when we got the bad feeling that thorpie had died
Greatest of the greats,in the history of Australian blues !!!
***** Hi Rune He had so much blues passion.Previously,he had been one of our most successful pop artists ! He 'changed' to blues,early 70's,after 10 years at the 'top of (Australian) 'pops'.R.I.P.Billy Thorpe. Regards, Greg.
He was Austrailian??? Damn he was so good.. ❤
Saw Billy and the band many times in various venues in Sydney during the early 1970s. Always amazing performances. He is actually performing better on this video than back then .
@stinkydogfilms you could not possibly be an Aussie. Billy rocked us for nearly 50 years. A true legend who will never die, we wont let him.
A pretty good version of an old Elmore James blues, if my memory serves me correctly. I heard a story years ago that Thorpie was turned onto blues music by two Perth musos who he had hired to replace members of the original Aztecs, They had previously been in Ray Hoff and the Offbeats here in Perth and had played a lot of blues and R&B. It's stranqe to think back to those times and remember that Perth, in the 60's, had an almost secret little enclave of blues musicians and fans.
I love Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mike Bloomfield..AND BILLY THORPE....''GREAT'' rock voice ''AWESOME'' GUITAR TONE'...!!!!!
Thorpie, unbelievable voice in harmony with the 12 stringer, one of our greatest
deserves more recognition, he may have been born in UK.but aussie thru and thru, love ya mate.
This is GOLD
Billy Thorpe Doing a Song that Blows the Crowd away .. Look at his face when they finish ..He's Blown Away Himself .. the Aussie Legend in action !!!
Legend Billy Thorpe..love this song!
WTF! Billy is AMAZING. How come this good stuff wasn't mainstream or was I lost. The only song I heard was Children O T Sun. Sorry I missedyou when you were around. You kicked ass B
illy!
Thorpie made some marvellous music..
I remember seeing Thorpie and the Aztecs at South Side Six and it took a week for my hearing to come back completely but fuck it was good!
So freakin' good!
Its time there was a permanent memorial to Billy........Underestimated Blues guitarist,
I agree. A statue .
There is a plaque at the site of the Sunbury festival which is not far from where I live. I’ve got my photo taken with it and it’s my computer screen background. He was the best of the best.
Love that
Billy kicking butt! Love it:)
If you haven't heard Billy thorpe and the Aztecs version of Somewhere over the rainbow do yourself a favour and listen to it, you'll love it
There's none like Billy!!!
how good was billy thorpe!!! glad I saw him a couple of times
I saw him and the original Aztecs in 94 and I was screaming so loud under him that he waved and said hello to me!!!! Won't ever forget that night in Newcastle!!! I was almost 18 😄😄😁
Thanks for uploading this!
When I was 14 I had the great privilege of jamming this song with these men at soundcheck, playing that very guitar of Billy's. Was the first day I met them all, and the beginning of a very memorable friendship with ol' Thorpie.
"I've got heavy gauge strings on that guitar and this little prick's playing them like they're rubber bands" - Thorpie
🤣 Legend ! ✌
how fkn good is that clip Billy doin' SRV......glad to have seen both live
This and SRV's version are favourites .
Billy was the best!🤙🇦🇺🎼🎸

I hope there are loads of tapes in the fault and we can get this and other gems on CD/ DVD
Don't you mean vault?
FUCK...I didn't even now Billy played lead.....whoa.....great stuff......
?????
Have you been living under a rock for the past 40 years!
Midday Show probably not the best venue for a talent like Billy and the boys. What has 100 feet, blue hair and 4 teeth? The audience at a Midday Show!
