Well, the Thunderbird video thread is ticking over nicely so I thought why not give the other classic shapes a spin...

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

As far as I'm concerned this video could never be posted too many times, this song, and Andy Fraser's playing ( whole band really) gives me goosebumps. There's a tone going on with that EB and his pile of Marshalls that I'll always envy - simple, beuatiful rock with lots of air, no mindless, soulless wanking going on here. Kossoff is almost crying during his solo, Fraser's is brilliant ( he's not 20 years old at the time!). Definately one the best, underappreciatted bands ever.

You are so right about that vid. Ironically I saw Free at some high school gym somewhere outside of Chicago shortly after 'All Right Now' hit the radio and was not at all impressed. In fact I might have said they sucked, I don't remember. I do remember they were too loud and too loose. It must have been the wrong place at the wrong time.

So a band of yank GIs stationed in Germany invented communal fretboard tapping. Who'd have thought.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

Two from The Fortunes live with Rod Allen (RIP), thumbstyle on a Rivoli.

IMHO You've Got Your Troubles sounds much better without the horns that were on the studio version.
