Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

Pah, I posted that long ago.   Somewhwere. And Herbie did here pretty early on. Incidentally, Sweet too have to do with he-who-may-not-be-named-in-every-thread, admired by Andy Scott and guesting with them live on an US tour when they played Alright Now in tribute to a just departed Paul Kossoff. Worthy of reposting though.

Andy was/is very much into Purple & played in that style before he joined Sweet, the influence can be heard in many of their B-sides.
Almost every year he plays a gig for up to 700 of his fans who travel literally from worldwide just to attend. It's in Bilston near Wolverhampton, hometown of Slade's drummer Don & the venue used to be one of the places a fledgling Slade rehearsed at.
In 2010 Andy did a fund-raiser there & I surprised him by having 250 plastic Sweet scarves made to boost the funds, he's a tad taken aback when he comes on; they've had "The Stripper" as their stage intro music since the very early days of Sweet.


We had a good laugh about it after, when he said it brought back memories from the 70's crowds.

He's a very tasteful guitarist, not a noise merchant at all. I liked some of the sophisticated pop Sweet did at the end of the seventies career though their Give us a Wink serious hard rock experiment wasn't bad either, The Healer is one of my favorite songs of theirs. That recent New York Connection album is a grower, they did indeed turn Dead or Alive's You spin me round into a glam rock monster.

Cool, I've  never seen that video before. Is that a jazz pup?

Jazz pickup, where? Here's a pic and it could be that it has a ring for the neck pickup too?:

Dunno. With glare from the lights it could be the regular pup, though it looks awfully narrow and appears to be black like a j pup. Here's a screen snap I made. May or may not help much.

In the pic I linked it's a mudbucker:

Being an MB does ring a bell from a previous discussion some time back...

[Denis]

Pekka, that is a much better photo and you're right, it's clearly a mudbucker.

[Highlander]

Now that sound I can recreate as that's the layout I have on the PC...

[OldManC]

Apologies if this was posted already. Maybe I should look for a gig in a Mott tribute?



Song starts @ 35 seconds in.

   George I believe you have found a new calling!

I think you should release your inner Glam Child George....

Very liberating 

[Highlander]

Overend Carlson or (Doctor) George Hunter (S Thompson)...? 

[OldManC]

If I go by my younger self it's Overend. Now that I have the hair to match (and the requisite Thunderbird) it seems a logical choice. Guess I'll need to refinish my Greco II in white.

Who says you can't play intelligent music with a Bicentennial?

Pete Agnew with a '60s reverse:

Pity it's a playback 'though, I'd love to have heard his sound through those SVT's. Pete seems to enjoy himself very much, maybe they visited one of those coffee shops...
