Love his song girls 's on the avenue❤

Wow, I’m 63 and still haven’t heard the whole “living in the 70s” album. Was on a school excursion to Sydney and bought the album cassette and someone stole it from me on the bus home lol Shirley dying was a tragedy

I am still a huge fan of Skyhooks. In the 1990s I worked in a restaurant in St Kilda that was popular with celebrities. Bob Starky, Joe Camelieri and Paul Grabowski and their partners were the the most decent down to earth people you could hope to meet. I bumped into Bob a couple of times around the traps and have a drink and a chin wag. Jon Bon Jovi was a wanker😛 He would book the resteraunt after closing, when the plebs had vacated

Anyone remember "Shirl's Neighbourhood"? Claude the Crow and Shirley..... funniest afternoon telly there ever was.

What a range he had!!!! Shirl is still the greatest vocalist this country has ever produced. I've heard many attempt to sing "Women In Uniform" - even the great John(ny) Farnham, but NONE can pull it off as good as what Shirley did.

So sad we lost him a Legend

Met red lots timed

Breaks my heart

Thanks Red, we still talk about the night we saw Skyhooks at The Playroom Gold Coast. Another great venue that's gone but another great group that lives on in our memory!

jukebox in siberia worst

I can't believe I haven't seen this.Ive seen, read and heard just about everything on Skyhooks, Shirl and Red. All their Records etc, I still have the herald sun when the tragic news broke about Shirl and I also have an old audio tape I recorded off the radio, when they were paying tributes and callers ringing up every 5 minutes paying their respects, playing Skyhook songs all night. Also ironically for years I've been trying to find a big framed picture of living in the 70's that Red's got on his wall, and I still can't find it anywhere on Ebay or other sites.

Sunbury 72 burnt in my mind😎

Skyhook’s opened my eyes, to what was going on, in the 70’s.xxx

Bullshit about young girls,, John Paul Young,, was our hero,, Skyhooks gave us knowledge, the confidence to be ourselves. Xxx

Skyhooks where my most favourite band 1974, once I understood that Horror Movie was the 6:30 News, I was hooked, because living in seventies, Vietnam War, Who knew. Love Skyhooks. Thanks guys. 🌟🌟👏👏🎶🎶🦋

Thanks for posting this (I recorded it too....)

Australia's greatest ever singer-songwriter, imo. Then daylight. Then a tie between Don Walker and the incredibly underrated late Mark Gillespie.

Red, we're going bushwalking: Red dons casual shoes, slacks & a suit jacket.

TY

I miss the 70,80, so bad from horror movie on my tv to horror walking down my street feel really sorry for the young kids and people with all the wanker in government’s worldwide FUCK YOU I guess I’m really lucky I’m not sure but I remember a Ross Wilson giving me a baby fox terrier, jack Russell pup ? When I was kid thank anyhow thank for many good times can you imagine how many party’s your music was play at cheers guys poofs hahaha

Thank you, Skyhooks

I've really enjoyed each of your videos Tracey. It's amazing seeing things come together.

Shirley Stratton rest in peace Skyhooks

“Let me tell your viewers that I assure you that I’m not a poofter” Ah they were the days. RIP Shirley.

I always though Red was underrated

What a lot of people now and then fail to realise is that the members of the classic lineup of Skyhooks were all incredible musicians. Shirley was one of the great Aussie vocalists. Just listen to Million Dollar Riff. Red and Bongo were great guitarists. Greg is one of the greatest Bass players Australia has ever produced as well as one of its greatest songwriters. Freddie, one of the greatest drummers. Skyhooks sound great on record and great live. That is the mark of a truly great musical group. In many ways, Skyhooks shared a similar magic to The Beatles in that the "Whole" was greater than the sum of the parts.

Skyhooks was the first concert I had seen at feast..hall in Melbourne. It was so great. 💃💃

Hey it was me that wrote that letter on the back of that album I did it for a shit stir I was going thru puberty in a mining town Rosebery on the west coast of Tasmania. Not a place I’d like to take my daughter.

Their punchy and dynamic sound was never really captured on their recordings imo. Great live band❤

ETERNITY!!!

Red was jealous of his fellow band members. i was told the inside scoop many moons ago by a professional groupie/roadie. her name was Morgan

Group band! Missed beyond belief🫶🏻😭

Rip Shirl

Now almost 50 years ago..

I was at the Olympic park last concert

As a Bassist I completely admire Greg Macainsh's Bass Style n sound....coupled with Reds awesome guitar riffs and Shirl's cheeky Aussie clever lyrics.....RIP

My favourite DD song👍

Was first live band I ever saw at Lismore city Hall in the mid 70’s! I was still at school and they were awesome!!

lol red wasnt a pretty cross dresser lmao

I've lived in the USA UK and NZ since those days. As a musician who doesn't play a lot of covers these days I try to describe the music I grew up with. It's very different to what other musicians, particularly in the USA and UK listened to. And, they all expect you to know what they listened to, and played. Here is a band the Skyhooks who just were different, and great.

I remember it all very well. Great music ❤❤❤❤❤

The soundstrack of the 70s. But really, "Billy Thorpe's generic blues" (4:57)?? Jesus, give me the Aztecs over Skyhooks any day.

Ego is not a dirty word ❤

2:01😢🫡😭

From better times. The story that is.

Mmmm. Not sure. Sure as hell isn't the pistols , clash, damned, ...couldn't see they'd have got a deal in the uk if they were a UK band....

I watched this in New Zealand. They put them with Santana. It was fantastic. They had police there watching them.

Saw 'em at Manly beach in 1976 the bands were up on the walkway and we were down on the beach they were awesome and really kicked some arse that night.much better live....

I had the privilege of going to one of their last concerts (ie post Jukebox In Siberia), I think they called it the "1970s tour - extra dates" A wonderful and memorable night.

Umm...the Easybeats were there first.
