Joey Molland performs "Dark Cloud" from his days in Natural Gas in Atlanta, GA, October 31, 1981. Accordingly, the clip looks pretty dark on the computer. The band was Joey Molland on guitar and lead vocals, Joe Tansin on guitar, Larry Lee on bass, and Bobby Wickland on drums.

This is my favorite song from the Natural Gas album. I've never seen anything like this and I think this is a fantastic video. I love the riff on this song; it's no wonder he wrote this during the tail end of his Badfinger days because it rivals some of the songs he wrote with his previous band.

Thanks for the reply, Barb. Sorry I'm late in replying. "Once Again (A Love Song)" was indeed the song that I was trying to recall. One of Joey's finest, in my book, along with "Love TIme", "Sweet Tuesday Morning" and "Love Will Come Around At Last." Thanks agin for the info on the line up. Be well. :)

Cool! Thanks for adding to the good times. I got to meet Tag there (from Tag and Fergie fame) who roadied for them! That was 12/8/81. They played there again on 2/6/83 and I wasn't about to miss it.

Barb! That would be awesome, I've always hoped to see some NG and felt sure that it existed somewhere thanks to Frampton. How's the quality?

The song was from the Natural Gas album, but this isn't really Natural Gas. This is a Badfinger band that Joey put together after "Say No More". I do have some Natural Gas video that was shot from the wings when they opened for Frampton in '76. I haven't transfered it to DVD yet, but when I do, I'll upload some of it.

Sounds like Split Enz. Any similarities in style or sound I wonder?

Lousy label. It's no wonder that it didn't sell. Too bad. It was a good album.

Here's another nugget on Natural Gas. That one album was produced by Felix Pappalardi of Mountain. I worked in a record store when that came out and got a promo 8-track with 3 songs on it, "Once again(A Love Song), "Little Darlin'" and "I Believe It's Love". I played it in my store for a while. I ordered some to sell, but I never got them. I special ordered it for myself, but it was on backorder. It took me 3 years, but I finally found a copy in a used record store in pristine condition. :)

I'd bet on "Once Again (A Love Song)" being the great ballad in this case. My first concert of his was at Brassy's in Cocoa Beach, Fl '81 with Joe Tansin and they did a killer version of that song that just melted me. Christmas Song is great too though.

It's just Barb. The album was "Natural Gas". The line up was Joey Molland (guitars), Mark Clarke (bass), Peter Wood (keyboards) and Jerry Shirley (drums). The ballad you are referring was either "Once Again (A Love Song)" or ,most likely, "Christmas Song". Be sure and check out my Yahoo group on Badfinger, Badfinger Boogie, for more on the band.

Barbara - thanks for posting this! I used to have this album and it was a favourite of mine. I've tried to years to hunt down another copy. Even the artwork was a delight! Joey did a great ballad on this album and I can't remember what it was called. Also, what was the band line-up on the album? I remember the piano playing was fabulous... but then, so was the whole album. Thanks.
