Yes, too true; although consider that they may want a normal life - the quiet privacy to go about everyday life in public without 101 strangers constantly coming up to you every day, treating you like an object, demanding and expecting your energy; imagine what that's like and you get an inkling of how awful fame is; why you might snap and become aloof/unfriendly.

its funny how sometimes you meet the people you look up to and they turn out to be total wankers, loved this band back in the 70's, they've left us with some great music

This song is my all time favorite song by Skyhooks. It still stands today and as players these guys were world class.

@bretteden hi, thanx for the comment. I much appreciate positive feedback. Sorry to say, but I don't have much on Red, besides the dodgy solo single in he did titled 'Only A B-side' (or whatever it was titled)... on my nzoz1976 channel.

Fantastic ! Thanks for sharing. The desk looks like something that NASA would use. I always loved the production on this album and was thrilled when I read that it was done by Ross Wilson. He really is a musical genius !

Interesting how much the bass line and groove that start at 0:50 resemble 'Dancing In The Moonlight' by Thin Lizzy.

The existence of this is nothing short of incredible. NZOZ, you should have been on the team that put the DVD together. The song "Love's Not Good Enough" is surely the Skyhooks' masterpiece and it's amazing that a doco about its creation was made, let alone is still around for us to enjoy.
