Really nice tune. Brings back memories.

The Midnight Special was so great with live stuff. I wish we had a forum like this today.

Also, his great work with the Zombies - one of the great creative pop bands of the mid-late 60s.

Climax - Precious and Few

Not uncommon back then on a TV show to see a live audience with a dub of the studio version...I always wondered in such instances what the audience is actually listening to.

reply

I love this song. I tried to find a cover version, but no luck finding anything good.

After The Fire - Der Kommissar

reply

I always liked this song...wonder why they never had another hit, as great a song as this one was?

reply

Because there has to be such a thing as a one-hit wonder :)

reply

agreed but it wasn't their song. Der Kommissar was originally done by "rock me amadeus" band Falco.... of course ATF did it better

reply

That's right! Thank you for reminding me of that...I had forgotten about Falco's version.
