00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: How are you finally on the road after two canceled tours?

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: I know.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: It's a lustful memory.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: Well, actually it's really good. We've done a lot of

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: shows this year now, and this particular show we're doing

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: at the Childs we're celebrating forty years later the Darkroom album.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: Funny enough forty two years later, because it was all

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: supposed to happen two years ago, but nevertheless, it's wonderful.

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: So what we do is we play the Darkroom album

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: in entirety as a little show, and then we take

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: a break, and then we come back on and we

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: do you know, the usual suspects and a few other things.

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: So many great songs on the album. We just heard

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: one of them right there, mate, no secrets, wud kick

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: the album off, But there were some other great moments

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 4: over there.

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, then that kicks the show off. Yeah. Actually, it's

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: really interesting doing an album as a show because it

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: really works. Yeah. Yeah, And at the end we do

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: Devil's skate while play the harmonica, and I can tell

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: you I need to break after.

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: That, you get your circular breathing game.

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: Well, I have always thought that an album is meant

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: to be listened to from beginning to end.

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: Well that's what we used.

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: It's not an accident, you know.

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we used to make albums. I mean,

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: and out of those albums you had your hits. Yeah,

33
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: but we had that that you know, that thing where

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: you know we're face to face, no exit in dark

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: room in particular. Well, I really know it kept going.

36
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: You know that you make an album as a work,

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: you know, so we still do that, really.

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but ilays like that with Night Attack a few

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: years later. Now, tell me, I know that on stage

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: your brother Rick, Yeah, do you ever really see the

41
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: fans who'd be down the front trying to get him

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: to smile or get him to laugh, and trying to

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: him up because it was a hopeless mission. It was

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: always doing for failure, wasn't it.

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean girls used to do used to

46
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: lift their top up to make him smile or something.

47
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, people eat lemons in front of him

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: and then they just stand here and we'll rip it up.

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: I mean, he's such a great player, you.

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Know, I think I've heard I don't know if this

51
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: is an old wives tyle, but eating a lemon in

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: front of a saxophone player will put him off the saxophone.

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Oh really, Yeah, there's something weird about eating lemons in

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: front of someone playing something like that.

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. People have tried that with me with

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: a harmonica too.

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: In fact, the sex player, if you throw it in

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: the end, I would imagine absolutely about that. Yeah, yeah,

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: I want.

60
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: To know if it's true or not. So your son

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Sam is now in the band. Did you make him

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: on the show?

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: No? I mean, look, Sam came in for very you know,

64
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: for very sad reasons because our base player Chris Bady

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: took answer and Sam was just asked if he would

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: just fill in, you know, and sadly, you know, Chris

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: died and Sam stayed. But Sam got to know Chris

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: really well. Chris was a wonderful man and a great

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: bass player, and Sam really studied Chris's style. I mean,

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: he brings his own style into the band these days,

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: but he really he really learn a lot from Chris

72
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: and become a really good friend of Chris's, so you know,

73
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: we we tip. I had to reckon I go out

74
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: on the stage in the non care and we tip.

75
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: I had to both Stock and Chris and single updakes

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: care just the Turbius. And you know, we'll never forget

77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: those guys, you.

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: Know, absolutely, Hey, Johnny, when I was working in camera,

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: it was quite a while ago, now, I remember, in

80
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: the space of about six months, I got to see

81
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: you guys lives. So I was a meter and a

82
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: half from Dock down the front of the stage, and

83
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: then within a few months there was a young band

84
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: at a Newcastle with Daved Lisa out front over the

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: screaming jets. I've got to see both of those guys

86
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: in their element, and now they've both been absolute long

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: term members of the Angels.

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: We can never forget how good Doc was.

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know day stream with a snap for

90
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: eleven years and yeah, I mean, you know, people say

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: he stepped into Doc shoes. I don't actually agree with that.

92
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: I think he brought his own shoes. But he's got

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: a similar kind of town bur and his voice and

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: suits our songs, and you know, he's a great guy.

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: He's a brilliant front man, and it was a scaley wag,

96
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: you know, like the.

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: We talked to him pretty regularly.

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Here's a great guy.

99
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: Tell me this.

100
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: What was it like being Chuck Berry's backing band.

101
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: It was it was we were young, but I mean

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: chack Berry had this attitude that everybody knows his song,

103
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: so yeah, rehearse with him. So the first time we

104
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: met Jackberry was just before that we played at seven

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: and a half thousand people in the Hawden Pavilion and we

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: were absolutely terrified. And it just turned to the band

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: and he said, just watch my left foot. When I

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: stamped my left foot, we start when I stand, but

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: again we stopped.

110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: That's amazing, how bizarre, but it was.

111
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: It's a fantastic memory. And you know, in that same year,

112
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: you know, we two of the chack Berry and we

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: met a c DC who introduced us to Alberts and

114
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: so changed our whole life. You know, everything was It

115
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: was amazing. I actually played bass for Chackberry, Doctor and

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: Get a Guernsey in that the King played the drums,

117
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: I played the bass, and Rick played piano. And Rick

118
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: had to learn that all the piano parts on the

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: Black and White Geese because Chack wouldn't not not necessarily

120
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: play a song in the same key each time?

121
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is.

122
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 4: There is a concert film with him getting grumpy with

123
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: Keith Richards. He's telling Keith off was he grumpy? Was

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 4: he was he like that?

125
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: John? Oh? I think they actually hit each other.

126
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was right for young and old.

127
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chuck. Look, you know we all think Chaft Burry

128
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: is amazing and he was great powered as well as

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: you know, a wonderful songwriter, very unique style of playing guitar.

130
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: But really it was a very difficult man.

131
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well there's a fine line, isn't that You

132
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: never can tell?

133
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,000
