He said a hey, hey, hey yeah!

A newly restored and robotically upscaled Gillan live video from the BBC’s Rock Goes to College series. It is the ever so frantic performance of New Orleans, complete with guitar demolition (wonder where Bernie got this from).

Thanks to Steve for his relentlessness.

    Outrageous behaviour from Bernie. Mind you, tensions were building at that time, were they not? Possibly a symbolic gesture by Bernie? Cheers.

    Ohhhh John McC is really good, and the rest of the band: WOAH 🤩

    Ian, however, sounds a tiny bit weak in his vocal performance. But ok, the last song at a concert, so maybe he just needed some hot coffee…☺️

    Bernie has a lot to learn from Ritchie re the proper execution of a Strat – The Art of the Kill … Very messy the way he does it.

    Sound of the vid is pretty dull too, doesn’t sound like that was upgraded at all.

    Love it!! Nice vocals from Gillan and a great duel between Gillan and Bernie in the “hey hey hey” section, great stuff!

    Madness that makes you laugh.
    It’s a fun band that never took themselves seriously and that’s why they fit the purpose but they didn’t evolve with time hence why it was short lived.
    Peace ✌️
