Old Grey Whistle Test

Has anyone been watching the repeats?

Or has anyone taped them?...

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrds - Freebird... which was FANTASTIC, but that was the only one my dad had taped for me.

Northy probably has every damn episode ever on tape...

Fuck off, yuz Hippie twatz...

'Ere, Mutha, this 'un wants tu snog ye, yuz aan bairn an' that!

Fuck off, am not gannin' oot wi' that ugly cunt!!

ants, that my be a joke but, which one would you like? just tell the band and i'll try and dig them out.

erm;
The Ramones
The Specials
Meatloaf

they are the ones I have missed and want to see.

Also, I'm not sure if they have been on O.G.W.T. but 10cc... if you have it.

Oh, and Cream

I really wasnt joking....

When they first showed those compilations a few months back I literally couldn't believe Freebird, it was without a doubt the worst thing I've ever seen

Though I seem to recall the New York Dolls appearance was fucking great and the Patti Smith and Talking Heads ones were pretty good as well

Yeah, the talking heads Whistle Tests where the first time they had been on TV..

I think they had just been on a tour with Dire Straights.

Patti Smith hasn't got anything on Lynyrd Skynyrd.

agree

i would like to see again billy joels set.
also, anything of cream, fleetwood mac ( the original, not the gay rumours era shit)or 10 cc would rule, if anyone has any footage of these, please let me know.

I might have Billy Joels on tape, he was fantastic, especially on the piano.

shit, shit, shit.... I don't knwo why I was logged in as Alex... Sorry..

Yeah, Ed.. I may have Billy Joels on tape..

i'll look for them later on, havnt got much time at the mo, but the talking heads one is one of the best performaces ever. they had many different ideas to what everyone else was doing at the time.

BILLY JOEL?!?

I believe Magazine and Public Image Ltd both appeared in the late 70s - ah, post-punk heaven

But on the whole I imagine the show was pretty rubbish - like Later Mit Jools I guess you'd have to sit through a lot of dullness to get to the good stuff
