Was that the ‘ brothers in arms ‘ tour ? That was such a special concept in Brisbane, full moon , crystal clear night with every star shining , one of the best concerts I’ve seen.
Yep - Same
Imagine a world where the best tune smiths fly under the radar.
The singer goes from band to band becoming more obscure as he goes.
Everyone sings his songs but none ever care to pin up his poster!
Yet, there he stands in plain sight...centre of attention...How is it so?
Thanks to seeds & swellnet we can out this Chameleon!
We're not alone....On one of these tracks...re: YouTube comments > punter also reveals the master!
He is known to those who enjoy each of these tunes...which is pretty easy as they're high rotation.
Guess this Musical Artist deserves a dedication...Salute to the master of Groovy Tunes.
UK Psychedelic Flower Power Band (re: 2 Deep Purple members in the touring band)
tbb is cuing this tune to show Tony's range & background > ( UK / SoCal Beach Boys / Flower Power)
Can hear : Bee Gees / US Pet Sounds Harmonies meets prog lush Moody Blues layering...
Note: This song is not catchy as such...more so a respected singalong!
1967 The Flower Pot Men ~ Lets Go to San Francisco
1970 Flower Pot Men Singer Tony Burrows charted worldwide hits with 4 different groups
Some of his original Flower pot Men appear alongside Tony as he digs in his infectious hooks!
It's the high quality nature of these embarrassing hooks that wins over the listener...none will feel dirty!
The tunes are cleverly crafted & instantly infectious...resistance is futile!
1970 White Plains ~ My Baby Loves Lovin
1970 Edison Lighthouse ~ Love Grows
1970 The Pipkins ~ Gimme Dat Ding
1974 First Class ~ Beach Baby
Salute to Tony Burrows
Classic string of catchy hits that deserve attention all these years later!

Saw Dire Straits at Hordern Pavilion on the brothers in arms tour.
Yeah, special concert.
Classic tune:
Some old school breakdance battles and earliest Ice T footage I’ve seen. Bit of Turbo from the old breakdance movies in there too.
No judgment as that has crept into my last music thread. Now come on we all have songs we love that aren’t in are usual I’m so cool playlist.
