Old Grey Whistle Test

Hope some of you at least caught the OGWT on BBC4 last night.

 

Recorded in 77, I was a bit too young to have watched it at the time. In amongst the bad hair and teeth there was some great performances - Patti Smith, Bob Marley and Bowie were just fantastic. Will be hitting the record shops in the morning.

Took me back to my youth. I remember listening to the original broadcasts. Used to tape some of them on my Philips N4510 Reel  to Reel using the headphone socket on my 13'' Sony Trinitron TV.

Just watched it on I-player. Great really enjoyed Argent God gave rock n roll to you, vinegar Joe & a storming Jumpin Jack flash by Johnny Winter. Bowie was great also.
