I had the the extreme privilage of playing sax for the original reunited Daddy Cool on their 2007 national tour with The Beach Boys and Christopher Cross.
Probs because they weren't a long lasting band. They broke up in 1975 (after only 5 years). They definitely had potential. The lead singer (Ross Wilson) did go on to form another band called Mondo Rock which had decent success in Australia.
internationally speaking being australian very well could've been a strike against them unfortunately. if they were american or british it might've been a very different story.
1975, just 4 years after the release of Eagle Rock, the world had changed so much...it was already nostalgia and it is played that way..it is as if it is 2015.
well wow wow, how cool is this band, I haven't seen this footage before and have wondered how Daddy was back then, now I know they were as great as I figured they would be.... Thank you to the Boss
Wow them ladies was lit them dance moves 💃🏻😂🔥 One of only a few, if not the only, authentic Austalian rock n roll artist IMHO. Heaps of sharpies at the concert
One of only a few, if not the only, authentic Austalian rock n roll artist IMHO. Check out the mullet hair-do some of the young girls were wearing, they are grannies now! Good stuff...
Love these guys! Did anybody not notice the guitarist on the left of the bass player? Have a guess?? I had to replay it several times.. Yes it’s Angus Young of Ac/Dc!!
Great memories. My late dads favourite song back in the days was Eagle Rock. Questional dancing moves. Skinheads and Sharpies, who would all now be in their 60s. Also noticed it was an all white crowd for Bangladesh. Was there a drought there?
I can't believe there is not a good video of this song!!! Can no one up load the original? Even if it's just the scene from Wolf Creek where they're listening to it in the car. Great song and not one really good video on TH-cam. Amazing.
Weren't childrens clothes awful in the mid-70s! Reminds me of when we went to the snow at Lake Mountain, and to keep us warm our mum made each kid wear a second layer of clothing she bought at the op shop! We hated it!
BANGLADESH IS EAST PAKISTAN AFTER SEPARATION FROM ENGLAND - IT WAS AMONGST THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD AT THAT TIME - AND PROBABLY REMAINS SO...SOME BIG DEPT STORES SOURCE A LOT OF CLOTHES FROM THERE, NOW.....
@@DotsKangaroo That's correct, George and co-producer Phil Spector organised the concert in August 71. Some of the greatest musos on the planet were there.
It is like they make good interesting musical sounds but they are horrible lyricists - why am I singing about an eagle? Are eagles connected to dancing in some way? But the eagle rock song is musically very fine.

3:31 Ross Hannaford tunes Ross Wilson's guitar mid-flight - very impressive
You can tell this is "Daddy Cool" with your eyes shut. What a sound!
Such an under rated band they were great
I saw them live around 1969 at Adelaide University (South Australia) at a lunch time concert. Great band.
Lead singer handled that microphone wire glitch like a true pro. He never lost a beat. Excellent showmanship!
so impressive.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how rock and roll is done properly.
sure is!
This Rock n Rolls. Diggin the vocal delivery.
Still listening now ! on Australia Day 2021
Daddy who? Daddy Cool!!
good old Aussie Rock love it & i miss it.
Come on, why didn't these guys get more recognition, this stuff is great. Really well done , well played and tends to put a smile on your face.

Huge Daddy Cool fan and this video is a gem! Thanks for posting!

Sharpie dancing from 4.03 onwards 😃
saw them in 71 and still one of the best shows I ever saw and I've been going to shows since 69 and still go.one of my absolute favorites.
Yeah I saw them in '72 - fantastic...
Also saw them in 71, 15 years old, and remains one of the best concerts ever - and I have seen a few
Gosh Ross was and is still gorgeous. So unique. Beautiful and brilliant.
well wow wow, how cool is this band, I haven't seen this footage before and have wondered how Daddy was back then, now I know they were as great as I figured they would be.... Thank you to the Boss

Check out the mullet hair-do some of the young girls were wearing, they are grannies now!
Good stuff...
Sorry but somehow wolf creek brought me here. What a song, what a band.
Jesus, Ross, those trousers a a bit of a worry!!
I love those trousers! Very fashionable in the 70's. Hate the trousers young ones wear today!
That guy is a spitting image of Ross Wilson!
Omgosh love them
Ross 'the boss' Wilson
Good stuff...
Love these guys!
Did anybody not notice the guitarist on the left of the bass player?
Have a guess??
I had to replay it several times..
Yes it’s Angus Young of Ac/Dc!!
No its not Angus Young , More than likely its Ian Winter who played guitar when DC went 5 piece
@@Superyob It's actually Gunther Gorman... hahah Angus in Daddy Cool.. that's funny
That's hilarious.. you need glasses.. His name is Gunther Gorman.. Angus never played with Daddy Cool.

TAA WAS AN OLD AIRLINE COMPANY = TRANS AUSTRALIAN AIRLINES
Wow !

I always thought Ross was the first coming of Eddie Veder.
Well you see it all started when Father wouldn't buy me a guitar amp for Christmas... :D
Heaps of sharpies at the concert
They are all there to see a new band called AC/DC who were going to be on later......
looks like the 30 people in the audience enjoyed this
5:04 Pop's duggin it !!!
Weren't childrens clothes awful in the mid-70s! Reminds me of when we went to the snow at Lake Mountain, and to keep us warm our mum made each kid wear a second layer of clothing she bought at the op shop! We hated it!
Great band, great music. Glad I didn't have to hang out with the "cool' people in that crowd though!
I wonder who the tripper was playing the guitar with one humbucker in the bridge stage left? He was definitely flying!
I think it was Ian Winter who joined DC when they had 5 in the band
@@Superyob It's Gunther Gorman mate, Ian Winter was a tall skinny bloke.
And here's 13 year old Ross on vocals... hahaha
Check out the mullet hair-do some of the young girls were wearing, they are grannies now!
Sharpies
Hey what brand of guitar is Ross playing?
Is that a young Malcom and Angus playing with Daddy Cool?
From what I've been told its Gunther Gorman up there with Ross Wilson , Gary Young , Ross Hannaford RIP & Wayne Duncan RIP

It's a massive flood plain, and floods nearly every year. George Harrison also did Concert for Bangladesh

Who was the other group ????????????????
Boney M
no no no, it was the chipmunks, they had a huge hit with it
Drummond

Eagle rock is a dance popular among blacks in the 20's. The song also inspired Crocodile rock by Elton John.
I did not know that!
'Eagle Rock' itself was inspired by 'Ride a White Swan' by T.Rex.
Nearly 50 years later, its still on EVERY jukebox in EVERY pub in Australia.
