Lobby’s God track added after Leo Notarianni’s requested his great idea to go with footage. On would have been Lobby’s 80th birthday today. 18 May 1941 - 21 April 2007. Cheers Gezza
I Remember that day. The Elizabeth St, Bourke St Corner under 3 foot of water ( it’s a creek). The trains nor running due to flooding at Flinders St Station & all the tunnels flooded. I was inside fortunately.
Elizabeth Street is built on an old creek bed, as you pointed out, there was a small waterfall there emptying into the Yarra. I know this because it is part of the instruction telling my 5x great grandfather where his land was. He owned a block on Elizabeth Street and Flinders lane/ Collins Street. That is why Elizabeth Street floods, I remember that day as well. I remember Chapel Street was flooded, from just north of Windsor station all the way Nth to at least Commercial Rd. We went out and splashed around in the water, our Street was partly flooded, had water in the backyard. Dad had already filled in the old cellar that was prone to flooding in a decent downpour.
Its not hard to see how this track inspired the likes of Rose Tattoo and AC/DC. This time in our history is long gone, but never forgotten. and especially now, they're sadly missed.
This must be the ultimate film soundtrack,but more than that so atmospheric it was a gift to the Sharpie short film, worked so well, Absolutely brilliant track ❤🇬🇧
I remember that day ,I was working for G.J .Coles head office in 236 Bourke St. Also, hanging out the tram after every footy game . Fantastic footage great music from a monumental time in OZ rock.

@Bruce Parkes I thought of it being suited to that era and location. Flinders Street Station, Melbourne City.....1972. Sharpies were becoming really prevalent then and this instrumental guitar powerhouse from Lobby Lloyde and The Colored Balls suited the period footage
Moved to Melbourne from country Victoria in 1974 and never saw people clinging onto the sides of trams. The sort of thing that happens in Bangladesh or India.
I was working at Formal Wear Hire in Elizabeth St. when the flood happened. We were chest deep on the footpath pushing floating cars away from the front windows. Fairways menswear had their first real water damage sale. lol
really great guitar. loved the footage. thanks very much. those were the days my friend. lol no seriuosly they were. and i was only about 2 years old haha
Thanks Gezza. Then a 14 year old being on the front page of Go-Set at the Myer Music Bowl. The flood that happened, at some point in my reckoning, did hamper my soft drink sales and being young could scamper up and get to where the bulk drink was anyways. Nah, that's not quite right. I was 12

Billy Thorpe gave lobby credit for showing him how to play lead guitar , what a legend
It just doesn't get any more Early Seventies Melbourne than this
Plus i think as Australia was so far away from Europe they never gained the recognition they deserved just amazing ❤🇬🇧

Yeah well Victorians keep voting for Labor so can't feel sorry for them
Great historic footage. Love all the old cars as well!
They are worth a fortune these days.
Cars that had character,not like the modern models. Elizabeth st flooded so bad a car was floating around,that's 60s and 70s cars!
Look at Australia then
Now look at us 50 years on
G O D what happen to us
So sad 😥
Mate, those were the days.Before we became a sophisticated international city

"Wow, who is this guy". Carlos Santana watching Lobby Lloyd at the Myer Music Bowl...
1972 Melbourne - February flood caused rail chaos.
June train strike caused overcrowded trams and buses, and pedestrian chaos.
Happy 80th birthday 🥳 Lobby Loyde!!! Rocking with the angels!!!
Riding on the outside of trams. My god, the insanity...

What is your footy team you like? Just wondering 💭
@Bruce Parkes I thought of it being suited to that era and location. Flinders Street Station, Melbourne City.....1972.

@@leonotarianni5410 thanks very much again, great idea😁👍
@Bruce Parkes I agree goes great with the videos.
Happy birthday lobby loyde!!!
Moved to Melbourne from country Victoria in 1974 and never saw people clinging onto the sides of trams. The sort of thing that happens in Bangladesh or India.
Thankyou Gezza .
Much appreciated
I didn't realise it was Lobby Lloyde's birthday today
That was some riff, and the groove was building. Wish it didnt end
it goes for 16 minutes. Search it on TH-cam - Coloured Balls G.O.D
@@AussieBamBam thank you brother for spreading the word. I'm converted.🤘😝🤘
I was working at Formal Wear Hire in Elizabeth St. when the flood happened. We were chest deep on the footpath pushing floating cars away from the front windows. Fairways menswear had their first real water damage sale. lol
Could have been dangerous. A slip in the water and the cars over you crushed.
really great guitar.
loved the footage.
thanks very much.
those were the days my friend. lol no seriuosly they were. and i was only about 2 years old haha
I must admit that the HQ Holden Premier makes every other car look dated. It was the beginning of a new generation of styling.
I though the same.
ZD fairlane looked pretty spectacular for its time as well
I remember hanging on to the outside of the tram.
That went away quite suddenly!
We use to do it leaving the footy with a can in hand
amazing footage

Love the OH&S 🤣
♡♡♡
I am confused as to why so many people were crowded on the trams... was this after the downpour and flood in Elisabeth Street?
Yes, Flinders St station subways also flooded probably didn't help.
Gezza, Lizzy Street was a natural creek course before Settlement. So when the big rains come it used to flow down from the north to the Yarra.
You could do anything that didn't hurt anybody back then. Now, anything you do, hurts everybody. Neanderthal and teacher.
👍🏻🇦🇺😃
O,h & s..... lol
People hanging off the trams! Could be India haha
He finish GOD. by the coloured balls. Not the half balls .ya know
