Correction...(confirmed by comments below) On this clip band is comprised of: Matt Taylor (vocals & harp),Charlie Tumahai (bass), Kevin Murphy (drums), and Lindsay Wells (guitar). ✌
I wasn’t be a smarty Brad it just reminded me of Little Goose. I called it Towards for many years, first saw Chain early 70s playing on the back of a semi tray, I think Carson played the same gig. Lost count of how many times I have seen them over the years, Toward was the best lineup for me. I have many Chain stories, most not appropriate for here. Thanks for your comment it brought back so many memories. It also reminded me to communicate with Matt, haven’t for a year or so. Thanks Brad.
@@keithspencer4225 Cool stories from a cool time mate. Bought the vinyl Toward the Blues when it came out ( I was 15) and then saw Chain,Thorpie,Wendy Saddington,Jeff St John and all the other bands back then,as often as I could,which didn't leave much time for school studies..🤣... ✌
great version with Matt ,charlie, Lindsay and kevin ,,, filling in ,, as stated many time before ,, not the late great Bazza Sullivan or Barry Harvey( Little goose and big goose ) and Phil Manning. Chain.... the guys are celebrating 50 years of Australian Rhythm and blues in 2018 i m doing two of the three show on offer at this time ,,, cheers all
A more general comment after reading the 24 below. Saw the Two Gooses and Warren Morgan open for Billy Thorpe and his "heavy" Aztecs at Festival Hall Brisbane. After about fifteen minutes Jerry Humphries joined them. The crowd rioted and threw all those wooden/canvas seats all over the place. Those really old ushers in white shirts gave up on the mayhem. After interval only about half the ticket holders returned for Thorpe's set. Top memory
You and me the same. Couldn't believe my ears when l heard both bands, early '70s. I remember thinking "the rest of the worlds gotta take note of us now"
Awesome Video mate, I am doing my research on Matt as I have a one on one interview with Matt 25th August 2020 and should have the videos published on my channel sometime in September 2020. Cheers #iSpike Western Australia

This is Charlie Tumahai on bass. Might not be Mr Manning on guitar either....unless he had his hair cut and wasn't wearing his glasses that day! Had this band been from the US they'd have been HUGE! Saw them in Melbourne in '71 when they supported The Kinks. Brilliant and timeless.
richard finlayson... Lots of bands back then would intermangle their members regularly, hence "Friends", a multi fascited mish mash of player's, just did this because they could. And Charlie T was the lead singer, bass player for King Harvest (hit song: Sex Machine) b4 joining Bill Nelsons' Be Bop Delux. Barry Sullivan was an excellent fretless Fender Precision bass player, often swapping that role with many, and this (back then) was the first and only time that I've seen and heard him playing lead, and shredding it with a Strat. Now, , the drummer here, is head swinging and hand jiving his stix like Mark Kennedy, (a young, teenage, off beat all the way, night n day, drumming prodigy, that ALL & sundrie wanted a piece of, just because he was THAT good) and here, (Matt Taylor, with real hair ) leads em out with this very beautiful musical prayer. Oh, man, those were THE days. And I was most humble e apprenticed (exposed) to it all. Regards.
Manning had a better voice pitch - sight Two of a Kind. Of message who can forget the bizarre long instrumental How to Set Fire to an Elephant - an awesome jam.
Blast from the past big time bra. Wow! Far too much guitar is grossly inadequate woefully insufficient & nowhere near enough 🤘🦘 Didyabringyabingalong Station 😎 Central QLD🎸
I'm surprised this hasn't had many views. Aussie blues at its best. Top playing by all.

Chain - Towards the Blues - one of the best all time Aussie blues albums.
Little Goose told me off once for saying Towards the blues he got quite cranky saying it’s bloody Toward! Never forgotten it. Great album!
@@keithspencer4225 I stand corrected.
I just looked at the album cover. Now I will have to remember that.

@@keithspencer4225 not taken as a smart comment. I just hadn't realised. 👍🙂

Great band I saw them many times Phil manning is a great guitarist
That’s Matt Taylor on vocals but I always preferred Phil Manning handling the singing.
great stuff...saw them in Wollongong circa1971
Chain I used to watch them live Sebastian in 70
When I started my first job I could start buying albums
And one of the first was
The Best Of Chian.So long ago.
I'm 43 grew up in Ingle Farm Adelaide sth Oz, seen Matt an Chain at the Bridge way hotel in the early 90s I miss those days ,memories..
who are ya bruva ? i'm ingle farmer
Do you remember Chris Finnen?
Awesome and unknown Band for me. Greetings and thankyou ✌️
Lindsay Wells (guitar), Charlie Tumahai (bass), both played in the legendary, short-lived Healing Force (Golden Miles).
+wayne elliott Charlie rip) had a great voice as well although not heard here, the Golden Miles is one of my Favourites! #music
+Tony Bologne Golden Miles #3 on my greatest Australian songs of all-time.
yeah I thought that was charlie tumahai playing bass, this apears to be a temporary line up
Short lived, but brilliant.
Tony Bologne Tony, Tony, Tony.!! That's clearly Charlie Tumahai on bass, Kevin Murphy on drums, and Lindsay Wells on guitar.
Correct on all three ✌...Tony was probably assuming this GTK studio lineup was same as on liner notes/album cover notes 🤔
Still Playing still performing, go see them, even better with age
Sample song of singing.❤❤❤
" my favourite 😍 piece when " im having a shit !" 👍 true
Those were the days! My friend.
great version with Matt ,charlie, Lindsay and kevin ,,, filling in ,, as stated many time before ,, not the late great Bazza Sullivan or Barry Harvey( Little goose and big goose ) and Phil Manning. Chain.... the guys are celebrating 50 years of Australian Rhythm and blues in 2018 i m doing two of the three show on offer at this time ,,, cheers all
An alternative line-up probably due to late flight issues but 3 of the best players for hire do a sensational job backing Matt in all the way!
Nope. This was the Chain line-up at the time. There have been 31 different members (known) in Chain..
Loved it then - love it now.

Chain have never been forgotten
This is The second best video Ithat I have ever seen man the first being spectrum some day I'll have mony the original hey

Hats off to Auzzy Chain for new improved Blues when many OS bands were just copying the originals songs.
Great version of this class. Matt Taylor's harp intro is evil!

Best Aussie blues
Chain actually started in Perth..not Melbourne
Kevin Murphy on drums. Not the regular line-up of Manning/Sullivan/Harvey.
Not Barry Sullivan on bass either - that's Charlie Tumahai

not not Phil Manning but nice playing
I have seen a few clips of chain with different line ups on these old shows maybe the other guys were not available when they shot the footage
was Charlie a Maori ?
Pohe Barton... Hi, Pohe. Yes, Charlie "was" Maori. He died far too soon, and while on the job, mentoring many young up and comings. Regards.

Chain were a great live band with some great music. This is not the original band though.
That's Lindsay Wells on guitar. Not Phill Manning.
Ian Sproul, Thankyou for the clarification. We were wondering who it was.

The best Chain song that they never recorded was YOUR WRONG . (Wallacia 1972 ?)
Dutch Tilders
Who wrote it?
Got your band members a bit mixed up
Doesn't look like Phil?
cos it isnt Phil
@@suesterling6312 I realise that, even though the intro text says it is
Because it is Lindsay Welles as pointed out by numerous comments above
I hate the way Taylor sings behind the beat. I've seen Chain a few times. I don't like Taylor.
I hope that’s a joke
Matts signature, delayed projection!
Don't watch it then.
