Ross Hannaford is a certified aussie rock guitar legend. RIP. Gonna miss your insanely brilliant guitar magic...i was hooked the moment i heard this song and your playing in 1971.
I was learning to play guitar in 1971 and picked up quite a few licks from Daddy Cool's records. I had hair back then and it was virtually the same as Ross Wilson's.
@@carolinegodden4364 . . I'm 68 nowadays, and right up until age 66 I still had my powerlifter's build, but then by the time I'd hit 67 things had begun to go wrong, little by little. First to go was my back, which made it too hard to keep lifting due to the pain. Then I started to lose some of the fine motor skills in my hands, but I kept going. Then in November 2021, my skills deserted me ON STAGE!! My hands went completely spaz on me, in front of every fan and supporter I had! Now I've got nothing to do and all day every day to do it. . . . .
Was the first concert my friends and I ever went to. Caught the bus from Swansea to Newcastle show ground, must’ve been around 71 , even took girls with us. Remember being totally mesmerised by Ross W singing and dancing in a baggy white suit and being blown away by Ross H’s playing - he was wearing a cap with a propeller on it 🙏. Great days - “come back again”🌌🥳
Daddy Cool! They had a hit way back in 1970s when I was first in Australia, I remember those times with good vibes,very nice young ladies, sun, surf and a few cold ones, good days.
Jilly, your man hanging out here. Say, how is John Farnham's recovery going? Does he need mates to go fishing yet? Or not quite up to that? Let me know. Bruce, BUGS and I will come and sit quietly, whist John never shuts up with his telepathy. I'm afraid, we are too late for the old, smother his face with a pillow 🔱. Dang. His stuck on you, like glue that Golden 🦁. Anytime, if he needs sorting, I'll send TOP GUNNS... you are not alone with the Big Fella, no more... CJ x
Agree, Ross Hanna was such a big but subliminal part of our history, he was always politely in the back ground behind Ross Wilson, I am 66 and first saw the band at amoco hall in orange 1970, Hanna just hung in there supporting Ross Wilson!
For a rehearsal the band sounds amazing, wow! Hearing the awesome sounding snare of Derek Pellicci, the super talented and truly awesome Ross Hannaford on guitar and Ross Wilson belting out two great tunes was a pleasure listening to.
Wow !!!!! Give me more if this music...classic....this is real music. Beats all the microphone crunchers of today's try hards who have no idea of writing songs or singing them.
I walked into the Sarah Sands,Sydney Road, late 80’s and Ross Hannaford was playing Lafayette Rail Road! I couldn’t believe his broad appreciation and his artistry!
How I dig Daddy Cool. Wilson and Hannaford had this uncanny knack of sounding brilliant with the two guitars plus their voices complimented each other on the chorus lines. Hope you're doin' a boogie upstairs Ross Hannaford. The fantastic rubber man RIP.
I was 11 in 1971 and at that time would have put SWEET CITY WOMAN by THE STAMPEDERS up against ANYTHING THEN...I didn't know of EAGLE ROCK by DADDY COOL at the time, and as CANADIAN as I am I must admit that EAGLE ROCK was an even better tune! No WONDER it was #1 on the Australia Charts for 10 weeks!
@@DotsKangaroo ah ha, so you arrived in the 50s. How was that transition, 50's to 60's did it feel as huge as it was.... Massive Cultural & 🍄 shift. Baby baby boomer here in Melbourne 61 yrs old, arrived 1961..... wowee speed of light shifts, as soon as I hit the dance floor via SIA & TOMMO GODDO.
@@DotsKangaroo I meant the laneway concert prob should have worded better, Would have been awesome seeing all these talented bands. However I do have a signed drumstick from Joe Camilleri 😀🎶😀
Just discovered this . Music has devolved compared to these gems. Check out Renee Geyer with Ross Hannaford on SingingDog , a Hessie production ,Love don't live here anymore . Mind blowing .
@@blueycarlton Yeah i didn’t know that, i found this: “Daddy Who?... Daddy Cool was also released in the US on the Warner/Reprise label and the band toured in support of its release. Two singles were lifted from the album: "Eagle Rock" No. 1 on the Australian national singles chart and "Come Back Again" which reached No. 3.”
@@UAPch A lot of their stuff on YT.

He went on to front Mondo Rock in the 80's, which had many hits. He has released many albums under his own name.
Great sound on this vid. Derek Pellicci from LRB on drums too. And Ross Hannaford, I always loved his playing and Monday nights at the Espy front bar with Dianna Kiss was a Melbourne institution.
Priceless... Wow - them was the days. Hanna was alive and Wilson had hair. Great video! One of the best videos I've seen on RUclips, and this was only a soundcheck!
Ross.W and Ross.H both Aussie Legends .But folks also on guitar behind them is more Aussie rock royalty James Black from Rockwiz ,Black sorrows,men at work gangajang etc. I see him helping bands sound good almost every year at "one electric Day "at Werribee mansion .It would be easier to list who he hasn't played with, guitar or keyboard. We need to appreciate them during their careers in Australia not lament after we have lost 'em. Jame's we're not worthy..! Then..theres Eric Mccusker....wrote or co-wrote mondo rock's hits...'these guys can fill their own wikipedia page with their "family trees of oz rock"

😮 my condolences 😢
Ross W ... Do you think any of the ARIA 2023 Winners will still be performing their songs live to an eager public over 50 years later?
Every aspiring Australian guitarist should watch this and learn , especially from the late great Ross Hannaford
Rest Easy Ross Hannaford Sensational guitarist and entertainer

Saw Ross.W perform in Warrugal in March 2023 he still got it. Neil. D
Man this is just so awesome... legends. That harmony and tone of the band. Unbelievable live mix.
Нравится… очень нравится!! Успехов Вам!!!!
Ross Hannaford should be a National Treasure in the Archives Museum.
He's a true legend. RIP mate.

Such a great, great band.
Man can't they play brilliant
I walked into the Sarah Sands,Sydney Road, late 80’s and Ross Hannaford was playing Lafayette Rail Road! I couldn’t believe his broad appreciation and his artistry!
The two Rosses remind me of The Party Machine , most original Aust Band
Takes me back to 71 as a radio hit
Takes me back to 82 Sweetwaters Mondo Rock.
I'm going to love these 2 songs till I die.😊
How I dig Daddy Cool. Wilson and Hannaford had this uncanny knack of sounding brilliant with the two guitars plus their voices complimented each other on the chorus lines. Hope you're doin' a boogie upstairs Ross Hannaford. The fantastic rubber man RIP.

Saw these guys live just once - small venue - still goosebumps
Sydney Showground 1971, I was the misbehaving 15 year old. hahahaha
If you still have goosebumps it's probably a skin disease.
