- The Coloured Balls performing "Help Me" at Sunbury '73. Excellent blues jam with a basic bass line which I pretty much picked up when practicing my bass. The clip is unfortunately incomplete

A definitive CD and DVD release of the Sunbury concerts should be made and released.
i was there when they played this and it went for what seemed like hours. was great!!
@oldaussiemusic They were the unofficial 'Sharpie' band. Lobby Lloyde formed them, and later (for like, 30 years) ran one of Australia's best rock recording studios (in Richmond, where I met him several times around 1989).
Sharpies were anything but hippes. The sharpie scene was a precursor to skins and was arguably the most violent of scenes in modern Australian history.
Lobby Lloyd basically broke the band up because he didn't want to be associated with the thug element.
Most underrated aussie band ever. I appreciate them so much now but didn't when i was a teenager there.
A friend of mine who saw a lot of bands live in the 70's told me the Coloured Balls were the loudest band by far.
Yes they were IMHO
@@TonyHardingPHOTOGRAPHY Pardon?
I still have a shard of a steel-cone from one of their horn-loaded loudspeakers that exploded while I was standing in front of it!
I SAID, I SAID, THEY HAD PLENTY OF COMPETITION THOUGH, BUT YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH! @MichaelKingsfordGray
It is Sunbury 73 and it is The Coloured Balls in the vision, but that is not the song they are playing. The song is last few bars of an eleven and a half minute jam, "Help Me/Rock Me Baby" going into "Going Down" also featuring Billy Thorpe and Leo de Castro released as Summer Jam. As the back cover notes "recorded live at Sunbury 73 between the hours of 3.30 a.m. and 4.45 a.m. on Monday 29th January..." It was still dark, still 90+farenheit and I was there.
awesome 👍
Love the Altec Multicell for a center fill monitor and the J and W bins in the back line.
Someone somewhere must have the rest of the song on tape, it is just magnificent!! Indeed History in the making!
The bass line is reminiscent of Booker T & the MG's. Green Onions. Wish the whole song was available, as it is really great. Thanks for posting!
Just before my time but I can see how Rose Tattoo evolved shortly afterwards and where is Lobby Loyde in all of this? Got three songs of his on a DVD playing live at Sunbury '72.
Looks like a bit of Oz rock history. Great guitar tone. Can see why Lobby Loyde was so popular.
LOVED THE COLOURED BALLS
lots of my fave ozz bands there i have two Australian colectors albums 72 74 thorpie colourded balls carson ,i'm a kiwiwi was over there for a ouple of years when it was rocking
Bogans and blues, Weird combo but we love it.
Sharpies and blues. Lobby Loyde was “The Man”. He and the blues were made for each other.
I'm a 62 yr old Flano wearing bogan who still has a quirly in my mouth when i play the blues................love it.
so true
great band great sounds
Wow !!! I was there...to see it now is a lot different to what I remember eh !!..What a time it was...
great music
Loved lobby Lloyd and coloured balls unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to attend 😢
Nice mix 🎶
3 days of love, peace, music,
Lol love and peace rubbish
And what looks like someone laying the boots in at 1:43
Love this too . So tame now 😊
it was the uncontrollable violence between the skin heads and the bikies that finally killed Sunbury pop festival in 1975. I was there and it was a mess. The constant tension between the two camps and then break outs of brawls and stabbing was appalling. .
elite said so.
I love my country....hail the old SHAPIES.
I can see myself in the distance in one brief moment!
great early mullets! fine style boyzz
AC/DC 's cousins !
Bucur Dragos I’m sure Bon was blown away by them
I was there😂 Someone tell which property address and who owned the land. I'd love to go back today and visit the site. I was too young to remember where it was held.
The head nodding is right - we all danced that way - elbows akimbo!
Its a wonder that guy never lost his cigarette by nodding lol
Fantastic. Did Mick Hadley front these for a while.
Pretty sure no.
Drummer's name, please. That dude kicks ass.
Trevor Young.
Saw them at Pooraka Hotel when I 16yo.
I was there to.My partner and I spoke to Lobby Lloyd.
Lobby's solo sounds like some kid in a music store on Saturday morning here.
nice sound's
Andrew Fordham, on vocals, he left soon after, anyone know what happened to him from there?
S H A R P I E S
That's what I was thinking!
Lobby Lloyd was such a good guitar player he lived next door to us with his beautiful girlfriend Shara Berriman.
Cool sharpie haircuts.
I went here the other week just to stand on the grounds 😂
Do you know of anything from Sunbury 1974 existing aside from the Cinesound newsreel?
o god que show raro.

I've just uploaded the complete audio of the final Lobby Loyde & The Coloured Balls gig at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne - 19 December 2006

G00d Shit !
los veo muy duros XD
ac/dc is boring?
every one has gone to score
TONY COSTANZO everyone scored that went
Green eggs and ham
@TyranusForte Because us Aussies back then think gross hairdos n boring rock music is cool going by your opinion lol. In reality, early 70s it was still the hippy era hence the wild hairdos and blues rock music was very much appreciated back then, the Sunbury scene was very similar to Woodstock.
were as grunge as you'll ever get..
@TyranusForte
how old are you? The Coloured Balls, one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever!
How about AC/DC also great & Australian. You are only showing your ignorance by leaving by leaving by leaving your narrow minded comments! go listing to some rap!
By the way, I love a lot of different music! including Green Day & Pink.
You replied to the wrong fella
cool lookin festival :) where are all the recycle bins and adverts though? ;)
Lobby taught Billy
I think there’s only one alive
Не слабо делают
Didn’t notice any warfare at all , don’t know what that was .
sorry bro
Drummer gonna break his neck before they even get started 😅
Matthew McConaughey 0:49
What???
70's sharpies .
Sharpies rule OK
same hairdresser
Not sure about the mullet though...
How did they get away with ripping off Booker T ?
Back in those days when anyone heard a band doing 'Help Me', we all immediately thought of Johnny Winter. ( See 'Progressive Blues Experiment' album) AWESOME!!
Boring !!
get some beer my man, get an awful lot of beer...
And today's music isn't?
The days when you could just jam away on a twelve bar blues and everyone would think it was great.
@AussieNusa I'm old enough to know that acdc is the most boring band ever. simplest drum beats ever.corniest lyrics ever..
and for that matter pink and greenday both suck too.
you're not as smart as you think. I'm only attacking you because you attacked me and this is the internet.
I'm narrow minded?
understand what I'm saying instead of just getting angry and leaving hate comments. I don't like your blues rock..the only band from australia I've ever liked was the birthday party.
Boring jam by a sharpie band.
Some choice guitar playing.
