I was at Kansas City When Ringo and his All star band were there. My friend and I were the ONLY people in the upper seats dancing, singing whooping. The guy next to me said to me "God you you are making asses of yourselves sit the f@&k down. This brought out the real me heh heh heh!! So I started singing Dreadlock Holiday to him. His face turned beat red. How can you not have this much talent and loved music before you and not at least clap or get up and dance?? I can usually get my neighbor to the left or right to do just that. "Dance like there is no one looking" because after all I had a total blast so did my friend. Peace Love and Rock n Roll,!!
I bet that back in the late 1970s, Steve Lukather would never have imagined that one day decades later he would be playing guitar on "Dreadlock Holiday" with Graham Gouldman on Bass and Ringo Starr on drums. Wjat a wonderful world we live in. Big Cheers to you Graham from the Land Down Under.
This is nothing short of phenomenal. A radio station in Chicago played this song back in the day. Loved it then and it sounds even better now. Thank you so much Ringo and the band for keeping great music alive!!! I love it!!!
@@jerrywoods4066 Well as Ricky Nelson said in Garden Party "But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself"
This was the first single I owned, a present. The first single I bought with my own money was Heart of Glass, Blonde. What a wonderful time for music the seventies were.
White radio stations in the USA wouldn't play "reggae" on their play lists. They assumed it was a black band playing. Graham's still out there touring in 2022. He doesn't have to, He loves it !
@@magnusiversen820 I was talking about ruining the preformance with autotune in post production as happens too much these days. But there also is alot you can do with vocal effects these days to. The TC VoiceLive for example.
Saw Graham last month at Pete Barton's Music and Arts Centre, Barnoldswick, Lancashire. What a terrific performer, lovely man and, of course, fantastic music. "Sir Graham" sounds suitable (and overdue) recompense for giving us a lifetime of great music. Come on, those who can make it so.
Judging by the millions of records sold when he's written the music and lyrics , performed by Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, The Hollies, Herman's Hermits and 10CC I don't think those who bought his material under rated it. I never did ... he's a genius and a credit to Manchester (England).
@@norwegianzound He's NOT underrated - he's just not a "household name" like Billy Joel or Bruce Springsteen . Not too crazy for this here song , and the reason it did not take in the USA was because America's Top 40 did not know / like / accept reggae music at that time.
Didn't know about Graham Gouldman from 10CC, as a bass player, I really enjoyed his playing, nice solid sound from his Richenbacher. Ringo puts some good All Star Bands together.
Still time, release it now. Maybe not ( gems like these no longer appreciated by the youth, guaranteed dancefloor nevertheless especially the dad dancers😅🕺🕺🕺👌
Graham Gouldman, I will be with you in Weymouth,Dorset, October 23rd 2024. 3rd time I've been at your Concert................looking forward so much to seeing you all again. 😍🌞
This was the show in Minneapolis/St. Paul that I missed because of a schedule change. I have most if not all of 10cc material. My 1st record was The Original Soundtrack that I bought because of the record cover. That was 1975. Wow, 47 Years ago. It still gets played once a month, along with some of the others. They are in my top favorites alongside of Steeley Dan. Very talented and I don't think they got the credit they deserved. Thank you for your Music!!
According to Wayne Fontana, Graham Gouldman wrote a great song for The Hollies - Bus Stop, a great song for The Yardbirds - For Your Love, a great song for Herman's Hermits - No Milk Today and a piece of crap for Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders - Pamela, Pamela.
@@conssuckballs That comment was by Wayne. Australia was the only country where it went #1. It's my second favourite by song Wayne after 24 Sycamore. Saw him appearing with Mike Pender, Dave Berry, Dave Blakely and Brian Poole in 2007. I went specifically to hear Wayne and he didn't disappoint. It was a great perfromance by all the artists.
Bought tickets to 10CC way in advance of the concert, a couple of years ago, in Australia. One day, I thought, the concert must be soon. I looked at the tickets on my frig. It had been on the night before.🤬 In Australia, we don't get the top bands very often. You can imagine my frustration🤣🤣🤣
@ashlie = Reading your story reminded me of 1980/1981 time (winter/spring) I'd bought TWO tickets (Me&Fiancee) to see "Tom Petty & Heartbreakers" It was the official "Damn The Torpedoes" London leg tour promoting the album Night it happened I was almost dying of influenza & was as miserable as F&&K In tears, my G/f, Fiancee & future wife comforted me - (No, NOT SEX !!) Singlehandedly it was THE only time that I ever missed a top London gig Gutted tho', as it was one of THE pivotal albums of my teenage years...
I had the holiday of a lifetime in australia in 2023 and me and my mate drove up to Gladstone from Sydney. And i played Creek Alley over and over. It will now always remind me of that great song
I loved 10cc back in the day. I saw them around the Bloody Tourist album. We also went to Jamaica and had a really good adventure. The reggae vibe has definitely been a big thing in music. Remember UB40? Some of this stuff that shifted into ska and all these other things that basically grew from the West Indies. Cool runnin.
first heard this about a year ago... on Yacht Rock Radio on my XM radio !!! LOVE this one !!! I thought this was Atlanta Rhythm Section forever !!! till I loaded it on my I tunes !!
I'm missing Eric Stewart.................. he's now almost completely blind, which makes me so sad... this song was MASSIVE in late 1978, reminds me of my Xmas holidays back then...
Stunned, saddened & very disappointed - You sure about the 'blind' thing ???? I heard he'd moved with his wife to rural France, but nothing about his eyesight I was a fan of 10cc circa 1972/'73 (Dean & I & Ruber Bullets, too) I also bought "Mandy/Fly" & "Deceptive Bends" ("Feel The Benefit" etc) I was also a huge fan of Andrew Gold before 'Wax' & their brief merger Did hear that Eric WAS involved in a nasty car-crash, earlier Is/was that a contributory factor & care to elaborate on the eyesight thing ?
Did you know it’s based on a true story? It was Justin Haywood of the Moody Blues who was ‘approached’ in the West Indies by someone who wanted his necklace
Wow I never knew that there was a live version of this song what this guy singing it I am impressed thank-you Ringo for your all-star band and sharing their talent from days gone past
Oh snap, I've been wanting a high quality version of this song ever since you joined the All Starrs. Much appreciation, Graham. Hopefully you can post I'm Not In Love and Things We Do For Love too.
Gouldman is in the top 10 most underrated songwriters of all time.
Writing smash hits at 19!

I don’t like this song I love it

Agreed it’s just got a great groove and feel to it
but you don't like cricket.
What a line up 🎉

I thought I recognised him!
@@mentality-monster .......
Colin Hay from Men at Work. on guitar.
@@d3m0ndancerMr. Gregg Rolie keybordist Santana
@@Jules55 And the early beginnings of Journey, their best years to many, obviously pre-Steve Perry.
Toto, 10cc and a Beatle, what a line up
And Colin Hay from Men At Work.
And Colin hay,I’ll second that👊
Not to mention Santana and Genesis representative, Greg Rolle
One of my favorite 10cc tunes, Ringo - much appreciated!
Gouldman was a phenomenally successful songwriter, the best Yardbirds songs were penned by him.
And the hollies, hermans hermits
Bus Stop-The Hollies. Brilliant song
I didnt know he was in the Yard birds.
@@rossfiuzi3202 He wasn't in the Yardbirds, but wrote some of their best songs. Flew under the radar.
@@eternallearner8185 thanks 😊
Best All-Starr Band line-up since 1998 (Frampton, Bruce, Brooker, Kirke).
This is nothing short of phenomenal. A radio station in Chicago played this song back in the day. Loved it then and it sounds even better now. Thank you so much Ringo and the band for keeping great music alive!!! I love it!!!

I still hear this played on WXRT out of Chicago on the audacity app ❤❤
I hated this song lol.

Evet, benim tarzım👌

This was the first single I owned, a present. The first single I bought with my own money was Heart of Glass, Blonde.
What a wonderful time for music the seventies were.
As a child I always heard " I don´t love Brigitta" in the refrain. One day I was surprised...
How could this not be a hit in America? That's insane , Fantastic song !
Last time I checked they don’t play cricket?
White radio stations in the USA wouldn't play "reggae" on their play lists. They assumed it was a black band playing. Graham's still out there touring in 2022. He doesn't have to, He loves it !
Americans are thick. That’s why
“Why does he say he loves crickets man?”
Just gonna say that🤣
How beautiful to hear a good singer unspoiled by post production in this day and age! Just as good as back in the day.
I think the post production is quite heavy in this one. Where is the second doubled lead vocal in the verses coming from?
@@magnusiversen820 I was talking about ruining the preformance with autotune in post production as happens too much these days. But there also is alot you can do with vocal effects these days to. The TC VoiceLive for example.
This is horrible....absolutely. Overkilling it with support 👎🤬👎
I actually felt that the vocalist was just ad-libbing over a pre-recorded vocal. Still a great song though.

You're right. He deserves the title.
I,ll see him with 10cc 7th of Novembre at Concertgebouw in Amsterdam 😉👌
@@miwnamoh You will love it. The band is fantastic. Also the new guys!
What a great concept Ringo put together! Love seeing these guys playing together!
Always loved 10cc, they were good musicians and had such cheeky lyrics. Bloody Tourists!
If you ever get a chance to see one of the allstar tours - do. It's a great show
Love Dreadlock holiday it had me strutting my funky stuff during the seventies LMAO.
I love everything Ringo does. He's my favourite Beatle and his songs recorded with them are also my favourites ❤
The great Graham Gouldman! And the great Colin Hay!
Lukather Lurking! The very BEST sideman Ringo could ever have! ❤ Gouldman wrote hundreds of great songs! Such Mancunian talent !😮😮😮
Wow, what a great version of one of my favourite songs.
Great song. Love 10CC. And the all star band is spot on.😊
Phantastic performance of Graham..........!!!! 10cc forever..... and ever!!!!!
I wish 10 cc would come back to the United States. They are one of my favorite bands of all-time
Nice to see GG still rocking the Ric.
I missed this tour, Graham is very underrated songwriter

He's not underrated. Massively rated in the musical community and has sold tons (like this song).

Dude...he's in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame! And deservedly so.
So cool that Greg Rolie is on keyboards ! Classic!!!
Thank you Tim! I was scrolling the comments looking for exactly this information!
Didn't know about Graham Gouldman from 10CC, as a bass player, I really enjoyed his playing, nice solid sound from his Richenbacher. Ringo puts some good All Star Bands together.
I think it‘s overdubbed. Look at his hands and compare it to the sound you hear. it doesn’t always fit…
@@michaelsemmler2903 Why do you think he was dubbed ? He used to be a basist all of his time in 10cc , I believe he's still capable to do the job.
@@michaelsemmler2903 Spot on mate. So are his vocals, if you watch carefully you can see that he's singing to a vocal track 👍
Watch carefully, and then you'll realize.
Nunca Pasará de moda este magnífico tema ... que por primera vez lo escuché por el año 1979
Great song! Should have been a hit in the States.
Still time, release it now. Maybe not ( gems like these no longer appreciated by the youth, guaranteed dancefloor nevertheless especially the dad dancers😅🕺🕺🕺👌
This man has a fantastic back catalogue of songs , back to the 60s !

Never heard this song before. I definitely love it
Check out the original it’s brilliant !!!!
Utter songwriting genius!

It was the official "Damn The Torpedoes" London leg tour promoting the album
Night it happened I was almost dying of influenza & was as miserable as F&&K

1978.best year ever for music.
Colin Hay on Guitar . He sure knew those reggae riff
All the way from Down Under..
Graham has written some great songs!
Graham writes great songs!

Superb bass! Not the easiest of tasks whilst singing.
Tonight, they was playing, in Gothenburg. Also with Toto! Two great bands!!!👍👍🎹🎸🎤🎸
Great Live Version
Truley an All Star band playing All Star songs! I love it.
Loved this song.1978 best year for music. Still very strong,controlled voice. Ringo going strong.

This is absolutely brilliant such a clever bit of storytelling by 10cc 👌🏾

Those songs were sung by Eric Stewart, not Graham Gouldman.
Haven't heard this in years..... and I still remember the words! Yay!
Vocals are live mixed with tape - you can hear his real voice with no processing at 2:15
THX - I was wondering who was putting in all those harmonies including the low one tracking through the pre-Chorus.
Great stuff Graham. Great song and voice 👍👍
One of my favorites from 10cc which had so many. This is when music was great
Graham please upload your other songs you did on this tour would love to hear those
Graham Gouldman should return to the All-Starr Band! He feels like a natural fit here!
Absolutely brilliant. Brilliant.
Man, what a show! I'd have loved to have been there with this line up!
What a great version 👍👍
Added to "Best Live Performances" playlist.
To Graham: I alone played It on my Reggae Show, This Is Reggae Music, in Santa Barbara, my audience went Mad for it. Well Played
One of the best songs about dealing with a loss ever.
Beautiful performance.
Hello Graham. I love your work. How dare you ! 🤓👍
I was watching Graham here and quite unexpectedly has an Austin Powers flashback. (Whom I love).
Great stuff that’s first live version of that song I’ve seen 10cc such a talented band
Look Through Any Window and Bus Stop were written by Gouldman for The Hollies
I love this song, loved it when it first came out & dunno how it wasn't way more played in the US
Love this one.
10cc was my first ever concert. ❤
Tight and accomplished. Great musicianship. (And a super song).
Amo ! Thank you RS Graham y todos ...
Better than most bands sound in a studio
Ringo...I'm blown away!
What a great performance
Graham's vocals and Colin Hays harmonising is just sublime !!!!
Don't like Jamaica, I love it, Dreadlock holiday..
Greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador western South America Graham
i love this song
This sounds brilliant
I truly began tuning pop music out in 1976, but there were some gems amidst the dross. This song/band was one of them. Nice treat!
all stars right enough - 80s music casualty me also recognised Greg Bisonette (DLR band), Steve Lukather (Toto) and Colin Hay (Men at Work)
Dude it is played here everyday
It was a bit in Canada! Best ever 10cc song!
Not seen this all star band Absolutely brilliant nice voice still Graham
I truly love it !!!
