- Now here's a lost performance of the most famous hit from Grahams solo career.
This top of the pops performance was a part of a promotion for his famous "Line Up" album from 1981. The musicians on that album were all from DP family,
including Jon Lord, Micky Moody, Ray Fenwick & Cozy Powell.
But on this video we can only see Cozy on the drum kit and other unknown (maybe session) musicians.....
Cheerssss.....

Cozy Powell is at his best. What a drummer! True legend!
One of the greatest and most underrated rock singers ever.
The man is awesome.
Voice to die for❤
underrated,i followed him,from the marbles to hi disco,and hard rock,to us he was never underrated,tho joining rainbow,was a ?mark,following another great singer,but the album he recorded with rainbow was good,not great
Love his voice. Graham has the pipes!
Such a great song what a great voice Graham has.Cozy Powell RIP
GRAHAM BONNET. ONE OF THE BEST VOCALISTS OF MY LIFETIME. GREAT SONG TOO. BRILLIANT VID! THANKS FOR STICKING IT ON MATE.
Absolutely Brilliant Group ❤❤❤
Graham Bonnet... Legend!!!
54 now, but still love this one …memories of biking mates lost, but still riding on that great highway in the sky….
Loved Graham and Cozy for their early rainbow songs but this is such a great and underated song ..hoping history acknowledge Bonnets contribution to rock !!
Steve Akhurst
I hope so.He had a bit of a dry period , but now he toures like crazy with Graham Bonnet Band.
For sure. He turned into a screaming metalhead before I even knew what metal was. My mother still has no idea where it came from and what happened to her daughter...
I tell her she shouldn't've shagged the postman >:-)
Fucksake. S/b Turned ME into..."
Putting all the words in the sentence really help with comprehension, Blob.
One of my fave songs from 1981. Brilliant! Love Graham's voice on this song.
THIS BRINGS BACK LOTS OF HAPPY MEMORIES OF 1981 WHEN THE MUSIC WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS FROM THE 80'S
really
I forgot this till I heard it on Absolute 80's I bloomin LOVE this song!!! and yes good times wish was still like that now :-(
+Old Blackie yes really
Love it
A great singer. He had everything, a powerful voice, charisma, a good looking and unique fashion style in heavy metal. In my opinion what he always needed was THE BAND. Although his time in Alcatrazz, his career was like a freelance singer who work for many bands. He was in a band and next year he was in another band. On the other hand he can say that he recorded with much of the greatest musicians of 70's and 80's rock: like Ritchie Blackmore, Micky Moody, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Chris Impellitteri, Bruce Kulick, Vivian Campbell, Slash, Jon Lord, Cozy Powell and many others.
awesome track...graham did the bollocks with alcatraz too..and R.I.P. to one of the best british rock drummers ever...COZY POWELL......
I friggin love this song!! Awesome LIVE performance of TotP!!
According to the liner notes of the booklet of the Line Up CD this track had Cozy Powell on drums, Micky Moody on Acoustic & Electric guitar, Gary Twigg on Bass, Andy Bown on Organ & Piano and Francis Rossi on Coral Sitar: S.H.7 Syntheziser.
Graham Bonnet is one of the greatest singers and performers that ever fronted a rock band
Best time ever for music. This is a classic.
rip cozy , we still miss you.
Graham always looks like he's pushing his singing out so hard. I love this song
Defined Graham Bonnet is one of my favorite vocalists.
Not just by your voice and visual, that are unique, but because he is an excellent
songwriter.
His vocal lines are great, and unique.
Here is the proof.
Was so in love with this bloke when I was a teen,A long long loooooong time ago.
Takes me back to 81 great time s
Has it really taken me this long to find this song again
Watched it on top of the tops about 5-6 years ago on bbc four with my dad and I loved this and I started listening to so many other songs I forgot this song existed It just came up in my recommenced now thanks RUclips!
LOVE IT!!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG IS GREAT.
I saw this new. I loved him instantly I think we all did. I loved TOTP too there's nothing like it anymore. No one has ever been quite so real as Graham was. Thanks for sharing this mate.
That was Top of the Pops (and many other shows of that era, like American Bandstand, Soul Train, etc) for ya.
i got the album when it came out. Always liked this tune.
amazing vocalist, brill song to. one of rocks best vocalists..
Bloody hell not heard this song for decades feel so old now lol
いつ観ても格好いいな
Sad at my father was not oriented to listen this kind of music, even he was about thirty years old in those days.
One skill that Graham Bonnet and Cozy Powell don't have is miming on TOTP! This was obviously of the era when they were not allowed to perform live.
Graham Bonnet is a great singer. Why do people complain about the obvious miming? At Top Of The Pops, all the artists pantomime to their tracks,.... Depeche Mode, Jimmy Nail, you name 'em,.... they all were made to lip synch on TOTP. They didn't have live acts on that TV show at that time. Yngwie really added lots of flavor to this song for sure, but I really like this version as well. :)
Rare bit of footage! I was so pleased when they released Line Up on CD I'd worn out the Vinyl, need a new Cd version now too!
Сильный солист👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥
я просто обалдел! сколько лет живу, слушаю музыку и не знал этого певца! супер!
Unfortunately I missed this back in the early 80s, being about 5 at the time I was always in bed by 7 (before TOTP) due to school next day.
True. I used to love top of the pops in the late 70's/80's, everybody knew the artists were miming but nobody cared
More excellent digging from your good self Igor. I've got this song on one of those cheapo "Rock N Roll Years -1981" cd compilations. Good, strong vocal performance from Mr Bonnet on this track and the song rocks along nicely. Cheers for posting.
See the man in the busy street
He's almost incomplete
He takes his pleasure in strange ways
And the lady in the library
She's just like you and me
You wouldn't know her at all.
She takes a train up to the great big city
She knocks a door and steps right in
He's just a fool that some would like to pity
They work to out in the house of sin.
Night games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers, they don't use names
It says in the rules
It's strictly for cools to play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
Games of the night
Every room is a different scene
Every one has a different dream
They make it anyway they choose
You can get anything you need
Anyone if the price's agreed
And nothing left for you to lose
It's entertainment for the lost and lonely
And cabaret for those who dare
The last attainment of the one and only
It's got to be to get you there.
Night games

Anthem-tastic!
This is just before he did the album with Michael Schenker, who had Cozy Powell on drums at this time. Although he left before the album with Bonnet.
я просто обалдел! сколько лет живу, слушаю музыку и не знал этого певца! супер!
пел в Rainbow, но недолго
カッコいい‼️
I WOULD LOVE TO LISTEND THIS AT MY WEDDING SOME DAY
agree 100 with Joe N awesome voice. Born to be a rock singer
briliant
Alls Monsters!!! 👏👏👏👏
Got the 45
Blackmore was a fool to let Bonnet get away from him!
How can a man on a busy street be almost incomplete?!?
*****"See the man on the busy street he's got a false arm" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
I believe it means he has only got one .........Mind you, when this was released in 1981 I didn't really understand it initially either although that didn't stop me buying the record. Lyrically I think "he's only half complete" may also have worked. I believe the point of the song is you can never tell just by looking at people what dark secrets (anatomical or otherwise) may be hidden by their exterior persona. Perhaps if Graham Bonnet is ever perusing RUclips comments such as these he may be kind enough to give a definite answer.
Graham Bonnet super
Great album 'line up'
i've been trying to look for the guitar tab to this awesome song
Cozy Powell on drums, Gary Twigg on bass ( who were both on Bonnet's solo album) dont recognise the other two though?
Listening to DIFFICULT TO CURE you can tell that Bonnet was one og the top 10 singesr worldwide. I wonder what went wrong with him, he got lost after that album...
astel graaf Down to Earth was the Bonnets album.
Joe Lynn Turner was the vocalist of Difficult to Cure album.
He was not the vocalist on that album.
Wasn't he in the duo the marbles?
Brilliance surprised he isn't more popular
Эти звуки в крови моей...
Classickg❤
SOS should have been the next single. I think Bonnett himself said the record company chose the wrong single after Night Games.
All the comments that slag him off for lip syncing remember they don`t have a choice on Top of the Pops they have to
Ex lead singer of rainbow their best frontman
Check out Only One Woman by The Marbles. Bonnet serves up another incredible vocal performance .
Looked like cozy on drums but couldn't tell fo sho!
Jman
You're absolutely right, it was Cozy on the drums
Oh ok,I forgot cozy played on the bonnet solo album which by 1981 cozy was part of MSG
on near it!
Jman
If it is Cozy Powell he's not using his own drum kit. Cozy used twin bass drums with his name on them and this is only a single bass drum.
Sounds a little bit like Abba. But what a great voice Bonnet always had, check out his performance at the Monsters of Rock, Donnington 1980
Tommy Vance loved this track. And that speaks volumes. (If you're asking "Who's Tommy Vance?".....errrm, better move on I think.)
日本では西条秀樹‼️
ハイトーン＋ノンビブラート痺れるぜ！！
日本語に出逢えて嬉しいぜ。！！(T_T)
西洋ヤクザ😎👍レインボウ、MSG.声のパワーがすごいね👍
Check out the new (2020) 6 disc box-set of his early albums (all re-mastered) from Cherry Red records ! Includes the Line Up album .
Got it, it's a great collection
@MrRossi48
Really ? That's new one for me, thanks
I've been looking for this one on Karaoke track download sites for years, but no sites I know have it.
やっぱオリジナルが一番良い❗
@uke1964
Well if by THEY you mean Bonnet with Moddy, Cozy Powell & Jon Lord. Then they released and album called Line Up from 1981
I want to sing this on Karaoke but it's not on either of the sites I use.
I Like this more than Rainbow with Bonnet(still my favourite band).
I could be wrong, but I think I've seen some old Judas Priest TOTP that were non-lip-sync (live), in which Halford's full vocal prowess was on resplendent display. (e.g. 1979 "Take on the World"). To be sure the band was "canned", but Halford appears to be singing "live".
Nobody sung live
Bonnet is best rocker singer
Stone Cold and Street of Dreams are my favorite songs from the Turner era of Rainbow but I do agree with you, he did suck as a singer.
1. Ronnie James Dio
2. Graham Bonnet
3. Joe Lynn Turner
Those are my favorite singers in Rainbow in that order.
@Zukatsr125
I absolutely agree. All those "guitar hero" type of guitarist from the 80's like malmmsteen, satriani, steve vai, paul gilbert... and so on are so much overrated.
They're technically very good, but neither of them have a bit of emotions like for example Gallagher had, or Gary Moore or already mentioned Micky Moody (especially when he's teamed up with Bernie Marsden)
Holy crap is that Kyle Reese singing lead, get the hell out of there before the terminator finds you!
hee hee
@1970GWB
I'm afraid he doesn't look good nowadays... I'm not sure but looks that he is seriously ill..
And he still goes on touring.... That's bravery for me
@Gillanfan89 cheers
@Gillanfan89 yes your right, its not that hard to play fast, but to create a really nice song is a totally diffrent thing to do.. But, you will brake my heart in 2 peaces if you say that Buckethead is overrated :P lol ..
Sounds just like the studio version
Isaac Guillory on guitar in this video.
@uke1964
No problem
they maid a album what was it called .who can tell me
時代を感じますね。

@1sussexmatt
Francis Rossi produced this song and he also played coral sitar on the track
Difficult song. Try singing this and not sounding like a dork!
@Zukatsr125
I've listened to him, to be honest he isn't so overrated (like satriani is) but his sound is experimental, not so close to my taste, but i've always had respect towards him (expect the mistake that he made by playing in the band "Axl Rose and Little Thorns" so called new G'n'R which i can't digest at all !
@1sussexmatt
No no Micky Moody played lead guitar. And some other guitar parts were played by Ray Fenwick
Привык слушать эту композицию с Лордом на клавишах и Муди с гитарой
@1970GWB yes he is very good.....but he didn't write this one.
It was written by Ed Hamilton.... great song :-)
Hey Cozy Powell fans, I'm currently working on a documentary on the life and work of Cozy called 'Dance With The Devil: The Cozy Powell Story'. For more information please go to my RUclips page, watch the teaser trailer, check out our links and spread the good word. Thanks!
Sounds like a song that was written for kiss
Looks like Micky Moody couldn't make the gig
1:27 Joe Walsh?
1171karl Definetly not
@sin1987runescape
