My introduction to John and Wild Willie was them playing Really Free on the Old Grey Whistle Test when John nearly killed himself by trying to jump on the speakers and went flying. Pure chaos. I was an instant fan 😂😂
A true independent spirit. Who knows what might have happened with a skilled band, a good producer, a manager with vision and aggressive marketing ? It didn't/couldn't/shouldn't have happened, but we have what we have and we'll never know.
I, along with some friends, saw John in Belfast some years after this, and , despite the interruption of a bombscare he went on to play an absolute Stormer.
OMG,….is this your Channel John? You are an oddball hero of mine; I married the drummer in an all girl punk band and she turned me on to your stuff many moons ago. Delighted to have found this on youtube!!! headbutts!!!

They were just joyous, and still make me smile and feel good today.
I have always loved Otway and Barrett, right from the start.

That sure brought a smile to my face.

I didn't know there was any record of him before his first hit. This is around the time of his 21st birthday. Incredible.
Wild Willy was so busy here.
Absolutely fantastic
Absolutely loved it!
What can you say brilliant
Mount'n🙂 love it.
Bring back the long haired groups. Get that 1972 vibes again

Wow this is AMAZING!
Been interested to see the full video since I saw a clip of it in the documentary. Great that it's finally uploaded.
Great stuff. He sounds a bit like Jagger on Misty Mountain. But has a Ray Davies look about him . Maybe he's their secret Love child ? lol
Oh yes gimme some!
