That 70's thread

[LuvtheKangas]

Ummm, I really did search for Kenny Everett clips, inspired as I was by TOD's post. This one was always a favourite:

Two bands that remind me of each other-

The Hollies started around the same time as the Beatles, had a few hits with "The Air That I Breathe", "He Aint Heavy", "Bus Stop".

It's this song from 1972 that imo is perfect

Hollies - "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress"

Shocking Blue were less productive but wrote a classic pop song with similar guitar to Cool Woman...

Shocking Blue - "Venus" live on Dutch TV

Love the 70's style Pinball Machines.

Remember playing this game

[YOUTUBE]Ltx7tZd8w54[/YOUTUBE]

 

[The Teflon Dean]

Yeah, I played that one plenty of times.

Those KISS machines are supposedly worth a few quid these days.

The "Captain Fantastic" machine was also a ripper.

I frequented the local "wog bar" quite a bit in my early teens.

 

[sherrinorburley]

We had this deli where one of these and other's (Pinball Machines) were and everytime one of us got a free game the machine clunked and the owner used to give the winner a packet of chewie's or whatever sweet of choice. Kept us out of trouble. Good times between playing footy etc..

Also reminds me of our local Mr.Whippy Ice Cream Van with the vendor placing a treat in the bottom of our cones. Used to love hearing that crappy tune down the street knowing we'd score an ice cream.

 

[The Other Dean]

The Kiss pinny rules. (Ok.)

Bally did some very fine work in the 70's.

Here's a few of my faves.....

Playboy

Six Million Dollar Man

Mata Hari

Evel Knievel

Power Play

And this gem.....

Harlem Globetrotters

 

[The Other Dean]

And then in the late 70's, the Rye mini-golf got this pinball machine in.

I was agog.

 

[The Other Dean]

Still my favourite video game of all time.

The mighty Moon Cresta.

Dont know if it was this one in particular, remember playing something like it....and seeing the Trotter's Live a couple times.

Cousin of Galaxion?(my favourite) Think Namco 79, not sure.

 

[The Teflon Dean]

I have played every single pinny that TOD mentioned.

As for "video games", I was a huge fan of "Defender."

Anyone remember the "money machines", or "baseball machines" that cost 10 cents a game where you used to have to try and line up 3 to 5 balls to win credits?

Sure do. I call 'em "money machines". A good mate has one in perfect working order. Play it all the time.

P.S. Defender rocked.

Some things haven't changed much.

The quality of Australian television drama, for example:

Number 96 (The Panty Hose Strangler)

Number 96 (The Knicker Snipper)

You lads must have a few years on me, I have many high scores around the Launceston area on '1942'.

Anyway, when the 70's is mentioned, I automatically think of these-

(1969, I know...)

Abigail was a guest at the local bottle shop sometime in the mid-seventies, signed a few autographs and spoke her sexy speak.

Was a bit young and not allowed to watch at the time (a tad racy then). Didn't really care, the ad's for the show with Abigail in lingerie talkin it up were better than the episode's

Very cool game was 1942.....

Apart from the big ones (Space Invaders, Donkey Kong/Crazy Kong, Pacman, Asteroids, etc) here's some of the other arcade games I gave a hammering as a kid.....

Phoenix (a very tough game to master)......

Qix (awesome game)......

Ladybug (kind of Pacman-y)......

Moon Patrol (not to be confused with Moon Cresta)......

And an excellent game called Paint Roller....

Moon Cresta ? 1980. Nichibutsu.

Dig this.....

Freakin' awesome.

Only barely made the 70's in '79 but Airplay was a great session project collaborated between two great session players in Jay Graydon and David Foster. Again won't be everyone's "bag", but for serious muso's and songwriters looking to expand their knowledge the make up of the material was/is a must. This clip was done live and much later obviously but it still highlights to the aforementioned the strings to the bow that are required if one was to attempt to forge out a career in the field (or I could've just said get their arses into songwriting, arranging and do some aural training) Anyway I'll STFU.
