iconic Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Great doc' on last night, Chas and Dave's last orders, never knew what a history these two have, and what talented musicians! Few clips showing Dave Peacock playing a yamaha bb, seems the 69 fender p took a rest for few years in the early 80's? Should be on BBC Iplayer I guess if anyone interested?

philparker Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I watched it and was also surprised at their popularity and what they had achieved - playing at Knebworth in '79! Well worth watching, thoroughly enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) I was on a summer show with them two [Three - Mickey 'Take a back seat'] back in the 90's. Got quite friendly with them, and had a go on that P Bass a few times. Oh................and they taught my how to get pissed proper like. Dave is a very solid player. Great geezers and very charitable. Garry Edited October 27, 2012 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I saw them two weekends in a row at Knebworth in "79", to he honest I wasn't that into them. Punk was fresh and made them seem outdated then and I was more interested in like Led Zeppelin. Those were the days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4-string-thing Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Missed it last night but do remember seeing this, there is apparently some guy called Eric in the audience (probably getting tips from Albert Lee) [url="http://youtu.be/kGU63KqXuZk"]http://youtu.be/kGU63KqXuZk[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Chas's daughter Juliet was the keyboard player in one of my old bands about 20 years ago. She joined the band and we didnt know who her dad was until she said we could rehearse at her house. Her dad looked vaguely familiar. All her family were lovely people - really friendly. We used to rehearse at his cottage/barn in Essex and his wife would make us tea and toast at 1 in the morning. I remember sitting in the front room one night after a practice and noticing a bass propped up in the inglenook fireplace. Had a look and it was a really old precision that was all scorched and bowed - probably worth a few quid if he wasnt using it as a poker. The house was rammed with musical history. Chas and Dave used to kick us out of the barn and move in with a crate of cigars and brandy for a week when they were writing. They would emerge when a new album was written and we were allowed back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Just watched the docu and was very impressed. Amazing musicians. Tried to cover the Sideboard song when I was in school gor the end if year show but we pulled it cos it was too hard to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Loved it! And way cooler than Ritchie Blackmore could ever hope to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Also just watched it. I knew they had a solid musical background but I didn't realise it went back quite so far. Amused me to hear them explain that there was no money in the pub circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Absolutely gutted I missed this , I'm on tour in Europe so I can't even watch it on iPlayer. My all time favourite band, it's so unusual to hear English bands singing in their own accents and directly referencing their own culture. I've been singing Dave Peacocks praises for years what a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
