Re: bands that dont stick with the usual instruments

easybeat, I remember going to see Splizt Enz Live years ago at the Founders Theatre in Hamilton, back then their costumes were amazing along with their musical talent. 

Peatle, whilst I hadn't seen that version of that song, I know the song.   I remember the very first time I heard the song, I thought they were saying another word that starts with the letter F instead of 'fox'.  Took me a little while to work it out that they were singing 'Fox' back then.

Re: bands that dont stick with the usual instruments

Hi Jan,  my 102-year-old mother had a habit of saying for fish sake when I think she means for Fox sake. But now her mind is going and even though she s  a good Christian lady the other word has crept into her vocabulary.    The first time I heard and saw Split Enz was at the great Ngaruawahia Music Festival it was the first large outdoor music festival in New Zealand. It was held on a farm at Ngāruawāhia on the Waikato River, 19 kilometres north-west of Hamilton, for three days from 6 to 8 January 1973. Easy Beat was part of the group that I went up to the music festival with. Anyway I thought they were great but unfortunately they didn’t go down well with the crowd and were boo of the stage and   they had missiles thrown at them by thugs in the crowd dangerous objects like beer bottles. . They also got a bad write up in the press.  The band which I didn’t enjoy at that festival that got a good write up in the press and the crowd loved them was Black Sabbath   A few years later Split Enz  became very popular and there were plenty who wanted to see and hear them. Back then their stage costumes and stage show was ahead of its time. Ngaruuawahia was also my  first introduction to  a band I loved called  Fairport Convention.  Fairport do a song called Rosie it is a song that is one of my all time favorite songs.
