I'm talking about
99:23
Dragon.
99:24
Yeah.
99:24
You know, I was thinking when we were doing the list for this, we should do a show just playing Dragon songs.
99:28
It should be one week.
99:30
You're right.
99:30
I mean, they kicked off in Auckland in 1972.

106:01
Why did you choose this particular song though?
96:12
Why did you choose this one to play today?
96:15
This is not only my favourite Vicar and Linda song, it's one of my favourite songs of all time.
96:19
Mark Seymour from Hunters and Collectors wrote it, When Will You Come to Your Senses.
96:23
It was on their debut solo record.
96:26
When I say solos, both of them were on there, but they'd left the Black Sorrows after five years.
96:30
Of course, that's where the legend was built, then they made some really wonderful solo records.
96:34
In fact, their latest record came out just a couple of weeks ago, but this is from their first record in 1994, When Will You Come to Your Senses.

9 MINS LATER

105:25
Them coming back together again to join this Red Hot Summer Tour.
97:32
Didn't she come out in a big shoe?
97:35
Well, I'll tell you a funny story there because the famous one I remember was Midnight Oil came out and did Beds of Burning.
97:42
And as they were in the tunnel to go on, they took off the clothes they were supposed to be wearing and they went on stage with all these spray paints on their overalls, the word sorry.
97:52
And it was obviously making a message for the world to see as an apology.
97:58
And Bob Hurst, the drummer, said to me, the problem was all the people at the back thought it said Sony.
102:11
I
102:11
was going to say, Australians love him.
102:13
And Boyzone sold 25 million records.
98:24
Who exactly were Railroad Gin? Because what period is it that we're talking about
98:28
here? This is such a great song.
98:30
This was Michael Price, your producer, suggested this song.
98:32
So glad he did.
98:34
So 1968, Railroad Gin get together in Queensland, Brisbane, and it's like a soul R&B band.
98:40
But things really lifted for them when Carol Lloyd joined the band in 1970.
98:45
So she passed away, sadly, in 2017.
100:19
Are there any famous fans among them?
100:38
Now, after that, he hooks up with the Little River Band and that sort of reignites his career, doesn't it?
100:45
Yeah, well, that's right.
100:46
I mean, obviously, big pop star in the 60s.
100:48
Yeah.
100:49
And then 70s, Raindrops was great.
100:51
But then, of course, as we've said so many times during the course of our show, pop stardom wanes, doesn't it? Yeah.
100:56
Then you're in favour, then you really are out of favour.

8 MINS LATER

108:28
It's his signature iconic track, Power Ballad.
