    That would be the Sunbury Aztecs Dobbo. I couldn't believe it , he was my rock hero, and a genuinely good bloke. Who could forget the performance in 1972 at Sunbury. I still get a kick out of playing that double album.

    Yeah thats what I meant

    For me a few drinks around a campfire isn't complete without Billy screaming from the CD player, I would have loved to have seen him in the height of his career.
