Dear lord this is good...I am getting educated tonight...I hate to admit it but I have never heard of this before Jim....but damn man I like it.  This guy had style eh.....It feels like something right up my alley.  Way ahead of his time...what year was that first vid, that is killing me.  So unique, so musical, so flipping good.  Rock opera at its best....

what year was that first vid

1973

That first vid is awesome , mad Jock rules

First vid sounds like a cover of the Belgian singer Jacques Brel "Au suivant" (au suivant means next)

it is a cover of the late great jacques brel. the alex harvey version introduced me to jacques brel and he is one of my favourite artists
 here is one of my faves of his, folk may be familiar with the english version "if you go away" by dusty springfield.

I think Kiss rules, but they totally robbed Zal Cleminson (A very cool and great guitarist!)
