Digging Their Hooks In

Brent Evans | Rockhampton, Australia | 06/22/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an live document of the "GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INSANE" tour in 1978.Skyhooks were in blistering form with their new guitarist Bob Spencer leading them into a heavy golden future. Unfortunately,their vocalist Graeme "Shirley" Strachan left after this tour,thus ending the golden era for Skyhooks.However,LIVE!BE IN IT(a parody of an Australian Health catchphrase,LIFE!BE IN IT)shows what a hard,tight band Skyhooks was. Not only did they play past hits(ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GETTING MARRD,WOMEN IN UNIFORM,SMARTARSE SONGWRITERS,MERCEDES LADIES),but previewed new tracks(SITTING AT A BAR IN ADELAIDE,BONDAGE ON THE BOULEVARD)and performed first rate covers(WILD IN THE STREETS,BROWN SUGAR).LIVE!BE IN IT also proved that the Skyhooks were able to spoof themselves (SEX IS NOT A DIRTY WORD,THE BRUCE SUITE,and THE KABOODLESCHNITZER KOMMERCIALS).The 1978 hard rocking version of Skyhooks was a major live act. LIVE!BE IN IT explains why."

"I grew up with Skyhooks, they were one of the Australian greats of the 70's. I loved them then and still do now. Their music is fun and entertaining. I would recomend them to anyone"
