Joey and Tommy ! Shredding pure rock and roll RIP Tommy

My old guitarist, Nick Lohri from NYC area, was hired as Pete Hamm’s original replacement. But then one of the member’s mom died and they scrapped the reunion, circa 1978. Nick would have been a perfect replacement…sang and wrote like Pete, played guitar, slide, keyboards and looked the part.

Always loved Joey Mullond on guitar and the way he always looked at the camera.

This is rock n roll. Period!

Tom and Joey are kicking it out of the park. Should have been a hit. Sadly Pete left us a bit before this and Mr Evens shortly after, with a manager from hell who did nothing but MISMANAGE them dancing away with all the money!

Like how Joey always mugs for the camera

The band is obviously lipping, even though you can see the song is totally in their muscle memory, and they're all playing their instruments as if they were miked and live. The 1970s to the early 80s was a strange time for TV. There were so many variety shows which had musical guests (Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas, Carol Burnett, Soul Train, American Bandstand, etc.), but the bands ALWAYS LIP SYNCED. This performance is no exception. Pretty much the only place you could see live music on TV in the 70s was on a show called The Midnight Special. The guy that produced and ran that show just started posting clips from it on youtube.

Don't get any sweeter, this will get your butt on the dance floor FoSho! ;-)

It's really a shame how that rotten manager ruined what could've, should've & would've been. I loved Badfinger. When I got old enough to start buying records and albums, I couldn't find none of their material. Till this fella told me their story! I was 17 in 1979 when I found out. I remember hearing their music when I was 7 or so.

Badfinger were excellent another great band that didn’t get the recognition they deserved beside the two major hits that we played on the radio Day after Day and Come and get it there other great songs weren’t played on the radio much like Baby Blue

@@RainbowCharade When Joey and Tom split the original Badfinger up in 1981, both started their own version of the band. In 1982, Tom recruited original drummer Mike Gibbons and Bob Jackson (who had temporarily replaced Pete Ham). In the summer of 1982 Tom had signed contracts with a promoter in Milwaukee that were just as bad as the contracts Badfinger had signed with Stan Polley. The band was housed in an unfurnished model home and told to rehearse. The only gigs they could get were a few bars and some Elks lodge type venues, including the infamous appearance on the late night shock horror tv show. The band quit and returned to England. Joey Molland had also had Tom Evans blacklisted by the musicians union in America, preventing Tom from touring as Badfinger in the US. Then in 1983 the Milwaukee promoter sued Tom for 5 million dollars for breach of contract. Then Joey Molland sued Tom for back royalties from the original Badfinger albums. The stress from these lawsuits caused Tom Evans to commit suicide in November 1983.
