Whilst their appearance on the show playing 'Headfull of Steam' has long been available on YouTube, the second song that they performed ('Apology Accepted') has never been posted it seems... If I remember correctly the first showing of 'Whistle Test' during the week was shorter than the repeat that went out in the early hours of the morning at the weekend. So a few songs were cut, including this version of 'Apology Accepted'. The quality is not brilliant, but it is still nice to see. As the person behind the blog says "I loved the GoBetweens, in spite of Robert Forsters’ bizarre ‘Dallas’* fixation. This Whistle Test footage shows ‘em in fine form. There’s so much good stuff here – Robert Forster’s trousers! Robert Vickers playing with a thumbpick! Amanda Brown’s frock! Lindy Morrison’s drumming! Sometimes with a tambourine on the snare! Lindy Morrison! (Sorry, just having a small, mid-life crisis there). It’s bittersweet to see the late Grant Mclennan in action. What a loss he was to music." http://bigplansforeverybody.blogspot.fr/ 2011/02/go-betweens-whistle-test-1986.ht ml | ||

Thanks Andrew. Sound is a bit rough but that's a great pleasure to watch. "Apology Accepted" has always been one of my favorite McLennan tunes. |
