Description:

[ERA : 60s / Psych, Prog ] Tully became a draw card for their willingness to experiment with improvisation, light shows, non-western musical influences and re-interpretations of jazz, folk and classical motifs.The band formed in 1968 from the remnants of an R&B covers band, wider recognition came soon though, only a year later they were the house band for the new counter-culture musical 'Hair'. This first incarnation of Tully were wild, expansive and unpredictable. The band employed extended improvisation, spacious dynamics and an intuitive intensity. Chapter Music presents two rare live recordings, including their 1970 performance of Australia’s first ever rock opera. Peter Sculthorpe wrote the first of the two tracks here, 'Love 200', specifically with Tully and vocalist Jeannie Lewis in mind. The work was based around the theme of the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook’s landing in Australia, to observe the transit of the planet Venus. 'Sights & Sounds Of 69' captures Tully in full improvisational flight at the Sydney Town Hall. Over its 32 minutes, a multitude of ideas are pitched back and forth between musicians Terry Wilson (vocals), Michael Carlos (organ), Robert Taylor (drums), Ken Firth (bass) and Richard Lockwood (reeds). / Love 200 * Sights & Sounds of 69
