rct Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Great band caught in a really bad contractual deal. Two of the original members ended up suicides I think I recall. Maybe one original and a new guy. Sad story. We do No Matter What every night we are out. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Bad Finger were a great band.....regularly covered today by our local bands... Also hugely respected by The Beatles.... George Harrison used them on his album 'All Things Must Pass' and as his backing band for the Concert for Bangladesh........... Paul McCartney wrote 'Come and Get it' for them.....used in the Peter Sellers film 'The Magic Christian'.... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentar Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 they were my favorite band in high school. I was still buying their T-shirt in 77 when I found out that Ham had been dead two years and I never heard about it. Prior to internet it was harder to keep up with news of British bands particularly with school, homework. sports, work and stuff. It was a stunner. I thought it felt like a dirty trick or being robbed or fooled. I was waiting on a new album that never showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Always liked this one (in addition to the three songs that everyone knows). In fact somewhere I have a rip of a firends box set that has all the albums and there are very few weak songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C53QAuOoSgc Liked it in Breaking Bad too...

american cheez Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 it's pretty uncommon for that sort of thing to happen in rock and roll. usually those rockers are treated very fairly and are managed by caring, selfless people. i'm suprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starpeve Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 'Baby Blue' is just one of those songs, isn't it? Tugs at the emotions somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I never knew the whole story here, actually not even half of it.. This is well worth the watching. thanks for posting Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I always liked Badfinger. read about it all years back. Pete Ham was 1st to go, Tom Evans gave up 10 years or so later. i didn't watch the video. so I'm not sure if there was any new info . I know they were pretty much financially raped by bad contracts and poor management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
