Skyhooks never did things halfway, and neither did mid-'70s TV. This 1976 performance of Horror Movie is all high-voltage theatrics – a chequerboard stage, eerie neon lighting and costumes that demand attention. The mix of bold visuals and split-screen effects turns the whole thing into a fever dream of glam rock and TV spectacle. If early colour television had any limits, Skyhooks made sure they weren’t visible here.
This clip is an excerpt from Skyhooks last concert before going overseas, recorded for television at The Palais, St Kilda, Melbourne. The songs performed in this clip is 'Horror Movie'. The concert screened on the 0-10 Network in April 1976.
