Bill Nelson is on a level that only a few musicians ever stand. Charlie Tumahai's bass playing is excellent on this live version of sister seagull. What a fantastic band they were.

I was fortunate enough to meet Charlie in 1989 in Queenstown at a club named The Dolphin Club. He was in a New Zealand band The Herbs and Joe Walsh was touring with them. He was also a fantastic vocalist. Interesting enough he told me about Be bop Deluxe and his introduction to Paul McCartney while in England. The Herbs drummer got up and had a jam with us for almost a whole set. Great times.

Very very true ... ask ten people here in the US “who is Bill Nelson?“ and you’ll get back ten blank stares ... it’s criminal their success here was under the radar ... wish I had seen them live in the day 🙏🏼🎸

Nelson and his F-hole Gibson, red I do believe.. Only Beck and Townshend managed to get my hair to rise on the kneck instantly til Bill came along - liked his humour, his sonic energy and his chops. When he plays I listen, always got tremendous musicians around him, so glad he's working and making the Yorkshire Puddin' rise again. Chop on.

Sister seagull, oh you're flying me too high Feels so dizzy underneath your open skies And it's strange the games we play to hide the crime Sister seagull you're the reason I survive I am a prisoner who has thrown away the key My soul has vanished with the bird who flies so free And the wings of change have spread themselves o'er me Sister seagull you're the reason I survive I am waiting here for the tide to turn And the pathways of the air to open Will you meet me there By the golden stairways to the clouds To the clouds I am a changeling Like the wind across the waves Though in the end there will be nothing left to save I will return one day With all the love you gave Sister seagull you're the reason I survive I survive I survive
