What a Great Band...Very Sad and so very Young...RIP Mark knowing your music is still listened too and admired to this day.

Such an amazing musician.

So so underated as a vocalist and performer

Bugger me! I've only just discovered Dragon and started to listen to their great music......only to learn of Marc's tragic passing 22 years ago. RIP mate and thanks for the music.

Ulimate pub band, yes. But when holidaying in a caravan park, literally next door to the pub, my mum and dad left my brother and i with our nana (also holidaying with us) as we were almost teens! We loved that night, albeit while listening from the caravan park.... Now, some 35 yrs later my dad speaks to me from beyond, everytime i hear his favourite song, his funeral song..... Rain.😢Thank you Marc Hunter, Thank you Dragon...... Thank you dadman!❤

Such a sad loss. Part of my teenage years. Taken too young. Always remembered. Rest in Peace Marc.

I was lucky enough to see Marc as a solo artist and twice with Dragon. Great, charismatic performer who delivered the music with humor and grace.

still remembering you..never forgotten

I ordered a cd not long ago brilliant music 🎵🎵🎵

Tears streaming down my face. LOVED Marc Hunter and Dragon. I went to the benefit gig in Bondi. It was brilliant but so emotional and sad. Love you Marc xxx

Still listening 2021. Saw them play at an Australian Made concert on the Sunshine Coast. I was so sad when he passed away.

thank you marc hunter for the music

I am watching this from my adopted home of NYC, USA, so *_thank you_* to whoever posted it.

Just kickin back the sarvo with some Dragon and thinkin back to the mighty 80s crusin round on my P's ..Bak in the day listening to the plethora of Aussie pub bands on the radio, seeing those same bands live for $10 for 3 top notch bands all round the Sydney and around the shire... not $300 for 1 shitty screaming bunch of flogs on stage... Where did hell did all the top Aussie musicians go.. Where did all the venues go?? Where the bloody hell did time go... Thanks Guys for the memories.

classic Aussie pub band .......from New Zealand

Thanks for the music Mark...still listening mate..as good as ever..

R.I.P Marc Hunter.

Great band, we all know the songs but they were a real Pub band, they loved the small crowds as well as the big ones. Marc passed away in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia. That area was so peaceful, calm & he would of loved sitting out on the back 'porch' of that hospital remembering his life, his family. The room were he passed was a private place. I'm sure his family were very grateful for that time with him. He left us a wonderful gift, his music....it didn't die with him & I thank him for that. ❤️🎵❤️

I was a regular on Bondi Road and Campbells Parade, Bondi Beach. Watched Dragon at Bondi Hotel

So sad, will miss you Marc. xx

Dragon was part of my childhood - just awesome.

What ever you do kids . Dont smoke !!

Love them!

44 is way too young....

What a great band Dragan were and what a sad end to Marc’s life. Looking back at this I’m reminded what a great music scene we had in this country. Sorry kids, there’s nothing like that now.

I will never forget Marc Hunter. He had so much more to give he was only beginning. He was Not just a ROCK star he was very versatile. I am still sad he is gone. but glad his suffering ended. See you in the hereafter Marc

a beautiful man, RIP Marc

He epitomised a period of great songwriting, polished live performance and he had all the hooks and swagger of one of the great front men of Aussie based bands in the 70s and 80s. My generation truly were spoiled for choice. I believe the Aussie music scene has been sick since the decline in the live music scene. We have lost the venues where music apprenticeships are earned, honed in live performance with eager crowds soaked up the emotion and feel of great live performance. Pokies, policing of drink driving and the inflation in prices and costs to run venues all stuffed the live performance industry. In a time with no web, bands looked into their own lives for creativity and their art in performance was unique to them aside from the inspirations of other artists. Radio and tv shapes the industry and shows like sounds unlimited and count down were so important to a healthy Aussie music scene.

😢

Such a tragic loss of life! Rest In Peace Marc!

I’m still crying 😢

rest in peace mark

😥😭

Brilliant

so cool,rip marc

life is about living...And he lived

MISS U MATE!!! NEVER HAVE SINGER LIKE U

What an absolute legend. We love you Marc. Youre a great.

Like Yule Brenner said - whatever you do.. don't smoke.

I worked with a kiwi guy who worked the Doors in Sydney. He told me Marc hunter would wear a fur coat and be smacked out of his head his minders guiding him to the stage.

After all those gigs and record sales .. his mates had to put on concerts to raise money for him.

R.I.P Mark.So sad and way too young.Our adopted sons.I'll never forget Dragon. What a band.

saw him in concert so great 44 wtf too young

I worked for the Classical/Educational Division of Alberts from 1976 -1979. My office was on the 5th floor and adjoined the recording studio where Dragon recorded 'April Sun in Cuba.' I was in my late teens. There was a Steinway grand in my office, brought from Boomerang, the Albert Family mansion. Whenever I had a moment free, I would play, even compose at it. One day, I was working on a piece and looked up to see a tall young man standing at my office door listening. He had coloured streaks in his hair and wore a long flowing scarf. I signalled for him to come in. He entered, and sat down on one of the blue leather chairs by the piano. I did not know who he was. He said the music I was working on reminded him of Ravel. We spoke about French classical music. He told me he was recording with his group in the studio, and promised to visit with me again. It was Marc Hunter. At the time, and mostly because my musical interests and work at Alberts centred around classical/educational publications, I had no idea who he was. Neither did he elaborate much on himself. We just spoke as if we were friends and true to his word, whenever he was at Alberts to record, he would always visit with me, and talk about music. I would play for him. If ever we passed in the corridor outside my office, he would bow to me with a flourish and swirl of his scarf. Marc was a gentleman through and through. At one time, I gave to him a small gold crucifix simply to thank him for the times he spent with me. He was a kind and caring soul. And so elegant in how he carried himself. A true stylist. After leaving Alberts in 1979, I never really saw him again. But my memory of him was such that when decades later he died, I cried. I will still shed a tear for him from time to time. He was a good good man! Someone I will never forget.

Pretty sad hearing this at the time, some people shine so bright but because they burn so bright they only last for a short time. I think he did a lot of living in his 44 years. Not the first and nor will he be the last sadly.

I use to buy Dragon album's in Cassette's , those where our young years .

he may not have had the greatest range - but didnt he have a lot of soul and character

Great footage , pity about the out of whack audio

Sorry it's taken me so long but I was listening the day it made news head line's and Marc passing away like that but l love all of he and his bands music more so since Marc's parsing every year off his parsing I'll take that one day on the day to sit down and listen to the song that gets me every time that's young years love you all and all ways thinking of you all

Met mark and his brother when i was a kid they were hanging out next door,who so happened to be one of the band (smokie) parents was a great night bbq singing tunes for us and my first time seeing a bong 😂 at that time they were recording an album with kids singing and wanted to record us parents said no never forgot them

if only marijuana was legal.

I can't watch this.
