My favourite Icehouse song. Just wonderful.

we're now at episode 16 and i can honestly say i've loved every one! thanks Guy!

As an Aussie who grew up with Icehouse in the 80s I remember when this song came out I thought the bass was amazing. Now I'm watching the guy (Guy) who recorded it playing it on the bass he used to record it! Unbelievable. Thanks for putting this up.

Hey Guy, I love to hear Street cafe. Would you please do a episode about the song? All the best for you! 😊 12:50

Now I understand why you are so animated on stage.....you are just so full of energy! Hearing you speak is the same as you walking about on stage while you play....I LOVE watching (and listening of course) you play!

I was reading Guy's book and he mentioned the music video for this one...now it's my favorite Icehouse song. I feel like the bass fills were ahead of their time.

We can't forget the wonderful Joe Camilleri playing his pink Selmer (Paris) Mark VI tenor sax...

Even though I like Pastorius and love jazz, it was Mick who got me into getting a fretless. It worked so well within the music of Japan.

I come for Icehouse.

One of the best songs from Sidewalk LP in 1984 been waiting for this thanks Guy.

I am an Australian Icehouse fan and have been since I was about 17/18. Have been lucky enough to see them live and this song is a favourite. An iconic Aussie band!!

Thanks for all your videos Guy; loving the Scorsese quotes, the mad ramblings and for introducing me to Icehouse - such great songs, and now my five-year-old daughter's favourite band!

I came here for Pink Floyd. But here I am, watched every episode and waiting for more...

It's the greatest break-up song ever.

Brilliant, thank you 👍👍👍 Melbourne, Australia

Dude, I frickin love Icehouse. You have worked with so many damn good groups.

Love the Icehouse tracks! More please!!

I'm reading your book right now. I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud reading a book. Who knew that sweet baby-faced boy was actually quite a "wild-child"! I'll be re-watching videos with you in them, knowing what you were up to during that time period! Thanks! 🥰

Flowers are an awesome Aussie band saw them a few times in the 80's....

I discovered Toy Matinee in my quest to fathom PF bass licks. Very glad I did - thanks!!

Brings me right back at my teenage bedroom and my fretless with only dots on the side, learning this song. Love the simple notes wich are spot on! And a Chorus on the fretless is so iconic 80's !!! Keep on going Guy!

Not having to commute, quarantinis and lockdown licks were three of my favourite things about covid.

Thanks so much Guy for this performance. Hearing you play this again made my day, week, month and year. I bought the album this song was on in 80s and have loved it since. The moodiness of the fretless part really contributes so much to the song. The OZ music scene back in the 80s was really alive, pubs everywhere with great bands. Great days.

This was interesting to watch, Icehouse' best bass player in my mind. Love the Pink Floyd stuff too.

This needs to be used in a movie, stat!

Love, the Saxophone in that track!

Guy, I hve to say a big thankyou. I actually pestered you to play this & didn't think you actually would. You hve made this Aussie very happy. Absolutely awesome. I'll leave you alone now! Stay safe. 👏👍🇦🇺

Wonderful as ever Guy. I believe Tony Franklin plays fretless precision. Stay safe.

I love this song and the whole Sidewalk album, in no small part because it's full of absolutely killer bassline.

Hello Guy Pratt. I'm in Brazil and I love your work as a bass player. It is very important for me to follow you here on KZfaq. Thank you.

I had the pleasure and honor of meeting you in Rome in 2012. I am a bass player too and you are a point of reference for me.

Thanks for being so accessible, Guy. It's a credit to you. 👍

Brilliant Guy. This took me back to a great place as a Sydney based drummer for the last 45 years. Thanks.

I don't care what the song is really, it's your approach and the story. Really cool to see a pro I have seen on stage a few times, break things down. Before this series, did not know you were that versatile in genres, just knew you were a beast. Thanks for the last few months. Cheers! In Los Angeles, we say "Thanks brother, love it"

Congrats on Live at the Roundhouse. You guys killed it in everyway. I have watched it over and over.

And I think this song is often requested guy because your fill lines in this song are just so goddamn tasty! Thank you from down under!

Great song by a great Aussie band with a great bass line again from the pom. Cheers

Brilliant. I’m just here for the banter. But I have an 80s Japanese bass I ripped the frets from and filled with Polyfilla! And a CEB2 chorus. Both are in my loft. Hey ho. Great sound. Thanks. Might find me in the loft tomorrow.

Good job Guy, Love Icehouse! And a great demonstration of the different abilities of a fretless over a fretted

Nice how the flying hearts at the end are almost the same color as Betsy. Keep waffling, I love to hear you tell stories. They are great!

Damn, this is a good song.

Saw Icehouse live two weeks ago. This song still sounds sublimely rich and hauntingly beautiful.

great song! great playing! just great!!

Was going on a motorbike ride today, sod it, now thanks to this clip I'm of to my music room to stay safe by drinking and playing bass all day. You're an inspiration Guy what can I sau !

Just watched Guy on Spicks and Specks 2008 again! Love it!, 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve liked the Floyd work but this & Toy Matinee we’re highly influential to my musical journey. Recently been listening to Mick Karn & just bought myself a fretless .. this is the icing ❣️.

What an incredible song...I can't believe this is the first time I've ever heard it...thank you for introducing me!

Hey, I am one of those who came for the floyd but walk out the door with all your other work. So keep it up and yes its wonderful to hear and see all the tracks you worked on that I wasnt aware of. So keep it up.

Hokey? Pomp? Well, yes, a bit. But I for one still love that sound, chorus and all, at least from time to time. So thank you, Guy, for playing it!

Fantastic atmospheric track. Just right for chilling in candlelight with a Sambuca alight with coffee beans at the end of a working week. Many thanks for the chill out

I have you and Mr Sklar as a joyous, reflective... informative... inspiring threads through this covid lockdown gigless void. Love it. I play drums... mainly because I was dissuaded from bass many years ago... I have an itchy PayPal finger tho. That said, my kids have, out of nowhere started to play the beat up guitars I have knocking around and requested birthday improvements. So the bass world is safe for another brief while 😉 I just wanted you to know these posts of yours bring happiness ✌👊

Fantastic!! I am a big Icehouse fan starting way back when they were originally called "Flowers". I was very fortunate to see you perform many times with Icehouse in Australia during the 1982-1984 ish era and always looked forward to hearing "Don't believe anymore". The memory I have of you playing was that you always looked like you were having a such great time on stage and played with that cheeky big smile (most of the time if the mood of the song allowed of course!!). Love your work.

Love Icehouse's Don't Believe Anymore - heard it live at good old Blacktown RSL a million years ago, Never knew Guy played on it - love the bass line. Cheers

Yeah thanks a lot, Guy. Not only are you very interesting to listen to (the waffle included), but you are also expanding my horizon beyond Pink Floyd and help me set new targets for my own playing. And happy to see the Round House SFoS. It’s so clear that you guys are full of energy and have FUN playing together. It’s not about a piece of art and delivering a very serious message , but about having fun playing. Thanks.

Got a copy of Nicks Saucerful yesterday...love it ! the music stands up so well. stay safe mate

Hi Guy. Actuallly I clicked in the video because I read Icehouse (not Pink Floyd) on the title! Cheers.

Fantastic song, great atmosphere, one of my favourite Icehouse tracks. Im a sucker for fretless bass. Joe Camilleri, of The Black Sorrows fame, on sax too. Simon Lloyd was also great on sax in Icehouse as well. Keen to hear something from Measure For Measure. Maybe Cross The Border, Spanish Gold or No Promises. Cheers!

Just read guys book, and always admired him from his work with floyd and icehouse, this is my favourite ice house tune and was great to watch guy play this, which has Inspired me to buy my first bass and start from ground zero to learn to play... So hopefully one day in the future I can play to a decent standard enough to try and emulate these tunes... Wish me luck

Never heard that song before. I love it! Thank you for sharing, Guy.

Your bass playing on 'The Mountain' from the Sidewalk album blew me away the first time I heard it - still my favourite Icehouse track!

Nxt Icehouse song Guy Hey Little Girl 1982 cant beat that tune bloody majestic.

Guy, thank you for the music! I can't help smiling during your videos. You bring joy

Thank you Guy,that was really excellent as always. Nice to hear Icehouse music. All the best to you as always.

I came because of PF. I keep coming back for everything else. Thank you Guy for these vids. And since found The Lamb at Progfest. Utterly brilliant

Never heard this before or of this group. Very nice indeed and brilliant bass line thank you!

I bought the Nick Mason Bluray. Thank you Guy for your incredible contribution to MUSIC and the bass guitar! I love every song by every artist you've contributed to.

I have never heard this track before, I come to listen to the man play, not fussy what he plays to tell the truth. This track does sound good, as does that expensive fret-less beast. Thanks for doing these Guy, I love to watch, listen and learn..

That was F-ing Awesome! 👌

This is so great seeing these videos! I discovered Icehouse in 1986 - the bass playing on Sidewalk is spectacular. It’s all beautiful playing & it sets the mood of the album. I started out with Measure for Measure and I’d listen in my headphones - the album transported me completely - so I would go to a record shop in Philadelphia called “3rd Street Jazz” where they had all the Icehouse records, imports and singles and I took a deep dive into the band’s sound. Around that time I was also listening to Patrick O’Hearn, so pretty much you and Patrick are why I own a Fender Jazz Fretless bass with the OctaBass pedal.

Guy, you are so entertaining, waffling and playing

For all the times I struggled with my lineless fretless, i now forgive myself.

Love what you are doing with Nick Mason! Nice job with Set the Controls to the Hear of the Sun!

Love all your work! And all the Vids!

The smile after the first note says it all 👍

Takes me back to my youth and my fist messy breakup!

Icehouse. Status fretless. It doesn't get much better than this.

Hi guy , i love the videos and thanks to you i have become a fan of icehouse 👍 fantastic band . stay safe and look forward to the next one .

Love it!

Thanks Guy. I bought the Toy Matinee CD after your video and love it. Always great to discover excellent new music/bands !

Entertaining as ever, thank you Guy!

Love discovering the other tracks and hearing the range. \m/

Another great song that I didn't know! It might be an age thing, but over the past few years, I find the 80s seems to be a proper treasure trove if you stray just off that beaten track. I started out on keys/synths before guitar, and the textures are what make it for me, what got me into PF amongst other things. And there's nothing like a well placed or misplaced bass fill to drive an emotional response. The Roundhouse stuff sounds and looks great, love the sound on those toms. And has hopefully elevated some earlier great songs into people's consciousness. The arrangements have given them new life. Potato Waffling complete!

I HAVE gone back and listened to a lot of Toy Matinee, Icehouse, etc. because of Lockdown Licks. Great stuff. Pratt, you're doing a great public service here!

Guy....these are great! So glad that you are making these. I see why you have always been busy and in demand. Love the playing and back history. Thanks very much and stay safe.

Absolutely love your playing and the whole series of these! Thank you, stay safe!

One of my all time favourites! 🥰

Thank you Guy... Thoroughly enjoyed that sir...

Many.....many thanks Guy. What an amazing song!

Flipping heck...that was beautiful.

-another chap not to have as a neighbour! That was loud and powerful- Thanks Guy.

Thanks Guy, keep em coming 😬👍

One of my favourite Icehouse songs mainly due to the bass playing - honestly, not crawling 😆 although the sax is a killer too. Iva's under-rated as a composer and singer but glad that mullet didn't last too long... Ta! Stay safe and sane

Discovered icehouse because of the first one. Love it

Been working in the pissing rain all day...cold and soaked to the bone....but your vid has as always put a smile on my face guy....thank you.....fretless bass is great in its place.....the opening bars of "where ever I lay my hat" are a great example but it can be a very slippery slope and before you know it your walking on stage and playing something that looks like an upside down fish bone from a tom and jerry cartoon eg tony Levin....or worse still ....the turtle neck sweater!.....stay safe guy and keep on keeping on...best wishes Darren.

Thanks so much Guy for your time in putting this together

I love my fretless J,, and no lines or dots. Caught you at Death Valley Stadium,, Clemson somewhere in the mid 90's. Foggy Orange Barrel. Best concert I've ever seen,, well, next to Hendrix.

Thanks a lot. Amazing videos. Great teacher.

Whooo! Guy’s back 👍👍👍

Came for the Pink Floyd, stayed for the Guy Pratt.

🔥🔥🔥 that's great! What a sound!
