SPOTT FARM on YOUTUBE

After several false starts and a rather steep learning curve I finally  managed to create and upload this medley of excepts from the songs, which would have comprised a fairly representative 2nd set, we might have played around 1974. Contains bits of songs by Seals and Croft, Joni Mitchell, The Rascals, Left Bank, YES, Tony Kosinec, The Association, Poco, Procol Harum, and Elton John.

Some of these songs were recorded live (and sound it) and a few were recorded in the Mercy Bros Studio, Elmira Ont for a promo tape which we sent around to universities and clubs to try and score gigs.

Since video cams were a high-end specialty item back then, there are no known videos of SPOTT FARM performing, so I've cobbled together a slide show using almost all of the photos I've been able to scrounge up from back-in-the-day along with some generic farmy-type shots and some abstracts I have collected.

Thanks to all who shared there photos and memories from that Golden Age. If I can locate more images I'll try another medley, now that I've got a clue about what I'm doing.

Just in time for Christmas 2016 I created a video slide show for a re-worked version of Spott Farm's Christmas Record - a 45 released in 1974 - You can see it here -> Spott Farm's Christmas Record Video Slide Show
