This is an excerpt from the 1972 single release of ‘Most People I Know (Think That I’m Crazy)’ by Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs.
Curator’s notes
This studio version of 'Most People I Know’ begins with a straightforward acoustic guitar intro before piano and drums kick in. At the two-minute mark, an epic guitar solo signals a change in direction of both the song and the band, and helped usher in a new era of Australian rock. The Aztecs line-up changed several times with this incarnation of the band known as the loudest and heaviest. Although known for playing blues-rock, this song is more straightforward rock’n'roll of a type that would influence much Australian rock music of the 1970s.
