Silverton End Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 5 minutes ago, RockMusic said: They are a band that wear everyday clothes with jeans and shirts. As a psychedelic band you might expect colourful attire but rather plain jeans and shirts/ t- shirts are the order of the day. However, their music is most colourful - some might even say "golden".

RockMusic Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 There's excellent YouTube footage of them playing an outdoor gig, I think, at a university, possibly Detroit. It is quite sensational stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Muir Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Feeling a wee bit for the Montrose fans who can’t even be bothered to come on here and tell us to shut up about yellow/gold and music in the match thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezeboxson Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Surely the "gold" thing is just a slightly lighter shade of Orange almost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't read it then. As soon as you see the burgundy Les Paul and the word "Brian" just simply skip forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our kits were black and gold (hoops) in the fifties. if you check http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Dumbarton/Dumbarton.htm it was those colours in 1887-1889 and (barring 1897-1904 and 1921-1924) all the way from 1907 - with variations to the shorts and socks [the 1967-1969 red ones a horrible aberration, but not as horrible as those flesh coloured ones at Stark's a few years ago] - to the introduction of the white with black and gold hoop in the 60s (first as a second strip then from 1969 as the main one.) It started going downhill/yellow in 1988. I've never liked any of the yellow tinged tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
