I made a thread about these guys on another forum and I don't think anybody knew who they were. They were / are a Kiwi band, who had bigger hits in the seventies than the eighties. But in 1983, they released Rain, a top 3 hit in Australia. Marc Hunter, the lead singer, died in 1998 from cancer. They were also briefly known as Hunter.

Re: Dragon

Their lead guitarist was the great Tommy Emmanuel, who I've treated to a thread earlier on

Re: Dragon

My favourite Dragon song is Young Years - my Dad does a great version after a couple of beers

Young Years

Re: Dragon



O Zambezi released in 1978.

Are You Old Enough

Dragon bombed out in the US when they came here to tour. I take it they toured the US in 1978 with Johnny Winter....



Their 2nd album from 1974. I really like their earlier works, where they were more of a Prog band.

Scented Gardens for the Blind Parts 1,2,3
