Summer's over but there's still a little time left for some sport .
Here's The Rock-n-Roll Sports Classic. Something I've never been aware of before but which features members of ELO alongside various other 70s favourites.
Look out for Hugh McDowell and Michael Jackson in the 100 yard dash (near the beginning of the video) and a little later Hughie has a go at swimming!
At around 31.00 “Rich" Tandy and a couple of Jacksons play basketball and at around 47.00 Rod Stewart and Mr Tandy get to compare goalkeeping skills .
At 58 00 there's another highlight - Richard Tandy and Lionel Richie try the long jump.

That's great! Did you have to watch it right through to find the highlights for us? In a similar vein, has anyone been able to get through the entire Ten Hours of Richard Tandy?

You can't really go wrong when Phyllis Diller is one of your team captains. Tandy looked kinda like he knew what he was doing out there on the basketball court....well, for an English fella. haha. I wonder what the cocaine budget was?

It was fun to watch but I was hoping to see something of Jeff or Bev; maybe they're just not so sporty. I was surprised that Hugh wasn't too good at athletics - he seems so energetic on stage. 10hrs of Tandy is tempting. 24 hours is better .

I thought I'd seen this before but I can only remember Hughie. Did it happen more than once? Good fun anyway

Can you imagine if this was done with artists of today? All the wardrobe malfunctions and gang/rapper warfare on the basketball court.
