Danced on stage with Les Gray, bit of Tiger Feet. What's not to like Kemps? You'll be humming these all weekend ...
The gig I'd most like to have been at is Jerry Lee Lewis at The Star Club, Hamburg, 1964. The album is on Spotify and is, for me, one of the greatest live albums. Glad I got to see The Butthole Surfers in the mid-80's when they were truly ****ing mental.
Unfortunately not. Although I'm sure that the chancers would have recorded that in Spanish too. As well as German. And Russian. A couple of years ago I read a book about the Romanov family. Truly horrifying how they were imprisoned, murdered in a cellar in cold blood, their bodies multilated and disposed of, and the whole sordid affair covered up. And yet, as I was reading it, everytime Rasputin was mentioned, mainly in conjunction with administering hope to poor young haemophiliac Alexei, I found myself singing that bloody song. It really doesn't fit the human horror of the situation.
I'm not here to judge anybody but...... did you sing it in Russian or English? Think carefully before answering.
Disappointed to miss seeing Butthole Surfers We were about to set off to see them at similar time (in Manchester I think?) and found out the gig had been cancelled
I saw Boney M & Odyssey in Preston just before Christmas last year. I'm still waiting to get my revenge on her.
Wish I'd seen Freddie live. Still hopes on this lot. I had a ticket in 2010, still do, to see them at the Millennium Dome. Couldn't go due to working on a ship.
Heard someone on the wireless recounting a story about Odyssey. Said they turned up to a gig, I think in Manchester, &,despite only having an audience of two they still performed their whole set as though it was a sellout. Don't get professionals like that anymore.
Saw the Stones twice, the Beatles and Little Richard in a memorable 3 months in 1964. You didn't realise at the time how fortunate you were, especially living in a small backwater like Brid. Though the Beatles were at Scarborough.
