bowie was supposed to play malcomes or whatever it was called,cancelled due to him doing top of the pops!! i think mott may have done the gig that night
Last saw 'em March 14th 1970 @ Leeds U. U. One month to the day after "The Who Live @ Leeds" was recorded at the same venue. Not sure of their (MTH) lineup that night, and this track probably was not yet released. Such are the sands of time Funnily enough, FM's "Sands of Time? came out the same year,
anyone go see the rats in a free concert in west park around 1969? edger broughten was on too i think. who was red dirt? the rats?
Saw MTH at The Kirk a small and brilliant club at Kirklevington (Teesside) of which I was a member late sixties and early seventies. The sound system was probably appropriate for Wembley Stadium. The whole place was shaking and I could feel the sound waves hammering on my chest. I thought I'd leave with blood running out my ears. That said it took two or three days for my head to stop hurting and be able to hear again. That's probably why I'm partially deaf today ... didn't even like them, noisy ****s.
They were the first band i ever saw when they performed at the Pickering Garth annual fundraising barbecue.
I lived on Anlaby Common and my best friend was a hairdresser at Brian Dixon's and I used to go to meet him from work. Trevor Bolder used to go there and may have even worked there for a short period, but I'm not sure about that part, but I certainly met him there.
Tell you what - i would pay decent money to see the original Roxy Music with Eno reunion. I **** you not.
