Yes, but I don't each time then hire The Daughters of The American Revolution Hall, drag out the same band and the same set list, and expect the people to continue to shell out money. Then again, maybe he IS going to open that theater in Branson, Missouri.

So many candidates... dozens of outright bad pairings, comedians opening for the likes of Talking Heads and other late '70s greats (thankfully a short-lived trend), a couple of entire years of horrid leads for The Ramones (granted, that might have been intentional... wouldn't want to be upstaged by your opener knowing more chords). But the hands down all-time Worst In Every Way: a long set by Foreigner (who encored), followed by Peter Tosh (who got the bums rush). This after investing 3 hours on the road and 6 more rain-soaked ones wallowing in increasingly deep mud.

In 1981-ish I went to Bristol Locarno to see the Clash. The support was an Indian guy called Peter Singh who dressed in full late period Elvis garb (massive white flares and rhinestones) with the addition of a turban to complete the look. Peter's act was to sing Elvis and Cliff Richard covers in a tuneless and warbly, Hindi-flavoured voice. Sadly Peter's appearance at Bristol was somewhat undermined by the fact that he was completely incapacitated by the drink. He managed no more than a few bars of each song before it was interrupted by his own laughter and/or collapse. "Living Doll" was a particular High/Lowlight. After two or three songs the punk brethren tired of the novelty and sent "The Indian Elvis" back to his dressing room under a hail of debris/bottles/spit before he had a chance to do his legendary "Rock-A-Hula Baby." It is and was the worst support performance I had ever seen, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

The Keith Relf who used to be the lead singer of the Yardbirds? The very same (Jim McCarty was in the band too). If you're into obscure (and very tenuous !) links, Eric Clapton left Yardbirds for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, whose ranks, a few years later, included Henry Lowther and Chris Mercer, who appear on various of Bryan's early albums, most notably Chris' tenor sax solo on 'Let's Stick Together'. > Blimey, dangerous business playing live on stage - Alex Harvey's brother (of > Stone the Crows) went the same way. Actually Keith died at home, but you're right about Les' stage electrocution. Another link ! Les Harvey's bass-playing chum in Stone The Crows was one Jim Dewar, who was later a mainstay of ex-Procul Harum guitarist Robin Trower's band (as vocalist and bassist) during his best known period in the 70's ('Bridge of Sighs' etc).

He had been fairly mellow and did some acoustic stuff and then came back to do Cuts and it was really electric. He was really kicking some heavy sub bass at the end although his sound was not that great. BTW this was in the lower Rave bar at the Eagle Club.

The Keith Relf who used to be the lead singer of the Yardbirds? The very same (Jim McCarty was in the band too). If you're into obscure (and very tenuous !) links, Eric Clapton left Yardbirds for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, whose ranks, a few years later, included Henry Lowther and Chris Mercer, who appear on various of Bryan's early albums, most notably Chris' tenor sax solo on 'Let's Stick Together'. > Blimey, dangerous business playing live on stage - Alex Harvey's brother (of > Stone the Crows) went the same way. Actually Keith died at home, but you're right about Les' stage electrocution. Another link ! Les Harvey's bass-playing chum in Stone The Crows was one Jim Dewar, who was later a mainstay of ex-Procul Harum guitarist Robin Trower's band (as vocalist and bassist) during his best known period in the 70's ('Bridge of Sighs' etc). Yet again, all roads lead to Roxy... Ivor. n.p.

Another act that I found interesting was the support in Brussels during the Mamouna tour. Does anyone know who or what this support act was?

In reading about my "chance meeting" with Bryan Ferry?" Originally I posted the details on another site (the yahoo club for Roxy Music and Brian Eno) so some of you may have already read it. It's kind of a sweet story... And I'm interested in retelling it because of the picture it paints of Bryan. Those of us who have good imaginations will be able to track it well! If you would rather go to the original site you can do a search on Yahoo Clubs for Roxy Music or if there is interest, I can reproduce it here. Let me know.
