Hi Sjaak (and all), it's from Monday 28th October 1974, in Newcastle, which was the last UK Country Life Tour gig (the 2nd night in Newcastle). I was there, with 5 friends. I'm sure there were more on this list who were there too, right Joc ? The Geordie way Bryan says 'Newcastle' sounds a little like 'Glasgow' - but isn't. It does sound like he says, quietly, at the end of the sentence, 'in Glasgow' - but he's actually saying the word 'Newcastle'. Also, 'Eskimos and Geordies' later on, also gives it away. At Glasgow, as an old battered tape made by my friend and schoolmate Kutchy proved at the time, in Glasgow he said 'Eskimos and Glaswegie'. He only uttered this on the Country Life Tour (the 'Glaswegie' bit). Incidentally - Roxy did NOT play the Apollo, Glasgow, on Saturday 26th October, as is widely reported in so many places. This was a day off for the Band. They did just 3 nights in Glasgow - Wednesday to Friday, 23rd, 24th, 25th, as I attended all of them. To be painfully (and rather ridiculously) precise, K22 Stalls Weds, K23 Stalls Thurs, and Box L seat 1 on the Friday. (Anorak spot - the middle Glasgow night was the only Glasgow one where Bryan wore the 'Gaucho' outfit - it was the Airline Pilot look, for the other 2 nights). Oh, and a kilt for the encores only, btw. Later that same 'middle' Glasgow evening, the remains of TGPTs bass drum skin could be seen in the Albany Hotel Bar (really), being presided over by worried technicians - he smashed it halfway though the set, and had to use the miniscule replacement one, from The Jess Roden Band for the second half of the gig - It was fixed for Friday night though, courtesy of a little help from people from a music shop in Glasgow at the time, called Wm. Thomsons, who did a patch up job for them on the Friday morning, new Logo and all. It broke near the end of 'Song For Europe', and the replacement tiny Jess Roden one was brought on stage during the only time they could have done it - when drums were not required - which was during 'Dream Home', several songs later. They travelled to Newcastle around 12 noon on Saturday 26th - no Gig. We drove down too :) - not a stones throw behind, in 2 cars. Finally, I'd like to apologise for the dreadful anorakism of the above explanation, there are some things in life for which one retains complete photographic memories, and going to Roxy gigs in my teenage years, is one of them. Oh, and I do realise, this is why I haven't got a proper job. :) Happy Easter everyone, Johnny 'Bloody Anorak' Reece x - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
