This is a bit hard to remember given the number of brain cells I have burnt out in the intervening years , but I ' think ' it was Chicken Shack ( with Christine Mcvie of Fleetwood mac on vocals /piano ) She was then going by her maiden name of Christine Perfect . This was at Bridgend WMCA in South Wales - a real dump of a venue . Around 10 people were in attendance and we were the only ones who liked the band ( who were a seminal part of the british blues rock scene ) , the other audience members threw pennies at the stage , but we were welded to the apron of the tiny stage and ignored them . We helped carry the groups amps on and off stage from their commer van . it was a great gig . must have been september or october 67 as the band did not form until august 67 . If this wasn't my first rock gig then it was john mayall. fleetwood mac, aynsley dunbar retaliation et al at the far more prestigious Saville theatre in london in September 1967- this was one of the first Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac shows and the first time I saw Mick Taylor onstage- looking about 14 years old and he hardly looked at the audience the entire time he was onstage . He must have been 17 or so at the time but he looked much younger. * Ah, as usual we have similar memories, dave. The first time I saw the Chicken Shack was on the bill of the same festival where Fleetwood Mac did their debut gig. But unfortunately I go back a year before that to the Lippmann-Rau blues show of 1966 at the Albert Hall, featuring Otis Rush, Junior Wells, Sleepy John Estes(!), Robert Pete Williams(!!) and Sippie Wallace. Then I saw the Pink Floyd, the Alan Price Set, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Peter and Gordon and various other acts at an Oxfam show at the same venue, and my final show of '66 was at the dreaded Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, featuring the Pink Floyd and the Who. One of these events was my first rock gig . but I think I saw the jacques loussier trio before this - they were a jazz trio who jazzed up bach- probably in 1965. and I was taken to see an pipe organ concert in london by my dad when I was about eleven .

Ah. Can't read that one often enough. This may have been what made me into a Robyn fan for life. On a trip to Baltimore, age 16 I think, with, yeah, a Walkman, I bought "Rubber Soul" and "Globe of Frogs". Thus, in the hotel room, I shut out the world by listening to the Beatles while reading the above. Popping the GOF tape in was pretty much like experiencing an instant synthesis... Talking of the Antichrist, I did finally listen to that Arcade Fire record, and, well, popular as they are, I do think that's gotta be one of the most involving bands going, and (Antichrist Television Blue) is a standout. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 07:46:49 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: My name is "Gary Burghoff", and for twopence, I'll autograph your tuckus On 4/22/07, Stacked Crooked wrote: > > > first tour that my buddy Peter helped out with.> > > that would've been spring of '88. almost certainly the john anson ford > theater gig. . > > > as a band member around that time.
