Hey,
'Steel Pulse' I saw a few times. They were pretty heavy duty.
I think a couple of the band relocated to Africa later, bought a farm in Ethiopia. Rasta Fari.
Amongst all the Marley 'One Love' kinda stuff, they were some really serous dudes from Brixton.
And Birmingham. Scared me to death! But having been to Ethiopia on holiday. Believe me, those guys just laugh at the Brixton boys and Marley. There'a great collection of Ethiopian stuff, 26 cd's, spanning about 30 years. Collated in France. Going back to when Selassie was exiled to Jerusalem in the Second World War and brought back an Armenian choir with him. (Ed: are you making this up?)(Ian: No!)
Looking back at my posting about Blackbushe.....sounds far too negative.
Apologies.
My buddy, (a bobcat, neil and csny fan) went to Wembley 1974.
A died-in-the-wool-CSN man since. Despite the fact that Crosby can start a fight in an
empty room.
I noticed that recently (i.e. this millenium) there's been a release of the CSNY 1974 tour.
In triplicate with brochure and a price tag.
Two tracks from Wembley on it. Apparently, the first 'stadium ' tour of a super-group.
They grossed 11 million. Bill Graham promoted this after his success with Bobby's tour with the Band earlier that year. So I'm told.
Would love a link!
It was only 45 years ago!
Enough ramblings for tonight.
Stay safe!
