1977 ?
That was a bad year for them at festivals all over the States too.
They were at the height of their substance abuse then. Only four years into their recording career, too. It took ten years to clean up and get back on track.

It was a GALLON container full of used beer that smacked me on the back of the head at Reading 87, also ten years later, that lead me to have a year off festivals in '88, try Glasto in '89 and '90, and wind up in Cropredy later in '90.

Funny how things work out.

New album from Julianne and Tim (All About Eve).  It's rather gorgeous...  Digital only so far.

We saw Aerosmith on their first visit to the UK. They played Reading Festival and were booed off the stage, with beer cans filled with urine being thrown at them.

I bought a number of CD's earlier this week from a charity shop. One was Watering The Spirit by Tom Hall (I thought it was by American singer-songwriter Tom T Hall but wasn't). Don't know who Tom Hall is or was but he seems quite a character. Part of the sleeve notes read "Mark Griffiths uses Dean Markley strings, Cozy Dixon uses Premier Drums and since the Black Lion closed Tom uses the Cricketers Arms, Northampton.  

Hope the dates don't clash... if they do, health first of course!!

Ha - it's nice when that happens.  My favourite is you can hear (if you're listening for it) me shouting out "Lemmmmmy" just before Lemmy gets announced at the Hawkwind Crystal Palace Bowl gig in '85.

I'm still prevaricating, mainly but not totally, because of my health...it could well be radiotherapy around there.

Since I last posted, I have lost a dear friend. So I decided to prevaricate no more and booked a standing ticket for each night. I never saw the Dead, and this may be one of the very few chances I get to experiencing something akin to the real, er, deal.

I saw Aerosmith twice, in 1989 and 1993.

I have had a memory of the second show, when somebody called out for them to play Rats In The Cellar - one of my favourite 'Smith tunes - and Stephen Tyler saying 'Good choice' and them playing it.

I'm currently listening to a naughty recording of the show which was posted on the site where these things are posted, and my memory is there for me to hear once again several decades later.

Nice to know my grey matter is still working.

38" chest would fit. Just... BUT, if it's shrunk at all over the years, I'd be permanently be breathing out (while the people around me breathe in...  )
