Dang it Slikki,

Thet thar guy plays a purty geeetar. You is obliviously a poisin of culture....der.

When I was a kid I saw Leo Kotke perform, along with two bands. Yeah, he opened up the show, and it was weird because the other groups played nothing like his stuff.

If I'm not mistaken, one of the bands was Mountain, and the other was Uriah Heap. Seriously.........a very strange triple feature. This was back in the early 1970s.

Heh, I do remember smoking some excellent Afghani hash during the concert, which is known to improve the sound sometimes. Well, it can't hurt.

Hope you enjoy the music,

K.L.

If this link doesn't work for some reason, the song I included is called Vaseline Machine Gun.

Yep, thanks for jogging my memory Martin. I also had the pleasure of attending a recital by that ensemble, alas without the aid of superior euphoric substances to pass the time. That would have been in Slough circa 1984, when a series of class acts passed through, including Nazareth, Judie Tzuke and the Boomtown Rats. If memory serves, which is unlikely, the support act on that occasion were The Handsome Beasts. By the way, the Rats were excellent, that I do remember.
 
Tommy is great player.

Here is Jon Gomm, a player that Dr. Rick and I had the pleasure of watching, listening to, and having dinner with a few years ago. Great player, excellent chap.

Ah Focus!
That brought back some memories.

As mentioned higher up in this thread, back in the 70s promoters often tended to put on a mismatch of acts. In 1973 (perhaps 74) I opened for Focus. Me, one guitar, one voice, doing contemporary folky stuff. All of the audience had come to see Focus, and I had to do a 45 minute set to "warm them up". Ha! Thankfully the audiences were kind and into "cult" alternative stuff, and so I survived.

Focus were... LOUD! One memory was standing at the back of an auditorium at one of the venues, and literally feeling the music. Every fibre in my body vibrated in sympathy with the music. The only other time I have felt that was standing under the end of a runway when Concorde came just overhead and threw on the afterburners.

Focus were a superb group. All of the guys were very accomplished classical musicians too, having been through the Royal Dutch College of Music.

At one of the venues, back in the dressing room after a show, in came Johhny Patrick, at that time a musical director for the BBC, and he showed some original medieval lute tablature to Jan Akkermann who was sitting beside me. Jan reached under the leather covered bench seat, pulled out a lute case, set up the old tablature, and just played it all from sight on his lute. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed.

Thanks for bringing back the memories :)
