Yep, a few Turkeys in there but some great stuff as well. I enjoyed.Quote:

Man had the theme tune to the series too 'Day and Night' I think from the Slow Motion Album. And the performance for 1973 on there was excellent, a fuller version is on Youtube.
Indeed Enoch. They would host their own show and give a masterclass in how instruments should be played and harmonies sung !
Badfinger (The Iveys) were cursed apparently.
just like every era there was some right old shite about in the 70's
Yes,poor choice of phrase. Apple, money troubles, 2 band members committing suicide, another died young.Quote:

Baby Blue, which reached 3 in the USA but was not released over here because of Apple's problems at the time, is one of my all time fav tracks.
Pub quiz question - The Beatles and Badfinger had a song each of the same name but not the same song.
What was it?
Good spot. Wont give the answer as I had to check on wiki.
I saw Badfinger support Man at the Top Rank Cardiff in 1974. Badfiner were really heavy rock then.
I know it.However Im that old I cant remember it.
Indeed they were ,probably too costly as well .Quote:

So famous they used to regularly play the Municipal Hall in Pontypridd over the last 10 years. Whereas Man are playing the dizzy height of the Earl Haig Club in Whitchurch next month! (Well the surviving member of Man, Martin Ace).Quote:
